Standing Next To You-Chapter 173: Head Master Fei

Fei Chuan nodded. "I understand. But I won’t go home for now. Please tell him I’ll return two days later."

Butler Zhao’s gaze turned to Fei Chuan’s face. He glimpsed at the visible markings on his face and understood, "I’ll relay your message to the Patriarch."

Butler Zhao left, and Fei Chuan closed the door.

Bei Sangyun asked him with slight concern in her eyes, "Is it fine for you to return?"

"I have no choice but to go back." He glanced at the table, "If you are done eating, you can leave."

Bei Sangyun rolled up her sleeves, "I will leave after I wash the dishes."

Fei Chuan: "...."

This person did not look like she had been though a major incident. Was her mentality too strong or she was just insane?

....

The car arrived at the main building of the Fei mansion. Butler Zhao exited from the car and was greeted by his son.

"Is Head Master still in his study?"

"Yes, father. He is waiting for you." His son, Butler Zhao Ginghe, looked behind him. "The Young Master did not come with you?"

"He will return soon. Anyway, I’ll report to Master first."

Zhao Ginghe looked at his father’s back in wonder.

Butler Zhao arrived in front of the study room and softly knocked. The door opened, and his wife appeared behind the door.

Like his son, his wife looked behind him. "Did you not bring the Young Master with you?"

Butler Zhao sighed. "You’ll hear about it once I report it to Head Master." He glanced at the tray that his wife was holding. "Did he ask for another tea?"

"Don’t worry. It is a herbal tea I personally made. It is good for Head Master’s health." Butler Zhao’s wife was knowledgeable in traditional medicine and had a wide experience when it comes to the concoction of herbal drinks.

"Just don’t make a lot. You know he can’t handle much liquids."

"I know. I know. But he will be happier if you bring the young master with you."

Butler Zhao agreed internally and walked inside the study room.

This was the study room of the patriarch of the family that was passed down through generations. Only the head of the family used this room. Rows of books reaching the ceiling were on display. As he continued to walk deeper inside, valuable books, ancient paintings, and sculptures worth millions were found in every corner.

Butler Zhao bowed in front of an old man who was sitting behind the desk. He directly gave his report.

"Head Master, I have found the Young Master. But I have failed to bring him in."

Head Master Fei, Fei Yangguang, was holding a teacup and was relaxing on his chair. But when he heard the report, his relaxed brow furrowed. "He dared to defy my order?"

"Young Master asked for two more days."

"What has he been up to that he needs to stay outside?" Head Master Fei wondered while shaking his head, "About those videos, have you investigated it?"

"Yes. The videos from before are indeed from the bullying that the young master suffered in that school. I can’t find the rest of the videos since the original has been deleted from the forum. According to the investigation, the bullying had stopped. But when I found him earlier, he had a bruise on his face."

"My grandson was beaten by someone? Who dared?" Head Master Fei put down his teacup and glared. The gentle old man suddenly exuded a terrifying aura.

"I have the men investigate it on my way returning home. They found out it was from a guest of the Lin family."

Lin family?

Head Master Fei’s eyes squinted. "Is it the same person? The illegitimate daughter of the Lin family?"

When he caught his grandchildren watching that video, Head Master Fei ordered Butler Zhou to gather some of the videos. Like what he had watched that day, his youngest grandson was in the videos- being laughed at and bullied.

The sight of his gloomy and cowardly appearance being mocked by the crowd made Head Master Fei furious.

He did not have such a cowardly grandson!

But aside from being angry, he was also worried about him. The youngest had the most fragile body. He overcame the massive milestone in his life and survived until this day. He could not let his grandson continue to live his life in humiliation.

"From what we gathered, it is somehow related to her," Butler Zhao replied.

Head Master Fei’s gaze darkened, "A lowborn insulted my grandson? It seemed that the Lin family wants to stop climbing up the ranks."

From Head Master Fei’s grave tone, Butler Zhao could tell that he was really angry and was ready to vent this anger on the Lin family—the illegitimate daughter.

However...

Butler Zhao remembered the pair of black women’s shoes on the floor of the Young Master’s place. The young master only opened a few gaps and did not offer to let him in. It was obvious that the reason was the owner of those shoes. He he had a visitor at his place.

Based on the current information he gathered, Butler Zhao wasn’t entirely sure of the relationship between the illegitimate daughter from the Lin family and the Young Master. According to past rumors, their relationship was bad, but the recent rumors and photos his men gathered said otherwise.

"Head Master," Butler Zhao hesitantly spoke, "I think this matter is not as simple as it seems."

"What do you mean?"

"That Young Miss... I think she has a peculiar relationship with the young master. My information is still lacking, and perhaps I might have missed some details. Please give me more time to investigate this matter."

Head Master Fei glanced at him deeply, "You must have your own reason for saying that. Fine. I’ll trust you. But the person who hurt my grandson should pay the price."

"It is the heir of the Simon family from Country F."

Head Master Fei did not care who it was. As his youngest grandchild, he gave a lot more importance to Fei Chuan. Although he did not show it for the sake of his other grandchildren, he was more lenient with Fei Chuan.

After all, that grandson of his was very talented and had great potential. If not for his weak body and short life, he should have been the chosen heir from the start.

"Head Master, I understand you want to take revenge for the sake of the Young Master, but this is the Simon family. Although their connections in our country are not deep, they are still a great force to be reckoned with. Our overseas company will suffer some damage if we take them head-on."

"Then should I back out? It’s not in our family’s nature to just back down. We should repay grudges tenfold."

Butler Zhao understood the head master’s feelings. But he still reminded him, "Head Master, if you take revenge for the sake of the young master and the company suffers a blow because of it, the other masters won’t let this go. All unwanted attention will be on the youngest young master, and he might suffer because of it. They might think that since you are paying him attention, you are considering him as his heir. Then the young master’s life won’t be as peaceful as it is now."

Butler Zhao gave his sincere advice.
