Standing Next To You-Chapter 374: Head Master Fei’s doubts

Bei Sangyun smiled, her smile was dripping with mockery.

"I originally came here to see what you would do in this situation. But I think I was hoping for too much. Since you allowed your grandchildren to torment your own kin while turning a blind eye to the suffering they caused, I should not have expected more from you.

"You want to settle this privately. But I’m afraid I can’t do that. My lawyer will visit early tomorrow morning. We shall take it to court if you want. Since this is the despicable way of the Fei family, don’t blame your grandson for leaving this house."

Head Master Fei was dumbfounded. This was the first time someone had boldly lectured him. She spoke to him fearlessly as if she truly had some way to win over this case when it reached the court.

Did she really want to face the Fei family on her own?

Based on what he had heard from the reports, her status wasn’t even favorable. So why was she so confident that she could take them on?

While he was in shock from being reprimanded by someone several generations younger than him, Bei Sangyun used the opportunity to leave. But would the people behind allow her to leave so easily?

"Stop there! I don’t know what kind of grudge the Lin family has with my son, but you will not be allowed to leave this house. If you want to leave, bring your head master!" Fei Yin Ling yelled, his fiery eyes glaring at Bei Sangyun. "I don’t care if it is the Lin family behind you. But you will receive the punishment for harming a Fei."

Head Master Fei finally recovered his calm and spoke as well.

"Young lady, I am afraid you can’t leave."

Several security staff blocked Bei Sangyun’s path. Head Master Fei’s gaze turned solemn.

"Since you want this matter to escalate, I assume you want both families to be involved. This all happened in my house. Therefore, the investigation will take place here. You, the invader who disrupted our lively gathering, will be held accountable. You can’t leave the estate until you prove that you are not guilty of harming my grandson."

The tension in the air increased. The guests who hadn’t yet moved were shocked at how the situation had progressed.

It turned out it was a quarrel between the Fei and the Lin families? What was going on?! When did the two families start having bad blood?

A crisp, sarcastic laugh broke the silence.

Bei Sangyun laughed. "You want to involve another family in your family affairs? All right. Sounds interesting. But it doesn’t change the fact that the source of all this is your grandson Fei Min. If you had just paid a bit of attention to what was happening, you could have prevented it."

Just thinking about the time Fei Chuan endured and suffered under the hands of that bastard Fei Min, without anyone on his side, made Bei Sangyun’s calmed anger flared up again.

She just wanted to cause a scene before leaving and taint Fei Min’s name as darkly as she could. If she were only several years older with sufficient influence and power, she wouldn’t need to do these things and could just directly crush the Fei family.

But right now, her priority was to put all the blame and shame on Fei Min.

"Just so you know, many people in this house are already aware of your grandson’s disgusting hobby. You can ask Fei Yuxuang, Fei Mengqi, and Fei Ling. They can tell everyone what Fei Min did."

With all the names out, the situation grew more lively.

These were the witnesses! The guests had been anticipating whether the young woman’s accusation was true. Since she dropped the names of those involved, it would be easy to confirm whether Fei Min was indeed the person she claimed.

Head Master Fei frowned.

These ’witnesses’ she referred to were his grandchildren. Since they all belonged to the Fei family, it was natural that they would side with Fei Min.

They could lie, and as witnesses, their testimonies would be accepted as the truth. So why did she drop their names when it wouldn’t work in her favor?

Head Master Fei studied Bei Sangyun.

Her gaze remained firm. She stood there as if everything was in her control. She did not give off the immature vibe he found in people her age.

He suddenly had a bad feeling about this. As he was about to suggest calling the Lin family to shift the audience’s attention to both families, Fei Yin Ling’s voice cut him off.

"Then call for them! Since you want to prove it in front of everyone, let’s do as you say. Let’s see who is lying between us!"

"Fei Yin Ling! I told you to go inside," Head Master Fei warned Fei Yin Ling.

"But father, this matter concerns my son. I can’t just stand by and do nothing. My son was greatly harmed. Since everyone wants to find out the truth, then let’s do so. I won’t let her leave until we settle this matter," Fei Yin Ling declared.

Just like Head Master Fei, he also knew his nephew and niece would side with his son. It never occurred to him that they would tell the truth to defend that outcast and this deranged woman.

This would clear his son’s involvement in bullying. This might be an opportunity to kick out that outcast Fei Chuan and trample on the Lin family’s reputation as well.

Head Master Fei’s face darkened. He knew what his son was thinking. But... still... there was something off about this.

This young woman did not seem naive enough to dig her own grave.

But well....she came here directly and dragged Fei Min to disrupt the party to vent her anger with no thought of the consequences. Like the reports said, she was aggressive and brazen. Maybe he was giving her too much credit because she was his youngest grandson’s girlfriend.

If she truly had some grand plan, she wouldn’t just come here alone--

Wait--

Alone?

Head Master Fei glanced up and saw the four butlers surrounding her protectively.

These butlers were in low positions, but to be a butler of the Fei house, they would have undergone extensive background checks and loyalty tests. Yet despite all that, spies had still infiltrated their ranks. And the spy from her was four at that—

As Head Master Fei scrutinized Bei Sangyun and his doubts continued to grow, his three grandchildren had already been brought forward.
