Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Su Qiang is Coming Chapter 219: Chapter 219: Su Qiang is Coming In the living room on the first floor, Su Meixi chatted with Mrs. Bao about her own family matters and inquired about the Bao family. She learned that Commander Bao kept Bao Min with him as a way to repay a favor.

Mrs. Bao said, “I can’t decide on this matter either. Your elder brother truly owes Old Bao a favor, and he has no other wishes but hopes that we will raise his daughter well.”

Su Meixi expressed her understanding.

At that moment, two men came down from upstairs, laughing cheerfully. Judging by their expressions, it seemed everything had been settled.

Mrs. Bao said to Commander Bao, “Old Bao, this is Gu Wei’s wife. Just call her Xiao Su.”

Commander Bao gave Su Meixi a glance, his eyes slightly startled, before speaking directly, “Young lady, have we met somewhere before? You look so familiar to me.”

Su Meixi looked at Commander Bao, puzzled, “Maybe we’ve run into each other in the neighborhood?”

She didn’t remember ever meeting Commander Bao.

Commander Bao scrutinized her intently until both Gu Wei and Mrs. Bao cleared their throats twice.

Who stares at a young lady like that?

Only then did Commander Bao divert his gaze and muttered to himself, “I’m sure we’ve met, otherwise you must resemble someone else, it’s just that I can’t recall who right now.”

Mrs. Bao scornfully said, “Alright, that’s enough. People will think you’re hitting on the girl without knowing any better.”

“Why would I hit on someone? At my age, don’t make me out to be so sleazy.”

However, he then told Su Meixi, “Young lady, Gu Wei has just told me everything upstairs. Don’t worry, I won’t show favoritism to Bao Min. It was Gu Wei who hit her, not you. It’s enough if Gu Wei takes responsibility for the consequences.”

Su Meixi glanced at Gu Wei, and he nodded to her as if everything really had been resolved.

Seeing the liquor on the table, Commander Bao unscrewed the cap, sniffed it, and then pushed it back toward Gu Wei, “Take your liquor back with you. Don’t think you can fool me with this low-quality stuff and then report me. I won’t fall for that trick!”

Gu Wei said, “Fine, I’ll take the liquor back, but you keep the mooncakes.”

“Leftovers from the Mid-Autumn Festival?” Commander Bao scoffed.

“As long as they’re edible,” Gu Wei said. “It wouldn’t be right to visit someone empty-handed.”

Mrs. Bao said, “Just accept the mooncakes. I see these are from Meixin. I’ll give them a try.”

Commander Bao and Mrs. Bao walked Gu Wei and Su Meixi to the door.

At that moment, Bao Min also ran over.

Seeing Su Meixi and the others walking away, Bao Min pouted to Commander Bao, “Uncle, why did you let them go just like that?”

“Well, what do you want to happen?” Commander Bao looked at Bao Min with a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes, hands clasped behind his back.

Bao Min said, “I want Su Meixi to apologize to me formally. It would be best if she did it over the neighborhood’s loudspeakers so that everyone in the complex can hear it, since Gu Wei hit me after all.”

Commander Bao walked upstairs as he replied, “The person who hit you is Gu Wei; what does that have to do with Xiao Su?”

“Gu Wei hit me because of Su Meixi,” Bao Min said angrily.

“If you’re capable, hit him back,” Commander Bao said as he reached the staircase corner.

Bao Min knew her uncle wouldn’t take her side, and her anger flared up even more.

She felt like the whole world was against her.

…

On the way back, Su Meixi asked, “What did you and Commander Bao talk about upstairs?”

“That old fox, he deliberately used this incident to get me to teach him infrared detection technology—technology that I’ve patented.”

“Is it classified?”

“Not entirely. It’s just that during maneuvers, I’m always on the Blue Team and he’s on the Red Team. They always get their location exposed because of my detector, so we always win. He’s annoyed by it, so he used this incident to have me teach him the technology.”

