Chapter 135 The dumb fool

"Lu Ling's intelligence is such a waste of her face!"

"The entertainment industry still needs such silly beauties, otherwise it will lose a lot of fun."

"Chen Ruogu is definitely a heroine. If she were to enter the entertainment industry and act in a drama, it would definitely be exciting."

"He's a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. He doesn't need to rely on his looks to make a living. With Yu Yuan's protective personality, he must protect his wife very well."

"I still like them as a couple. They are a perfect match made in heaven."

The strawberry garden was not far away, and it only took about ten minutes to get there by car. They were greeted by a middle-aged woman in her fifties.

She had a towel on her head and her skin was sallow. The production crew had come to greet her in advance, so she was very enthusiastic.

"This is the first time that there are so many fairies in my strawberry garden. After I pick the strawberries, can I take a photo with you?"

Xia Lan smiled and said, "Of course, then you have to take us to pick the freshest strawberries."

The owner of the picking garden smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem. The strawberries are at their best at this time. They haven't been sprayed with any pesticides. My grandson just picks them and eats them."

Ruogu was looking around, Xu Xinran's eyes were full of curiosity. They had all eaten strawberries before, but had never picked them themselves. Lu Ling looked at the mud in the greenhouse and said with some disdain, "There's so much mud outside, it can't be the same inside, it's so dirty."

She learned her lesson this time and spoke in a very low voice. Only Wang Lele and Ye Mei, who were standing beside her, heard it. Ye Mei rolled her eyes and said sarcastically:
"Before you came, didn't you say you liked eating strawberries? Do you want us to pick them and send them to you?"

Lu Ling said innocently: "I didn't say that. Does the silt really exist? Don't you dislike it?"

Ye Mei was too lazy to pay attention to her. Wang Lele smiled like a peacemaker and said, "This little bit of mud doesn't matter. Just walk by it. We can go wash it after we finish picking it."

No matter how reluctant Lu Ling was, she had to go with them. The owner of the picking garden led them to the large greenhouse in the middle and stopped. She said with a smile, "The strawberries in this greenhouse are the best, with lots of big ones. You can go in and pick them slowly."

The proprietress opened the door of the shed as she spoke. As the door opened, a wave of heat surged in. It was airtight inside. Ruogu said gently, "It's hot inside. We have to take off our coats before going in, otherwise we'll sweat."

The sun was shining brightly today and the temperature was not low. Xia Lan took off her coat without hesitation and handed it to the staff member who came with her. The others did the same.

The proprietress brought out a small basket from somewhere and handed one to everyone. She raised her voice and said, "You can pick and eat the strawberries as you go. Don't pick the strawberries that are not yet red. Don't step on the vines. There is mud inside. Be careful when you walk."

Ruogu took the basket and said with a smile: "Don't worry, boss lady. We are not children anymore and we know our limits."

The lady boss said cheerfully, "I'm just saying this symbolically. The strawberries are almost out of season now, and there are too many for us to eat. You guys can eat them all. They haven't been watered, so they're not dirty."

Everyone thanked him politely and walked slowly inside. Although the path was narrow and difficult to walk on, Ruogu found it quite fun. The clusters of strawberries looked very cute. Ruogu picked one and sniffed it. It was very sweet.

Xia Lan picked one and put it in her mouth. Her eyes lit up and she said, "This strawberry is so delicious. Ruogu, try it quickly. It's not dirty."

Ruogu scolded, "Although there is nothing messy on the strawberries, there is still dust. It would be better to rinse them with water before eating them to avoid diarrhea."

Wang Lele agreed with this very much. She smiled and said, "Sister Lan, you usually eat very carefully. Your stomach won't be able to handle eating like this."

Xia Lan was used to being carefree, so just tasting the fruits was enough for her. She was not really greedy. For people like them who had a good living condition, it was still a great pleasure to experience the joy of picking fruits occasionally.

Lu Ling looked down and found a huge strawberry among the green leaves. She took a step forward excitedly, but the soil was slippery and she fell to the ground. The basket of strawberries flew far away. Lu Ling cried in grievance, causing everyone to look back.

They were not all picking together. Only Xu Xinran and Ruogu were closer. Ruogu turned around and asked, "Lu Ling, how are you? Are you injured anywhere?"

Lu Ling cried, "Sister Ruogu, my palms are scratched and my ankle seems to be sprained."

After all, she came as a guest, and Ruogu was half the host, so it was only right for him to take care of her a little. Xu Xinran walked to her first and just helped her up. Ruogu also came over and looked at her palm first. It was probably scratched by small stones in the mud, but it was not very serious.

