Chapter 857: Big Brother Comes Over
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Xia Qingxun was Xia Qinghan’s elder brother. He was 25 years old, and seven years older than her.
Due to this seven-year difference, he treated Xia Qinghan with great affection.
However, he had now taken over the Xia family business, so he was always very busy.
Although he cared for Xia Qinghan, the most he could do was to make calls and check on her. Occasionally, he would go to see her when he was in G City.
While he couldn’t see her often, he still gave Xia Qinghan pocket money.
It could be said that the three members of the Xia family were all very loving to Xia Qinghan. Even if they didn’t meet up very much, they cared for her greatly.
Today, Xia Qingxun called Xia Qinghan to check on her becoming part of the girl group.
To his surprise, the call went through just in time for him to hear Xia Qinghan’s hoa.r.s.e voice.
“Are you crying?” Xia Qingxun immediately frowned.
“No!”
Xia Qinghan’s heart jumped, and she immediately denied it.
“Don’t lie, you must have cried!” Xia Qingxun cut to the chase, as if he couldn’t hear the change in her voice. “Who bullied you?”
Xia Qinghan knew it was impossible to deny it and could only say, “Well, I did cry just now. However, no one bullied me, I just…”
“Just what?”
She said a little shyly, “I was watching a movie just now, and I was too emotional. That’s why I cried.”
Hearing her say this, Xia Qingxun persisted, “Really? You weren’t bullied?”
“Of course not!” Xia Qinghan cheered up, her voice a little nasally and a little proud. “Who am I? It’s not that easy to be bullied! Besides, I’m doing great now!”
“It’s not that girl Xia Xibei bullying you, is it?”
Xia Qingxun’s words made Xia Qinghan’s heart jump wildly and she hurriedly denied it, “Brother, you think too much! The bullying was all nonsense from the media. As you know, the media likes to make up stuff.”
She would act cute with Qiao Haoming, and she would complain to others, but she would never let the Xia family know about her and Xia Xibei, let alone let them deal with Xia Xibei.
What if they found out something? What then? She absolutely could not let them interfere.
These words couldn’t help but make Xia Qingxun nag, “I told you before that the entertainment industry is not a good place…”
“Brother…” She hurriedly pouted, “I’m already in this industry! What’s the use of you saying so much? It’d just affect my mood… Well, let’s change the topic.”
If his sister said so, what could Xia Qingxun say to that? He could only follow along and change the topic.
“I’m going to G City tomorrow.”
“You’re coming over!?”
Xia Qinghan’s voice was suddenly higher.
“What, am I not welcome?” Xia Qingxun said with a smile.
“Of course not,” Xia Qinghan hurriedly said. “It’s just so sudden! But aren’t you the boss? Why do you have to come out personally?”
“This time the matter is more important, so I have to personally deal with it.” Xia Qingxun was in a good mood. “I’ll come find you.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Qinghan was a bit nervous.
When she was in the final compet.i.tion before, she didn’t even let her parents and brother come over.
Now Xia Qingxun was suddenly coming over. Would something happen?
No, no! Absolutely not!
Xia Qinghan rea.s.sured herself, but she couldn’t help but be nervous.
The next day, the two siblings met.
As soon as they met, Xia Qingxun frowned. “Haven’t you slept well? Or have you been working too much?”
“A little bit of both.” Xia Qinghan did not deny it. “You know that I just became part of a group and have to run around.. I don’t have much time these days. Today I actually took time off!”
