Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Mr. Xi’s Daughter Chapter 224: Chapter 224: Mr. Xi’s Daughter Bao Min had already taken hold of Su Meixi’s arm.

Su Meixi’s injury had not fully healed, so she couldn’t shake him off.

Just as she was about to call over the guards at the door for help, Bao Min suddenly yanked her arm.

The pull on her arm affected her shoulder wound, and in such pain that she couldn’t stand steady, her body quickly plummeted downward.

“Hey, what’s going on with that woman over there?”

From the other side of the courtyard, a man’s deep voice carried over.

Then, a tall and burly figure swiftly emerged from beside a large tree, a man in his fifties, dressed in a well-fitting suit with shiny leather shoes on his feet.

As he appeared, Bao Min immediately cried out with a guilty conscience, “Uncle Xi.”

Xi Huarong, looking at Su Meixi, who was crouching in pain on the ground, quickly walked over and squatted down in front of her, “Young lady, are you alright?”

Su Meixi’s forehead was sweating from the pain, and she glanced at the man in front of her.

For some reason, she felt a sense of familiarity with the man. Then everything went black as she fainted.

Xi Huarong caught her in time.

Xiao Ding hurried over at this moment and seeing Su Meixi, he couldn’t help but become anxious, “Sister-in-law, Dr. Su, what happened to you?”

“Take her to the infirmary, quick!” commanded Xi Huarong.

He, along with Xiao Ding, carried Su Meixi into the infirmary.

Bao Min wanted to follow them in, but she wasn’t qualified to enter.

She could only stomp her feet in frustration on the spot.

At the same time, she cursed, “What a pretense, it was only a slight tug, she’s just trying to get close to Uncle Xi.”

…

Feng City.

Gu Cheng had been very busy these past two days and his mood seemed low, as if he had something on his mind.

Zhou Yuan noticed and wondered if he wanted to go home.

A son-in-law living day in and day out at his father-in-law’s place could start feeling inferior.

Zhou Yuan had forgiven Gu Cheng these past few days; her belly was growing, and every child needs a father. If Gu Cheng was willing to be a good father, the child would be very fortunate.

If Gu Cheng didn’t want this and preferred to marry Li Zhen, it wouldn’t be a loss for her and her child. After all, the child would have inheritance rights and, with a share in Gu Group, there would be no concern for a livelihood.

“Gu Cheng, what are you busy with?” walking onto the balcony, Zhou Yuan asked Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng hurriedly put away his phone.

Seeing this, Zhou Yuan thought he was contacting Li Zhen again and couldn’t help but ask, “Who are you calling?”

Gu Cheng looked at Zhou Yuan, knowing she must have misunderstood.

Caught between being misunderstood by his wife and telling the truth, he chose the latter.

Otherwise, it would be another round of a fiery pursuit to win back his wife.

He walked in and said to Zhou Yuan, “Gu Wei has asked me to investigate Sister Su’s background; he suspects that she isn’t her parents’ biological child.”

At the mention of this, Zhou Yuan immediately became indignant, “Well, isn’t that obvious? Sister Su definitely isn’t their biological child. Otherwise, why would they not care about her for so many years?”

She then asked Gu Cheng, “So, did you find anything?”

“I found something. I had someone check her parents’ DNA and compared it with Ah Xi’s; just as suspected, there is no blood relation.”

During Su Meixi’s stay, Gu Wei had secretly sent her hair samples back to Gu Cheng.

Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but ask, “Then who is Sister Su’s biological father?”

“I haven’t found that out yet,” Gu Cheng replied. “Gu Wei doesn’t want to startle anyone—not wanting either Ah Xi’s parents or Ah Xi to know—so we can only investigate quietly, starting from the time of Ah Xi’s birth.”

Zhou Yuan said, “Then we should check which hospital Sister Su was born in, how many women gave birth there at the same time, and then vet each of their children.”

“That’s what I’m trying to find. But there’s been no breakthrough; among those babies born that year, there were no mix-ups.”

Zhou Yuan was puzzled.

How could that be?

“Could Sister Su have been found in a trash can?” she thought.

…

Su Meixi had a dream.

She dreamt she was back in her childhood, at the age when she needed a father’s love.

And in front of her, there was a father, his large hand holding her small one.

She couldn’t see his face clearly—like Su Qiang, yet not like Su Qiang; Su Qiang had never held her hand that way.

After a while, she opened her eyes, only to realize it had been a dream, and sitting in front of her was a man.

He was in his fifties, strongly featured, looking at her with a strange gaze.

She recognized him as the man who had helped her before she fainted.

Who was he?

“Young lady, are you okay? Does your shoulder still hurt? The doctor has just examined your wound and said it was just a strain; you’ve been through a lot,” Xi Huarong opened up.

Su Meixi felt that her shoulder was not as painful anymore. At that instant when Bao Min had tugged her, she had truly felt like she was going to die.

Xiao Ding was also there, excitedly saying to Su Meixi, “Sis… Dr. Su, do you know who he is?”

Su Meixi thought: Xiao Ding is silly, how would I know who he is if I’ve never seen him?

“What a coincidence, do you remember why you got injured?” Xiao Ding said, “Weren’t you the one who saved a nurse? That nurse, Xiao Fen, is Mr. Xi’s daughter.”

Su Meixi was taken aback; she didn’t expect such a coincidence.

Xi Huarong also humbly said, “I’ve been away these past few days at an important meeting, and I knew that my daughter had been kidnapped, but it was saved by a lady hero. I’ve wanted to visit you to express my gratitude, and I didn’t expect to meet here, some things are truly fated.”

Su Meixi slowly responded, “You’re welcome, it was the right thing to do.”

“Let me introduce myself, my last name is Xi, Xi Huarong, here is my business card,” Xi Huarong handed Su Meixi a business card.

Su Meixi did not even have the strength to lift her arm, so she awkwardly said, “I’m sorry, I’ll look at it later.”

“That’s fine, no hurry. I know Gu Wei; I didn’t realize you were his wife. He’s away on business now, but if you need any help during this time, feel free to call me.”

Su Meixi nodded.

“Also, I saw with my own eyes it was Xiao Bao who pulled you, and I will have Commander Bao criticize her severely. She must be severely reprimanded.”

She nodded again.

She had heard from the nurse who changed the bed sheets that Xiao Fen was the daughter of a high-ranking official. This high-ranking official would stand up for her, likely because she had saved Xiao Fen.

“Well, you rest up; I won’t bother you anymore,” Xi Huarong added.

Once he left, the air in the infirmary seemed to clear a bit.

Su Meixi knew that Xi Huarong had deliberately lowered his aura; otherwise, a man like that could be very intimidating.

Once he was gone, Su Meixi asked, “Xiao Ding, who is he really?”

Xiao Ding eagerly leaned in, “He’s quite the big shot. He used to be an outstanding soldier, then became a narcotics officer, later becoming the head of the public security system, and now he’s a political heavyweight in Yun City, someone even Commander Bao has to respect.”

That impressive?
