Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 32: Chapter 32 Some people, you wouldn’t know they’re wealthy unless they tell you

Su Meixi nodded.

“I’ll go ask my dad and see if he’s willing to sell the equipment to your hospital.”

Han Ningzhen quickly said, “Young lady, I’m the director of the third hospital’s daughter. Add me on WeChat, and we can talk about it there.”

Zhou Yuan gave her a look, “Even if my dad is willing to sell, it would be through Sister Su, what’s it got to do with you?”

Han Ningzhen: “…”

…

Su Meixi returned home around 9 PM.

Upon arrival, she looked very tired.

After changing her shoes in the entryway and hanging her bag above the shoe cabinet, she went to lie down on the couch.

Perhaps because she had lived in this home for so long, she had grown very fond of the soft leather couch in Gu Wei’s house.

It was much more comfortable than the wooden couch in the home she had lived in before, offering a restful place for both body and soul.

Gu Wei heard noise and quickly came out from his room.

“Back already?” he asked as he approached.

“Mhmm, back,” Su Meixi replied indifferently.

Gu Wei noticed her expression was off and sat down beside her, asking again, “You seem to be troubled.”

Su Meixi, supporting her temple with her hand, stared at him with wide eyes.

As if trying to see right through him.

This puzzled Gu Wei.

It was as if she had learned some secret.

Of course, Su Meixi didn’t know any secrets; she was just struggling with whether or not to tell him about what had happened today.

In the end, she decided not to tell.

So, she brought up Zhou Yuan, “Gu Wei, some rich people, if you don’t look closely, you wouldn’t even know they come from wealthy families.”

Gu Wei paused.

Did she find out about Gu Cheng’s identity?

Or did she learn about his specific role?

He became somewhat incoherent, “Maybe… these people… they think money is just an external object, not important. The most important thing is the process of getting along with others, so they didn’t tell you right from the beginning.”

Little did he know, Su Meixi actually agreed with him, “Yes, those things aren’t important. What’s important is everyone having fun together.”

Hearing her say this, Gu Wei immediately felt relieved.

She didn’t mind his identity, nor did she mind him deceiving her.

Just as he was about to reach for her hand and talk about his family, Su Meixi spoke again, “Zhou Yuan, the girl from the escape room the other day, turns out she’s the heir to Kang Cheng Biotechnology.”

“Zhou Yuan?” Gu Wei was shocked for a moment.

After all that, she wasn’t talking about him?

“The girl who was clinging to me, she even left bruises on my arm. I ran into her tonight.”

“Oh, that girl.”

“Our third hospital is looking to buy that phototherapy equipment from Kang Cheng Biotech, right? Zhou Yuan said if they sell it, they should sell it to me. But I don’t know if her father will agree,” Su Meixi said.

“It seems she trusts you a lot.”

“Yes, she trusts me quite a bit after only one meeting.”

Suddenly, Gu Wei thought of something and asked, “Is that what you went out for tonight, to discuss the equipment?”

“I…” Now it was Su Meixi’s turn to feel uneasy.

Seeing her reaction, Gu Wei felt something was amiss.

She had always been a pure and kind girl during their time together, holding back even if she felt wronged.

Besides, negotiation about equipment should be done by the hospital’s management. When would it be a junior doctor’s turn?

Gu Wei didn’t press further, deliberately changing the subject, “You probably bumped into Zhou Yuan on the street instead of going to discuss equipment, right? Did Zhou Yuan treat you to milk tea? I remember she said she’d treat you last time.”

Relieved he didn’t pursue the equipment topic, Su Meixi replied, “She did.”

“Which milk tea shop? Was it good?”

“It was from Yi Diu Diu at Qian Da Building.” @@novelbin@@

“Oh, you went to Qian Da Building?” Gu Wei said.

“Mhmm, yeah.”

“Was dinner satisfying? If not, I left some food for you in the fridge.”

“No need, I’m not much of an appetite,” Su Meixi said.

She stood up from the couch, suddenly remembering she hadn’t completed her hugging task for the day.

What excuse could she use to hug him today?

She didn’t want to practice striking, low blood sugar had already been used, fainting?

Seems like those had all been used too.

“Gu Wei, what were you busy with today?” Su Meixi asked.

“Working on a project for my brother, giving them some technical guidance.”

“So… did you give them the guidance?”

“I did. Just before you came back, I sent the materials over.”

That suddenly excited Su Meixi, “Oh, that’s great, congratulations!”

She finished speaking and then hugged him.

Gu Wei didn’t react.

The woman, who had just been downcast, now suddenly pretended to be excited to hug him, and he couldn’t help but feel there was something fishy.

In fact, Su Meixi felt quite awkward too; such sudden embraces fit better when both are thrilled. It wasn’t as good when it was one-sided enthusiasm.

But since she had already completed her task, she thought, whatever.

“Gu Wei, I’m going to take a shower and go to bed, good night.”

Su Meixi ran off as if fleeing.

Leaving Gu Wei standing alone in the living room.

Her scent lingered on him.

Not just hers, there was also a smell of hotpot spices.

His expression darkened.

Then, he made a call to Assistant Bai, Gu Cheng’s assistant.

“Assistant Bai, I need you to check for me, my wife’s records at Qian Da Square tonight, including surveillance footage.”

Assistant Bai, not only taking orders from Gu Cheng but also obedient to any shareholder of the Gu Group, immediately started the search.

Half an hour later, he sent the surveillance footage to Gu Wei’s phone.

The more Gu Wei watched, the darker his face became.

…

The next day.

Just as Su Meixi arrived at work, Mr. Wang called her, “Dr. Su, why are you still here? Isn’t the director waiting for you in the parking lot?”

“Waiting for me?” Su Meixi was puzzled.

“I sent you a message and called you. Didn’t you hear it?”

She quickly took out her phone, which she had muted the night before and had left in her bag today, so she didn’t hear it.

“Hurry up, don’t keep the director waiting,” Mr. Wang said.

Still, Su Meixi asked, “What does the director need me for?”

“It’s about that equipment. Kang Cheng Biotechnology specified that they want you to be part of the negotiation.”

Su Meixi paused, thinking of Mr. Ma; she had been bitten by a snake once and was now scared for ten years at the mention of a rope, “Why should I go?”

“Aren’t you acquainted with the daughter of their CEO? She’s the one setting this up for you.”

“Oh, in that case, I’ll go right away.” Su Meixi felt reassured at the mention of Zhou Yuan.

After she left, several colleagues in the hospital began discussing.

Sister Zhou: “How does Dr. Su know the CEO’s daughter?”

Mr. Wang sighed, “It’s hard to say, some people are just lucky. Of course, it could also be because of her good deeds paying off.”
