Chapter 15: Beautiful and Beautiful
Although Yu Yuan, whom Fu Juan knew, was introverted and not good at speaking, he was calm, reserved and had an extraordinary temperament.

He has always been indifferent and distant to others, always hiding his emotions, making it difficult for people to get a glimpse into his inner world.

In all the years they have worked together, Fu Juan has never heard him praise any woman. She couldn't imagine Yu Yuan's expression when he said that.

She raised her spikes like a hedgehog and looked at Yu Huaixi with cold and sharp eyes.

"Little girl, lying is the most despicable and shameless behavior. Sooner or later, you will be exposed. Then you will be like a rat crossing the street and everyone will shout and beat you!"

Chen Ruogu didn't expect her to be so petty. Yu Huaixi had seen all sorts of things, so how could she be scared by her? She retorted:

"Some people are like this. They think the whole world is a cesspool because they are maggots."

He Hui couldn't help but burst out laughing, and gave Huai Xi a thumbs up behind Fu Juan's back.

In Fu Juan's opinion, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl should be sensitive and fragile, and would feel ashamed if scolded. She had never seen such a sharp-tongued person, and said with a sullen face:

"You are such an uneducated girl. Even if your father earns you a mountain of gold and silver, it can't cover up your ugly appearance of bad character."

Fu Juan spoke happily, but she didn't know that Huai Xi had recorded everything on video. She quietly hid her phone, and then said with a smile:

"If my appearance is considered ugly, then what do you call your face? A car accident scene? You're old but you talk like a circus clown. I really wonder if you've come to the wrong place."

Fu Juan was defeated again. She couldn't get any advantage and turned to Chen Ruogu and shouted:
"Is this how you usually educate your daughter? Her uneducated and unpresentable appearance is simply embarrassing. Are you worthy of Yu Yuan?"

Fu Juan was on the verge of losing control, but Chen Ruogu's eyes were as calm as a lake. She said calmly:
"My daughter's attitude towards you depends on what kind of person you are. It's not your turn to judge whether she is good or bad. And who are you to my husband? What qualifications do you have to speak up for him?"

Fu Juan was stunned. She had not expected her to be so sharp in words. Chen Ruogu played with her fingers gracefully. The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and dimples were faintly visible.

"Didn't my husband tell you that Huaixi's personality and appearance are like his? He is most proud of the fact that his daughter resembles her father."

These words were simply heartbreaking. Fu Juan seemed to be hit by a heavy hammer, and her expression was extremely painful. She stood there, her hands trembling slightly. After a long while, she remembered the purpose of her trip and said calmly:
"Chen Ruogu, I want to talk to you alone about Yu Yuan."

She thought that Chen Ruogu would be in a state of panic after hearing this, but unexpectedly, the other party did not accept it.

Chen Ruogu smiled at He Hui as if he hadn't heard anything:
"Xiao He, don't you want to eat some cakes? This Danai cake has just come out of the pot. If you don't eat it now, it won't taste so good anymore."

The highest level of ignoring a person is to ignore her as naturally as air.

Why should Chen Ruogu agree with the other party? This is her territory, and she naturally controls the pace.

Yu Huaixi cooperated well with her mother and took over the conversation and said to He Hui:

"This cake is my favorite in the past. Try it and see how it tastes."

How could He Hui fail to keep his promise at this time? He came forward curiously and said in surprise:

"Is this a local specialty of Wanling? How come I have never seen it before?"

Yu Huaixi picked one up with chopsticks and put it on a small plate, then handed it to him and introduced it slowly:
"This is what my mother researched based on the Song Dynasty cuisine records. You can try it first."

He Hui couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food. He didn't care about Fu Juan at the moment and stuffed them into his mouth one by one.

The plum flesh is soft and sweet and sour, and the filling has the sweetness of nuts and honey, with a very layered taste. Even He Hui, who doesn't like pastries, fell in love with the taste.

He couldn't wait to stuff another one into his mouth and said incoherently:

"It's so delicious. These two things go perfectly together. If you eat the plum flesh alone, it's too sour, and if you eat the nuts alone, it's too greasy. The combination is just right. It's amazing that my sister-in-law can perfectly reproduce the ancient recipes."

Yu Huaixi was satisfied with his insight and said proudly:
"My mother knows more than that. You will find out later."

He Hui greedily ate one more. There was no doubt that the boss lady was capable. Only those self-righteous guys in the company would look down on her. He would not try to pass herself off as a fake.

