Chapter 105: Homecoming (Part )
She looked at the nurse with a scrutinizing gaze. Ruogu seemed kind and friendly, but in fact, he was very defensive.

Perhaps it was because her gaze was too powerful that the nurse began to avoid her gaze.

Ruogu chuckled and said, "My daughter and Fang Mingxu are classmates. Mayor Fang came to me for treatment when he was sick before, so our relationship is the simplest of doctor-patient relationships."

The nurse said embarrassedly: "Doctor Chen, please don't misunderstand me, I'm just curious and asked more questions, I don't mean anything else."

Ruogu gently pulled out the silver needle. She disinfected it while speaking softly:
"It's okay. Mayor Fang has been widowed for many years, so it's understandable that you would think too much, but this matter has nothing to do with me. My husband and I have a harmonious relationship and a happy family. I am not a suspect."

She directly pointed out the nurse's intention and explained her situation clearly. She didn't want to get involved in any trouble. The nurse's face turned pale and he said awkwardly:
"That's not what I meant... Can our old man leave after the injection?"

Ruogu nodded slightly and said slowly, "That's all for today. You can leave after the old man wakes up."

The nurse hurriedly thanked her. Ruogu didn't like to dwell on people's faults. Neither the Fang family nor the Zhao family had much to do with her. Some things could just be dealt with in due time. She packed up the silver needles and walked out of the ward.

As soon as Chi Zhengzheng saw her, he went up to her. She stole a glance at the ward and whispered, "Sister Ruogu, when I was disinfecting the old man just now, I found that the nurse in their family kept glancing at you from time to time. You should be more careful, because they might have bad intentions."

Ruogu raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "You usually look careless, why are you so smart today?"

Chi Zhengzheng said proudly: "There is no need to worry about other things, but Sister Ruogu's matters are all big things, how can we ignore them? Does the nurse want to do something bad?"

Ruogu looked at her alert look and felt a little amused. She scolded her, "Don't let your imagination run wild. She was just looking for information for others. It has nothing to do with me."

Chi Zhengzheng's mind worked quickly, and she said with sparkling eyes:

"The old man Zhao inside is Mayor Fang's father-in-law. Does the Zhao family think you have a close relationship with Mayor Fang?"

Ruogu said briskly, "Why do you think so?"

Chi Zhengzheng said as a matter of course: "Isn't that how it's played out in TV dramas? Mayor Fang has a bright future, and he's still relatively young in the political arena. If he remarries, he won't be the son-in-law of the Zhao family anymore, and the relationship will be distant. Then the Zhao family won't be able to count on him for anything in the future."

Her analysis didn't seem to be wrong, but Ruogu had a feeling that it wasn't that simple. She said nonchalantly, "Whatever the reason, it has nothing to do with us. Just think about your relationship with Xie Bin."

Chi Zhengzheng's face became a little hot when she heard her say this. She said awkwardly:

"I have agreed to date Xie Bin. He knows what I am worried about and said that he will protect me and give me a stable home. I just need to live happily and don't need to worry about anything else."

Ruogu frowned when she heard this. She would never believe such high-sounding words from a man. Although Xie Bin was a good person, Chi Zhengzheng's attitude of diving headfirst into the matter was not desirable.

She said in a cold voice: "So you believe what he said, and plan to stop struggling and rely on him wholeheartedly?"

Chi Zhengzheng immediately shook her head and said seriously, "I am a little bit overwhelmed now, but I am not stupid. Don't say that Xie Bin and I are not married. Even if we are married, we still have to make money. How can a man rely on you for his whole life?"

Ruogu was relieved after hearing her say that. She said slowly, "It's okay to talk about love, but you have to be cautious about getting married. After all, having a child means a lifelong bond."

Chi Zhengzheng agreed with this, and she said frankly: "With my parents' experience, how can I dare to get married easily? Sister Ruogu, don't worry, I won't be so foolish."

She opened her arms and hugged Ruogu. Since she became an adult, Chi Zhengzheng had only felt care and love from Ruogu, so she cherished this friendship very much.

Old Master Zhao slept until about two o'clock in the afternoon. After waking up, he was in very good spirits and said a few words to Ruogu before leaving.

He has been living in Mayor Fang's house during this period. Because he needs acupuncture treatment, he has to stay for a long time. The nurses take him to get acupuncture every day, and Mayor Fang will accompany him occasionally when he is free.

Ruogu and Mayor Fang were just nodding acquaintances. The two were very careful to avoid suspicion and had no private contact at all. Only then did the nurse who inquired about the news no longer doubt Ruogu.

Since the beginning of winter, there have been several consecutive heavy rains. The weather is cold and not many people go out. There are not many patients coming to the clinic for treatment. Ruogu suddenly has some free time. She sits on a rattan chair, leisurely reading and practicing calligraphy, and really enjoys this slow-paced life.

On the contrary, Yu Yuan is very busy every day. After "The Abyss" was no longer scheduled for screening, he became concerned about the cooperation projects with the Science and Technology Trade Group. When he was a director, he demanded perfection when making a movie, and now he has switched to the shopping mall and he is still striving for perfection.

It was precisely because of his work attitude that Wang Zhengjun was very satisfied with him and gave him another large order. Yu Yuan was both happy and helpless after signing the contract.

He was eager to go home, but was always entangled in trivial matters. He patiently finished the last important task, returned to the office, and immediately called Han Shuo and Ji Xi over.

Seeing them, he got straight to the point and said, "I plan to go back to Wanling tonight. Company-related matters will be handed over to you two. Han Shuo will focus on the new company, and Ji Xi will be responsible for Ruoyuan's daily work."

Han Shuo said in disbelief: "It's already the end of the year, and the invitations to the New Year's Eve parties of various TV stations are piling up. Aren't you planning on attending?"

Yu Yuan's eyes narrowed into slits as he smiled. He said lightly:
"I won't participate. I have to spend the New Year with my wife and daughter. I have to gradually reduce my workload in front of the screen, and my family will be the focus in the future. You two have to be mentally prepared."

Ji Xi rolled her eyes rudely. She was angry but dared not say anything. She stretched out her hand and pushed Han Shuo, signaling him to resist. Han Shuo said dissatisfiedly: "Even if you put family first, you shouldn't leave all the work to us. What if..."

Yu Yuan interrupted calmly, "It's nothing. I believe in your abilities. If anything happens, I will rush back as soon as possible and work remotely. You don't have to worry."

Ji Xi said reluctantly: "Brother Yuan, I still have so many artists on hand, and I already have a lot of work to do."

Yu Yuan said mercilessly: "If you are too busy, just give the artists you have to other managers. If you are short of manpower, recruit new managers. There will always be a solution."

After hearing what he said, Ji Xi had no choice but to nod and agree reluctantly. Han Shuo said with despair, "What about Teacher Xiao's variety show? Are you and sister-in-law going to participate?"

Yu Yuan was also very distressed. He really couldn't refuse politely. Teacher Xiao was too righteous. He had to repay the favor he owed. After thinking it over again and again, he said:
"I will talk to Teacher Xiao about this personally. I will discuss it with A Gu first when I get back. You don't have to worry about it."
