Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 235 - Her Background

Chapter 235: Chapter 235: Her Background?
“It was my brother,” Gu Wei said.
“Oh, the elder brother,” Su Meixi looked puzzled yet still smiled with her lips as she gazed at him, her demeanor adding to her charm and cuteness.
Gu Wei walked over to her, touched her hair, then added, “I’ll blow-dry your hair for you.”
As he drew close, she sensed what he wanted to do in a moment.
Indeed, she had been injured and recovering for a month by then, and now, as long as she didn’t strain her shoulder forcefully, it wouldn’t hurt, so if he was gentle, they could do that.
While he was grabbing the hair dryer, she asked, “What did Big Brother tell you over the phone? Is everything all right at home? I thought I heard you talk about having children just now?”
“He was asking, ‘When are you going to have a child?'” Gu Wei lied.
Su Meixi’s heart skipped a beat.
At first, she didn’t want children, so she always made him take precautions every time they did it.
Since arriving at the Military District Compound, they had stopped using protection, but he returned home infrequently, never during her ovulation, or sometimes it was simply her menstrual period, so she hadn’t gotten pregnant.
Later, when the sisters-in-law inquired why she still hadn’t had a child, she began to wonder if perhaps she was infertile or if Gu Wei was.
With that thought, she felt it was about time for her to have a child at her age.
She shyly said, “Then go take a shower after you finish blow-drying my hair.”
It was a suggestion of sorts.
He responded enthusiastically, “Sure.”
…
Xi Family.
Xi Wanlin got up early today and saw Li Shirui organizing the local products she brought back from Guang City in the living room.
“Mom, where are you going?” she asked.
Li Shirui smiled at her and said, “Isn’t it a month since your grandmother’s mourning period ended? So, I’m planning to visit Xiao Fen’s lifesaver. Xiao Fen told me her savior is recovering fast. If I don’t go now, she’ll be fully healed.”
Xi Wanlin felt a sudden shock in her heart.
She was standing on the staircase, and whether it was intentional or not, she slipped and tumbled down the stairs.
Li Shirui was terrified and dropped what she was holding, then rushed over, “Linlin, how are you?”
Xi Wanlin banged her head and pretended to faint.
Li Shirui, in a panic, told the maid to call an ambulance.
The ambulance arrived within about 10 minutes, and Xi Wanlin woke up briefly, wishing not to go to the hospital, but Li Shirui, frightened, insisted she must.
…
Xi Wanlin had a scan at the hospital; it revealed a mild concussion, nothing serious. She could go home or be hospitalized. Xi Wanlin decisively chose to be hospitalized.
Before long, Xi Wanfen and Xi Huarong also arrived.
Xi Huarong naturally cared about his eldest daughter and asked the doctor about her injury. Although it wasn’t serious, he still accompanied her in the ward for half a day.
Xiao Fen, who usually bickered with her sister, was also nervous now that her sister was injured and came to visit.
Xi Wanlin, seeing her family accompanying her in the ward, suddenly burst into tears.
Li Shirui couldn’t help but comfort her, “Linlin, the doctor said you’re fine. You can be discharged after resting for a couple of days. You don’t have to cry.”
Xi Wanlin grabbed Li Shirui’s hand, “Mom, I… I miss you.”
“Silly girl, isn’t your mom right here?”
“But lately, I’ve been having dreams that you don’t want me anymore.”
“Who else would I want if not you?” Li Shirui asked.
Xi Wanlin cried, “Not just you, but I’ve also dreamed that Dad doesn’t want me either.”
Li Shirui inadvertently glanced at Xi Huarong. He approached and consoled her, too, “They say dreams are the opposite of reality, and besides, a dream is just a dream, not the truth.”
“Then can you both promise me that no matter what, you can’t abandon me—no matter what happens, you must acknowledge me as your daughter?” Xi Wanlin continued to cry.
Xi Wanfen watched, utterly baffled, “Sis, you must have hit your head hard—you’re acting like you’re out of your mind.”
Xi Wanlin glared at Xiao Fen, then turned back to her parents, “Dad, Mom, you have to promise me.”
Xi Huarong and Li Shirui thought she was confused from the fall and nodded, which was taken as a promise.
But Xi Wanlin was not satisfied, “I want a written guarantee from you, is that okay?”
“Linlin, what’s gotten into you? Shall I call the doctor to take another look?” Li Shirui asked.
Xi Wanlin cried, “I’m not crazy, it’s just that the dream felt so real, and I felt so helpless in it.”
The couple made a written promise, borrowing paper and pen from the nurse. Xi Wanlin drafted the guarantee and had her parents sign it.
Since they were bored in the hospital ward anyway, Xi Huarong and his wife treated it like something to pass the time.
Naturally, Li Shirui also put the visit to Su Meixi on the back burner.
…
Gu Wei and Su Meixi slept until well into the morning.
Perhaps because she had lost too much blood during the assassination attempt, Su Meixi’s body was not resilient enough, and last night’s single encounter had left her exhausted.
There were some cream puffs left over from the previous night, and they had milk at home, so they were too lazy to prepare breakfast and just ate something before lounging in bed.
Su Meixi read a book while Gu Wei browsed the news on his phone.
After a while, Su Meixi looked up and saw Gu Wei staring at her.
She couldn’t help but smile, “Why are you looking at me?”
“You’re so beautiful,” Gu Wei said.
“Oh, stop it,” she said coyly.
Gu Wei drew closer to her, his expression turning serious, “Ah Xi, there’s something I want to discuss with you.”

“What is it?” Seeing his seriousness, she put down her book, indicating she was listening attentively.
Gu Wei felt that he should prepare Su Meixi psychologically, in case Su Qiang often called and she made wild guesses.
“Ah Xi, I kept it from you, but I had Big Brother investigate your background.”
“My background?” Su Meixi was both puzzled and curious, “What about my background?”
“Have you never suspected that you and Su Qiang are not blood-related?”
She paused, “I have, but I never investigated it. What difference does it make if we’re related by blood or not? Even if he’s not my biological father, then where is my real father? Why hasn’t he come to find me? So, it doesn’t really matter to me; see, I grew up just fine on my own, didn’t I?”
Gu Wei looked at her with a hint of heartache in his eyes.
Since it didn’t matter to her, he might as well tell her straight, “Last time you were injured, the hospital wanted Su Qiang to donate blood, but he ran away. Then I had Big Brother check and your blood type is not the same as his, or Fang Xin’s. I also had Big Brother run a DNA test, and it turns out you have no blood relation.”
Su Meixi was shocked for a moment, staring blankly at Gu Wei.
Not blood-related?
So the real reason they divorced and left her behind was not that they wanted to pursue happiness separately, but rather because she wasn’t their own to begin with?
