Accidentally Married to the Big Shot

Chapter 207: Chapter 207: He’s Here! Chapter 207: Chapter 207: He’s Here! Gu Wei returned home and naturally went straight to embrace Su Meixi.

“Sweetheart, you must have had a tough time while I was away. Did the siblings give you any trouble?” Gu Wei asked while taking off his coat.

“Of course not, they’re really well-behaved. I quite like them.” Su Meixi hung his coat on the rack by the door.

“I just got back and heard from Mdm. Li at the instructor’s place that they’re gossiping about my brother, calling him a cradle snatcher and a jerk. It was really unpleasant to listen to. Could it be that Zhou Yuan is spreading rumors outside?”

Su Meixi thought to herself: That’s exactly what Gu Cheng deserves.

But she didn’t want to discuss this topic with Gu Wei since one of them was brother-crazy and the other sister-crazy, and they always thought whatever their sibling did was right.

“Zhou Yuan didn’t say those things. It’s all just wild guesses from other people. Besides, your brother has indeed been unclear with that Li Zhen, which drove Zhou Yuan here. You know how people are; they’re bound to speculate when they see her arriving alone, right?”

Gu Wei replied, “Li Zhen grew up in the Gu Family from a young age. Even if she can’t be my brother’s first love, there is still some kinship there. I think Zhou Yuan is making a mountain out of a molehill and didn’t trust my brother enough. I believe my brother would definitely not mess around.”

Su Meixi: “…”

Do all men think this way?

Even if he wouldn’t mess around, he shouldn’t give his wife any reason to doubt.

That evening at dinner.

With Gu Wei back home, the Fang siblings were quite excited. Fang Xia, at that age, already knew what a handsome guy looked like, so she glanced at Gu Wei with a mixture of fondness and a bit of shyness now and then.

She thought to herself that she would look for a boyfriend who was just like Gu Wei.

Fang Shuai had always liked Gu Wei, “Captain Gu, when can we go play soccer?”

“After dinner,” Gu Wei said, “but you have to finish two bowls of rice first.”

“Sure!” Fang Shuai immediately picked up his bowl and ate quickly.

Su Meixi said from the side: “Xiao Shuai, didn’t you already play soccer after school? You have homework to do tonight.”

Fang Shuai replied, “Just a little while, is that okay Aunt Su?”

“How long is ‘a little while’?”

“Half an hour.”

“Alright,” Su Meixi agreed. “But only half an hour, not a minute more.”

Fang Shuai went to pick up a chicken wing, but Zhou Yuan had taken the last one.

Feeling a bit downcast, Fang Shuai no choice but to say, “Since you were the first to pick, I’ll let you have the chicken wing. A good man doesn’t fight with women.”

Gu Wei glared at Zhou Yuan, disliking how she fought over food with a child, but considering she was partly still a child herself, he held back.

Zhou Yuan noticed Gu Wei’s displeasure and said, “Someone here is not happy with me. He has something to say even when I eat a bit more.”

Gu Wei then spoke up, “It’s not about disliking you, but you’re being immature.”

How could she tarnish someone’s reputation so casually?

Zhou Yuan turned to Su Meixi with a look of grievance: “Sister Su, look at your husband. When he was injured in the UK, who was it that stayed by your side and took care of him? And now he tells me I’m immature? Is his brother that much mature?”

Su Meixi was exasperated.

She quickly picked up a drumstick for Fang Shuai, “Xiao Shuai, you’re going to play soccer in a bit. Eat a drumstick so you can run faster.”

See, there are two kids here. Don’t argue in front of the children, please. We’re all grown-ups.

After dinner, Gu Wei and Fang Shuai went out to play soccer, while Su Meixi tutored Fang Xia with her homework.

Zhou Yuan spent some time playing the piano.

The Mid-Autumn Festival was approaching, and the Military District was organizing a talent show. The sisters-in-law mentioned that one could sign up for it if they had a specialty. Zhou Yuan planned to perform if she had nothing else on her plate, wanting to make Su Meixi proud.

Right at that moment, Bao Min passed by again.

Bao Min stopped to listen to the piano for a while. Not a single note was wrong; it didn’t sound like live playing.

