Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 52 - Su Meixi’s Suitors
Chapter 52: Chapter 52 Su Meixi’s Suitors
Mr. Zhou called Gu Cheng.
Kang Cheng Biotechnology was controlled by Gu Group, and Mr. Zhou had been worrying about not having a reason to curry favor with Gu Cheng. Now the opportunity had come, hadn’t it?
“Mr. Gu, it’s about Dr. Su that the Young Commander asked me to keep an eye on. I ran into her at dinner today, and it seems she has a lot of suitors. During the meal, she was complaining to my daughter, saying it was pretty annoying. My daughter mentioned that one of the suitors is an old childhood friend who vanished for a while and has suddenly reappeared now, posing what seems like a threat. What do you think… should we inform the Young Commander?”
Gu Cheng paused for a while without speaking.
Mr. Zhou began to feel embarrassed, thinking he had been meddling in things that weren’t his concern.
But fortunately, Gu Cheng spoke up, “My brother has returned to the army; I’ll handle this.”
“Good,” Mr. Zhou sighed in relief.
Since Gu Cheng had spoken, it meant that his discovery of the problem was timely, and his attempt to get close had been successful.
…
On this day, Su Meixi’s training class welcomed two new students, Da Xin and Xiao Xin.
Tall and well-built, neither given to smiling nor talking much.
No one knew where they came from. When asked, the response was they’d gotten in through the back door and it was none of our business.

Frankly unapologetic, everyone else was at a loss and simply stopped asking.
It appeared they knew nothing about medicine, just some techniques for dressing external wounds. When Professor Chen asked them questions in class, they would stand up and say outright, “We don’t know.”
This infuriated Professor Chen, who ordered them to listen to the lectures from outside the classroom.
Undaunted, they stood outside and attended the class.
From then on, every time it was Professor Chen’s class, they wouldn’t enter the classroom and just listened from outside.
Su Meixi thought these two were too strange, clearly just here to pass the time. People like that shouldn’t be able to make friends, right?
However, they seemed to take a special liking to Bi Yuanhang.
As soon as class ended, they would pester Bi Yuanhang to explain questions to them.
During meals, they would gather around him, and even when going to the restroom, they’d insist on taking Bi Yuanhang with them.
Their actions started to make the other students curious about them as well, and they too wanted to get closer. But apart from Bi Yuanhang, they showed no interest in anyone else.
The others just had to let them be.
This day, Bi Yuanhang had put together some class notes, intending to give them to Su Meixi.
With these notes, Su Meixi would certainly be able to understand Professor Chen’s lectures and thus avoid his criticisms.
However, before he could get to Su Meixi, Da Xin suddenly appeared.
“Yuanhang, what’s that in your hand?”
“Notes,” Bi Yuanhang said.
“If they’re notes, why not leave them on the desk?” Da Xin snatched the notes away in an instant.
“I…” Bi Yuanhang returned to his seat and admitted, “I intended these notes for Dr. Su.”
Then Xiao Xin approached, “Dr. Bi, don’t favor love over friendship. I want those notes too.”
“You? Can you understand them?” Bi Yuanhang asked.
“I’ll understand after I copy them down,” Xiao Xin sat and began to copy, pen in hand.
Bi Yuanhang was unable to snatch the notes back.
Da Xin blocked his way, and Xiao Xin was too strong.
He always felt that these two were deliberately targeting him, but he had no proof.
…
In the canteen for a meal.
Bi Yuanhang purposely got an extra serving of curry fish balls, remembering that Su Meixi had particularly liked them in junior high.
But just as he finished getting his food, Da Xin and Xiao Xin pulled him aside to sit down.
“Oh, fish balls? I like those too.”
“Me too.”
Each took two from him, leaving none that he could decently offer to anyone else.
Neither Da Xin nor Xiao Xin took advantage of him, as each of them gave him a chicken drumstick in return.
Seeing their warmly smiling faces, Bi Yuanhang couldn’t bring himself to get angry.
After such instances a few times, Su Meixi had already finished her meal.
She felt that ever since Da Xin and Xiao Xin’s arrival, her days had quieted down considerably.
She didn’t have to worry about Bi Yuanhang showing up unexpectedly, nor did she have to harshly reject his kindness any longer.
…
However, Su Meixi was, after all, a beautiful woman.
Even without Bi Yuanhang, there would always be someone who noticed her.
There was a young male doctor at Guang City Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital named Yang Ruida, who had fallen for her at first sight.
He had observed her for many days, seeing that she spent most of her time alone and didn’t go home on weekends, presumably single.
