Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Want Me to Give Up on Ah Xi?
Su Meixi smiled and said, “Since you don’t want the orange juice, I’ll drink it myself.”
Drinking too much water before bed could affect sleep, especially for someone like him who was prone to insomnia.
She had only squeezed one glass, then took the orange juice back to her room.
Just when she was showering, she found a tiny ulcer in her mouth, probably a sign of a vitamin deficiency, so she came out to get some orange juice to drink.
Gu Wei returned to the sofa and sat there blankly.
No embrace, and she had even drunk orange juice.
It seemed that her rejection of Qi Anran was real, but sometimes, rejecting an affair only meant the person had a strong sense of responsibility; it didn’t necessarily mean she truly didn’t care at all.
First love truly was hard to forget.
…
Qi Anran was lectured by his mother all night, saying he was too foolish and naïve. Even though he already had a girlfriend, he still went after the hospital director’s daughter. She had already gossiped with everyone she could at the hospital today, and everyone was criticizing Qi Anran for being fickle, thinking he had secured a powerful support, unaware that he still couldn’t escape the three-month curse.
“Mom, cut it out,” Qi Anran was irritated.
Mrs. Qi was not willing to let it go, “Then what should we do with all these things I bought? Even though they were on sale, the original price was not cheap. Many people in the village wear this brand of shoes and clothes. If someone buys a pair of these shoes, the whole village goes around showing them off.”
“If you like them, wear them yourself.”
“Her size…” Never mind, Mrs. Qi had bought them in her own size.
Her feet were on the larger side, so getting shoes that were a bit bigger was fine; they would fit anyone.
“What are we going to do now? Do you really plan to let Ah Xi slip away?” Mrs. Qi asked.
Qi Anran was agitated, pulled up the blanket over his head, and said, “What else can I do? She already has someone else in her heart.”
“Who is this other person? Is he better than you? Is he better looking than you?”
“Mom, enough, stop nagging me!”
He turned over and quickly fell asleep.
Mrs. Qi was so angry that she slapped her thigh.
…
Mrs. Qi got up early the next day.
First, she bought breakfast for her son from the dining hall.
Outside, a bun cost one yuan and fifty cents, but in the dining hall, it was only eighty cents, as long as you got there early, or else they’d be gone.
After getting breakfast, she took three buns and two meat buns and sat on a stone bench outside the hospital to eat.
Most of the people coming in the morning were hospital staff, and not many recognized her, except for Han Ningzhen.
Han Ningzhen drove in her BMW MINI, and upon seeing Mrs. Qi, she couldn’t help but feel disdain.
Luckily she hadn’t married Qi Anran, otherwise having such a mother-in-law would be utterly humiliating.
She stepped on the accelerator and quickly drove in.
Mrs. Qi waited a while longer and finally saw Su Meixi.
Because Gu Wei had to go to Kang Sheng Hospital for a check-up today, he drove Su Meixi to work first.
As soon as she saw Su Meixi getting out of the car, Mrs. Qi immediately rushed over.
“Ah Xi, you’ve arrived,” Mrs. Qi said.
“You again?” Upon seeing Mrs. Qi, Su Meixi no longer wanted to be courteous.
Mrs. Qi stuffed a meat bun into Su Meixi’s hand, “Ah Xi, look, auntie bought you a meat bun. Auntie eats plain buns, but gives you meat-filled ones, isn’t auntie good to you? Please listen to auntie’s advice and go back to Anran, he can’t be without you. He was so heartbroken last night, and he didn’t sleep until dawn.”
Su Meixi held back her annoyance and pointed to Gu Wei in the car, “I have a boyfriend now, and this gentleman in the car is him!”
Mrs. Qi shook her head, “You and Anran have been together for two years, but you haven’t been with the man in the car for even a month, have you? Can he be as good as Anran? Just look at the car he’s driving, and you’ll know. Our Anran drives a BMW, but what is this? I’ve never even heard of it.”
Su Meixi could only say, “A BMW costs 500,000, but my boyfriend’s car is 800,000.”
“This… But you can’t just look at the car, you have to look at the person. Look at my Anran, he’s almost 180 cm tall, is the one in the car as tall?”
Gu Wei saw Su Meixi being stopped by an elderly lady and figured this lady must be Qi Anran’s mother.
He hurriedly got out of the car and shielded Su Meixi with his body.
Mrs. Qi couldn’t help but tilt her head back.
So tall!
Almost one meter ninety.
Gu Wei spoke, “Auntie, you’re blocking Ah Xi, may I ask what’s the matter?”
“I… I just wanted to talk to her, about her and my son, she was originally with my son, if it weren’t for you, she would definitely be with my son now, could you, could you leave her?”
This place was a temporary parking spot, and Gu Wei had parked his car here for a while, the traffic would soon start backing up.
Gu Wei pointed to his car, “Auntie, come on the car with me, let’s talk in the car.”
“This… what if I get on and you rob me?”
Gu Wei pointed at the security cameras at the entrance of the hospital, “There are surveillance cameras here, I won’t do anything to you, come on.”
Then, he looked at Su Meixi, “I’ll handle this, you go ahead to work.”
For some reason, Su Meixi trusted him immensely.
She nodded, “Okay, then I’ll go to work.”
As she was about to leave, Gu Wei took her hand.
Su Meixi turned around in confusion, only to find that Gu Wei lowered his head and kissed the corner of her mouth.
Just a little bit more and he would have kissed her lips.
Su Meixi’s heart tightened. @@novelbin@@
This was meant for Mrs. Qi to see, wasn’t it?
Alright, since he wanted to play it out, she would play along.
She tiptoed and gave him a firm “pop” on the lips.
Gu Wei was startled and basked in the moment.
…
Mrs. Qi finally managed to climb into Gu Wei’s car.
Once inside, she glanced at Gu Wei.
At this moment, Gu Wei had put away his smile, his silent demeanor serious, resembling those menacing characters from TV.
She couldn’t help but shiver, “I, I want to get off the car.”
While turning the steering wheel, Gu Wei said, “Auntie, we haven’t finished our conversation, let’s wait until after we’ve talked.”
After saying that, he drove away from the hospital.
Gu Wei drove extremely fast, and although it was rush hour, he still managed to weave through traffic, causing Mrs. Qi to grip the door handle in panic, her face turning pale.
“You, where are you taking me? Let me out quickly…”
“Naturally, to a place suitable for talking,” said Gu Wei.
Half an hour later, Gu Wei parked the car near the river.
This place was relatively secluded and it wasn’t the weekend, so there were hardly any people.
The moment Mrs. Qi got out, she vomited, and after she finally finished, she pointed at Gu Wei angrily, “You… why are you stopping here? I’m going to call the police.”
She shivered as she took out her phone, about to dial, but Gu Wei easily snatched it away.
“Auntie, we haven’t finished our matter, once we’re done, I’ll naturally take you back. You just said you want me to give up Ah Xi and let her go back to your son?”
“That’s right!” Mrs. Qi said defiantly.
Gu Wei seemed to consider, “Then what benefit can I get?”
“You, how can you still think of benefits? You and Ah Xi are not suitable, there’s no love, understand? Ah Xi and my son have a foundation, she can only be happy and joyful with my son.”
Gu Wei suddenly stopped Mrs. Qi, “Auntie, hold on, I need to take care of something first.”
What do you think?
