Chapter 17 Liver Qi Stagnation
Chen Ruogu looked at Chi Zhengzheng with a stubborn and tenacious look in her eyes, as if no difficulties could stop her from moving forward.

That look could penetrate a person's soul, allowing Chen Ruogu to understand instantly.

If you have not experienced her life and have not felt her inner pain, you should not easily deny her efforts, even if you know they are going in the wrong direction.

Chen Ruogu felt a little distressed and sympathetic, and she said softly:
"Life is unpredictable. What I said is just my personal opinion, which may not be correct. Just follow your own ideas."

Chi Zhengzheng nodded. She used a smile to hide her emotions at the moment. She liked Chen Ruogu's straightforward concern and was not unhappy about it.

"Sister Ruogu, don't worry. I have been actively looking for a job recently, but I can't find a suitable one for the time being. I can clearly distinguish between the Internet and reality."

Chen Ruogu was thinking about hiring people after Jishidiang opened, but she swallowed the words back.

People’s hearts are hard to predict, so let’s wait and see. There are only her and Huaixi living at home, and the character of the people they recruit must not be flawless.

She changed the subject and said, "Eat quickly, the video hasn't been recorded yet."

Chi Zhengzheng smiled and nodded. Just then a guest lifted the door curtain and came in. A ray of sunlight shone on her face, making her cheerful smile even brighter and warmer.

She adjusted the angle with her phone and continued filming. She slowly put the slice of meat into her mouth, chewing it with satisfaction. Her face was full of happiness, which also brought satisfaction to the onlookers.

Chen Ruogu held his chin with one hand and watched her eat with relish. After she finished filming the video and there was nothing left in the bowl, he spoke:

"What's your account name? How can I search for you?"

Chi Zhengzheng wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, drank a sip of orange soda, and then said embarrassedly:

"Sister Ruogu, you can find me when you search for Zhengzheng is not full. Remember to follow me and light up the red heart."

She playfully made a heart shape with her fingers, and Chen Ruogu smiled brightly. In fact, we don’t have to demand too much from the people around us. If we know how to be tolerant, simple and pure, then everything will be beautiful!

At the same time, the low pressure around Yu Yuan made people breathless.

He has been busy walking the red carpet these two days, and then recorded a show overnight, and only now has he had time to look at his phone.

In Huai Xi's dialog box was playing a video of Fu Juan looking angry and arrogant. His brows were furrowed and his eyes were like torches, as if he wanted to vent all his dissatisfaction.

Yu Yuan's attack came without warning, and Han Shuo was caught off guard and unable to resist. He swallowed his saliva and said with gritted teeth:
"Old Yu, why are you so angry? Isn't the work going smoothly..."

Before he finished speaking, Yu Yuan handed the phone to him and said gloomily:
"Look for yourself, this is the retribution for you trying to persuade me to cherish our old friendship!"

Yu Yuan clenched his fists, his breathing became rapid, and as he listened to Fu Juan's arrogant words, his eyes became more fierce, and anger was seeping from every pore in his body.

Han Shuo felt as bitter as if he had eaten Coptis chinensis. He couldn't understand why Fu Juan was so stupid. She went to threaten Yu Yuan's wife and daughter at this critical moment. Wasn't this clearly seeking death?

The more Yu Yuan suppresses himself now, the greater the price Fu Juan will have to pay.

He said dryly, "I also thought that your peace is more valuable than conflict. The uglier the quarrel, the greater the loss for both sides, so..."

Yu Yuan sneered and said, "There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Since she is determined to hold on to the company, let's just cancel it."

Han Shuo's jaw dropped in shock, and he felt a chill down his spine as he said:
"Cancel? What should I do after I cancel? This is your studio. How can I carry out the follow-up work?"

Yu Yuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent, and he said in a deep voice:

"Cancel the studio, but I still have Ruoyuan Culture and Media Company, which is completely mine. Do you understand?"

The slightly raised corners of his mouth revealed the unfathomable depth of his inner world, which made Han Shuo feel inexplicably panicked.

"The copyright of the newly shot film also belongs to Ruoyuan Culture Media?"

Yu Yuan nodded nonchalantly. Han Shuo was sweating profusely, and even his heart was trembling. He smiled bitterly and said, "So I, the producer, am just a cover you put up?"

Yu Yuan didn't mind a falling out. He said coldly, "You have some shares in the company and your heart is leaning towards Fu Juan. How can I not be on guard against you?"

Han Shuo wiped his face helplessly and said in a hoarse voice: "If I hadn't chosen to stand on your side this time, wouldn't I have lost everything?"

Yu Yuan turned his head to look at the scenery outside the French window and said in a deep voice: "Not yet, you can leave the same way you came."

Han Shuo asked unwillingly, "Are you doing this just for your wife and daughter? Are they so important?"

Yu Yuan's eyes were full of persistence and determination, as if no one could shake him. He said frankly:
"I have considered abandoning them and choosing a new one, but I can't do it. My belief in life and the meaning of my existence are for them. I dare not take a wrong step. As long as I don't make mistakes of principle, even if the situation is bad, it can be repaired. My home will always be there."

Han Shuo looked at his resolute back, which was filled with his tenderness for Chen Ruogu. Even in the stormy weather, it could not shake his dedication to her.