That day, he waited for her specifically outside the classroom.
His action was clear to everyone.
Another suitor!
“Dr. Su,” Yang Ruida called out to Su Meixi enthusiastically.
Su Meixi had a faint impression of him, but couldn’t remember which department he was from, only recalling having seen him during an internship with Professor Chen.
“Is something the matter?” she asked.
Yang Ruida said, “Are you free? I was thinking… I’d like to invite you for a meal.”
He was quite bold, very enthusiastic.
Bi Yuanhang saw this and wanted to go over, but was held back by Da Xin and Xiao Xin.
Even if there were new suitors, it should be them to handle it, not Bi Yuanhang.
This Yang Ruida, he caught their attention!
Su Meixi naturally refused, “I’m sorry, my lunchtime is very rushed, just going to the cafeteria is fine.”
“Then let’s go together.”
Su Meixi quickly pointed at Sister Wang, “I’m eating with Sister Wang, we’ve already agreed.”
Then she hurriedly hooked her arm through Sister Wang’s.
Sister Wang was half envious, half joking, “You, being young and beautiful, have admirers wherever you go. Actually, that’s quite dangerous.”
Su Meixi said, “It’s just every now and then, not that many. As long as I say no once, they’ll get the hint and retreat.”
…
But Yang Ruida didn’t get the hint and retreat. Instead, it seemed the more he was discouraged, the more determined he became.
That day, he bought a bouquet of flowers to give to Su Meixi.
However, when he arrived at the hospital, he found out that the flowers in the trunk had mysteriously disappeared, replaced by a brick!
He thought, girls like to drink milk tea, so maybe in the afternoon he could bring her a cup of milk tea.
“Dr. Su, this is from Happy Tea, it’s quite tasty. All the women in our department like it. Why don’t you try?”
Yang Ruida stuffed a cup of milk tea into Su Meixi’s hand.
Su Meixi immediately felt something was off.
When she opened the lid, a scent of peanut oil wafted out.
“Are you… giving me oil?”
Yang Ruida was dumbfounded. He had clearly bought milk tea, how did it turn into peanut oil?
Yang Ruida then prepared to give Su Meixi some chocolates.
Those round pieces of Ferrero Rocher that girls usually like, right?
He bought a box to give to Su Meixi.
To make it interesting, he even unwrapped one, but upon doing so, a smell of fertilizer hit his nose.
“What is this?” Su Meixi asked.
Yang Ruida unwrapped the other chocolates only to find they were all filled with fertilizer.
Su Meixi looked at him puzzled.
Yang Ruida suddenly felt it was very strange.
A sense of fear rose up from the soles of his feet; this woman, he couldn’t afford to provoke!
“I’m sorry, Dr. Su, I won’t pursue you anymore.”
Yang Ruida said and ran off.
Su Meixi took it all as a farce.
It was the first time she’d seen someone pursue another person in such a way.
…
That afternoon, they had a needle application exercise for patients with severe stroke.
The students were divided into 6 groups, each with 5 people.
Since it was Professor Chen’s class, he had conveniently excluded Da Xin and Xiao Xin.
Su Meixi happened to be grouped with Bi Yuanhang.
After all these days, Bi Yuanhang could finally interact with Su Meixi. He was overjoyed, so he took extra care of her.
He even simplified Professor Chen’s words and taught them to her again.
In fact, with all her efforts over these days, plus Sister Wang’s help, Su Meixi had caught up with the class. Even if Professor Chen used professional jargon, she could understand.
So, she didn’t really need Bi Yuanhang’s translation.
After the explanation came the needle application.
Each person was given a mannequin to practice acupuncture on.
Professor Chen watched them calmly as they practiced.
Chinese medicine emphasizes the need to be bold yet cautious, especially in needle application, which must be quick, sharp, and precise. Hesitation or mental baggage wouldn’t do, especially now that they were dealing with severe cases.
Severe cases cannot afford a second’s delay.
Professor Chen noticed that almost all of the students would hesitate momentarily when applying needles, but Su Meixi did not hesitate at all, and she remembered the acupuncture points clearly.
He looked at Su Meixi, his eyes filled with admiration.
After the class,
Bi Yuanhang came to ask Su Meixi, “Xiao Xi, how did you feel about the needle application just now? Do you want me to go over the steps with you again? I learned this in Canada as well.”
“No need,” said Su Meixi.
“But if you don’t study well and remember, then Professor Chen will criticize you again,” Bi Yuanhang asked, worried.
Before Su Meixi could answer, a voice came from behind them:
“Who said I would definitely criticize her? Am I that fierce?”
