Standing Next To You-Chapter 225: Is she yours?

Li Mei comforted her daughter, "This is nothing to fuss about. In this situation, there are other things you can do to gain more fame and reputation."

Lin Sunji looked at her mother with hope, "There is a way? I want everything about Bei Sangyun to be forgotten!"

Li Mei taught her daughter how to handle things, such as buying the top search, and making her the talk of everyone online. With money, it could be handled easily.

Lin Sunji liked the idea. Then she remembered something, and her face turned ugly. "Mom, why didn’t you tell me about the ’Tears of Mermaid’? If we had bought that instead of Uncle Ginxian, I would have won the Queen of the Night!"

Lin Sunji was still upset that she didn’t win the title. freeweɓnøvel.com

She prepared so much and had the best partner, but the sudden transformation of Fei Chuan and the existence of the ’Tears of Mermaid’ took the title away from her.

Li Mei frowned. She, too, was unaware of the auction for the Tears of Mermaid. In fact, only a few madams knew about it, and those madams were either the heads of prominent families or the wives of such heads.

Li Mei was a daughter-in-law married into the Lin family. She lacked the ability to learn about the Tears of Mermaid in advance. She was as surprised as the others.

But Lin Ginxian’s connection wasn’t that great either even though he was the third son of Old Master Lin.

So how did Lin Ginxian manage to obtain information beforehand and purchase the six-million-dollar earrings for an illegitimate daughter? All of this was incomprehensible.

Despite her doubts, she comforted Lin Sunji, "I will make sure to pay attention next time. But right now, you can’t be too outstanding, especially after what happened with your grandfather."

It’s a pity that Lin Sunji’s debut was overshadowed by Bei Sangyun and the ’Tears of Mermaid,’ but they could create another chance next time. For now, their branch had to keep a low profile.

Li Mei glanced at the television and saw the video of Bei Sangyun wearing the Tears of Mermaid. She narrowed her eyes. She had to tell her husband to reinvestigate Lin Ginxian again.

*****

Fei Chuan was awakened by a phone call. He groggily opened one eye, struggling to get up to answer the phone. After seeing the caller’s name on the screen, Fei Chuan begrudgingly sat up and answered the call.

"What took you so long?" An impatient voice sounded. The speaker on the other side spoke in a foreign language, "Zero, I gave you everything you requested. I let you borrow my white phantom and helped you acquire those earrings. It’s your turn to help me."

Fei Chuan glanced at the time and saw that it was already past lunch. He had only been able to sleep when the sun rose, so it was no wonder he woke up late.

"I’ve already finished your task. I’m just waiting for a good timing to release it." Fei Chuan yawned as he replied.

Given his reputation in the industry, he could cancel this task at any time or adopt an attitude against his client, as some other hackers might do. However, since this person was a VVIP who had helped him recently, Fei Chuan had to be patient. Besides, this person provided generous payment for each task.

"When is the good timing then? I don’t want to see that man’s smug face anymore."

Fei Chuan stood up and opened his laptop. After checking some information on his computer, he gave out a date.

Finally, the speaker calmed down, saying, "That man only has a few days to enjoy his happy days. Alright, I will wait for the good news then. I can let you borrow my white phantom for a few days."

Fei Chuan’s lips twitched. What did he mean by "borrow"? He dug up his savings just to rent it for a day. "I am returning it. Anyway, if the company that auctioned the earrings contacted you about transferring the buyer’s name to someone named Bei Sangyun, just agree." Fei Chuan did not forget to remind him.

"It’s already been done. That person Bei Sangyun negotiated with me." The speaker seemed to remember something and laughed. "She has quite an attitude. I like her."

Fei Chuan’s gaze suddenly turned sharp, and his sleepiness vanished immediately. Knowing his client’s behavior and attitude, there was a big chance this VVIP client of his might become interested in Bei Sangyun. After all, Bei Sangyun had a way of attracting all kinds of weirdos.

He lowered his voice, "Don’t dare mess with her."

The speaker heard the warning in his voice and laughed even more, "Why? Is she yours?"

Fei Chuan did not reply. But the atmosphere around him turned frigid and cold. If the speaker were in front of him right now, he would know that Fei Chuan was angry at this moment.

Hearing no response from him, the speaker finally broke the silence, saying, "I am just kidding. I don’t touch kids. Besides, she seems tough and feisty. If I touch her, I am just inviting disaster. Especially when she seems important to you, Zero. I don’t want to be the enemy of the genius hacker."

The ice around Fei Chuan finally melted. If this VVIP client suddenly got interested in Bei Sangyun and started pursuing her for fun, given the man’s status and background, it would be difficult to stop him as he did with Richard.

"Since we’re done talking, I’ll end the call." Fei Chuan said blatantly.

"That’s all? You’re really cold, Zero—"

Toot. Toot. Toot.

Fei Chuan ended the call abruptly. As soon as he exited the call, he saw the face that had been bothering him the entire night.

This was the person who always sent his mind into disarray and made him feel all kinds of strange emotions and feelings. The source of his insecurity, doubt, and unease.

Fei Chuan: "...."

The bold confession and the soft kiss lingered in his mind once again.

Fei Chuan squinted his eyes and tapped the screen of his phone angrily, as if poking those cheeks.

"Please give my mind a rest, will you?"
