Chapter 108 Ready to try
Zhao Rong didn't expect Ruogu to say that. She felt like she was punching cotton. The words were on the tip of her tongue but she couldn't say them nor swallow them back. She felt very aggrieved.

The nurse was afraid that she would cause trouble again, so she quickly said politely: "Thank you, Doctor Chen. I will push the old man into the ward."

Old Master Zhao is old, lacking energy and sometimes confused. He saw everything that happened just now and he knew his daughter's temper very well. Some words were useless to say, so he looked at Ruogu with some embarrassment.

Ruogu had a smile on her face and there was no anger in her eyes. As they walked, she gently asked about the old man's health. The old man could answer some of the questions himself, while others were answered by the caregiver, as if nothing had happened.

When they entered the ward, Fang Mingxu saw Huai Xi sitting on a rattan chair playing with her phone and ignoring him. He felt a little uncomfortable. He lowered his voice and said to Zhao Rong, "Aunt, don't you need to go in and accompany grandpa?"

Zhao Rong said in a harsh voice, "Of course I have to go in. What if something unexpected happens? How can I survive without family members? You and your father are too careless and always trust others easily."

Fang Mingxu frowned when he heard this. He said unhappily, "Then you can accompany grandpa when he goes to the hospital for treatment. We are not as careful as you anyway."

Zhao Rong tapped his forehead and said angrily, "You little rascal, you only know how to talk nonsense. Don't I have to work? I'm not as lucky as your aunt and the others."

Fang Mingxu hated hearing these sour words the most. He couldn't help but urge, "Then hurry in and don't waste time here."

Zhao Rong knew that Fang Mingxu was a classmate of Doctor Chen's daughter. She looked at Huai Xi and found that this little girl was better than her nieces.

She had a plain look, and her daughter was not outstanding. She hated pretty girls the most. She curled her lips and admonished Fang Mingxu:

"You should focus on your studies now so that you will have a good future. Your father cares so much about you that he didn't even get married for you. You can't let him down."

Fang Mingxu said impatiently, "What I want to do is my business. My father doesn't live for me. If you have nothing to do, please worry more about my cousin. She is at the age where she needs motherly love. I heard that her academic performance is not very good. If she doesn't work hard, she won't even be able to get into college in the future."

After Zhao Rong divorced her ex-husband, her daughter lived with her father. She usually didn't care about it, so when she mentioned this topic, she couldn't help feeling guilty. She said unhappily:

"You just like to talk nonsense with me. I'm going to see your grandpa. Don't run around and don't play around with other girls."

Fang Mingxu ignored her with a cold face. Zhao Rong said dissatisfiedly: "Both father and son are like stones in the toilet, smelly and hard. Who wants to care about them..."

After watching her enter the ward, Fang Mingxu walked up to Huaixi and said in a flattering manner with a smile, "Didn't I disturb you just now? Where are you guys going?"

If it weren't for Mayor Fang's sake, Huai Xi would have scolded Zhao Rong long ago. She said coldly, "I'm not deaf. Your relative is talking so loudly, how can I not hear him?"

Fang Mingxu hadn't been scolded by her for a long time. He lowered his head and said, "My aunt is indeed annoying, but she is an elder after all. There are some things I can't say. Did our coming here disturb Aunt Chen's business?"

Huaixi would not take her anger out on others, so she just vented it on Fang Mingxu. She said calmly:

"My dad was going to take us out to play, but he was blocked by you guys just as he was about to leave. Do you think it delayed things?" Fang Mingxu stretched his head to look inside, his eyes shining as he said, "Actor Yu is back. Can I take a photo with him and get his autograph?"

Huai Xi said disdainfully: "Don't be so superficial. My dad went upstairs to pack his luggage. He doesn't have time to see you right now. Let's talk about it when there's a chance."

Fang Mingxu was very disappointed when he heard this, and bargained: "How about you bring me his autograph on Monday? That's not too much to ask, right?"

Huai Xi had no choice but to nod and agree. Fang Mingxu was satisfied. He was worried that Zhao Rong would do something weird again, so he said quickly, "It's settled then. I'll go and see if it's done. I won't say any more."

Huai Xi waved at him perfunctorily. Ruogu took more than an hour to give him the acupuncture. After seeing how skilled she was in the ward, Zhao Rong had more respect for her.

She also quieted down. After all, people eat grains and cereals, and who can guarantee that they won't get sick and blame Ruogu for it? She didn't say any more nonsense when she left, and she was much quieter.

After Fang Mingxu and his group left, Huai Xi said with sarcasm in her eyes: "Does Fang Mingxu's aunt have any intentions towards the mayor? Otherwise, why would she treat you like this?"

Huai Xi was used to seeing women vying for favor in the mansion, so she was very sensitive to this matter. Ruogu could see it, too. She chuckled and said, "Zhao Rong got divorced and returned home. It's not easy for her to find a suitable husband. It's inevitable that she would have feelings for her widowed brother-in-law. Maybe she heard the father and son talking about me and got the wrong idea."

Huai Xi sneered, "Given Zhao Rong's personality, Mayor Fang would not easily accept it even if the Zhao family helped her, not to mention how much Fang Mingxu disliked this matter."

Ruogu could see that this was a futile effort. She said in a gentle voice, "Mayor Fang gave all his love to his deceased wife. If he wanted to remarry, there would be many unmarried girls waiting to come to him. Why would he look for Zhao Rong, who is so stupid? But this matter has nothing to do with us. There is no need to meddle in it."

Huai Xi also thought so. Mayor Fang was as shrewd as an old fox. It would be strange if he could be controlled by Zhao Rong.

Hearing no movement in the front hall, Yu Yuan came out in casual clothes and a baseball cap. He said in a steady voice, "How is it? Have the patients and their families left?"

Ruogu nodded slightly and replied softly: "Now that they have all left, we can set off now."

The main purpose of this trip was to play with Huaixi, so they chose a theme park that can be reached in three hours by car, and it is also a popular tourist check-in spot that has been very popular online recently.

Yu Yuan drove the car himself, while Ruogu and Huaixi sat in the back seat and chatted. The weather was fine and the mother and daughter were in a good mood. They chatted and laughed and soon arrived at their destination.

As soon as you enter the park, you can feel the warm and cheerful atmosphere. Ruogu stood in front of the big pendulum, watching it swing from side to side and listening to the screams of the people sitting inside. She hesitated and said, "Huaixi, this looks very dangerous. Do you really want to try it?"

What you see in the video is completely different from what you actually see in front of you. Although Huai Xi is a little scared, her eyes are full of eagerness to try. She said excitedly:
"Now that I'm here, I have to try it. It just looks dangerous, but the protective measures are in place, so there won't be any danger."

Yu Yuan was a step behind them. When he came over with a backpack on his back and a bottle of mineral water in his hand, he first looked up at the pendulum, and then smiled at Huai Xi:
"The three of us have tickets to play the whole show. If you want to go up, I'll go with you."
