Chapter 1339: Big Brother Xu
Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339: Big Brother Xu
Yet, as the person involved, Su Qing was surprisingly able to contain her anger.
“I am Xu Junfeng’s big brother, my name is Xu Xiyi.” A man’s low chuckle came through the phone, not loud but penetrating, as if each syllable struck directly on the eardrum.
Caught off guard, Su Qing responded, “Hello, Xu…”
“Just call me Big Brother Xu,” Xu Xiyi interrupted her.
Su Qing paused for a second but didn’t overthink it and politely corrected herself, “Big Brother Xu.” Why isn’t he calling for Xu Junfeng?
Even Fang Shuai, who was waiting nearby for news, was full of curiosity.
“Do you need Junfeng for something? Maybe you can tell me,” Xu Xiyi glanced out the window at his younger brother playing foolishly with the dog in their yard, smiling as he spoke, “Or I can pass the message for you.”
“Is Xu Junfeng not at home?”
“Yes!” Xu Xiyi said with a tone full of regret.

Su Qing was cut off mid-sentence by Xu Xiyi’s polite yet firm interruption, “That would waste too much time, Junfeng has gone to visit relatives, and it looks like he will be staying at their place for more than half a month! You just called me Big Brother Xu, why so distant all of a sudden? Were you deceiving me just now?”
By the end, his tone had changed as though Su Qing had truly deceived him.
Su Qing was somewhat bemused, but she was not one to dilly-dally. Although the charlatan Zhou Hengguang made her more cautious around strangers, it was not enough to make her timid.
“No, it really isn’t a big deal actually.”
“You called me Big Brother Xu, whatever the issue, be it big or small, you can tell me,” Xu Xiyi was uncharacteristically a bit excited, already planning to share this good news with Jin Yan after the call, to make him envious of himself and to show that he was more helpful than that scoundrel Zhou Hengguang.
Xu Xiyi already had a guess as to why Su Qing was calling.
Su Qing shook her head with a smile and went straight to the point.
“Leave such a trivial matter to me, just give me your phone number. Once it’s sorted, I’ll get back to you. There’s no need to involve Junfeng. The lad is too young, impetuous, and unreliable. I’ll take care of it for you myself, and guarantee to have an answer for you by tomorrow at the latest.”
Xu Xiyi not only took on the task but also, to ensure Su Qing did not change her mind, slyly disparaged his own younger brother.
Su Qing provided her office and home phone numbers, and as soon as Xu Xiyi confirmed he had noted them down, she immediately thanked him, “Then, thank you.”
“No need for thanks. When you come to the Capital, remember to tell me. You called me Big Brother Xu, so don’t be a stranger. Give me the chance to be a good host and treat you,” Xu Xiyi smoothly set up a future meeting with skill.
“Alright, but it should be me treating you, not the other way around,” Su Qing was no longer the naive little girl from Trinity Village unaware of the world and had a different perspective on interpersonal communication and relations.
Getting to know Xu Xiyi could be a great help to her future career.
When the studio first collaborated with Xu Junfeng, her brother-in-law mentioned that Xu Junfeng had an elder brother, the future pillar of the Xu family—the well-known young talent in the Capital. Because he was often abroad due to work, it was difficult for ordinary people to meet him.
Knowing one more friend meant one more path to explore, and she naturally did not want to narrow her own roads. Getting to know Xu Xiyi could make her future path wider and easier to navigate.
