”Then I shall prove it with my work,” Xinghe replied confidently.
Grandfather Xi narrowed his perceptive gaze.
He had a knack for reading people. He could tell Xinghe wasn't bluffing but he still didn't believe she could possibly accomplish the mission.
Over the years, the Xi family had spent an uncountable amount of money to produce this technology but had failed; the odds were not in Xinghe's favor.
”Grandfather, why not let her try since we have nothing to lose,” Mubai uttered beside her, ”Furthermore, I believe in her!”
”You believe in her?” His grandfather was astonished.
There was no hesitation in Mubai's reply, ”Definitely.”
He wasn't lying to appease his grandfather. For some reasons, he believed in Xinghe unconditionally.
Since she had his grandson's vote of confidence, Grandfather Xi decided to give Xinghe a chance. He announced, ”Fine! You can have a go at it, if you can manage this, I will honor your wish, but if you fail, you must willingly part ways with Lin Lin!”
”Then, it's settled. You have my word!” Xinghe accepted the challenge with aplomb. Her win the horse or lose the saddle courage impressed everyone present.
Grandfather Xi, for some reason, started to look forward to her success.
If the woman was successful, he would have her remarry into Xi Family, that way both Lin Lin and Xinghe would stay.
Mubai was harboring the same plan; he wanted to keep both his son and his son's mother.
Of course, Xinghe was clueless to their intention. However, she would just shrug it off even if she had known.
They couldn't force her into the remarriage if she refused!
