Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 263 - She Gave Up

Chapter 263: Chapter 263 She Gave Up

Chapter 263 -263 She Gave Up

Meixi didn’t even know how she had made it home.

After getting home, she went straight to her room, lay on her bed, didn’t turn on the light, and just stared into the darkness.

There were some things she hadn’t expected before, but once she had them, she started to expect them.

Those women who return to their parental homes in a huff after being belittled by their husbands must feel very self-assured.

Those who have children and occasionally take them to their grandparents for a vacation, do they revert to being a princess?

And those who are still cherished by or cherish their mothers at fifty, how blissful must that be?

She had been fantasizing about these things recently.

How silly!

Many things, once lost initially, are lost forever.

Just like tonight, when Xi Wanlin attempted suicide, all she saw was a daughter making a mistake and being willful; as long as she threw a tantrum, her parents would eventually give in.

Such a concession was something she could never have in her lifetime.

If she were to make a fuss, what she would awaken wouldn’t be parental love but disdain from Xi Huarong and Li Shirui; without 30 years of emotional foundation, they would see her as a narrow-minded person, unable to tolerate others.

Her phone, set to silent and do not disturb, occasionally flashed light by the bedside.

She knew, someone would be looking for her today.

But she didn’t want to see anyone.

So, she quietly fell asleep.

Until the next day, when Meixi woke up, she found herself bathed in a layer of sunlight.

She had come back late the night before and forgotten to draw the curtains, so the sun warmly streamed in.

Suddenly, she realized something.

Yes, even the darkest night would eventually pass, the sun would always rise; relationships between people are just gathering and parting, merging and separating, all just passing figures in life.

She smiled, then grabbed her cell phone from the bedside table.

There were several calls from Xiao Fen, and some from Li Shirui.

And WeChat messages too.

Li Shirui asked her: “Xiao Xi, are you okay?”

Meixi replied: “I’m fine, Godmother.”

Li Shirui, either waiting for her reply or just happening to see it, responded quickly: “Xiao Xi, I want to see you.”

Meixi: “Godmother, I’m about to head to work, I won’t have time for a while.”

Li Shirui: “Are you blaming me and your dad? I know you found out everything, Xiao Fen has told you everything, hasn’t she? You should be calling me ‘Mom’ now.”

Meixi: “Godmother, I know you’re blaming yourself for last night’s incident, but really, you didn’t do anything wrong. Linlin loves you, and I am used to being on my own. Suddenly having a mom and dad is something I can’t get used to. Maybe we should just let things take their natural course. No one should feel indebted. Don’t you think?”

Li Shirui didn’t reply anymore, and Meixi was in a rush to go to work.

…

Those days, Meixi was on duty at the hospital, focusing solely on her work.

Xiao Fen had called her several times, but she hadn’t had time to respond. Finally, she texted Xiao Fen: “Xiao Fen, Sister Su is busy, and I’m about to further my studies. I really have no time.”

Xiao Fen sensed something and dared not contact Meixi again.

That day, Gu Wei came back.

It was only after Gu Wei came back that Meixi returned home.

Gu Wei had been away at the military base for a while, and the news about Xi Wanlin jumping off the building hadn’t reached him, so he was unaware of it.

When Gu Wei got home and hung up his coat, he hugged Meixi tightly, “How have you been these days?”

Meixi smiled, “Pretty good.”

“Did you often have meals with your godparents?”

“Not really,” Meixi said.

“What’s wrong?” Gu Wei sensed something off, “You all know about it now, you can’t act like nothing has changed.”

Meixi gave a bitter smile, then looked at Gu Wei, “Do you think that if you had married a daughter from the Xi family, it would have made you look more prestigious?”

Gu Wei seriously said, “I never depend on a woman for prestige.”

“That’s good,” Meixi smiled, “I might not contact them anymore.”

“What happened?” Gu Wei held her in his embrace.

Meixi recounted what had happened that night.

Gu Wei looked at her sympathetically.

He knew her too well; she was such a sensitive and fragile person that if she couldn’t get someone’s full sincerity, she would rather stay away.

The Xi Family had recognized the wrong daughter as their own, so she would certainly not really return to the Xi Family.

Meixi was right, the Xi parents and Xi Wanlin had developed various unspoken understandings over 30 years of living together, knowing what the other intended with each gesture.

If Meixi tried to integrate with them, she could only watch their natural familial affection unfold before her, feeling like an outsider; where everyone was polite and considerate, not to mention intimate hugs, even a slight temper would be seen as ignorant.

She couldn’t blend in.

In that case, it was better not to have it at all.

Seeing Gu Wei didn’t object, Meixi couldn’t help but embrace him: “Actually, the only sincere affection in the world I’ve ever had, is yours. You must never let me down, because if you do, I will stay far away from you, and never want to see you again.”

Gu Wei hugged her, “Ah Xi, I will never let you down.”

…

As the New Year approached, the weather grew colder.

These days, Meixi occasionally received some gifts, such as winter coats and warm shoes and socks.

She knew they were either sent by Li Shirui or Xi Wanfen.

She would accept them and then store them in the utility room.

One day after work, she saw Secretary Chen at the hospital entrance.

“Miss Su, Mr. Xi would like to see you,” Secretary Chen pointed to a sedan not far away.

Meixi glanced at it, knowing she couldn’t avoid it, and followed Secretary Chen to the car.

Xi Huarong was inside, he smiled at Meixi, “Xiao Xi, long time no see.”

Meixi nodded, “Yes, long time no see.”

“You’ve been unwilling to see us these days, so I came to see you.”

Meixi said, “Sorry, I’ve really been busy, there’s a lot going on at the hospital.”

“If you really want to meet, there’s always time. We understand how you feel. That night on the rooftop, you saw us hugging Linlin, and then you distanced yourself from us.”

Meixi said, “Maybe I don’t know what’s good for me.”

“Xiao Xi, if we hadn’t appeared, if Linlin hadn’t threatened suicide, would you have gradually accepted us?” Xi Huarong asked.

Meixi looked ahead, “I’m not sure, but many things, if missed at the start, are missed for a lifetime. Mr. Xi, I think we shouldn’t force things. My current life suits me well.”

“But your mother and I deep down prefer you, our own daughter. I know you are disappointed in us, but can we not sever ties? I want to see you happy.”