Ruogu squatted down to check her ankle. There was no bone injury. He comforted her, "It's not serious. Just clean the wound with disinfectant. There is some in the car. I'll go with you."

Xu Xinran said quickly: "Sister-in-law, I'll take her there, you continue picking strawberries, we are of similar age and have more in common."

Ruogu chuckled and said, "You were very happy picking strawberries just now, right? Keep picking them. I'll take care of her."

Xu Xinran directly took Lu Ling's arm and said without hesitation: "I won't pick any more. It's a good time to go outside and get some fresh air. You pick more."

These were all trivial matters, and Ruogu didn't argue with her. He watched them both leave before going back to pick strawberries.

Lu Ling's ankle was a little red and swollen, and she felt obvious pain when she walked. Although Xu Xinran didn't like her, he didn't ignore her. He helped her walk slowly into the car.

Some of the program crew stayed in the villa, and some were in the strawberry shed. Everyone was working. Even the driver was not in the car. Xu Xinran helped Lu Ling to her seat, and then continued to look through the medicine box.

After Xu Xinran got the medicine box, he first found the iodine, then took a bottle of mineral water to wash Lu Ling's hands. Lu Ling stretched her arms out of the car window and let the mineral water wash her palms. She frowned and said, "My palms hurt a little. Be gentle when you use the iodine to disinfect them later."

There was no one following them at the moment, and both of them were very casual. Xu Xinran pouted and said, "Don't be so squeamish. I'll take care of this little injury slowly, and it will heal on its own."

Lu Ling blinked her eyes and said, "How can it be so exaggerated? There are small stones in the wound. You still say that. If I had known earlier, I would have asked Sister Ruogu to accompany me."

Xu Xinran laughed and said, "You look down on your sister-in-law, but you are so embarrassed to think of her at this time."

Lu Ling argued, "That's because I didn't know her before, and I don't know her personality or temper. If you look online, you'll find that many of Yu Yuan's fans can't accept the fact that he's getting married." Xu Xinran took the cotton swab from the medicine box and gently wiped the dirt from her wound. Without even raising his head, he said, "Don't lie to me. I'm also a fan of Brother Yuan. Do you want to see him die alone? Or do you have improper thoughts about him?"

Lu Ling was just a young girl who was naive and focused on her face. She said shyly, "Isn't it normal for me to like Yu Yuan? He has such good acting skills and outstanding looks. Aren't you moved?"

Xu Xinran thought of how Brother Yuan was in the company, and shook her head without hesitation, "Who would be tempted by their boss? Don't drag me down with this. It's your own business if you admire him, but just keep it in your heart. If you deliberately destroy someone's family, that would be disgusting."

Lu Ling said with a helpless expression: "Sister Ruogu is a very good person. How could I be ungrateful?"

Xu Xinran said calmly, "You don't have to think too much. Brother Yuan will not betray his sister-in-law. Your love for him is just a temporary novelty. When you change your idol, you will fall in love with someone else. I think Chen Zhuo is good with you."

Lu Ling said with some disdain: "He is just a dumb guy with a dumb mouth. His face is the only thing he can look at. It is doubtful whether he can become famous in the future."

Xu Xinran tutted and said with a look of disdain, "If he is really as bad as you say, how can he be on this show? Chen Zhuo is no ordinary person. That guy's acting skills are definitely not bad. If he is given a chance, he will definitely become famous. You also said that he has a good appearance."

Lu Ling didn't quite believe it and said, "You must be lying. He doesn't look that dazzling. He is obviously very ordinary."

Xu Xinran said with a smile: "So what do you think of your uncle's vision?"

Lu Ling said proudly: "My uncle has a bad vision. Can Shiyi achieve such a large scale? You are just talking nonsense."

Xu Xinran said calmly, "That's it. He obviously wants to support you and Chen Zhuo. You are his niece, so you rely on blood relationship, and Chen Zhuo relies on strength. If you want to fall in love, you might as well choose a potential stock. Treat him well before he becomes famous. When he becomes famous, your good days will come."

Lu Ling followed Xu Xinran's train of thought and thought that this was not a bad idea. "Chen Zhuo's family is a little poor, but if he becomes famous, he will definitely not be short of money in the future. It's not a loss for me to be with him. To be honest, he has a pretty good face."

Xu Xinran smiled and said, "Of course, he is a genuine young hunk. Brother Yuan is old, how can he compare to him? You enjoy his youthfulness now, and his maturity and stability in the future. With your uncle around, do you think he would dare to abandon you?"

