Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 300 - The Role of Having Relatives at One’s Maternal Home

Chapter 300 -300 The Role of Having Relatives at One’s Maternal Home

“Can I have a word with you?” Xi Huarong said.

“Sure,” Qiu Yurou had already more or less guessed the identity of the person in front of her.

His eyebrows and eyes resembled Su Meixi’s quite a bit, no doubt this was the high-ranking official and biological father of Su Meixi mentioned in rumors.

The two of them found a place to sit down.

Anyone passing by would greet Xi Huarong with respect.

Xi Huarong handed Qiu Yurou a business card and said, “We should be considered relatives by marriage now.”

Qiu Yurou took the business card and glanced at the official title, taking a deep breath inwardly.

This was support for Su Meixi. With such a rank, he might even extend his reach to Feng City, and moreover, he could influence Gu Wei’s future.

What kind of dumb luck had Su Meixi stumbled upon.

“Our relative by marriage is quite capable,” Qiu Yurou said.

“Not bad, it’s all been fought for with my life,” Xi Huarong smiled and then started to make small talk, “Did you arrive in Yun City yesterday? By plane?”

“Yes, it took about two hours by plane.”

“That’s quite close. Although Yun City isn’t as economically developed as Feng City, it is a famous tourist city. You should come visit more often; I’ll make sure to take good care of you.”

“Definitely. You should also visit Feng City when you get the chance. The food there is quite famous,” Qiu Yurou said.

“Of course, I will. I heard you have an elder son, and recently had a grandson, right? Congratulations, it’s quite something these days for young people to have children—it’s not easy to have a grandchild.”

“That’s for sure.” Qiu Yurou’s mood brightened when her grandson was mentioned, “My grandson is really cute, over a month old and already weighing 9 pounds.”

“That strong?”

“He’s gained more than 2 pounds in a month.”

“…”

Su Meixi, Gu Wei, and Wan Manyu were sitting together having a meal, and she occasionally glanced at Qiu Yurou and Xi Huarong not far away.

The two of them seemed to be chatting happily about God knows what.

But that was the kind of intimidating presence Xi Huarong had; once he intended to get close to someone, he could make the conversation very pleasant.

It was only because Su Meixi had firmly decided not to deal with him that they never managed to connect.

“Wan Manyu asked Su Meixi, “I heard that both your biological parents are in Yun City, so this trip of yours is quite coincidental. The person sitting with your godmother, that’s your dad, right?”

“Theoretically, yes,” Su Meixi said.

“Your dad is quite capable. When I arrived, I was joking with your godmother about what it would be like to meet Su Meixi’s biological father, wondering if it would be awkward. Your godmother was so sure that it would never happen, but now she’s been drawn into a conversation with him, and they’re chatting so enthusiastically.”

Su Meixi gave a dry laugh.

Wan Manyu continued, “Your godmother likes capable people. Before she came, she thought, ‘Isn’t he just another official man?’ But now, seeing your dad, she realizes he’s not just a high-ranking official; he even has a certain diplomatic demeanor, like those diplomats on TV. No wonder she likes him.”

Su Meixi smiled again, thinking to herself, he is him, and I am me.

No matter how formidable he is, it has nothing to do with me.

After the meal was over, Xi Huarong and Qiu Yurou finished their conversation. Xi Huarong said he had other matters to attend to and left first.

The rest of the family and soldiers gradually left as well.

Gu Wei went to find Qiu Yurou, “Mom, how about visiting our compound?”

“Alright, let’s sit for a while then. Man Yu and I have a flight tonight; there’s still some time.”

After saying this, she glanced at Su Meixi again.

Perhaps it was Su Meixi’s own illusion, but she felt that Qiu Yurou’s gaze had softened a lot and wasn’t filled with the usual criticisms.

Could this be the influence of having someone from her maternal home?

…

Military District compound.

Qiu Yurou and Wan Manyu entered the house together.

As soon as they entered, Qiu Yurou began to find fault, “This place is so narrow?”

Gu Wei said, “The treatment here is actually quite good, at least we have our own small building.”

Qiu Yurou sighed, “It’s not even one ten-thousandth as comfortable as our home, and who usually cleans up? It looks so messy? Nothing is neatly arranged either.”

Su Meixi said, “I usually live here alone, so I do the cleaning.”

Qiu Yurou frowned immediately, looking as if she didn’t even want to sit after entering.

Wan Manyu, on the other hand, wasn’t picky; she sat down on the sofa by herself.

“Mom, would you like some water or tea?” Gu Wei asked.

“Just give me a bottle of mineral water. I don’t drink boiled water from you guys.” What if the pot wasn’t cleaned properly?

Gu Wei then handed her a bottle of mineral water.

Wan Manyu saw orange juice in the refrigerator and took a bottle.

Qiu Yurou didn’t sit down but went upstairs to take a look.

“Why are there two children’s rooms up here?”

Gu Wei explained, “They belong to orphans of war heroes; sometimes they come to stay for a few days.”

Qiu Yurou couldn’t help but comment, “You’ve never had children of your own; how would you know how to take care of them?”

Wan Manyu tried to smooth things over, “Maybe after taking care of them for a while you understand; consider it practice in advance.”

Qiu Yurou glared at her, “Who was it that saw my grandson a few days ago and said that small children are such a hassle, scared to have one themselves?”

Wan Manyu laughed, “Babies and older children are different. I saw a baby, and babies indeed are troublesome—constantly needing a diaper change, and even got me with it once.”

Su Meixi smiled on the side.

Mother-in-laws and daughters-in-law are natural enemies, but godmothers and goddaughters got along very well.

She was an outsider, so she did not join the conversation.

“Mom, shall we have dinner here tonight?” Gu Wei asked again.

Qiu Yurou glanced at the kitchenware. The aluminum pot used most frequently by Su Meixi for boiling noodles had its bottom burned black; Qiu Yurou dared not eat from it.

“No, Manman and I need to go back to our hotel to pack our luggage and rest for a bit before we rush to catch our flight.”

“Shall I take you back?” Gu Wei said.

“Okay.”

Qiu Yurou and Wan Manyu didn’t stay long before leaving, leaving Su Meixi alone at home.

Su Meixi was also relieved.

She wasn’t used to having Qiu Yurou around, and it was better that she left.

Looking at her own sofa, which was just a bit old, what was there to fuss about sitting on it?

She turned on the TV and comfortably watched a show on the sofa.

However, she hadn’t watched half an episode before she felt drowsy and dozed off after a while.

Deep in her dream, she felt someone squeezing her into the sofa.
