Chapter 1127: Chapter 1127: Zhou Jihuai is Back
“Zhou Jihuai is back.”
“No wonder.” Song Jinyan squinted his eyes, quietly changing his mind.
The person he had sent to investigate in Clear Water County reported that Zhou Hengyang had arranged for someone named He Changming to obstruct them. And their investigation had already been disclosed to Zhou Hengyang by He Changming, so, having been discovered, they had no choice but to withdraw.
Zhou Hengyang was a local tyrant in Clear Water County, having been the “local” for years. If he didn’t allow it, those people would find nothing even if they stayed.
He himself and Songshan were too busy to leave, especially as the end of the year drew closer, with more matters to attend to.
This time, Xu Xiyi returned unexpectedly, and he had wanted him to help out, among other things, to make a trip to Clear Water County. Now that Xu Xiyi was under Zhou Jihuai’s command, it was no longer a good idea to involve him.
“What help did you just say you needed?”
“Nothing, I was just saying.” Song Jinyan waved his hand nonchalantly, put away the poster, and said to Songshan in front, “Order me a flower basket to send over for New Year’s Day.”
“Yes.”
“Send a flower basket?” Xu Xiyi asked curiously.
Having not returned for over a year and missing many events, “Should I be sending one?”
The two grew up together and shared many friends, childhood pals, and classmates, which is why Xu Xiyi asked.
The corners of Song Jinyan’s lips turned up slightly, “Of course, you should send one. You just got back, let me take care of it for you!”
“Alright! Thanks then.”
“No problem, after all, we’re brothers!”
Songshan listened from the front, his mouth twitching, wondering if Xu Xiyi would be infuriated upon learning that the target of the flower basket was the black-belly mastermind responsible for leading his little brother astray.
As they talked, an enlarged handsome face appeared outside the car window.
Seated on the inside of the road, Song Jinyan rolled down the window. Xu Junfeng, in a down jacket with a fuzzy hood, appeared super cute, standing outside the car window and flashing a brilliant smile at the two inside.
The handsome face had two dimples that appeared when he smiled, reaching explosive levels of sweetness.
“Big Brother Song, Big Brother,” Xu Junfeng’s smile was not only bright, but his words were also incredibly sweet, looking at Xu Xiyi like a fluffy little bun.
“Big Brother, you’re back. I’ve missed you to death.”
Xu Xiyi knew that the kid was deliberately saying sweet nothings to please him even though deep down, he hoped Xu Xiyi would not return to keep an eye on him. Yet, seeing his explosively sweet little brother made his heart melt, like a silly dad.
“Hmph!” Someone snorted haughtily and grumpily said, “Aren’t you getting in? Isn’t it cold outside?”
A trace of mockery flickered in Song Jinyan’s eyes as he took an understanding glance at Xu Junfeng.
The kid was getting more and more black-belly, fooling Xu Xiyi round and round. No one would believe it if it got out.
“No need, I have class soon. Big Brother, did you need something?” Xu Junfeng pretended not to notice Song Jinyan’s gaze, acting like an obedient and cute little thing, “When did you come back? Have you been home yet?”
Xu Xiyi was just about to throw a tantrum and chastise the mischievous brat when he was immediately pacified by the brat’s cajoling.
“Haven’t been home yet. I have to go to the base soon and also visit an old leader.”
Song Jinyan continued, “We’re on the way.”
Xu Junfeng rolled his eyes covertly, thinking I didn’t say you weren’t allowed here, why act so suspiciously? Actually, he knew that Mother and Grandma were so anxious to call Big Brother back to urge him to settle his marriage issues at the latest by New Year was because of Song Jinyan.
