CHAPTER 633: CHAPTER 633: COORDINATION UNSUCCESSFUL

She unapologetically hung up the phone, and the man did not call again.

However, the next day, she received a lawyer’s letter from him.

Holding the lawyer’s letter, An Ruo’s heart chilled once again.

He knew Kangkang was everything to her, so why did he still want to take the child away from her?

Was he really that ruthless and resolute towards her?

Or, did he no longer love her at all, with no place for her in his heart anymore?

An Ruo laughed at her own foolishness and infatuation.

He was now married to Lan Keren. What was she still fantasizing about?

It was truly impossible between them; only by forgetting him could she start a new life.

Pondering alone for a long time, An Ruo’s heart grew much firmer.

She picked up the phone to find a lawyer, determined to fight back against Tang Yuchen’s coercion.

An Ruo did not tell Kangkang these things. The little guy saw his mom looking happy every day but was unaware that behind the scenes, his mom and dad were preparing documents to go to court over his custody.

————

A week later, the court summoned them. This time it was for mediation, and if they could not reconcile, a second hearing would be conducted.

In court, Tang Yuchen presented a series of advantages of him raising the child. An Ruo stared at him coldly throughout, her gaze colder than that towards a stranger.

When it was An Ruo’s turn, she said only one sentence, "The child is my everything. I love him dearly. I cannot live without him."

Tang Yuchen’s heart suddenly felt a sharp pain, as if someone had viciously stabbed his heart, causing him to bleed profusely.

He dared not look into her eyes; he was afraid to see her pain and hatred, fearing it might make him break down completely.

The mediation was unsuccessful. Tang Yuchen refused to give up the child’s custody, prompting the court to decide to schedule a second hearing after some time.

Walking out of the courthouse, An Ruo walked ahead with her back straight, while the man watched her back intently, slowly following behind her.

Stepping down the stairs, she suddenly turned around and looked at him with eyes full of sorrow, hatred, and grievance.

Tang Yuchen felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his steps halted, his body rigid.

An Ruo looked at him for a few seconds; the emotions in her eyes eventually settling into indifference, "Why do you want to take away the child’s custody?"

She was questioning him, wanting to hear his reasoning.

Tang Yuchen’s lips tightened. He gave a trite excuse, "Kangkang is my only son; I want him to receive the best education, to inherit my properties in the future."

An Ruo scoffed, "You can have children with Lan Keren, as many as you want. There’s no need to fight with me for Kangkang!"

"Ke Ren and I will not have children."

She was taken aback, angrily questioning him.
