Chapter 278 -278: Someone Wants to Marry the Old Master

“Bai Anzhi?”

Su Meixi remembered that Bai Anzhi had also bought a villa in the area.

Since she had gone to Yun City, she had hardly communicated with Bai Anzhi, but he would post on social media, and she occasionally saw him dating Wan Manyu.

She then signaled the security to let Bai Anzhi in.

After Bai Anzhi came in, he sat down in front of her.

He sat with one leg crossed over the other, still wearing his nonchalant demeanor, “It’s about time someone lived here. Normally, when I pass by your house, all I see are the security guards and the nanny. You’re really spending a fortune on them.”

Su Meixi smiled, “The money isn’t coming out of my salary, so I don’t mind.”

“Are you back to see Zhou Yuan? Wan Manyu was also there today. Heard it’s a boy, quite cute.”

“Yes.”

“How long are you guys staying?”

“We’ll be leaving in a few days.”

“Not staying here for the New Year?”

“No, Gu Wei’s unit still has work, and I also have shifts at the hospital.”

“Being a military wife must be quite tough, right?” Bai Anzhi asked.

“Not really, since it’s Gu Wei, I wouldn’t consider it tough,” she laughed.

“Look at you, showing off your love.”

Su Meixi laughed, “Aren’t you and Wan Manyu doing well? When are you planning to get married?”

“Pretty soon.” Bai Anzhi thought about lighting a cigarette but restrained himself when he took it out; he knew Su Meixi was a doctor, and many female doctors dislike others smoking in front of them.

He put the cigarette back into his pocket and continued, “Initially, Wan Manyu and I were just fooling around, but as it went on, I fell for her. No woman has ever caught my heart so significantly, of course, except for you. But you’re in the past now, my heart only has space for her.”

“Doesn’t she have you in her heart?” she curiously asked.

“She does, but I’m worried she sees me just as a substitute.”

Su Meixi shook her head, “You mean, you’re a substitute for Gu Wei? That’s impossible. A substitute suggests something akin, but you and Gu Wei are nothing alike.”

Bai Anzhi asked, “Then do you think she likes me?”

“If she didn’t like you, why would she spend so much time with you?”

“What if she’s just lonely?”

“She’s a strong, independent woman; if she were lonely, she could have gone back to the UK. Isn’t it nicer to stay with her parents?”

Bai Anzhi thought so too.

He then asked, “Heard you got injured again recently protecting someone? You’re quite brave.”

Su Meixi laughed, “Not exactly protecting anyone, just trying to be the hero and stand up for others, but I was too weak.”

“You’ve practiced self-defense, haven’t you? You did knock me down in the parking lot once.”

“That’s because you weren’t prepared.”

“…” Both of them ended up chatting the entire morning.

Despite Bai Anzhi typically loving to compete with the Gu Family, he was rather straightforward and treated Su Meixi as a good friend, sharing anything and everything with her.

Su Meixi, on her part, was the same with everyone—gentle and amicable. People talked to her, and she would listen, occasionally giving her opinions, making her a great listener, which was why many enjoyed speaking with her.

When it was almost noon, Gu Wei returned from the Gu Family, and Bai Anzhi took his leave.

Gu Wei watched Bai Anzhi leave, his brows slightly furrowed, “Why does he run off every time he sees me?”

Su Meixi joked, “Maybe because you look intimidating?”

“Do I?”

“Your aura alone is enough to scare anyone.”

“Are you scared of me?” Gu Wei moved to catch her.

She dodged with a laugh.

The two played around for a while before Gu Wei said, “How about we visit Grandpa this afternoon?”

“Sure.” Su Meixi indeed missed Grandpa Gu; she always remembered the grape trellis on top of his house, where it was very comfortable to sleep.

…

At three in the afternoon, Su Meixi and Gu Wei arrived at Grandpa Gu’s house.

Gu Guo’an, though quite old, was still spirited. Sometimes he would leave the old house to visit his wartime buddies, who lived all across the nation; he would stay here and there, rounding out the year.

No matter where he was, Gu Cheng would have someone secretly protecting him, ensuring his safety.

When he was not around, others would take care of his fruits and vegetables at home, so when Su Meixi entered, the place still looked lush and green.

Feng City’s winter was warm, and the roses were blooming bright red, along with large patches of purple jacaranda.

Gu Guo’an was in the yard watering his cabbage. Upon seeing Su Meixi and Gu Wei entering, he did not stop his work but just asked, “You’re here?”

Gu Wei responded, “We’re here.”

“How has everything been lately?” Grandpa Gu asked.

Gu Wei nodded, “Everything’s good.”

Grandpa Gu then returned to his work.

Aunt Zhang, the housekeeper, came out to welcome them, offering seats and pouring tea.

Gu Guo’an picked some freshly grown cherry tomatoes and strawberries for them to taste, which were very sweet.

After tasting, he went back to his tasks as if he only regarded them as visitors who didn’t require much attention.

But Su Meixi knew that this kind of elderly person, deep down, hoped his grandson was doing well; his silence was because he saw that Gu Wei was fine.

Furthermore, if his grandson genuinely needed help, he would have asked. Since Gu Wei didn’t ask, it meant he wasn’t facing any troublesome issues at the moment.

It was only during dinner that Grandpa Gu started to engage with them.

He asked Gu Wei, “I heard you’re considering changing your profession?”

Gu Wei nodded, “I’m thinking about it.”

“Where do you plan to transfer to?” Grandpa Gu had connections.

“Not sure yet, but most likely back to Feng City.”

Su Meixi hadn’t really inquired about Gu Wei’s professional change, but hearing now that Gu Wei wanted to return to Feng City made her happy.

Her attachment to Feng City was mostly due to that villa.

After all, who doesn’t love living in a large villa?

Gu Wei caught the gleam of joy in her eyes just then.

Yet, it seemed Grandpa Gu did not approve, but he didn’t show it.

Everyone was still enjoying their meal when suddenly a female voice came from outside, “Old Mr. Gu, are you home? Do you have visitors?”

Hearing the voice, Grandpa Gu didn’t even lift his head.

Meanwhile, Aunt Zhang muttered, “Third Aunt Li is here again, really can’t go a day without bothering Mr. Gu.”

“Bothering?” Su Meixi asked.

Aunt Zhang said, “Exactly, I don’t know what she’s thinking. She insists that Old Mr. Gu, being old, needs a companion. And there she goes again, trying to set him up with her own aunt.”

Gu Wei and Su Meixi looked at each other, trying not to laugh.

In this day and age, there are still such meddlesome people.

If Grandpa didn’t miss Grandma, he wouldn’t have returned to this village to retire. Wanting a companion, why look in the village? Feng City has plenty of charming elderly ladies.

Outside, Third Aunt Li, getting no response, called out again, “Old Mr. Gu, don’t be shy! What’s there to be shy about this? Men always think about women, no matter the age. You’ve seen my aunt, right? She’s 50 but looks not a day older than 40 when dressed up. It wouldn’t be a loss for you, right? And now that you have relatives visiting, why not let them help you with their opinion?”
