Standing Next To You-Chapter 376: Leaving the Fei mansion

Fei Ling wanted to cry. Why did he have to give a statement too? Blame that b*tch Fei Mengqi for dragging him into this!

He swallowed nervously. With a trembling voice, he spoke, "...what cousin Fei Mengqi said is true."

With that scary woman around, he couldn’t mention that Fei Chuan had threatened them or reveal the involvement of the Third Chief.

Everyone gasped at the shocking revelation. They murmured and glanced at Fei Yi Lang’s dumbfounded expression. Although they spoke in hushed tones, their eyes revealed their thoughts.

Fei Min was indeed bullying his own cousin! Fei Yi Ling and Head Master Fei were covering up the truth. Everything the young lady said was accurate.

Head Master Fei’s expression darkened.

His grandchildren, who were supposed to protect the family name, went against them. There had to be something they couldn’t disclose. He glanced at Bei Sangyun.

She must be the reason.

"T-they...they are lying! There’s no way Fei Min would do that!" Fei Yi Lang glared at the traitors, "Y-you...you were threatened by them, weren’t you?!"

Fei Ling lowered his head. He did not dare to meet his eyes. He wanted to say that Fei Chuan was a bastard who hid too well and had everyone’s secrets. But with Bei Sangyun watching him like a hawk, he couldn’t say a word.

And besides, Fei Mengqi beside him was pinching him, not allowing him to speak more at this moment.

"...Uncle, I know it must be hard for you too. But Fei Min is really violent when it comes to Fei Chuan. This isn’t your fault. Fei Min hid this side of him. He is not like big brother Fei Huan Jiang," Fei Mengqi added.

Since the cat was already out of the bag, she should at least try to push Fei Min further down, to at least save herself.

Her uncle should know what to do when it comes to choosing between Fei Huan Jiang and Fei Min.

The only way out of this was to abandon Fei Min. Let him be the scapegoat of this scandal. Then, she would be safe too.

Fei Yi Lang’s eyes widened. "You dare...!"

Fei Mengqi flinched. She tried to hide behind Fei Yuxuang.

"It seems that you are the one who is threatening your niece and nephew into spouting out lies," Bei Sangyun interjected. She smiled, "I can’t say your niece is entirely right, though. With a father like you, who covers up the truth, I wonder if your other son is any different from Fei Min. After all, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree."

Fei Hua Jiang was Fei Yi Lang’s inverse scale. He was his greatest pride and someone who was meant to lead the Fei family into the future. How could Fei Yi Lang allow anyone to drag his eldest son’s name into the mud?

"Leave Fei Hua Jiang out of it! My son is not like Fei Min!" Fei Yi Lang’s thunderous voice echoed throughout the place.

For a moment, silence hung in the air.

Head Master Fei’s face sank. This fool...

Fei Yi Lang’s eyes widened. The words had already come out before he became aware of their hidden meaning.

"It seems you’re aware of it yourself, Mr. Fei Yi Lang," Bei Sangyun said, breaking the silence with a sarcastic smile.

"...T-that’s not what I meant..."

However, he was already caught by his own words. None of the guests was foolish enough to believe his excuses.

"The Fei family has opened my eyes today. Head Master Fei, I hope you understand why I am taking my friend from here. I hope you won’t give us trouble if you have any shame left for your youngest grandson."

She looked at every member of the Fei family that was present.

"This is not the first time Fei Chuan has been abused by this family, but it will be the last. I won’t allow any of you to harm him again. If you missed him a bit, come find me then."

Bei Sangyun stepped out, but Head Master Fei’s solemn voice sounded behind her.

"You still can’t leave, young lady."

Bei Sangyun’s steps halted. She frowned. This old man was stubborn. Did she really have to use force to leave this place?

Head Master Fei stepped forward. Although his face was stinging due to the shame Fei Yi Lang and his son brought, he still faced Bei Sangyun and the crowd calmly.

"I admit that it is due to my neglect that this happened. Fei Chuan is my youngest grandson, he is my responsibility. Since this is a family matter, I will handle it. You, an outsider, brought this to light, so I can’t ignore your involvement in this. You and Fei Chuan should stay here so we can handle the rest of the matter.

"If this is truly only the work of Fei Min, I will give out an appropriate punishment. However, I will still continue my investigation and I need your cooperation. I need to know if the Lin family has nothing to do with this."

Bei Sangyun snickered at Head Master Fei’s ’righteous’ words.

In the end, Head Master Fei still insisted on the Lin family’s involvement, just so he could at least salvage what remaining face the Fei family had tonight.

"As I said, this is the work of your grandson. The truth is already in front of you, why do you keep insisting on making up a lie?"

Head Master Fei took a deep breath. "Dear guests, the show is over. Please follow the escorts outside. Guards, bring her in. She held my grandson somewhere; I can’t just let her leave."

Head Master Fei turned around. His patience had already run out. It was too shameful to admit it, but he indeed fell into this young lady’s trap.

Not a moment ago, while Fei Yi Lang was questioning the children, Butler Zhao came to his side and reported that Fei Chuan’s place was empty.

It seemed this young lady was buying time so that Fei Chuan could leave safely.

But why leave so suddenly? Even bringing his own maid and driver. Does Fei Chuan not want to return ever again to the mansion?

With this reason, Head Master Fei cannot just let Bei Sangyun leave.

The guests, even though they wanted to stay and see the show until the end, had been politely pushed out by the staff. They were a bit annoyed, but they couldn’t voice their dissatisfaction.

When they glanced back for one last look, they saw the young lady being surrounded by a large number of security guards. The four butlers at her side now looked meager and useless.

They shook their heads as they left the Fei family premises.

Even though that young lady had proven Fei Min’s vicious nature to everyone and had slapped the Fei family in the face, it seemed that she wouldn’t be able to leave the house safely.

What a pity.

So many exciting things had happened tonight. They wondered what kind of news would spread tomorrow.

The ruined party of the esteemed son of the Fei family? Fei Min being a great bully?

Whatever it was, it would be a great scandal for the Fei family that might last for a long time.

They might also hear some news regarding the Lin family as well. The young lady of the Lin family was confined by the Fei family.

Could this signal the start of real animosity between the two families?

They could hardly wait for tomorrow.