Su Meixi asked, “So does that mean you’re going to lose from now on?”

“No, I’ll still have a trick up my sleeve.”

Su Meixi pushed him playfully, “You call others old foxes, but you’re one yourself.”

“It’s self-defense!”

Su Meixi then brought up another subject, “Why did Commander Bao say I looked familiar to him? I’ve never met him before.”

Gu Wei thought for a moment, “You’re prettier than the stars on TV; he probably thought you looked like some celebrity.”

“Does he know many celebrities?”

“It’s precisely because he doesn’t know them. He occasionally watches TV or sees the city’s advertisements and recognizes a few, I guess.”

“Possibly.”

The two chatted and before long, they had arrived home.

…

Su Meixi took a few days off, and Gu Wei also returned to the barracks.

She went back to work for several days. Mr. Wang didn’t send her to the outpatient department but to the inpatient department instead, and during those days, she didn’t encounter anyone strange.

Those people must really have been controlled, Su Meixi thought.

One day, a new patient was admitted to the hospital, about 50 years old, named Yang Zhengcheng. He was unremarkable in appearance and seemed quite honest. He had a herniated lumbar disk, and the pain had become severe in the past few days, so he needed to be hospitalized for treatment.

Su Meixi was his chief physician, examining him daily and performing minimally invasive needle-knife treatment, which eased his pain.

One day, Su Meixi and the director, along with a group of hospital staff, reviewed his room, analyzed his condition, and informed him he could be discharged.

The man’s eyes suddenly filled with scheming.

The doctors thought that this kind of patient was worried about the cost of hospitalization, and Mr. Wang comforted him, “It’s all right, don’t you have health insurance? After deducting health insurance, it’s only a few thousand yuan.”

At that moment, Su Meixi felt a flicker of unease.

But she quickly comforted herself, reminding herself she must remain rational and not succumb to paranoia.

Just then, Su Qiang called again.

“Ah Xi, how are you doing lately?” Su Qiang asked.

Su Meixi thought about how she had suspected Su Qiang’s identity, but since she had no evidence, she replied, “I’m fine, how about you?”

“I’m doing well in Guang City. When will you have time? I plan to come see you.”

“You can’t just come into the Military District hospital; it’s better if you didn’t,” Su Meixi said.

“Dad isn’t doing anything bad, why can’t I come in? I’ve checked; as long as there’s a relative inside, it shouldn’t be a problem. If they don’t let me in, I’ll just stay at a hotel.”

“What’s the purpose of your visit?”

“Just that it’s been too long, and I miss you,” Su Qiang said. “Can’t a father want to see his daughter?”

Su Meixi thought to herself, fine, come then, it’s a good opportunity for me to have someone investigate your identity.

“Whenever suits you, when will you have time to come by?”

“I’m almost at Yun City, about to get off the high-speed train, haha,” Su Qiang laughed.

Su Meixi: “…”

Was this a surprise? It felt more like a shock.

All she felt was a headache, “Dad, I’m at work, I can’t just take time off early in the morning to accommodate you; you’d better stay in a hotel first.”

“That’s fine, I could do with some rest. Just send me your address.”

After thinking for a moment, Su Meixi sent him a location near the hospital.

She had a gut feeling that her father’s visit wasn’t for anything good.

After sending the location, she returned to her office to arrange the discharge paperwork and summary for Yang Zhengcheng.

Once that was done, they could notify the nurse to get these to Yang Zhengcheng for billing.

Unexpectedly, not long afterward, a scream was heard from the nurse’s station.

Someone shouted, “Calm down, please, don’t be rash, she’s innocent!”

Su Meixi rushed out, only to see Yang Zhengcheng holding a duty nurse hostage with a fruit knife, “Get your doctors here, call the hospital director. Otherwise, I’ll stab her!”

People nearby were thrown into chaos; some brave ones tried to call for calm, some went to report to the police, and the more timid hid under desks, not daring to come out.

Su Meixi stood still without moving.
