Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 120 - Spending Gu Wei’s Money
Chapter 120: Chapter 120 Spending Gu Wei’s Money
Su Meixi naturally agreed.
Cousin Qiu Wenyin’s return was on the twenty-eighth of the lunar year, flying back from the UK.
Therefore, Su Meixi was also responsible for picking her up.
Even though there was a driver at home, Qiu Yurou insisted that Su Meixi drive, saying that with the New Year upon them, the driver had not been able to go home for the holidays to be with his wife and children for years, so he was given time off.
Su Meixi drove the Land Rover that Gu Wei had bought for her; it was originally registered in her name and hadn’t been transferred.
Driving the long-missed car, she couldn’t help but think of the early days when she first met Gu Wei, and so, even on this damp and cold day, her heart was filled with strength.
...
For her future with Gu Wei, she must endure.
She had no expectations that Qiu Yurou would like her, she just hoped Qiu Yurou knew she wouldn’t give in, no matter what tricks Qiu Yurou used, she couldn’t separate her and Gu Wei.
The airport was reached, but private cars couldn’t enter, so she had to wait outside.
Then Qiu Yurou ordered Su Meixi to go in to meet her cousin.
Su Meixi didn’t mind, thinking it was just the lift of a hand.
The flight was delayed, and she waited half an hour before meeting Qiu Wenyin.
Qiu Wenyin looked like the type of girl who had been pampered since childhood, delicate, slender, and fair-skinned; even though her suitcase was to be wheeled along, it seemed very cumbersome to her.
“You’re my sister-in-law?” Qiu Wenyin looked Su Meixi up and down.
Her aunt had said yesterday that this sister-in-law came from a poor family and had no merits other than being pretty, with a seductive voice capable of enticing men.
Therefore, Qiu Wenyin’s gaze at Su Meixi was filled with contempt.
She pushed her suitcase in front of Su Meixi, “I’ve been on a plane for so long, I’m exhausted, carry it for me please.”
Su Meixi looked at the suitcase, thinking that it wasn’t tiring at all to wheel it.
But thinking she might really be exhausted from the long flight and the jet lag, she took it over, “Cousin, this way, your aunt has already been waiting for half an hour.”
“My aunt is so good to me, she loves me the most,” Qiu Wenyin immediately bounced to life.
She showed no sign of needing to adjust to the time difference.
Su Meixi had no choice but to carry the suitcase behind her.
After leaving the airport, Su Meixi put Qiu Wenyin’s belongings in the trunk and then went to drive.
In the back, Qiu Wenyin was hugging and cooing to Qiu Yurou, they were like mother and daughter, probably sharing a good relationship.
And Su Meixi was just like a driver.
“Mom, where are you planning to eat later?” Su Meixi asked.
Qiu Yurou then asked Qiu Wenyin, “Wenyin, what do you want to eat? Your sister-in-law is treating.”
“…” When did Su Meixi say she was treating?

Qiu Wenyin immediately said, “Then I won’t be polite, I want to go to Shang Shi.”
Shang Shi was a restaurant well-known among Feng City people, with an average consumption of two thousand per person, and if one ordered some particularly expensive items, it would be more than two thousand per person.
“Back in the UK, I thought about the food at Shang Shi every day,” Qiu Wenyin said coquettishly.
“Okay, then let’s go to Shang Shi. Xiao Su, it’s rare for your cousin to come back, treat her to a meal,” said Qiu Yurou.
Su Meixi’s heart bled, but she still drove the car to Shang Shi.
Qiu Yurou asked for a private room, and once seated, the waiter came over with the menu.
Qiu Wenyin was the first to grab the menu and then began to order, “Three servings of French foie gras, three servings of Australian baked dragon, three servings of Ankang fish…”
The young lady picked all the expensive items.
In the end, she added, “And a bottle of ’82 Lafite.”
After ordering, she passed the menu to Su Meixi, “Cousin-in-law, do you have anything to add?”
