Chapter 182: Have Her Detained

Translator: LonelytreeEditor: Millman97

The power structure within a modern rich and powerful family was not unlike that of an imperial harem. Everyone nursed their own aspirations and goals, plotting and scheming against one another.

It was her belief that no matter who Mubai eventually married, she would not love Lin Lin from the bottom of her heart.

She would have ostracized him or, even worse, harm him.

After all, Lin Lin was Mubai's eldest son so he had the strongest claim to Xi Empire. He would have to be removed for the other woman's own child to rise to the top.

Therefore, after Mubai remarried, Lin Lin's situation would be dangerous and precarious.

Thus, she had to lead him away from this environment, to help him avoid all these power struggles, and for him to be independent and strong.

However, she couldn't reveal all of this to Mubai…

If they knew she was dying and purposely hid that fact from them, it was certain that they wouldn't let her take Lin Lin away.

How could they let Lin Lin grow up alone in the dangerous outside world without the support of the Xi family?

She swallowed her grievances because she knew she couldn't rely on anyone but herself.

Xinghe looked at Mubai with fresh determination. ”If I remember correctly, there is a rule within Xi Family that whoever manages to cure Old Madam Xi's physical condition will be granted any wish that he or she wants. Is that right?”

Mubai narrowed his eyes at Xinghe. ”You want to try your hands at this task?”

”Definitely!” Xinghe nodded, her eyes shining with confidence.

There was a smile in Mubai's eyes when he replied, ”It's not that I have no confidence in you but can you really accomplish this? She requires a perfect artificial human limb; current medical research is not even close to understanding it.”

Xinghe replied with a winning smile, ”If you don't try, you'll never know.”

”So, you're sure this will be another win for you?”

”Truth be told, it's hard to tell for now but I have confidence in myself,” Xinghe's eyes were practically glowing when she said this.