Fu Juan clenched her fists as she watched this scene. Her nails dug deep into her flesh, as if she could not feel the pain. She scolded in a harsh voice:
"Do you think you can keep Yu Yuan with your mediocre cooking skills? What use are you other than holding him back?"

Chen Ruogu turned his head and looked at her with sympathy, saying jokingly:

"God is fair. He gave you this ordinary face and will definitely give you a low IQ to match it, so that you don't look out of place."

Fu Juan suppressed her rage and said coldly:

"You knew that Yu Yuan's career had reached a low point, but you still deliberately provoked and humiliated me. Aren't you afraid that I would completely destroy Yu Yuan?"

Chen Ruogu's face remained calm. She gently picked up the teacup. The elegant fragrance of tea complemented her expression. She said gently:

"What makes you think Yu Yuan is in a low period? Do you need my approval to destroy him?"

Fu Juan gradually became irritable, she growled:
"Don't change the subject. I am his partner and his agent. I control all his resources and funds. If I withdraw my investment from his company, I will suffer heavy losses."

Chen Ruogu said without any mercy: "You are so important, but he doesn't want to keep you by his side. You can see how pathetic you are. Why don't you reflect on your own problems first?"

Yu Huaixi couldn't stop laughing. She really didn't know that her mother was so good at quarreling and could easily drive the other person crazy.

Fu Juan simply tore off the fig leaf and said arrogantly:

"As long as you agree to divorce Yu Yuan, I will not withdraw the funds, and his career will not be affected in any way. You should know yourself well. You can never afford what I give him."

Chen Ruogu gently rubbed his temples and said in a gentle voice:

"You are right. Only you can fulfill his wish of kicking you out. Considering our years of cooperation, why don't you agree to it first."

Only then did Fu Juan realize how difficult Chen Ruogu was. Chen Ruogu glanced at her nonchalantly and said kindly:
"I have no control over the company's affairs, and I didn't tie my husband up to prevent him from leaving. You can do whatever you want without informing me."

After she finished speaking, she made a gesture of invitation, which clearly meant to expel the guest. Fu Juan could no longer bear it, and she said angrily:

"Don't be so arrogant. Yu Yuan will abandon you sooner or later. If he really loves you, he wouldn't have kept your marriage secret for more than a decade. You are at best just a babysitter to help him take care of his children, nothing more."

The more angry and excited she was, the calmer Chen Ruogu became. She said with a half-smile:
"Every couple has their own way of getting along. You may not understand but please respect it. Goodbye!" He Hui was afraid that Fu Juan would ask him to leave together, so he crouched and hid in the kitchen. When he heard the door slam, he poked his head out and asked, "Fu Juan is leaving, right?"

Yu Huaixi sneered, "Is Uncle He so timid? What is she afraid of? Apart from being self-righteous, I don't see what other abilities she has."

He Hui reached out and took another big cake and put it in his mouth, complaining:
"She is a female devil in the circle. Many people are afraid of her. It's just that you are more powerful. You are so ruthless today. Will Brother Yuan have any objection?"

Yu Huaixi also took a bite of the Danai cake delicately, and said indifferently:

"Whether he has an opinion or not is his business. Anyway, it's my mother who has the final say on whether he can return to this home."

He Hui gave her a thumbs up again, then looked at Chen Ruogu, only to see that she was emotionally stable and expressionless.

Chen Ruogu didn't care what He Hui thought of her. It was as if Fu Juan had never been there. She calmly talked to him about the house decoration.

Since the house has been renovated, the old furniture and appliances will not be kept. Without having to worry about funding, Chen Ruogu only needs to consider the style and performance, and He Hui will take care of the rest.

The next morning, Chen Ruogu rushed to the vehicle management office to take the exam. Although she had experienced many exams in her memory, it was her first time, so she was inevitably a little nervous.

Yu Huaixi wanted to accompany her to take the exam but was rejected by Chen Ruogu. She was already a little nervous, and when she entered the examination room, she had to distract herself and think about her daughter. She really couldn't do it in two places.

Chen Ruogu was nervous inside but pretended to be calm on the surface. After she arrived at the vehicle management office and greeted the person in charge of the driving school, she lined up with the staff to prepare to enter the test.

Chen Ruogu followed the team. It was inevitable to be a little nervous before the exam. She took a deep breath and then looked at the people waiting for the exam.

The candidates had different expressions on their faces, some were nervous, some were calm. The feeling of waiting always seemed particularly long. Chen Ruogu was watching in a trance when he suddenly smelled a strong aroma of sauce.

She looked in the direction of the scent and saw a girl with a bun at the end of the left team.

She has a round face like a pearl, round eyes, a turned-up nose, chubby cheeks, and is eating a sauce-flavored cake with her lips slightly open.

