When Tuanzi heard that her phone was ringing, she was stunned for a long time and didn't react.
Finally, Xiao Jiu reminded him again: "The phone, answer the phone!"
The little guy then came to his senses and immediately took off running inside.
Actually, I thought it was Commander Gao calling back, which is why I was so excited.
However, when I received the call, it was from an unfamiliar voice.
"Hello, are you Young Master Tuanzi?" asked the Xi family's maid.
On the other end of the phone, the little figure tilted its head: "Hmm? Who is it? How does it recognize me?"
"I'm Tuanzi, but... who are you?"
"Young Master, hello. I am a servant of the Xi family. I have something I would like to ask for your help with. Is that alright?"
The Xi family?
Big brother's house?
How could the little guy possibly stay calm?
"What is it? What do you need Tuanzi's help with? Where is big brother?"
After being bombarded with several questions, the maid quickly and briefly answered them, finally getting to the point:
"Young Master Tuanzi, our young master hasn't slept for two nights, and he hasn't eaten a single meal yet today. He's in a very bad mood, so we'd like to ask Young Master Tuanzi to help us persuade him, would that be alright?"
Tuanzi, on the other hand, was very anxious and jumped up and down several times.
"What? What's wrong with big brother? Is he sick? Why is he in a bad mood? Did someone upset him?"
The maid was so overwhelmed by the barrage of questions that she didn't know which one to answer.
"Well, young master Tuanzi can ask the young master if he's willing to tell you."
A servant is a servant; naturally, they wouldn't casually tell other people about their master's affairs.
The little boy hurriedly said, "Where is big brother? I want to talk to big brother."
The maid nodded emphatically to the butler who was already standing at the door of the room upstairs. The butler received the signal and then knocked on the door again.
"Young master, the phone."
After a while, a slightly hoarse voice came from inside the house: "Who called? If it's someone unimportant, just say I'm not here."
The butler probably expected this reaction.
"It is the young grandson of the Gu family."
As soon as he finished speaking, the butler held his breath.
Inside, Xi Siyu paused when he heard it was Xiao Tuanzi. A few glimmers of light instantly appeared in his lifeless eyes, but the process was so brief that it was almost imperceptible.
"Bring them in."
The butler was finally relieved, a smile of satisfaction spreading across his face: "Alright, I'll have someone connect the phone to the young master right away."
........
On the other end of the phone, a little person was getting impatient, scratching their hair incessantly.
Why isn't it being answered?
What's wrong with the older brother?
Ugh, I feel so anxious!
After receiving the housekeeper's instructions, the Xi family's maid quickly connected the phone to the upstairs phone. Once connected, she quickly hung up and quietly left with the housekeeper.
"Hello..."
Xi Siyu's voice came through the phone.
Although his voice was slightly hoarse, the little dumpling recognized it immediately:
"Big brother, big brother!" he called out urgently.
The little boy was too young. Although he knew his older brother was very unhappy, he didn't know what to say to the guard, so he could only call out to him several times.
Upon hearing the little man's voice, Xi Siyu's gloom dissipated considerably, especially from the little guy's heartfelt words of concern.