Lu Ling nodded slightly, and she smiled and said, "Now that you mention it, it seems like it wouldn't be bad to find a boyfriend like Chen Zhuo."

Xu Xinran sighed, "It's more than good. A nurturing boyfriend is one that is completely trained according to your needs. Isn't this better than finding a middle-aged man? Men of Brother Yuan's age are all very smart. Their feelings have long been given to previous women. Even if you succeed in getting promoted, he won't love you wholeheartedly. Why waste your time?"

Lu Ling felt that what she said made sense, and nodded unconsciously: "What you said is true. Yu Yuan's eyes are all on Sister Ruogu. Even if I like her, I won't make myself unhappy. Chen Zhuo can indeed give it a try."

Xu Xinran successfully brainwashed him and chuckled, "Look at how comfortable Sister Xia Lan is. Isn't Dong Rui doing well?"

Lu Ling followed her words and said: "Dong Rui is also very good and good-looking."

"That's right. If you open up your horizons, you will have many choices. Idols are only suitable for admiring from afar, but you have to choose a partner that you can handle."

Lu Ling nodded in agreement. When they finished picking strawberries and returned home with a full harvest, the men's drinking party had already ended. Yu Yuan's face was a little red. He had changed his clothes and probably taken a shower.

Ruogu didn't see Ji Tianyang, so he asked curiously, "Where is Ji Tianyang?"

Yu Yuan poured Ruogu a glass of water and said gently, "He went upstairs to sleep. He drank a little too much and cried for a while. He's fine now that he's vented his emotions."

Ruogu nodded slightly and didn't say much. They picked so many strawberries and had to clean them up quickly, otherwise it would be a pity if they went bad.

Ye Mei is very good at making strawberry jam. Everyone listens to her instructions. Ruogu is very busy and the villa is very lively.

Everyone cooked dinner together, and everyone had a specialty dish. Everyone enjoyed the meal very much. Lu Ling focused her attention on Chen Zhuo. The more she looked at him, the more she found him pleasing to the eye. She concentrated on chatting with him.

How could this change escape Ruogu's eyes? When she and Xu Xinran were washing dishes in the kitchen, Ruogu chuckled and said, "What did you say to Lu Ling again? She looked at Chen Zhuo with a different look."

Xu Xinran chuckled, and lowered her voice and said, "I told her that Chen Zhuo has potential and might be the next movie emperor, and told her to seize the opportunity. It's much better than being with Brother Yuan. The little girl probably wanted to come over, so she attacked Chen Zhuo."

Ruogu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Chen Zhuo doesn't talk much, but the two of them look quite good together. I'm just afraid that Boss Yang won't agree."

Xu Xinran smiled and said, "That's something that Mr. Yang should worry about. It's not our business."

After cleaning up the kitchen after dinner, Yu Yuan called Ruogu upstairs to rest. The live broadcast had ended long ago. They had just taken a shower and lay down on the bed. Ruogu was about to take a medical book to read when his cell phone rang. It was a call from Yang Mingsheng's ex-wife, Wang Yun.

Ruogu thought she was feeling unwell, so after answering the phone, he asked softly, "Baozhu's mother, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"

Since Wang Yun was diagnosed with liver cancer, she has been going to Jishidiang for acupuncture regularly and taking Chinese medicine every day. Although the cancer cells are still there, her physical condition has stabilized and does not affect her normal life.

Wang Yun said calmly, "Don't worry, Doctor Chen. I'm in good health and have no discomfort. It's just that someone has discovered my illness and heard that my treatment here is very effective, so he wants to go to you for treatment. The other party's identity is a bit special and it seems that he also has cancer. I'm afraid he will come to you soon."

Ruogu frowned slightly and said in a calm voice: "I can't cure every disease. Your condition is not that bad that I can suppress it, but it may not be the case for others."

Wang Yun knew that the cancer cells in her body were still there and she needed to have checkups every once in a while, and she didn't want Ruogu to get hurt.

"I have also told them that they choose TCM because they prefer conservative treatment. Even if they don't ask me, they will find you sooner or later. After all, there are only a handful of famous TCM doctors in China."

Ruogu said helplessly: "I am just an ordinary Chinese medicine doctor. The outside world has exaggerated a little. No matter what, if the other party really comes to me, I will do my best."

Wang Yun chuckled and said, "I believe in your medical skills, but you are recording a variety show right now, will it be inconvenient?"

In Ruogu's mind, treating patients is the top priority. If there is a conflict, she will make a choice.
