Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 326 - : Found a Soul Mate
Chapter 326 -326: Found a Soul Mate
The eventual outcome was that Li Yu found Han Fengmao, who won the lawsuit for her and got her house back.
It was precisely because both Han Fengmao and Li Hengze were into their second marriage, had both been deceived before, and complemented each other’s family background—one wealthy and the other knowledgeable—that Han Fengmao introduced Li Yu to Li Hengze, thinking it would be perfect if they ended up together.
At this moment, Li Hengze was sitting face to face with Li Yu.
Han Fengmao excused himself, saying he had something to attend to and left first.
Li Yu picked up a glass of alcohol, took a sip, then asked Li Hengze, “Do you only have this one bar? How much is the revenue?”
Li Hengze gave a forthright answer: “The revenue of the bar isn’t much, after all, it’s a quiet bar. People come in for a drink, listen to music, and so on, making about three hundred thousand a year. The main point is just to keep busy, not relying on it for living, but depending on dividends from family shares and such, which can be a few million at least, or tens of millions at most.”
Li Yu commented, “You seem quite honest. Aren’t you afraid that I’m just getting close to you for the money?”
Li Hengze chuckled, “Being deceived for money doesn’t matter, just don’t deceive me emotionally. I can afford to lose money, but I don’t want to lose in love again.”
Li Yu’s heart ached severely.
She once loved her ex-husband so much, yet ended up being betrayed. The mere thought was like a knife to her heart.
Although she had won the lawsuit and recovered her house, it didn’t bring her internal satisfaction.
She ended up selling the house at a low price.
After taking another sip of alcohol, she said, “Yeah, anything but emotional deception is tolerable. How should I put it? I know I’m not the currency that everyone will always love, but if you fall out of love, just tell me early. I won’t cling on.”

Then she took another two sips of her drink.
Li Hengze watched her; under the colorful yet dim neon lights, her face seemed to be filtered, exuding a kind of broken beauty.
Li Yu had a cold and aloof appearance, the type of strong woman that Li Hengze fancied.
Li Hengze said, “I feel the same. I used to be foolish, always believing that as long as I treated others well, they would entrust their hearts to me. But in the end, it was just wishful thinking.”
The two of them drank together, sip by sip, seemingly finding a kindred spirit, their hearts gradually drawing closer.
…
This month, Su Meixi’s period arrived on schedule again.
After putting on a sanitary pad in the bathroom, she returned to Gu Wei’s side, dejectedly saying, “Aunt Flo came to visit again.”
Gu Wei was still reading in bed. Hearing Su Meixi’s words, he also felt a bit disappointed, but seeing how low Su Meixi’s mood was, he didn’t know what else to say, trying to comfort her: “It’s okay, we’re still young. Now many people have children in their 40s. You’re only 30 at the moment.”
Su Meixi hadn’t told him that she had already been checked at the hospital. She simply replied, “Yeah, I talked with Yuanyuan yesterday; she feels so tired taking care of her child, even with domestic help and a nanny, and her mother often coming over to help. But she still feels exhausted, probably emotionally exhausted because she always feels that a mother loves her child the most.”
Gu Wei cooed, “Yeah, having a child certainly binds you. We haven’t finished setting up our home yet, so there’s no rush.”
After a moment of thought, Gu Wei added, “Maybe it’s not a problem with you but with me.”
In her heart, Su Meixi thought: You’re really good at spotting problems.
“Then what do we do? Should you go get checked out at the hospital?” she asked in a joking tone.
“Yeah, I’ll see when I have the time to go,” Gu Wei said.
Seeing his positive attitude, Su Meixi quickly said, “You should focus on work for now. You’re just starting your career, and you’re so busy with endless meetings. Let’s talk about this again in a few months, okay?”
“Well… that works.” Gu Wei put the book down, kissed her, then added, “I’ll go and brew you some brown sugar ginger tea.”
“Thank you, hubby.” She also kissed him several times.
…
Wang Bing was moving and called Su Meixi to let her know, asking her to come over for a housewarming meal when she had time.
Su Meixi promised she would come.
She had planned to bring Gu Wei with her, but he had to go on a site visit that day, so Su Meixi had to go by herself.
When she arrived, she realized that Wang Bing had not only invited her, but also Qiu Shuai, Li Hengze, and Ah Sun among others.
Ever since the incident where Qiu Shuai and Li Hengze looked up Su Meixi’s information, the relationship between these two hefty guys had been getting better and better. They often agreed to eat out together and competed over who could eat more.
Li Hengze had lost 20 pounds due to a divorce but now seemed to be on the verge of gaining it back.
Li Hengze also brought Li Yu with him; the apartment was only eighty-something square meters, and the living room wasn’t very big – now it was as crowded as could be.
Wang Bing was on edge. She whispered to Su Meixi, “I was just being polite with the invitation, after all, I managed to buy this place all thanks to Hengze, so I just gave him a heads up. Then there’s Qiu Shuai; I invited Ah Sun at the time, and Qiu was there too, so I jokingly said if he was free, he could join for a meal. I didn’t expect they’d take it so seriously and all show up!”
Su Meixi asked with a smile, “So you didn’t even have enough food prepared, did you?”
“I did prepare enough: shrimps, crabs, and my specialty lamb hotpot. Now, I’m just worried that they’ve got a taste for finer foods and won’t enjoy these offerings of mine.”
Su Meixi couldn’t help but say, “How could they not enjoy it? It’s all food, right? Don’t worry, whatever you have is fine to serve them with; I’ll help you host.”
Ah Sun was also helping to host.
Not wanting to leave the guests hanging around, he spontaneously started playing the guitar and singing for them.
Qiu Shuai and Li Hengze, who both ran bars, were used to listening to music often and therefore weren’t too impressed, but Li Yu and Su Meixi enjoyed it.
Ah Sun usually sang upbeat songs at the bar to get the atmosphere going, but now he softened the mood with some slower folk songs. Listening to him, everyone was soon drawn in by his singing.
The spring breeze was blowing in from the balcony, stirring the curtains, seemingly attracted by Ah Sun’s singing as well.
Su Meixi once again felt a thing called friendship.
Although they hadn’t known each other for long, they were around the same age and got along well. Such fate was not to be sought for.
After listening to a few songs, Wang Bing called everyone over to eat.
Wang Bing had great culinary skills; her special lamb spine hotpot was exceptional. Qiu Shuai also brought what was said to be a fine bottle of red wine. The whole bunch of people ate and teased each other from time to time.
Qiu Shuai raised his glass to congratulate Li Hengze: “Brother Ze, congratulations on finding a new start. I think Sister Yu is quite nice, a very righteous person.”
Li Hengze glanced at Li Yu, his cheeks were already slightly red, perhaps from the wine or something else.
“I… am too fat, afraid that nobody will like me.”
“What’s wrong with being fat?” Qiu Shuai said, unconvinced: “It’s all the result of ability to eat. Being able to eat is a blessing. Right, Sister Yu?”
Li Yu laughed: “Nothing’s set in stone yet, quit talking about us. I think the better match here is Ah Sun and Sister Bing.”
