Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 176 - : Eating the Breakfast She Made
Chapter 176 -176: Eating the Breakfast She Made
In the early morning, Su Meixi was ready to make breakfast.
Gu Wei’s appetite had improved a lot, and he no longer had to stick to the bland millet porridge like before. He could now eat some steamed buns or egg pancakes.
But Su Meixi was a Southern person, and she didn’t know how to make steamed buns or pancakes.
Things were easier when she was in the Northwest; back then, Zhou Yuan had bought her a bunch of Divine Artifacts, including a dough mixer and an electric baking pan. Even a kitchen novice could make delicious flour-based food with those.
But in the UK, these gadgets were scarce, and she couldn’t shop on Taobao.
So, she planned to cook a pot of lean meat porridge and buy some bread and pastries from the sanatorium cafeteria.
Just as she returned to the entrance with pastries in hand, she saw Qiu Yurou and Wan Manyu approaching, with Wan Manyu carrying a thermos and some bread and pastries wrapped in paper.
Su Meixi was puzzled, “Why hasn’t Wan Manyu gone back? Didn’t her parents come over?”
Despite her genuine lack of welcome for these two, Qiu Yurou was her mother-in-law, after all. So, she greeted them.
“Mom, Manman, good morning.”
Qiu Yurou looked down at Su Meixi condescendingly, “Manman has made some breakfast for Gu Wei.”
Su Meixi hurriedly said, “I’ve also made some, there’s porridge simmering in the pot.”
Qiu Yurou, staring at the pastries in her hand, said with dissatisfaction, “Gu Wei has a Hua Country stomach. How is it good for his recovery if you let him eat these sugar-filled things every day?”
“But Gu Wei seems to be enjoying them,” Su Meixi said with a forced smile.
Qiu Yurou ignored her and continued in her bossy tone, “Let Gu Wei eat what Man Yu has made, her cooking is good. Don’t let her foreign upbringing fool you; she can make all kinds of delicious and nutritious food.”
Wan Manyu appeared rather easygoing; she smiled at Su Meixi, “Ah Xi, don’t get me wrong, I just had nothing to do, so I thought of making breakfast for Gu Wei. After all, I have been taking care of him all this time; I have feelings for him, like a doctor concerned about his patient’s condition, or a sister worried about her brother.”
Su Meixi thought, “I’d believe that when pigs fly.”
Qiu Yurou said, “Man Yu is my goddaughter; that makes her Gu Wei’s sister. It’s not too much for a sister to prepare breakfast for her brother, right?”
Just as Wan Manyu set the breakfast on the living room coffee table, Gu Wei’s voice was heard.
“Since breakfast has been brought over, let’s leave it there.”
Gu Wei came out; he had overheard everything the women said.
He glanced briefly over the coffee table and then turned to look at Su Meixi.
He wasn’t concerned about what to eat but was more concerned about Su Meixi’s emotions.
Seeing him emerge, Qiu Yurou immediately said, “Gu Wei, Man Yu has taken care of you for a month or two. She’s worried about your health and made you breakfast; don’t be ungrateful.”
“I don’t have an appetite right now; I’ll eat later,” Gu Wei said, seemingly not noticing Wan Manyu and instead walked over to Su Meixi, taking her hand.
Seeing him so attentive to her eased Su Meixi’s feelings of grievance, and she quickly let go of his hand.
Any more intimacy, and Qiu Yurou would have even more to say.
Qiu Yurou coldly said, “You should eat it while it’s hot, otherwise it won’t taste good when it gets cold.”
“I really can’t eat now; I’ll have something when I feel hungry later,” Gu Wei said, not intending to oppose his mother but also unwilling to eat what Wan Manyu had made.
Wan Manyu, who had been amiable before, now looked like she had received a huge injustice.
She looked at Gu Wei, “Gu Wei, you said you wanted to repay me.”
Gu Wei fell silent for a moment, still looking at Su Meixi.
Su Meixi didn’t want to make things difficult for Gu Wei, so she smiled and said, “Gu Wei, just eat, as long as it fills your stomach, that’s fine.”
Zhou Yuan came out at this point, looking like she had just woken up with messy hair and wearing a nightgown. Seeing the breakfast on the table, her eyes lit up, “Mom, Manman, how are you so nice, bringing breakfast over so early in the morning? Can I eat this?”
Without waiting for consent, she had already taken a spoonful and tasted it.
“This is what Man Yu made for Gu Wei!” Qiu Yurou complained discontentedly.
Zhou Yuan had again and again favored Su Meixi, and Qiu Yurou was almost at her limit with her.
Zhou Yuan let out an “Ah,” “It’s for Gu Wei? I thought I was the only one who hadn’t had breakfast. What should I do? I’ve already taken a bite. I’ve been feeling like I might be coming down with a cold recently, what if I pass it on to Gu Wei?”
Wan Manyu looked at Zhou Yuan, despising her to the extreme in her heart, but still managed a smile on the surface, “Such a big portion of breakfast and you mistook it for yours. Since you can eat it, then you might as well finish it. I’ll make more tomorrow.”
She wanted to see how much Zhou Yuan could eat.
Zhou Yuan looked at Su Meixi and gave her a knowing glance.
I can help you today, but I won’t be able to tomorrow.
Su Meixi didn’t want to trouble anyone, so she smiled and said, “Since Man Yu is willing to take on the responsibility of Gu Wei’s breakfast, then I won’t make it tomorrow. That way, I save the trouble, and Gu Wei can eat well.”
After that day, Wan Manyu really did come every day to bring breakfast.
And Zhou Yuan was unable to help any longer.
She had forced down a bowl on the first day but ended up throwing it all up.
Every time Wan Manyu brought breakfast over, Gu Wei would look at Su Meixi, and only if she said it was edible, would he eat it.
Wan Manyu and Qiu Yurou would also stay for a while, waiting for Gu Wei to finish eating and watching him undergo various recovery treatments.
There were various instruments from the sanatorium, and there was also Su Meixi’s unilateral Chinese medicine massaging, acupuncture, and moxibustion.
Initially, Qiu Yurou did not agree with Su Meixi administering Chinese therapy, but as she watched Gu Wei improve day by day, she let Su Meixi continue.
Gu Wei was now able to go for morning runs.
He could do pull-ups.
He could do push-ups.
Half a month later, the sanatorium’s experts came to assess Gu Wei’s physical condition, and the doctor in charge was shocked, saying his recovery was swift. Such a pace of recovery, besides advanced medical care and comprehensive companionship, required a strong physical foundation.
Su Meixi was genuinely delighted, Gu Wei had finally recovered!
Just as she was about to ask when he could go home, Qiu Yurou spoke up on the side, using English, as if Su Meixi couldn’t understand English, “In terms of companionship, it’s been Man Yu and me doing the work. We laid the foundation for his recovery, and that’s what led to his further improvement.”
Su Meixi smiled and said no more.
Neither did Gu Wei.
He asked the doctor, “When can I leave the sanatorium and return to my job?”
The doctor didn’t know exactly what he did, but whatever it was, a good physical condition was necessary.
“If we’re talking about being discharged to go home, then you can do that anytime. If it’s for work, then it’s best to wait another half month.”
