Chapter 1342: Chapter 1342: Are You Afraid of Me?

“Okay, I understand,” he replied.

“Big Brother, who are you talking to? You sound in high spirits,” Xu Junfeng’s voice came from behind.

When Xu Xiyi turned around, he saw his naive younger brother almost resting his chin on his shoulder, staring at him curiously.

“Who is she? ‘Don’t let her find out about you two’s relationship’? What relationship are you talking about?” Xu Junfeng bombarded him with three questions in a row and didn’t wait for an answer, continuing on his own, “I get it, you must be in love with someone. Are you the third party? Does the person you love have a husband?”

“Shut up!” Xu Xiyi slapped his foolish brother, annoyed, “What are you thinking? Would I engage in such misconduct?”

“Maybe not, but if you really liked someone, you wouldn’t care about any misconduct,” he retorted.

It was just like a little brother to know so much.

Su Qing hadn’t eaten lunch yet, and it was already past one o’clock. She was very hungry. After Fang Shuai left, she first went downstairs to the workshop to check on the work progress. After making sure everything was fine, she grabbed her bag and headed out.

She planned to order a bowl of wontons from next door before going to the shop. Just as she stepped out, Su Pingping suddenly appeared from the side, startling Su Qing.

“What are you doing here?”

“Director Su…” Su Pingping twisted her hands nervously, her head bowed, unable to speak a complete sentence for a long time.

“What is it?” Su Qing asked, trying to be patient.

“I, I…” Su Pingping’s face turned red from the effort, and just as Su Qing’s patience was running thin, she suddenly looked up, her face pale, and asked, “Has… has Su Wen been coming to the studio lately?”

“Do you need my sister for something?” Su Qing frowned slightly, recalling Fang Shuai’s words. Were they all really afraid of her? “You can talk to me about work matters. My sister isn’t handling things here for now.”

It wasn’t that Su Wen wasn’t involved at all, mainly because Zhou Hengyang was too restrictive. He wouldn’t allow her to do this and that. The magazine agency purchased by Su Wen and Zhou Hengyang was busy as Su Wen and Chief Editor Xia were working together to revamp it.

“It… it’s not about work.”

“Has someone been bullying you? Or are there problems where you’re staying? Do you have conflicts with someone?” It was normal for the studio with many people to have occasional small conflicts.

“No, no,” Su Pingping quickly waved her hands, “Everyone gets along very well.”

If Su Qing couldn’t guess what was bothering her at this point, it would be a big failure.

“Did you go home? Did you see your mother?”

“Yes!” Su Pingping saw Su Qing getting colder, and her heart started to race. She wanted to apologize to Su Wen face to face and say something to ease her mind, as she couldn’t even sleep well. But Su Wen hadn’t been coming to the studio, and the only ones she could see were Su Qing and Su Xiu.

Su Xiu rarely came, and she didn’t handle things. The only one she could turn to now was Su Qing, but having grown up together, Su Pingping knew that Su Qing was not easy to approach.

In contrast, Su Wen seemed much more approachable than before, more open-minded. It was easier to talk to her about problems now. Seeing things headed in a direction that was likely to anger Su Qing, Su Pingping felt both afraid and regretful.

“Are you afraid of me?”

“No, I’m not,” she denied.

Su Qing chuckled coldly, “Then you think I’m hard to talk to, unsympathetic, so you’re afraid to approach me with your problems, right?”
