I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 401

Chen Hao was also perplexed by the scene. It was all fine just now, so what happened that caused a change? It seemed like there was a conflict.

So, he looked in that direction in bewilderment.

In his sight, there was a middle-aged woman kneeling on the floor in the crowd.

On the other side, Old Master Fang’s countenance was rather gloomy, while the appendage families of the Fang Family were all burning with indignation.

“That’s her! She was once the personal maid of Fang Mengxin, the crook of the Fang Family! Quick, tell us where Fang Mengxin is. If you do, we will let you off!”

“In that year, Chen Family and Fang Family had a great fight just because of Fang Mengxin. However, those who suffered the most loss were us, the appendages of the family. I even lost my dear son who had just turned into an adult. It’s all because of Fang Mengxin. Old Master Fang, if you are hiding Fang Mengxin, please hand her over to us!”

“Yes! Hand her to us and give us an explanation!”

Many people gathered around Old Master Fang and shouted at him.

On the other side, Situ Hong sneered coldly.

Just a moment ago, there was a minor conflict.

It all happened when Fang Butong reprimanded Situ Hong in front of everyone for making unilateral decisions.

All these years, Situ Hong had been positioning himself as the head of these few families.

Furthermore, when he requested Fang Butong for some properties and for his son’s marriage in the morning, Fang Butong had embarrassed him.

Long-standing grudges had already existed.

As the saying went, ‘try peaceful means before resorting to force’. Since the peaceful means were ineffective, Situ Hong decided to risk it all today.

Therefore, he told everyone that the Fang Family had found the maid of Fang Mengxin some years ago.

Before this, Situ Hong had ordered people to monitor the Fang Family’s movement.

Besides, there were plenty of Situ Hong’s snitches in the Fang Family. Naturally, Situ Hong was informed of this matter.

What was more, he still had an ace card that he was going to hand over personally to Fang Butong.

So, let the internal conflict begin today!

Meanwhile, Fang Butong was staring at the crowd, simmering with rage.

They had been fighting secretly with each other for years.

Although the Fang Family was still large, it was just a tall building without its framework. It might appear tall and sturdy, but it was actually in imminent danger.

Fang Butong was, of course, well aware of Situ Hong and his son’s wild ambition.

However, Fang Butong thought that even though he was old now, he still had the ability to control the pair of father and son in his remaining years.

Yet, it was totally out of his expectation that this pair of father and son would launch attacks in public on his birthday banquet.

This pair of father and son was trying to intensify the conflict that was accumulated throughout the years, which had been suppressed all this while.

If it was not to mollify these few appendage families, Fang Butong would never have had the heart to sever ties with his own daughter!

“Today is my grandfather’s 80th birthday. Did you come to celebrate it with my grandfather or to denounce him?” Fang Jiannan suddenly interrupted in a cold voice.

“Jiannan, we’re most honored to celebrate your grandfather’s birthday, but our families lost numerous loved ones that year. Your grandfather once promised to offer us an explanation and compensation. It has been over two decades now, yet we still haven’t met Fang Mengxin, the culprit. Plus, the so-called explanation is just giving us some mere properties. Now, your grandfather is hiding Fang Mengxin’s maid in the Fang Family. If Mr. Situ didn’t bring it to light, we would still be kept in the dark!”

“We have been the appendages of the Fang Family for many generations. How will your actions be accepted by us, Old Master?” A middle-aged man reproached indignantly.

“Exactly. I think it’s useless to discuss this matter any further. Let’s seize this maid and interrogate her with torture. I’m sure she will spill the whereabouts of Fang Mengxin!”

“Someone, pull her up!”

The bodyguards of a few appendage families immediately tried to pull Xia while she struggled.

“That’s impudence! Do you think I don’t know that you are actually aiming for my aunt’s assets by pretending to find out her whereabouts?” Fang Jiannan shouted coldly.