She has a great appetite and the way she eats is so adorable, just like a little rabbit, chewing every bite of food with relish.

There were many people around paying attention to her, but she took big bites of the pancake as if no one was around, not caring about the sauce on her mouth, her face filled with happiness and satisfaction.

Chen Ruogu only had some porridge for breakfast, but seeing her eating it aroused her appetite and she felt hungry too.

Fortunately, she was at the front of the line and could go in to take the exam. Chen Ruogu collected her thoughts and walked inside, taking a seat according to her exam number.

After she sat down, she looked up at the monitor, adjusted her mindset, then clicked the mouse and began answering the questions with full concentration.

The test questions were the same as the ones she usually saw on her mobile phone, all randomly selected from the question bank. Chen Ruogu put real effort into this aspect, so she finished it very quickly and passed with full marks in the end. She was very excited to see the results.

It was already past ten o'clock when she came out of the examination room. The vehicle management office was a bit remote, so the driving school specially arranged a car to pick her up so that she could wait for other students to finish the test and take the car back together.

Chen Ruogu first sent a message to Huaixi to tell her the good news. This was a very special experience for her. At around eleven o'clock, all the candidates came out and Chen Ruogu got on the driving school's car. She had to go to the driving school to choose a coach for the second subject.

Chen Ruogu chose a seat near the window, facing away from the sun. Just as she wiped the sweat off her face, she saw someone sitting in the empty seat next to her.

She turned her head and saw the girl who had just eaten the cake. Chen Ruogu smiled unconsciously and said gently, "Are you also a student of Qiyun Driving School?"

The round-faced girl blushed shyly, and she whispered back: "Yes, sister, did you pass the subject one test just now?"

Chen Ruogu looked at her with unconcealed affection and said in a soft voice:
"I just passed it in one try. It was easier than I thought. I was a little worried before I went in."

The girl could sense her kindness, her body relaxed a little, and she replied in a low voice:
"I was also very worried before I went in. Fortunately, I have done all the questions I picked, so I just need to pass. Now I will concentrate on preparing for the next level. Sister, my name is Chi Zhengzheng, what's your name? I think you are very beautiful!"

Chen Ruogu smiled happily as he heard the girl's praise.

"My name is Chen Ruogu, who are you?"

Chi Zhengzheng said seriously: "It's the iron-boned Zheng."

Chen Ruogu was a little surprised. "Your name is quite different from your appearance. But Zheng is a good character."

Chi Zhengzheng agreed with this very much. There was obvious joy on her face, and even her voice became lighter.

"I like my name very much. Sister Ruogu, do you know any instructor for the second subject? Which instructor do you plan to choose later?"

Chen Ruogu knew nothing about this matter. She said blankly:
"I don't even know which instructors there are in the driving school. It doesn't matter who I learn from."

Chi Zhengzheng's eyes widened and he said very seriously:
"Sister Ruogu, that's a huge difference. You don't know how fierce some coaches are. If you're a little slow to react, you'll get scolded. They can use all sorts of dirty words. You'd better pick one with a good temper."

Chen Ruogu felt like laughing when he saw her expression, so he teased her and said, "That's hard. I don't know who to choose."

Chi Zhengzheng approached her without any intention, put his phone in front of her, flipped through the photos inside and introduced:
"Sister Ruogu, we will choose the same coach later. I have found out everything. They said that Coach Zhou looks fierce, but he is very friendly to girls and usually only scolds boys. His teaching method is also very good. In short, it is definitely right to choose him."

Seeing that she looked like she was waiting for approval, Chen Ruogu quickly agreed:
"Then listen to you. I believe in your choice."

This doting tone made Chi Zhengzheng blush unconsciously, and the school car soon arrived at the destination.

All the students gathered in the hall, and the instructors for Subject 2 also came over.

Coach Zhou, whom Chi Zhengzheng had his eyes on, had dark skin and wore sunglasses. He had probably just gotten out of the car, and his face was sunburned.

He did look a bit fierce, and the uninformed students all skipped him and chose other coaches, which made his face look even uglier.

Chi Zhengzheng took Chen Ruogu's hand in a familiar manner and stood behind Coach Zhou without hesitation. Their appearances were particularly conspicuous among the crowd. Many people were secretly staring at them, and they were inevitably disappointed to see that they chose Coach Zhou.

Those who had already chosen their coaches were not in a position to change them, so those who had not yet chosen were shameless enough to follow suit.

Coach Zhou gathered eight students in a short time. He didn't want anyone else and just left with the students.
