Standing Next To You-Chapter 387: Then remove my name

"Lin Sangyun!"

"You!"

Their voices rang out in unison. Fei Jian stood up abruptly while Old Master Lin’s temples throbbed.

Three intense glares were fixed on Bei Sangyun. The atmosphere grew tense with her sudden appearance.

"Looks like I am not welcome. Well, it doesn’t matter." Bei Sangyun invited herself in and sat on one of the couches. She gestured to Butler Yang, "Bring me a drink and some pastries."

She needed a lot of energy to confront these exhausting men.

Her calm and languid expression caused the people in the room to have varying expressions on their faces.

"Ha. After everything you’ve done, you still have the nerve to eat and drink? Have you truly lost your conscience?" Lin Baozhi couldn’t help but criticize Bei Sangyun’s blatant attitude.

"What else should I do? Starve myself in my room?"

"You insolent brat! You cause trouble wherever you go, and you still have the audacity to act so arrogant!"

"Why are you so angry? You’re not the one who has to clean up the mess."

Bei Sangyun’s casual response left Lin Baozhi stunned and speechless.

He had never encountered anyone as audaciously rude as her!

Old Master Lin felt another headache coming.

Although he had witnessed Bei Sangyun’s eccentricity a few times, he still couldn’t wrap his head around why she appeared here.

She should have stayed hidden to buy him time for investigation and to devise a better strategy. Her appearance now forced him to make a decision immediately.

Since it has come to this, he had no choice but to leave the matter to her. Since she had created this mess, she must have a plan to resolve it. freewebnoveℓ.com

"Lin Sangyun, are you aware that what you did at the Fei banquet yesterday has already spread? Look to your left; a representative from the Fei family has come for you," Old Master Lin spoke weakly.

Bei Sangyun followed his direction and met Fei Jian’s fierce gaze. "Oh. Hi there."

Fei Jian: "...."

Old Master Lin and the others: "...."

The arrival of the drink and pastries snapped them out of their daze.

"So, your name is Lin Sangyun. You may not recognize me, but I was at the banquet yesterday. I am Fei Chuan’s father. You took my son away, and the family has been very worried about him. Please return him home," Fei Jian said solemnly.

Bei Sangyun tilted her head. "But Fei Chuan said he doesn’t have a father. Ah, I think the exact words were ’his father is as good as dead.’ But you are alive and well. How come you allow Fei Min to bully your son when you guys are under one roof?"

A sharp intake of breath came from the bystanders.

Fei Jian’s face turned ugly.

"I am aware of my shortcomings as a father. But you are in no position to speak to me like that. If I should hear such words, it should come from my son."

"Ah, so you still consider Fei Chuan your son. Did you only realize this yesterday, or is it today?"

Bei Sangyun’s taunting had clearly struck a nerve. Her blatant ridicule was too much for Fei Jian to endure.

Fei Jian snapped.

"Yesterday’s event must have gone to your head. Just because we spared you last night doesn’t mean you can continue to be rude to us. I am the representative the Fei family sent to settle matters with you. It will not do you any good if you keep acting arrogant."

Old Master Lin and his three sons thought: This brat has always been rude, not just to you, but to everyone.

"I have already asked your Headmaster for your cooperation, and he agreed. You will come with me today." Fei Jian added.

Bei Sangyun glanced toward Old Master Lin with her eyebrow raised, as if confirming if Fei Jian was telling the truth.

Old Master Lin’s heart jumped. He defended himself, "I told him you weren’t here, but you showed up..." He wanted to say, ’I tried my best to stall for time, but you showed up and ruined everything’.

Bei Sangyun did not expect much from Old Master Lin. She let out a smile. "If you want my cooperation, the person you should be asking is me."

Fei Jian was stunned. "Will you cooperate?"

"No."

Fei Jian and the others: "...."

Bei Sangyun drank from the cup before smiling again. "Didn’t I say it yesterday? If you want to take it to court, let’s do so. My lawyer and my representative are on their way to your house."

She glanced at her wristwatch. "They might be at your house right now. If you have something to ask, ask me in court then."

Everyone was taken aback.

"You filed a lawsuit?!" Her three uncles asked in shock.

Bei Sangyun nodded calmly. "I did. It is better to involve the law since a ’crime’ is involved, right?"

"You—! Do you know what you have done?!" Lin Baozhi asked dumbfoundedly.

Old Master Lin also frowned. Involving the police and the law would only make it harder for Bei Sangyun. After all, she was the one who invaded their privacy and kidnapped someone.

But what was more worrying was if the authorities were involved, it would be bad for both sides.

Both the Fei and Lin families would undoubtedly suffer damage regardless of who won the case. Each side would do everything in their power to win, and in the process, they would drag each other down, causing huge damage to each other.

"Are you afraid? You don’t have to be scared. You are not the one who is fighting them," Bei Sangyun replied calmly, even taking the leisure to finish her drink.

"If you take this to court, you’ll make a huge joke of all of us! Not only will you drag down the family’s reputation, but this will also be a weakness that our enemies might exploit. If the family is pulled down because of you, how will you take responsibility?" Lin Baozhi and the others tried to reason with her.

It would be one thing if Bei Sangyun were the only one implicated. However, since this was a court matter, it would affect both families. They would be dragged down along with Bei Sangyun!

"Then just take my name off the family’s register."

The three paused, their eyes lit up.

"No." Old Master Lin suddenly spoke up. He glanced at Bei Sangyun. "This is not enough reason to remove your name from the family tree. Since you want to bring this to court, then do so. I trust that you have a plan to handle this. But..."

Old Master Lin’s face turned solemn. "If your actions only result in damaging the family name and causing me to lose face in this trial, then I will strip you of your status and remove your name from the family’s genealogy."

Bei Sangyun met his gaze and tsked. This old man was truly cunning. He had seen through her intention.

There was no way she was going to lose this case since it was related to Fei Chuan. Too bad she couldn’t use this opportunity to erase her name from the Lin family.

She turned to the stunned Fei Jian. "You heard him. He refuses to hand me over. You can get lost now."
