Accidentally Married to the Big Shot
Chapter 365: Don’t Wrong Yourself

Chapter 365: Chapter 365: Don’t Wrong Yourself

"Wealthy family? Did Gu Wei come from a wealthy family?"

"The kind with billions in asset value, what do you think?"

Grandpa Xi chuckled: "Just bragging. If he’s from a wealthy family, why would he marry a wife with no power or influence in her family? Didn’t you say that Xiao Xi is practically an orphan?"

Xi Huarong replied: "That’s what you think. Gu Wei doesn’t think so. He finds Xiao Xi very beautiful, morally upright, conducts herself well, and moreover, she’s not a social climber."

Xi Huarong didn’t directly mention Grandpa Xi, but his words were implicitly criticizing him.

Grandpa Xi felt quite discredited, "Fine, if you all treasure her, just treasure her yourselves."

"With your attitude this time, they probably won’t want to come back next time. Remember, they haven’t eaten your rice or been cherished by you for even a day, yet here you are acting all high and mighty."

Seeing Xi Huarong upset, everyone else started to echo him, criticizing Grandpa Xi for his unfair treatment of his own granddaughter.

Grandpa Xi felt so embarrassed that he didn’t even want to eat anymore.

...

Su Meixi and Gu Wei drove back together.

As they left, the sky had already turned dim.

Su Meixi felt a bit embarrassed: "Gu Wei, was I being too willful?"

While driving, Gu Wei said: "Life is just a few decades long, there’s no need to force yourself in unhappy situations. Happiness is most important. Besides, you are pregnant, and pregnant women should especially pay attention to their mood."

Su Meixi comfortably said: "Yes, I agreed to come back home only because my dad asked me multiple times. I didn’t expect that grandpa and grandma actually don’t like me. Next time, I just won’t come back."

"That’s right, we have no obligation to please others, your thinking is correct."

Gu Wei added: "There are snacks in the car, if you’re bored you can have some snacks."

Touching her belly, Su Meixi said: "No, I ate too much for dinner. Even though I didn’t win over grandpa and grandma’s affection, I did have a full meal, so it’s not a loss."

"Then you must enjoy banquets, next time I see someone in hometown holding one, I’ll take you there. You’ll definitely be popular."

Su Meixi then laughed.

She was worried that Gu Wei might be too tired from driving, and said: "You’re going to be driving for ten hours today, won’t you be very tired?"

Gu Wei replied: "Who said I’m driving for ten hours? We’re not in a rush to get back to Yun City."

"Not returning to Yun City? Then where are we going?"

"We will find a hotel in the city tonight, and tomorrow we’ll visit some nearby attractions, try some local specialties, and enjoy our journey back leisurely."

Su Meixi clapped her hands in excitement: "That’s a really good idea!"

So, they found a hotel in the city and stayed there that night.

It had been a long time since they stayed in a hotel. After settling in, Su Meixi lazily watched TV and then cuddled with Gu Wei as they drifted off to sleep.

With Gu Wei by her side, she felt secure, allowing her to sleep soundly even in a strange hotel.

...

In the countryside.

Xi Wanfen was soaking her feet.

Every time she visited, she didn’t take a bath; firstly, she wasn’t accustomed to bathing at her grandparents’ house and secondly, the weather was cold, so it didn’t matter whether she washed her feet or not.

Grandpa Xi and Grandma Xi were also in the living room, soaking their feet and chatting.

"Wanfen, have you had any boyfriends recently?"

Xi Wanfen replied: "I had one, but we broke up."

"Oh, why did you break up? Did he not approve of you?"

Xi Wanfen responded: "Why does it always have to be about someone else not approving of me, instead of me not approving of them?"

"Every time you came back with Linlin, Linlin was sensible, polite, and did well in her studies. You, on the other hand, had poor grades, hardly spoke, and were all muddled."

Xi Wanfen: "..."

I should have gone with my sister and brother-in-law.

Why did she have to think of the bigger picture?

Xi Huarong also spoke up for Xi Wanfen: "You don’t know the situation, Xiao Fen and that boyfriend broke up because of incompatible personalities. Where do you see youngsters getting married the moment they start dating nowadays? Some might go through several relationships."

Grandpa Xi shook his head, wiping his feet and said, "In our times it was better, we married only one wife for life, unlike these young people today, dating on and off, you despise me I despise you. Especially some girls, they don’t do their duties after getting married, they just want their mother-in-law to help and serve them, acting like they are ancestors."

Xi Wanfen: "..."

She even doubted if her parents had told Grandpa everything.

Xi Huarong laughed: "It’s natural not to want your own hard-raised daughter to marry into someone else’s family to cook and do chores. If she really liked doing those, wouldn’t there be chores in her own home? Why go to someone else’s place to do them?"

Grandpa Xi only countered the younger generation, never daring to argue with his son. He knew that every time he complained about his daughter-in-law or granddaughter, Xi Huarong would definitely stand up for them, so talking more was pointless.

...

After Xi Wanfen washed her feet, she returned to her room.

Every time she returned to the countryside, she stayed with her cousin, but her cousin hadn’t come back yet this year, so she stayed in a room by herself.

Because Grandpa Xi mentioned her issue, she felt somewhat irritated.

Unable to sleep, she went out and took a photo.

The moon hung on the treetops, shy and blooming.

She captioned it: Hello, Moon God!

After posting, she waited for her friends to like it.

She actually didn’t have many friends, most of the people in WeChat were just there for liking posts.

The first one to like it was surprisingly Qiu Shuai.

She was startled for a moment, when had she added him?

Was it that time her sister said appearances can be deceiving?

The reason she accepted Qiu Shuai back then was thinking they wouldn’t interact much, just another person for likes.

She paid no attention to Qiu Shuai, but then he took the initiative to send a message: [Xiao Fen, how come the moon is so bright where you are? I see no moon in Yun City tonight.]

Xi Wanfen thought about not replying, but felt it would be rude.

She replied with a smiley face, nothing more.

But Qiu Shuai didn’t take the hint, he kept asking: [Aren’t you in Yun City? Where did you go for fun?]

Xi Wanfen thought to herself: What’s it to you?

But she didn’t type that out, continuing with another smiley face.

Qiu Shuai’s message came again: [Why are you always smiling at me tonight? Is it because I’m handsome?]

Xi Wanfen thought: You sure are confident.

But she did not feel it was appropriate to reply with a smiley face again, so she started typing: [Not in Yun City, a bit busy now.]

Qiu Shuai showed understanding: "If you’re busy, then I won’t disturb you."

Seeing that he really didn’t send any more messages, Xi Wanfen suddenly felt a bit lonely.

She did this friends circle post, but because the copy and the picture were ordinary, there were hardly any likes, let alone people coming to chat.

Still, Qiu Shuai was attentive, reaching out to talk to her.

She then replied to him: [Aren’t you busy?]

Qiu Shuai’s message quickly came back: [Not busy at all. I’m a bar owner, I just take care of the money, I don’t have to handle anything else, others do that.]

[Don’t you have to drink with customers?]

[Of course not, I’m not a companion drinker, though I make exceptions for good friends, and you too.]
