Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Don’t Think I Don’t Know It Was You Who Set Me Up

Su Meixi nodded, Han Ningzhen wasn’t wrong about that.

“Su Meixi, you see everyone is looking out for you, but you can’t just ignore the life and death of the hospital, can you?” “Why don’t you meet with the person responsible for purchasing to clear the air?”

After some thought, Su Meixi felt that she indeed should talk to the people on the other side, so she agreed, “Okay.”

Han Ningzhen immediately smiled and said enthusiastically, “It just so happens that I have the contact details for the person in charge on their side. I’ll set up a time and place, and you must come.”

…

In the evening, Su Meixi sent a message to Gu Wei: I’ve got something on tonight, won’t be back for dinner.

Han Ningzhen had already sent her a message, asking her to leave together after work.

She went to the parking lot and saw Han Ningzhen and Li Pingping.

Han Ningzhen was driving Qi Anran’s BMW, and she asked Su Meixi, “Do you want to get in my car?”

Su Meixi replied, “No need, I’ll drive my own.”

“Alright, then keep up.”

Su Meixi drove her own Land Rover, following behind.

Once in the car, a trace of doubt flashed through her mind: Could Han Ningzhen be setting her up?

To meet the person responsible for purchasing equipment, she’s only bringing Li Pingping?

You’d think a hospital official should be present.

But since she was already here, she might as well see what Han Ningzhen was up to.

After driving for over 20 minutes, they arrived at a large shopping mall in the city center.

With the constant flow of people here, surely nothing would happen.

After parking, Han Ningzhen led Su Meixi to a grilled fish restaurant and booked a private room inside.

Entering the room, Su Meixi saw a chubby man sitting inside.

“Dr. Su, this is Mr. Ma,” Han Ningzhen introduced.

She continued, “Mr. Ma, this is Dr. Su.”

Upon seeing Su Meixi, Mr. Ma couldn’t help but light up.

He stretched out his hand, wanting to shake hands with Su Meixi, “Dr. Su, hello, I’ve seen your videos. You look a hundred times better in person than on the videos, even better-looking than those celebrities on TV.”

Su Meixi couldn’t help but feel puzzled.

Wasn’t this about making an apology? By all accounts, Mr. Ma should dislike her, so why did he seem so enthusiastic?

Han Ningzhen, sensing that something was off, quickly smoothed things over, “Mr. Ma, shall we order first? We can talk while we eat?”

“Sure,” agreed Mr. Ma.

Han Ningzhen ordered two grilled fish and two bottles of fruit wine.

When the wine was served, they started drinking.

Han Ningzhen, always good at creating a lively atmosphere, kept things from going dull, and Mr. Ma also engaged in lively conversation with her, even going so far as to say, “I had no idea the daughter of the Dean of the Third Hospital was also so good-looking.”

“Mr. Ma, you flatter me too much; I’m not as good-looking as Dr. Su.”

Raising his glass to Su Meixi, Mr. Ma said, “Dr. Su is indeed beautiful. With such looks, why bother becoming a doctor?”

Su Meixi was puzzled; did being beautiful mean she couldn’t be a doctor?

“What should I be then?” Su Meixi, who could hold her liquor, wasn’t afraid of drinking.

“You should be a flight attendant, or a model, or an actress. If not that, you could be an internet celebrity; just by posting some photos, you’d get lots of tips,” said Mr. Ma.

Su Meixi replied indifferently, “I don’t have that talent.”

“I know some agents in the entertainment industry, how about I introduce a few directors to you? Maybe you could land a lead role,” Mr. Ma toasted Su Meixi again.

“Forget it, I’m not cut out for that.”

Su Meixi didn’t drink this time; she felt that Mr. Ma wasn’t a good person.

At this moment, Han Ningzhen nudged Li Pingping. Li Pingping was just a follower, tagging along for the meal, unaware of the current situation. Han Ningzhen gestured towards the door, signaling her to leave soon.

