The child would forever be a part of the Xi Family; her wish was impossible.
In other words, he couldnât give in to her demands.
âNo matter what, I canât give you Lin Lin,â Mubai rejected firmly.
Xinghe frowned. âIs there no room for negotiation?â
âThere is noneâŠâ unless youâre still my wife.
The thought suddenly flashed across Mubaiâs mind and he shuddered.
Iciness crept into Xingheâs voice, â1 am Lin Linâs mother. Canât 1 look after him for a few years?â
âYou can visit him any time you want.â
âBut I want to be a constant part of his life, to give him everything he deservesâŠâ
âMy Xi Family can provide him with everything, better than what you could provide,â Mubai said over her. It silenced Xinghe.
He was right, the Xi Family could give Lin Lin everything he needed and more.
If not for that recurring dream, Xinghe wouldnât have approached Mubai with this demand so soon. Her standing was still lower than the Xi Familyâs.
However, the dream had necessitated changes to her plans. She had to fight for Lin Lin now or else her dream would come true and he would die following her death.
She had to change the childâs destiny while she was still alive.
However, Xi Family was a giant roadblock that stood in her way.
She couldnât use her death as an argument either because she had no idea when she would die, but most importantly, how could Xi Family be willing to hand Lin Lin over to a dying woman.
It was like Mubai said. She could visit Lin Lin any time she wanted but not take him away.
âWhat if I appeal to the courtsâŠâ Xinghe began but was again cut off by Mubai.
âYou have less of a chance that way.â
âTherefore, no matter what, you will not give me Lin Linâs custody?â Xinghe asked apathetically.
Mubai nodded firmly.
Even if, somehow, she could persuade him to hand Lin Lin over, his parents wouldnât allow it, no one in the Xi Family would agree to it.
Xinghe was definitely no match for the entire Xi Family.
Xinghe knew there is no point continuing the conversation.
She stood up and said, â1 will not give up on my son.â
Then, she turned to leave. Mubai sat in his chair, staring at her back emotionlessly.
Xinghe left for home after leaving the cafe.
Xia Zhiâs schedule was wide open now that theyâve dealt with Chui Ming, Wushuang, and Wu Rong, so his schedule consisted of mostly watching television and playing games.
When Xinghe returned, he was playing a console game, surrounded by a plethora of snacks and drinks.
He sprung up from his seated position and ran towards Xinghe when he saw her walked in. âSis, I have a fabulous piece of news to tell you! I assure you that youâll be happy to hear this!â
âWhat fabulous news?â Xinghe asked with a straight face, not at all intrigued by Xia Zhiâs proclamation.
Xia Zhi cheered, âThe police just called. The inheritance is now all yours! There is one billion in cash and several hundred million in real estate! They are all yours! Sis, youâre a billionaire now!â
Chengwenâs original estate wasnât worth that much but Wu Rong was a business minded person. She had accrued and increased the Xia Familyâs fortune over the years. Now, it all belonged to Xinghe.
She had no choice, it was loss compensation.
Xia Zhi thought Xinghe would show at least some semblance of joy knowing one billion would soon enter her accounts, but her face was stone cold..
