Even though the Xi family no longer had much prejudice towards Xinghe, she was ultimately not a Xi. Her seat at the table wasn't warranted.
Mrs. Xi smiled politely at Xinghe and said, "Xinghe, you just recovered, right? Why don't you go and rest? You need to take good care of your body."
Xinghe obviously understood what Mubai's mother was hinting at. However, before she could come to a decision, Mubai pulled her down alongside him and said with finality, "She is not an outsider. She deserves to be part of the conversation."
Lin Yun's face fell but she quickly turned it into a smile. "Mr. Xi, the things we will be discussing concern many important parties, are you sure she deserves to be here?"
"This is indeed a family business, it doesn't concern Xinghe," Grandfather Xi announced with authority. "Maids, escort Miss Xia back to her room."
"I've told her everything, so she can stay," Mubai dropped the news suddenly. This surprised even Grandfather Xi.