As Han Ningzhen picked up her bag, she said to Mr. Ma and Su Meixi, “Pingping and I have something to take care of, so we’ll be leaving first. Dr. Su, have a good talk with Mr. Ma.”

By this point, Su Meixi had already sensed that something was amiss.

She directly asked Mr. Ma, “Mr. Ma, I heard that the reason our hospital can’t purchase the phototherapy equipment is because of me?”

Mr. Ma chuckled, put down his chopsticks, and tried to grab Su Meixi’s hand, but she quickly dodged.

“You don’t want to buy the equipment?” Mr. Ma asked.

“I do, but, Han Ningzhen told me that you’re refusing to sell the equipment to us because of the video.”

Mr. Ma replied, “Yeah, I did see your video, and I thought you were beautiful. If you could spend some time with me, then I would sell the equipment to your hospital.”

“What do you mean by ‘spend some time’?” Su Meixi asked.

“What do you think? After dinner, how about we get a room?” Mr. Ma was straightforward.

Looking at Mr. Ma’s greasy, fat face, not having wiped his mouth after eating fish, his lips and chin all oily, Su Meixi felt the urge to vomit at the thought of being intimate with that mouth.Upd@te by n0vgo .c0

“I’m sorry, I think there has been some misunderstanding between us. Han Ningzhen told me you had the wrong impression of our company because of the video, so I wanted to clear things up. But I didn’t expect you to have other intentions. I’m not into sleeping with people like that, sorry!” @@novelbin@@

Su Meixi stood up to leave, but Mr. Ma grabbed her arm.

“Dr. Su, don’t go. I really started to like you after seeing the video and now that I’ve met you in person, I like you even more. Just spend one night with me, just one night, and I’ll definitely sell the equipment to you. If you don’t believe me, we can sign the contract right now.”

“Let me go.” Su Meixi tried to shake off his hand.

But Mr. Ma was tall and strong, and Su Meixi couldn’t break free.

In desperation, she used the self-defense techniques taught by Gu Wei—knee him in the jaw first, then a kick to his stomach.

She remembered Gu Wei’s words, not to linger after gaining the upper hand; it was time to run.

Mr. Ma yelled from behind, “You’ll ruin any chance your hospital ever had after treating me like this!”

Su Meixi paused.

It was regrettable they couldn’t get the equipment, but this wasn’t her fault. Surely the dean and the deputy dean didn’t tell her the truth because it was all so absurd!

She opened the door and exited the private room, seeing Han Ningzhen and Li Pingping eavesdropping outside.

Li Pingping hurriedly explained, “It’s not my fault. I didn’t know anything. I was just brought here for the meal at the last minute; how was I supposed to know that Mr. Ma wanted to sleep with you?”

Han Ningzhen was nervous, but she defiantly said, “I didn’t know either. When my dad said it was all because of you, I thought it was just about the video. Who knew that Mr. Ma would be so awful?”

Su Meixi raised her hand and slapped Han Ningzhen hard.

“Han Ningzhen, don’t think I don’t know this was your scheme.”

Han Ningzhen didn’t expect Su Meixi to hit so hard; she almost couldn’t stand straight as stars danced before her eyes.

But she still argued, “So what if it was me? It’s such an important matter to buy equipment; shouldn’t you make some sacrifices for the hospital? How did you become a chief physician, wasn’t that thanks to the hospital’s cultivation? Where would you be without the hospital?”

“I became a chief physician through my own efforts, unlike you—a nepotism hire who got in through the back door. You’re the one who should pay the price for this,” Su Meixi said, then pushed Han Ningzhen towards the private room.

Inside the room, Mr. Ma had just reached the door when Su Meixi pushed it open, bumping into him.

As he was about to get angry, Su Meixi shoved Han Ningzhen in, and unprepared, he fell backward.

Han Ningzhen didn’t stay on her feet either; she ended up on top of Mr. Ma.
