Standing Next To You-Chapter 158: You Belong to the Trash

A/n: This Chapter is now fixed. Thank you for waiting.

.....

The arrival of the two made the entire classroom fall into silence. However, compared to the gazes they received in the past, these stares were more piercing.

Fei Chuan and Bei Sangyun were unfazed. Finally, Lin Sunji’s friend, Wang Jia, couldn’t take it any longer.

Lin Sunji hadn’t arrived yet, and the sight of these two ignited the anger and hatred she felt toward Bei Sangyun. She exclaimed loudly, "How can someone be so shameless and pretend to be noble when she is, in fact, just an illegitimate bastard child?"

Her voice echoed in the silent room, leaving her classmates in shock.

Wang Jia’s friends were terrified, tugging at her shirt and whispering, "Wang Jia, what are you doing?"

How could Wang Jia be so bold to speak like that when the tyrant was around?

"Why? Am I saying something wrong? Doesn’t everyone agree that you all felt deceived? I am too! I can’t believe I let some bastard girl run around like a princess in this school when her status and origin can’t even compare to everyone else’s! Aren’t you angry?"

Wang Jia’s friends turned pale, glancing at Bei Sangyun’s area. Wang Jia’s words might anger the tyrant.

Although Bei Sangyun’s origin had been exposed, it was still difficult to erase the fear she instilled in these students’ hearts. Even though they agreed with Wang Jia, they couldn’t be as bold as her to say it loudly while the tyrant was around. They were still afraid of becoming the tyrant’s target.

Fortunately, Bei Sangyun did not show much reaction, as if she were just hearing flies.

Wang Jia also observed her reaction. Seeing Bei Sangyun’s unfazed attitude fueled her anger even more.

"Look at her, how shameless. She doesn’t deserve to be the top ranking in school or to be in this star class. Compared to Lin Sunji, the true princess of the Lin family, she is just a counterfeit product."

Her friends and classmates gasped in awe.

Goodness. No one had been this bold and mocked the tyrant publicly.

Were they about to witness the usurpation of the tyrant’s throne? Although they were unsure which side to join, they were still afraid of offending Bei Sangyun.

They all subtly glanced at Bei Sangyun’s area, waiting for her to erupt in anger. But Bei Sangyun remained unconcerned.

Wang Jia felt more courageous after saying a few words. Bei Sangyun did not even dare to retaliate. Hah! The tyrant was just a paper tiger!

Her courage surged. She narrowed her eyes and continued, "No wonder she sticks to Fei Chuan. Because both of them are trashes in their family."

Bei Sangyun, who was checking Butler Xin’s email on her phone, paused.

"Didn’t you find it strange before? Why did she target Fei Chuan at the start? Now it makes sense. It’s because he reminded her of her own dirty status. Now she finds camaraderie with him. A trash picking up trashes—"

Bei Sangyun suddenly stood up, and her chair made a loud screeching sound across the floor.

This made everyone hold their breath. Wang Jia, who was prattling, also subconsciously paused.

Fei Chuan, on the side, who planned to remain quiet throughout, glanced at Bei Sangyun. Seeing her expression, his heart tightened.

She wouldn’t kill a person, right?

The look in Bei Sangyun’s eyes was calm but dark. If one looked closely, they would see the turbulence in those deep pools that made people shudder.

Bei Sangyun walked calmly to Wang Jia’s side.

Everyone watched her with bated breath. Wang Jia became on guard, "What? Are you offended? All I said are truths."

Bei Sangyun just glanced at her and bypassed her, then she walked out of the room.

Everyone: "...."

The tense atmosphere suddenly became filled with murmurs.

What? That’s all?

They thought the tyrant was going to ’discipline’ Wang Jia. But she did not retaliate and walked out instead?

Wang Jia inwardly let out a sigh of relief. For a moment, Bei Sangyun’s oppressing aura had choked her. Especially in that one quick glance- Wang Jia felt as if she was shrouded with ice.

Bei Sangyun had a calm face, but that cold look could make people shudder.

Wang Jia smiled, "See? She is just a paper tiger. The Lin family did not fully support her. She is just using the Lin family so that we will be afraid of her. Now that the truth is exposed, she can’t act freely like she did before. Compared to Lin Sunji, she is nothing!"

On the farthest row, Fei Chuan raised his brow. Knowing Bei Sangyun, she would not just let this go.

At this moment, the door opened again, and Bei Sangyun appeared.

Everyone’s eyes turned toward the door, and silence fell.

Even Wang Jia, who was happy earlier, immediately raised her guard. She couldn’t help it. Bei Sangyun’s image as the tyrant had been embedded in their hearts.

Bei Sangyun entered the room, dragging a... container?

Everyone grew curious.

Expressionless, Bei Sangyun walked to Wang Jia’s chair and without a word, she carried the container and threw its contents at Wang Jia.

"Gyahh!" Wang Jia’s screams pierced everyone’s ears. "What the heck!"

Her friends beside her stood up, avoiding Wang Jia—or the trash that was thrown at her.

Bei Sangyun threw aside the garbage container, saying coldly, "You seem to belong to these trashes. So I just put you in your rightful place."

"You-!" Wang Jia stood up angrily. "Did you think you’ll be fine? Without the Lin family, you are nothing!"

"Then I dare you to come at me," Bei Sangyun said as she lifted up her sleeve, ready to fight.

Wang Jia gritted her teeth. Hailing from a wealthy family, she had always been shielded well and had never encountered situations where she had to use her hands to fight someone. She only knew how to mock and insult with words, but in a physical fight, she had no knowledge.

As Wang Jia pondered how to respond to Bei Sangyun, Lin Sunji arrived. Following behind her was Sophia.

Wang Jia’s eyes brightened. As if she had seen her savior. The heavens sent her help!

"Sunji!" Wang Jia ran to Lin Sunji and hugged her, aggrieved. "You must have suffered a lot at her hands. How can you endure living under the same roof with her? She is inhumane!"

Lin Sunji scrunched up her nose. Where’s that unpleasant smell coming from?

"See what she did to me! She threw garbage at me! The audacity!"

Only then did Lin Sunji manage to see the garbage on Wang Jia’s seat and the stain on her uniform.

Lin Sunji stepped back in disgust.

Yuck! The smell was coming from Wang Jia, and that girl just hugged her!

But she couldn’t show her disgust. She replied with an awkward smile, "You know how she is. There’s nothing I can’t do even if you run to me. Sangyun is still my cousin. But I will talk to her."

Wang Jia hated the iron for not being steel. Her friend Lin Sunji was really kind. If she were in Lin Sunji’s position, she would have put Bei Sangyun in her place. After all, Lin Sunji had the true noble blood while Bei Sangyun was only a half-ling.
