Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 296 - : Want to Be Her Little Brother
Chapter 296 -296: Want to Be Her Little Brother
“It’s my shoulder that hurts, I wonder if it’s periarthritis. It’s been quite painful lately,” Qiu Shuai said as he rubbed his thick shoulder.
Su Meixi looked at him, “Stretch your arms out to the sides.”
Qiu Shuai did so.
Su Meixi rose from her seat, took one of his hands, pulled it back a bit, then grabbed the other hand to touch the first one.
“Does this hurt?”
“A bit.”
“Minor periarthritis. I’ll prescribe some ointment for you. Pay and then pick up the medicine.”
Upon finishing, Su Meixi pressed the buzzer for the next patient.
Qiu Shuai quickly smiled, “Dr. Su, I know your husband Mr. Gu. He was at my bar just a few days ago.”
“You own a bar too?”
“Yes.”
Why do all the fat guys own bars? Su Meixi thought.
Isn’t Xi Wanlin’s husband, Li Hengze, a bar owner too?

The next patient had already come in, so Su Meixi asked, “Do you need anything else? If not, I need to get back to work.”
“Dr. Su, let’s exchange WeChat contacts. If my shoulder has more issues, I might need to consult you.”
Su Meixi said, “If it still hurts later, just come register directly. I hardly ever look at my phone.”
“That’s fine, that’s fine,” Qiu Shuai didn’t persist.
…
In the evening, Su Meixi finished her shift.
Just as she left the hospital, she felt someone following her.
She looked back and saw Qiu Shuai and a man about thirty, dressed in flamboyant attire and wearing a chunky gold chain.
Qiu Shuai, young, appearing only around 25, but the thirty-year-old man seemed to take orders from him.
With many people at the hospital entrance, Su Meixi wasn’t afraid. She walked straight up to them and asked, “Are you looking for me?”
At the same time, she slipped her hand into her pocket, ready to press the emergency alarm if needed.
Spotting Su Meixi’s wariness, Qiu Shuai quickly said, “Dr. Su, please don’t misunderstand, we mean no harm. I heard you were followed after work before, so I came with one of my subordinates to protect you. His name is Zhao Gongji.”
Zhao Gongji? Quite a strange name.
Qiu Shuai clarified, “It’s a nickname, his real name is Zhao Ji.”
Seeing the beautiful Su Meixi, Zhao Gongji couldn’t help but stare a few extra seconds, but knowing her status, he dared not think further.
Zhao Gongji said, “Previously, I was involved in a scheme to frame you, although you beat up those two guys who were following you. Still, our boss is worried about your safety, so he sent me to protect you after work.”
“You guys? Protect me after work?” Su Meixi asked.
Qiu Shuai grinned, “Yes, from now on, we’ll call you Sister Xi. We will be like your younger brothers.”
…
Su Meixi gave a slight, embarrassed smile, “Thanks, but I don’t need it.”
Zhao Gongji said, “Don’t say that, Sister Su. My boss is serious. To make up for it, why don’t we add each other on WeChat? I’ll be ready whenever you call.”
Su Meixi asked, “Are you just trying to curry favor with my husband?”
Qiu Shuai quickly said, “Originally, yes, but after seeing your capabilities, I do admire you.”
This chubby guy sure has a way with words.
Seeing Su Meixi was unmoved, Qiu Shuai hastily added, “Or maybe I should introduce myself in more detail. Actually, I’m a rich second generation. My family sells tea and has recently started growing coffee. Plus, we own several resorts. Sister Xi, you and Brother Wei should come vacation with us sometime; food and lodging on me.”
“Are you trying to bribe him and make him commit errors?” Su Meixi asked.
Qiu Shuai panicked, “Then, how about just being friends? I heard Sister Xi is from Feng City, new to Yun City, right? The saying goes: having more friends makes the journey easier, doesn’t it?”
“Friendships are based on fate; stop following me.” Su Meixi smiled at them.
Just as she turned around, Qiu Shuai and Zhao Gongji followed again. Su Meixi deliberately slowed her steps until Zhao Gongji caught up. Suddenly, she turned, grabbed his hand, and kicked his knee pit.
Unprepared, Zhao Gongji immediately fell to his knees.
He stared at Su Meixi in shock. What just happened? How did he suddenly get knocked down?
Su Meixi said, “See, none of you are a match for me, yet you talk about protecting me. Stop it, go back where you came from.”
With that, she quickly walked away.
Qiu Shuai stood there watching Su Meixi.
Truly impressive.
This little brother, he was determined.
…
That night, Su Meixi called Gu Wei and told him about the incident.
Gu Wei couldn’t help but mock, “Those two cowards.”
“I’m not used to dealing with these people; it feels uneven, too complicated.”
Gu Wei said, “Zhao Gongji, though he might do some unethical things for money, is actually good to his subordinates and loyal to his boss. If I hadn’t provoked him a few days ago, he wouldn’t have fought with me, nor would he have exposed Xi Wanlin. But you and he aren’t alike; a nod when you see each other will do.
As for Qiu Shuai, he might seem frivolous, but he’s actually quite cunning and scheming. If you hit it off, making a friend might not be bad.”
Su Meixi laughed, “What fate could I possibly share with him? He runs a bar, and I’m a doctor; we don’t mesh.”
“I’ll leave it to you,” Gu Wei said.
“How’s your career transition coming along?” Su Meixi asked.
“It’s finalized. There’s going to be a demobilization ceremony soon, and family can attend. Oh, and mom might come too.”
Hearing about Qiu Yurou, Su Meixi felt a bit annoyed.
But she is Gu Wei’s mother, after all, it’s only natural she would come.
“That’s fine, let me know when, and I’ll arrange my schedule in advance.”
…
Today, Su Meixi went to schedule her shifts with the chief, just having finalized when Wang Bing also came along.
Although Wang Bing was wearing a mask and glasses, her eyes were visibly red, clearly having been crying.
“Chief, I’d like to take a leave today.”
“Are you sure? You have a surgery today; if you don’t come, Dr. Zhou will be overwhelmed.”
“I… then never mind, Chief, I won’t take the leave.”
“What’s wrong?” both the chief and Su Meixi asked.
Wang Bing shook her head, “Just some family issues, wanted to take a break, but it’s okay now. I can pull myself together and make sure it doesn’t affect my work.”
“Alright, if you’ve decided to work, then work diligently.”
“I understand.”
Su Meixi was also in outpatient service today, but once she was off at noon, she went to find Wang Bing.
“Wang Bing, shall we go to the cafeteria for lunch together?”
Wang Bing took off her mask, washed her hands, and said, “Sure.”
“Wang Bing, how are the issues at home going?”
During lunch, Su Meixi asked.
