Standing Next To You-Chapter 364: Fei Hua Jang

Fei Yuxuan shook his head. "I haven’t heard of Henry in the James family."

Fei Min scoffed. "Of course, you wouldn’t know. How could you know someone like him?"

Fei Yuxuan did not respond to his offensive remark and let him talk.

Fei Min continued, "Henry is not in the main family. He is a distant relative."

His cousins paused and looked at each other with a knowing look.

So this Henry wasn’t an important figure in the James family at all.

"But he is close with Kenneth. You know him, right?"

Fei Ling nodded. "Yeah, he is the first cousin of William James, the heir of the James family. I heard the two are like two peas in a pod."

Fei Min patted his shoulder. "You’ve done your research. That’s right. Henry is just a stepping stone for me. Thanks to him, I managed to snatch an invitation to a party that Kenneth is hosting. Since Kenneth is the host, there is a big possibility that William will appear."

Fei Min flattered Henry like a dog. He endured a lot of humiliation just to get into their circle. Once he successfully got into Kenneth and William’s circle, he would discard that good-for-nothing guy.

He had been through a lot just for a single invitation. He even considered siding with the rival family of the James—the Henson family—if he hadn’t seen any hope.

But now, with this invitation, his dream of befriending the James family was within his reach.

"Well, if that’s the case, congrats to you then," Fei Mengqi, who had remained silent from the beginning, spoke. She wasn’t much concerned with politics.

"But my dear Fei Min, while you were away working so hard for this family, someone has been let loose and having the time of his life." Fei Mengqi pointed at Fei Ling. "Hey, you, tell Fei Min what you heard."

Fei Ling hesitated, showing a troubled expression. "But not here. This is a private matter, after all."

Fei Min was already scowling at the mention of ’someone being let loose.’ He snapped at Fei Ling, "Stop pretending. Tell me, what did that bastard do this time?!"

As if he was being forced, Fei Ling told him what he had told the others earlier.

"...It must be because he got a girlfriend that he suddenly cut his hair and changed his demeanor. I understand that people our age tend to be impulsive sometimes. But he hasn’t been discreet about his relationship and flaunts it shamelessly with that wild child from the Lin family. I’m afraid, the way he is acting, he will degrade our family’s name—"

Bang!

Fei Min’s wine glass shattered on the ground, abruptly disrupting the lively atmosphere.

Everyone paused and turned in Fei Min’s direction.

Fei Min was hot-headed to begin with. Now that he was in his country and at his own home, he did not suppress his temper. Still, it was his big brother’s party, so he restrained in throwing a fit right now.

"...That bastard!" He gritted his teeth in anger. "How dare he act so boldly. Does he want to die?!"

"Calm down, Fei Min. You can’t be angry here. After all, Fei Chuan isn’t here either," Fei Ling tried to calm him down, but his words only fueled Fei Min’s rage.

"He isn’t here when everyone gathered for big brother’s welcome party?! He really wants to die! How dare he taint our family’s name and disrespect big brother?!"

He stomped angrily and headed to the direction of Fei Chuan’s place, ready to unleash his anger.

Fei Ling followed with a worried expression, trying to ’stop’ him, while Fei Mengqi laughed with interest and followed suit. Fei Yuxuan glanced at Fei Ling’s back with a knowing look, then shook his head. Like the others, he also followed them.

...

Fei Min’s sudden outrage made the lively atmosphere stagnate a little. freewebnσvel.cøm

Fei Hua Jiang glanced in their direction with a deep gaze. He then turned to everyone and laughed off the incident, saying his brother had just gotten a bit tipsy and accidentally broken the glass. The others knew not to dwell too deeply on it and laughed it off as well.

With the orchestra playing again, the lively atmosphere returned.

Fei Hua Jiang excused himself from the crowd and approached his father.

"What’s going on with Fei Min? Where did he go?"

"The butler said something about going to Fei Chuan’s place to teach him a lesson." Fei Hua Jiang’s father was busy socializing with his business partners. For him, this was a children’s matter and he should not interfere as long as it did not hurt his sons’ reputation.

Fei Hua Jiang frowned. "Fei Min always loses control of his temper whenever he is around Fei Chuan. You should have stopped him."

If it was another day, Fei Hua Jiang wouldn’t care whatever Fei Min did to bully Fei Chuan. But today was his party, marking his entry into society as a mature adult. This day should be perfect.

He couldn’t let any incident happen today.

"That child’s place is a bit far from here. Whatever happens there shouldn’t affect the party here. And don’t worry, I’ve sent Butler Jang there. If things get too noisy, he will handle the matter."

Fei Hua Jang was advised to relax and enjoy the party. Unlike his younger brother, who was still inexperienced, he knew that Fei Chuan was only putting a weak act.

That terrible kid was frightening. And he wouldn’t change so easily. Even to this day, Fei Hua Jang felt a bit uneasy around that little kid.

"...I’ll send my butler just to make sure there won’t be any incidents today."

Fei Hua Jang had done just that. He was still somewhat uneasy and had considered sending security to Fei Chuan’s place. However, sending too many people might attract his grandfather’s attention. They couldn’t risk losing grandfather’s trust over a simple matter.

Despite his unease, he continued socializing with potential business partners.

However, he soon began to regret his decision.

When he saw a woman dragging his younger brother to the party, with disheveled hair and causing a scene amid the shocked guests, Fei Hua Jang almost fainted.

He should have taken the risk and sent security after all!