She thought to herself: As expected, another recording. This Su Meixi really likes to show off. If she can’t play, why bother with a recording, if not to make herself look good?

Since the house was full of people upstairs and downstairs, Gu Wei and Su Meixi had to be quiet when they made love at night.

But Gu Wei was too robust, and the bed was of poor quality. The legs of the bed creaked with a “squeak, squeak” sound.

They got excited and didn’t care about much else.

Downstairs, Zhou Yuan was disturbed so much that she couldn’t sleep.

The next day, Su Meixi made breakfast, and after Fang Xia and Fang Shuai ate, they went off to school. Zhou Yuan still hadn’t gotten up.

Gu Wei asked Su Meixi, “Does she usually sleep this late?”

“Not really, it’s just that today she’s a bit later than usual.”

Gu Wei said, “You’ve really had a tough time lately, having to take care of both the Fang siblings and Zhou Yuan.”

Su Meixi was about to say it wasn’t a big deal when Zhou Yuan’s room door opened, and she happened to overhear Gu Wei.

“No wonder I had nightmares, it turns out someone finds me bothersome. I came here to rely on Sister Su, not you.”

Gu Wei was at a loss for words briefly.

He had only meant that Su Meixi was having a hard time, not that Zhou Yuan was a trouble.

“What, do you think I’m here to rely on you? Don’t think that just because the house was allotted to you, Sister Su doesn’t have a stake in it.”

Gu Wei, “…”

It seemed that Zhou Yuan was being somewhat unreasonable.

Zhou Yuan didn’t pay attention to Gu Wei and noticed there was still some breakfast left on the table, so she helped herself.

Su Meixi and Gu Wei went out for a walk.

They chatted as they walked along.

Gu Wei said, “Zhou Yuan seems to be full of resentment toward my brother, and it feels like it’s all been redirected at me.”

Su Meixi said, “But I feel like you’ve got a problem with Zhou Yuan too, just because she bad-mouthed your brother. Your brother really did do something wrong.”

“Isn’t there a saying about not airing one’s dirty laundry in public?”

“Well, it’s out now, does that mean we should keep quiet about being wronged?” Su Meixi began to feel dissatisfied with Gu Wei.

Seeing Su Meixi’s attitude, Gu Wei couldn’t help but give in, “Alright then, I’ll leave her alone. My brother brought it on himself.”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Gu Cheng’s call came through.

“Brother,” Gu Wei answered the phone.

“Is Yuanyuan there with you?” Gu Cheng asked.

“Yeah, she is.”

“How has she been these past few days?”

Gu Wei was about to respond when he saw Zhou Yuan across from the soccer field.

She was surrounded by Mrs. Feng, Sister Hong, and a group of women.

Gu Wei covered the phone and asked Su Meixi, “What are they doing?”

Su Meixi replied, “Although Yuanyuan has only been here for a few days, she’s already attracted a group of ‘mom’ fans. They take her out every day to clear her mind and give her advice.”

Gu Wei couldn’t help but break out in a sweat.

He picked up the phone again and said to Gu Cheng, “Brother, if you have the time, come and take Zhou Yuan back. Though, she may not agree to go with you.”

…

The next day, Gu Cheng arrived.

As he was checking in, the gate guard was a bit worried about Gu Wei.

First it was his wife who came for refuge, then not long after, his sister-in-law, and now his elder brother. Had something happened to the Gu family? Gone bankrupt? Otherwise, why would they all come seeking refuge with Gu Wei?

Dressed smartly in a suit, Gu Cheng pulled his suitcase, walking through the Military District’s courtyard. Everyone who saw him couldn’t help but give him a few glances.

The Military District wasn’t short of handsome men, but few carried the distinguished aura that Gu Cheng did.

Even Mrs. Feng and Sister Hong saw him.

“Who is that? He really looks like a businessman.”

“More like a celebrity, right?”

“No, a businessman for sure. Celebrities don’t have that kind of composed air about them, trust me, I’ve seen the world,” Sister Hong said.

Everyone watched as he stopped in front of the Gu Wei’s family home.