Su Meixi had been restraining herself the entire time. On the surface, she appeared very elegant and poised, as if dining in such restaurants was not new to her, but rather part of her natural demeanor from a young age, accustomed to frequenting upscale venues.
“I don’t have anything to add. Let’s see if mom has anything to add.”
Qiu Yurou, intent on fleecing Su Meixi, said with a smile, “Xiao Su won a lot of money yesterday, so she probably won’t fuss over this little bit of dining expense. I’ll go ahead and order some more items then.”
Once she spoke, she ordered another long list of expensive items.
When the dishes were served, the food in front of the three people nearly covered the entire table. Let alone three people, even five more would not be able to finish it all.
Qiu Yurou deliberately looked at Su Meixi, wanting to see her blow up.
Children from ordinary families couldn’t stand such wastefulness.
However, Su Meixi continued to act like the host, “Mom, cousin, please start eating. If you can eat, then eat more. If something is not to your taste, then we’ll order something else.”
Qiu Wenyin looked at Su Meixi with puzzlement: “Cousin-in-law really won quite a bit of money. You’re unusually generous today!”
Su Meixi said with a smile, “It’s not that I’m being generous. I wouldn’t want to use my own money—after all, it wasn’t easy to win it back. In a moment, I’ll use Gu Wei’s card. He gave me a black card before, and I haven’t used it yet.”
“A black card?” Upon hearing that, Qiu Wenyin’s face turned green right away.
She didn’t even have such a card. In the whole of Feng City, there were only 10 available.
Hearing this, Qiu Yurou also turned pale.
Gu Wei had actually given his black card to Su Meixi. To think, that black card could be swiped for tens of millions each day.
“Mom, cousin, please eat,” Su Meixi urged them. “Don’t be shy, if it’s not enough, we can order more later.”
With that, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating first.
The big table of dishes was mostly just large plates: 30CM plates holding just two pieces of foie gras, which could be eaten in two bites.
Soon enough, Su Meixi had cleared several plates.
When the waiter came around, it was her plates that were mostly collected.
Qiu Wenyin was the most adept at reading the room. Seeing that her aunt was not very happy, she took a jab at Su Meixi: “Eating here, there’s no need to rush as if it’s your first time eating, and nobody is competing with you.”
“Am I rushing?” Su Meixi asked. “This is how I normally eat. Surely I can’t force myself to take tiny bites just because it’s a different restaurant? Wouldn’t that be too pretentious?”
Qiu Wenyin sneered, “A wild boar can’t appreciate fine bran.”
Then she turned to cajole Qiu Yurou: “Auntie, eat too. You should try these deep-fried lobster prawns.”
Qiu Yurou said, “I don’t have an appetite. You eat.”
At home, when Su Meixi cooked, Qiu Yurou always said she had no appetite and ate very little.
Now, hearing that Gu Wei had given the black card to Su Meixi, she felt so stifled that she indeed had no appetite.
This made Qiu Wenyin also hesitant to eat freely.
Thus, the one who enjoyed the meal the most was Su Meixi.
Ordinary people coming here—if they spent an average of two thousand per person—would generally not be full, tasting the food more than anything else.
Seemingly with a tableful of dishes, Su Meixi herself polished off two-thirds and downed half a bottle of wine, eating to the point of discomfort, feeling utterly satisfied.
Seeing her hearty appetite only depressed Qiu Yurou even more.
…
When the meal was over, Su Meixi called the waiter over to swipe the card and pay the bill.
Before swiping the card, she also felt nervous. After all, this card had been given to her by Gu Wei a long time ago, and in between, they had discussed getting a divorce, so she had left the card at Yang Guang Garden.
Now that Qiu Yurou wanted her to return to the Gu Family, she saw that the card was still lying on the table and brought it with her on impulse. Hence, she didn’t know whether the card would still work. What if Gu Wei had canceled the card?
The meal totaled twenty thousand, but luckily, the card was functional, it beeped and the payment was deducted.
