Chương 388: Discarded My Own Son

Catching this look instantaneously, Lu AnLing said, "Jun won't be joining us today."

Hearing this, Mo Yichen frowned. His brother had given him an ultimatum and now he had decided not to show up?!

Seeing Mo Yichen's face darken, Lu AnLing realized that she needed to elaborate. "He really wanted to come but someone hacked in to Kang Corporations database. He told me to tell you to do the meeting as it should be done and I'll fill him in later. Also, to tell the final partner that he apologizes for not being able to meet them today."

Hearing this, Mo Yichen frowned even more.

'Don't Tell me...' Mo Yichen thought for a moment as he touched the bridge of his nose and then he said, "Tell him not to worry about it. This was obviously not his fault nor intention..."

After saying this, Mo Yichen got up from his chair and then he turned to the girls, "If you could give me a second."

The man then walked straight out of the room and made his way to his office. There, Zeke sat at Mo Yichen's desk on his phone.

Seeing Zeke, Mo Yichen frowned hard.

"What have you done?" Mo Yichen said with annoyance.

Hearing this, Zeke did not look at Mo Yichen questioningly. Instead, his stare was firm and unwavering.

Seeing such a look, Mo Yichen began getting more annoyed but instead of letting his anger get the better of him, he sighed.

Mo Yichen: "You're just delaying the inevitable. You'll be meeting Jun sooner rather than later and you shouldn't be afraid Zhi—"

"Don't call me that." Zeke snapped. "I've long abandoned that name."

Hearing this, Mo Yichen sighed once more but before he could say anything else, Zeke spoke once more.

"Also, I'm not afraid. When I meet your brother I want to have fixed all the bad things my existence has caused him. You know as well as I do that I robbed him from his freedom."

"Of course I know that. But Jun will never blame you for that." Mo Yichen said.

"If he doesn't blame me for taking the attempt on my life as a chance to run away to my lover, then won't he blame me for allowing others to believe he killed me, and hate him for it? For being such a coward that after Anna had died I disrespected her last wish and discarded my own son who your brother helped raise?" Zeke listed many many reason for why Kang Jun could hate him and they were all viable to him. With each word that escaped his mouth the more his face darkened. "Do you really think your brother won't hate me? If so, I think you've gone crazy my friend."

Mo Yichen frowned as Zeke spoke. He was beginning to get tired of the man's pessimism. It was true that he had done a lot of wrong and caused a lot of wrong but Mo Yichen did not understand why the Kang Zhi or Zeke if the present would always make it seem as if he had caused the end of the world.

Not wanting to argue too much with him, Mo Yichen tried to fix the mood slightly.

"So you decided to hack into his database? I think you're the crazy one. That's a really stupid idea. Jun always figures out who's messing with him." Mo Yichen said calmly as he crossed his arms over his chest.

Hearing this, Zeke shrugged. "Whether he figures out who hacked him or not isn't a big deal. I asked my secretary to do it."

"So you're throwing her under the bus?" Mo Yichen said with confusion. "You realize that my brother is already on edge because someone is trying to attack his wife."

"I do." Zeke said simply as he sent a message to someone on his phone. After doing this, Zeke pushed himself up and walked over to Mo Yichen. "Let's go start the meeting."

Mo Yichen frowned at how simple and little Zeke thought of Kang Jun's situation. Did he not care about Kang Jun? Didn't he want to atone for the hardships he had caused the man? Then why was he so calm. So nonchalant.

It was slightly annoying but Mo Yichen did not say anything else. Instead, he walked out with the man, towards the meeting room.

As the two walked into the room, Lu AnLing and Tang Bingyi were in deep conversation about who knows what, but as soon as the two heard sound come from the door, both girls quieted down and turned around swiftly.

Seeing the two men, Tang Bingyi stood up and went to welcome the final partner. Meanwhile, Lu AnLing also got up, but her eyes just lingered on Zeke.

Seeing Zeke right in front of her eyes Lu AnLing's eyebrows lifted up slightly. She was very surprised, but for some reason, a part of her had wondered if Zeke was the final partner.

It was strange that he was in China to begin with, and in T City at that.

Seeing Lu AnLing's cute reaction, Zeke let out a small laugh and then he said, "I told you we'd be meeting again Miss Lu."

Zeke then stretched out his hand towards her, ignoring everyone else in the room momentarily.

Despite her slight shock, not wanting to seem rude, Lu AnLing took Zeke's hand into hers and shook.

"Yes... you did. But I never really expected this..." Lu AnLing said lowly.

Hearing her response, Zeke laughed lightly and then he said, "I wanted it to be a surprise of sorts."

"Well I was certainly surprised." Lu AnLing said simply.

Meanwhile, on the sidelines, Mo Yichen and Tang Bingyi watched the scene strangely.

With her arms across her chest, Tang Bingyi said, "The two of you know each other?"

Turning to Tang Bingyi and Mo Yichen, Lu AnLing nodded and said, "Yes, in the past when I was in France Mr Zeke has helped me out a lot."

Hearing this, Mo Yichen frowned slightly. He couldn't understand what was going on. He knew and had a good relationship with Lu AnLing? What had Kang Zhi been planning?
