323 Repetitive Defeat!

Afterwards...

'Vroom…'

The year-end was about to come and everyone was very excited about it which could be noticed by seeing the extra numbers of cars on the highway.

Since many companies had given holidays to their employees, many of the families and couples were rushing to the market and towards the tourist spots excitingly and in a leisure manner to buy gifts for the new year and to enjoy their holidays respectively completely unlike the strange atmosphere formed in this Land Rover Car.

An awkward kind of silence was engulfed in the car that even though Mo Lingtan seemed to be focused on the road but his side-eyes were continuously staring at this little boy who was quietly sitting beside him yet this little boy knew that his newfound father was continuously looking at him.

However, this little boy pretended to not notice his newly found father's stares.

Usually, Mo Lingtan didn't drive, either a chauffeur or Qi Zhu drove for him, but today's matter was personal so Mo Lingtan didn't bring anyone with him.

Therefore, he needed to be focused on the road as he couldn't afford any kind of mishap as now his son was sitting beside him in this car.

His son.

What a strange word.

And this strange word couldn't let Mo Lingtan's mind calm down. Many things were running in Mo Lingtan's mind.

Xia Xiulan's miserable story…

Xia Reng's parentless past life…

Xia Reng's hatred for Mo Qiwn…

Lee Xuiye's unexpected reaction upon seeing her new son which came in her life without having her know about it. Mo Lingtan didn't know how she would behave.

Whether she would accept this child?

If yes, it would be a good thing but…

If not, then Mo Lingtan didn't know what to do with this child as he couldn't counter Lee Xuiye's opinion, if her opinion would make sense.

Sigh!

Another complicated thing was happening in their lives.

…

"How old are you?" Mo Lingtan asked to chase away this awkward silence.

"I will be 10 after this new year." Xia Reng replied in his innocent voice yet stern tone.

"And...Which...which school do you go to?" 

"I study at home. Ms. Jenny was my teacher."

"Was?"

"She went back to France. Although she promised to teach me here, she didn't fulfill it and went back." Xia Reng said hatredly.

He hated people who wouldn't fulfill their promises.

"She must have her reasons." Mo Lingtan tried to reason out. Though this little boy was not looking at him, Mo Lingtan understood his hatred after hearing this little boy's hateful tone.

"Then she shouldn't have promised me in the first place." Xia Reng retaliated.

With that, the conversation between newly form father and newly form son had died out as Mo Lingtan didn't know what to do as he neither knew Ms. Jenny nor Xia Reng. 

'Vroom…'

----

On the other side of City B.

Emperor Night Club.

City B was an energetic city where all of the showbiz stars and big industrialists were living and making the city more luxurious. 

In this night club, these rich people came every other day to enjoy or to forget the unpleasant things of their lives by gulping down a few glasses of drink or in a miserable condition of lives, a few bottles go down.

The same thing which Lu Yichen had the intention to do as again he lost a case in court and again Father Lu lashed out at Lu Yichen.

The Lu's were renowned for law practice in Country X as there were hardly any cases in which the Lus were defeated in. Because of which many big companies hired Lu's Law Firm as their lawyer. The biggest company of this country, Shaan Industries, also hired Lu's Law Firm as their lawyer so one could see how valuable Lu's Law Firm was in this country. 

Unfortunately, that word 'hardly' was now converted into repetitive 'defeat' all thanks to the Young Master of the Lu Family.

Obviously, Father Lu would be angry when his only son would bring down the name of the law firm which he had formed through so many years of his sweat and blood.

However, what could Lu Yichen do? When he didn't have any kind of interest in law practice, but under the pressure of his family, he chose to become a lawyer...or in more appropriate words a dud lawyer who was losing cases more than winning cases.

Well despite losing so many cases what could Lu Yichen do?

Nothing!

The frustration he had towards his life was far more than the disappointment Father Lu had towards his only son.

Since there was nothing Lu Yichen could do towards his failure, he decided to gulp down a few bottles of beer to drown his frustration.

While other people were enjoying themselves and bouncing their waist on the dance floor, Lu Yichen was drinking alone in a private room.

Now he was used to this loneliness. Although he had friends...his gang, they couldn't understand his problem. 

It was not that they didn't want to understand his problem but they also had problems in their own lives.

The Lu Family was not the only one who pressured their children, other families also did. Take for example Li Yan, he hated his fiancee but wasn't he still engaged with her?

Well, what could he also do?

Nothing!

Thinking about Li Yan and here he was…

'Knock..Knock…'

'Click'

"You are here again?" Li Yan faintly smiled while entering the room.

"Hmm...celebrating a new case defeat…" Lu Yichen said in a raspy voice.

Li Yan helplessly sighed and sat beside him while taking a bottle of beer for himself. "Why don't you talk to your old man for once?"

Hearing his struggle, Li Yuchen snorted and retorted "Why don't you talk to your old man for your freedom? Well...where is your controller, huh?"
