Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Women Are Petty in Love Chapter 205: Chapter 205: Women Are Petty in Love Gu Cheng didn’t say anything, and he went to the hospital.

Li Zhen was still lying in the hospital bed, having taken a severe fall, fracturing her calf.

Qiu Yurou was also present; she had her housekeeper bring over a pot of porridge for Li Zhen to eat. The two chatted while eating, looking quite cheerful.

Seeing Gu Cheng arrive, Qiu Yurou couldn’t help but ask, “Ah Cheng, you…”

Why are you here again?

Gu Cheng understood his mother’s implication and said to Qiu Yurou, “Mom, please step out for a while. I have something I want to discuss with Li Zhen.”

Qiu Yurou left but, feeling uneasy, stayed by the door to listen.

However, the door was closed too tightly, and she couldn’t hear clearly from inside.

Gu Cheng sat in front of Li Zhen, watching her.

Seeing Gu Cheng arrive, Li Zhen’s eyes noticeably brightened, “Ah Cheng, why are you here to see me again? I’m really fine now, you should go back and be with your darling wife, otherwise, I’m afraid she’ll get angry again.”

“She ran away,” Gu Cheng said.

Li Zhen looked surprised. “What? Where did she go? Is it because of me? Then you should hurry and explain to her, or maybe I should call and explain.”

Gu Cheng kept looking into Li Zhen’s eyes.

Her expression seemed tense, but her gaze did not appear panicky.

“How did you fall that day?” Gu Cheng asked.

Li Zhen appeared calm because she had taken preventive measures, “I really just slipped. The stairs were slippery, probably because Jenny was playing with water and spilled some on them.”

“There’s nothing about this incident on the home surveillance.”

“That surveillance often malfunctions and has gaps. This morning’s footage isn’t there either. I wanted to watch Jenny, but all I saw was a blank screen until we had the nanny call someone to fix it.”

Gu Cheng smiled, “Is that so?”

“Ah Cheng, do you suspect me? Do you think I fell on purpose? Do you know how much this hospital stay has held up at the company? If I stay any longer, I’m afraid I’ll be fired. There’s no need for me to do this.”

Gu Cheng said, “You’d better not have.”

He stood up.

“Ah Cheng, where are you going?” Li Zhen became a bit panicked.

Gu Cheng paused, “I don’t know.”

Zhou Yuan had disappeared without returning to her parents’ home, and Mr. Zhou and his wife were looking for her that morning.

He walked out of the hospital.

For a time, he didn’t know where to go.

He had spent several years hoping for Li Zhen to return.

But then, the plump Little Tangyuan had burst into his life, sometimes like a little sun, making him more than just a cold machine.

He had gotten used to greeting her in the mornings and evenings, used to seeing her every day when he got home.

She could tolerate all his flaws.

To outsiders, he was a man high up, always brilliant, a figure admired from afar but not approachable, yet in front of Zhou Yuan, he could completely relax.

He could eat breakfast without brushing his teeth first; she said brushing afterward was just the same.

When he spent a long time in the bathroom, she would thoughtfully ask him, “Brother Cheng, are you constipated? Should I buy you a laxative?”

Sometimes she would sniff his breath, and if it was bad, she’d say he was overheated, then try to cook some cooling soup for him.

How could he lose someone as good as Zhou Yuan?

He made another call to Mr. Zhou.

Mr. Zhou said Yuanyuan was alright now, having gone to a relative’s place, but did not specify where.

Left with no other choice, Gu Cheng called Assistant Bai to ask him to find her.

Ten minutes later, Assistant Bai’s call came.

“Mr. Gu, Yuanyuan boarded a high-speed train to Yun City.”

Yun City?

…
Zhou Yuan took a nap and woke up to the enticing aroma of food.

She was hungry again!

Her belly swelled, and her appetite grew; sometimes, just two hours after eating, she was hungry again.

Having had enough sleep, she felt refreshed and got out of bed. She saw Su Meimei cooking in the kitchen, with two children sitting by the dining area.

She remembered, they were the orphans of martyrs that Su Meixi had mentioned.

Fang Xia and Fang Shuai quickly greeted Zhou Yuan politely, “Auntie…”

Soon, they corrected themselves, “Hello, Sister.”

Although Zhou Yuan was pregnant, she wore children’s clothes and looked young, appearing like a sister not even in her twenties.

“Hello, I’m Zhou Yuan. Introduce yourselves,” said Zhou Yuan with a smile.

Fang Xia and Fang Shuai introduced themselves. Before long, Su Meixi brought out a plate of stir-fried vegetables and said to the siblings with a smile, “This sister is my sister-in-law.”

The siblings could hardly believe it, she was so young, and already a sister-in-law!

“Go wash your hands, and then we can eat,” Su Meixi said.

All three of them went to wash their hands.

During the meal, Fang Xia and Fang Shuai couldn’t stop marveling at Zhou Yuan.

How could a sister eat so much?

Zhou Yuan asked, “Why are you looking at me? Eat your food.”

Fang Xia glanced at the chicken wings on the plate; out of eight, Zhou Yuan had eaten six.

Zhou Yuan, dividing the remaining two between the siblings’ plates, said, “I noticed you weren’t taking any, so I took a few more. Hahaha, sorry about that. If you want more, I can buy some for you; Sister has plenty of money.”

Fang Xia and Fang Shuai found Zhou Yuan very adorable, so they didn’t mind the matter with the chicken wings.

…

After dinner, the siblings washed the dishes.

When Zhou Yuan saw a piano in the living room, she couldn’t help but ask, “Whose piano is this?”

Su Meixi replied, “It was left by a military wife who lived here before. She said it’s for Gu Wei, who can play.”

Zhou Yuan said, “May I play it for a bit?”

“Of course.”

Zhou Yuan sat down and played an old song, it was Zhang Guorong’s “Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter.”

It was a very old song, the melody was melodious and gentle, very healing, like an old friend whispering in your ear that everything will be alright.

Su Meixi found Zhou Yuan’s piano playing very pleasant, so she sat on the sofa and listened quietly. The children, having finished doing the dishes, also came over to listen.

The amazement in the children’s eyes was evident; the piano sounded much better than when Teacher Bao Min played.

Teacher Bao Min often hit the wrong notes and had to start over.

…

At that moment, Bao Min was passing by outside when she heard the piano music, and she was stunned for a moment.

Such exquisite pianism couldn’t possibly be Su Meixi’s playing, could it?

That day when she made a home visit, she had also seen the piano inside. Later, she asked Fang Xia who could play it, and Fang Xia said Su Meixi couldn’t play; no one had touched that piano.

Bao Min thought to herself: It must be their speaker playing.

It had to be.

…

Zhou Yuan didn’t play for long, as the siblings still had homework to do.

With nothing else to do, Zhou Yuan watched the siblings do their homework.

Meanwhile, Su Meixi’s phone rang again.

It was Gu Cheng.

It looks like Gu Cheng had already found out Zhou Yuan was at her place.

She stepped outside to answer, “…Yes, Yuanyuan is here with me, but if you haven’t sorted out things with your ex-girlfriend, then I suggest you not come over… I’m not trying not to be on your side, you’re my respected elder brother, and I hold you in high regard, but I am also a woman, and I know how deeply Yuanyuan loves you, and women can be the pettiest in love. She’s still a young girl, not yet at the point where she can pretend to be magnanimous while actually being upset inside…”