Fu Juan was a joke from beginning to end. Han Shuo couldn't understand it, but he chose to respect her. He drooped his shoulders and compromised:

"Anyway, I have already chosen my side. I have no regrets. I will do whatever you tell me to do next."

Han Shuo has limited abilities, but he is also very self-aware. He knows how important it is to be with the right people, and he always lives with clarity.

Since Yu Yuan was using him, he would not make random guesses. Before leaving, Yu Yuan tried to test him: "If you really can't let go of Fu Juan, you might as well take this opportunity to try hard once."

Han Shuo didn't expect that his hidden thoughts could be seen through. He said dejectedly: "No need. Sister Juan is not someone I can control. We are destined to have no fate."

He left in a hurry, as if he was running away. Yu Yuan had a different personality from him. He insisted on his choice, like a stubborn donkey stuck in his obsession, and refused to come out no matter who pulled him out.

After Yu Yuan decisively finished his official business, he made a video call to Chen Ruogu. He had to give her an explanation about Fu Juan.

Chen Ruogu had just finished taking a shower when the cell phone rang. She came back from outside with her face sunburned and sweat pouring down her face. Her clothes were soaked and were very uncomfortable to wear.

She changed the word "husband" on her phone to "Yu Yuan", and only then did she feel better. She did not complain to Yu Yuan about Fu Juan coming to make trouble. It was enough that Huai Xi contacted her father. If she said it again, it would seem too deliberate.

After the video was connected, Chen Ruogu placed her phone in front of the dressing table, then picked up a towel and gently wiped her wet hair. The hair passed through her fingertips, conveying a unique charm.

Yu Yuan's heart calmed down as he watched this scene. His eyes were deep as he asked in a low voice:
"Why are you taking a shower at this time? Did you go out?"

After Chen Ruogu talked with him several times, they got along much more naturally. She said in a brisk voice:
"I went to the driving school in the morning. After dinner with my friends, I went to buy some fresh crayfish. Huaixi wanted to eat some, but I was afraid that they were not cleaned properly outside, so I simply went home to cook them myself. I was sweating all over, so I took a shower."

Listening to her casual conversation, Yu Yuan's anger miraculously disappeared. "Be careful when cleaning lobsters. If you get your fingers pinched, sterilize and reduce inflammation immediately."

Chen Ruogu said calmly, "Don't worry, I can handle this little thing, you don't have to worry too much."

After she said this, she put down the towel, gently picked up the comb and began to comb her black and shiny hair. Her hair fell on her shoulders like a waterfall, looking soft and silky, making people want to touch it.

Yu Yuan's eyes curved slightly, his lips pursed, and his voice was as deep as uncarved jade.

"You didn't like your hair to be too long before, why didn't you cut it short this time?"

Chen Ruogu turned his head slightly to look at him, with an indescribable tenderness in his eyes.

"I can't bear to cut it, it's more convenient to put it in a bun and fix it with a hairpin..."

When the two were in love, Yu Yuan couldn't help but caress and kiss her hair. This was a romance that belonged only to them and could be understood without words.

Yu Yuan was in the entertainment industry and had seen all kinds of beauties, but only Chen Ruogu could easily stir his heart. He adjusted his breathing silently and said in a hoarse voice:

"You like hairpins. I'll pick a few and have them sent back to you tomorrow."

Chen Ruogu took a strand of hair and slowly combed the ends of her hair.

"You are busy with work, so don't bother doing these little things. It's the same if I buy the hairpin myself."

Yu Yuan often felt that he owed them mother and daughter, and the feeling was even stronger at this moment. He said in a depressed mood: "No matter how busy I am, I still have time to pick a hairpin for my wife..."

Chen Ruogu seemed to notice his emotional fluctuations, stopped combing her hair, and just looked at him.

Yu Yuan looked back, his eyes as bright as stars, affectionate and focused, and murmured:
"Agu, I seemed to be lost before, but I could hear your call when I closed my eyes, so I found it again. Can you forgive me this time?"

Chen Ruogu didn't expect Yu Yuan to say this. She was a little resistant, but her eyes became wet unconsciously. She couldn't give up the love that went deep into her bones.

Yu Yuan looked at Chen Ruogu with eyes full of love and endless pain.

Chen Ruogu came back to his senses, glanced at Yu Yuan, and finally compromised:
"No matter how our lives change in the future, I will always be with you. No matter what difficulties you encounter, I will face them with you and never leave you."

This promise was like a reassurance pill, which made Yu Yuan feel at ease. He said gently, "Don't worry. Fu Juan can't threaten me. I can rebuild the studio. Sooner or later, she will be left with nothing."

Yu Yuan has never been a good person. He is tolerant towards Chen Ruogu, but not at all towards others.

Chen Ruogu was quick-witted and immediately heard other meanings from his words, and asked:
"It's not that easy to rebuild the studio. It will delay a lot of things, right?"

Yu Yuan did not hide anything from Chen Ruogu. He explained:
"I founded Ruoyuan Culture Media three years ago, and many of my business collaborations are done through that channel, so the cancellation of this studio will not affect me in any way."

Chen Ruogu did not expect Yu Yuan to make arrangements in advance. She guessed that if Fu Juan had not made such a fuss, perhaps he would not be so ruthless. People always have to pay for their own choices.

"I don't understand company matters. I just need to take good care of my daughter and our home. Huaixi will be back soon. I have to go wash the lobsters and can't chat with you."

Although Yu Yuan was disappointed, he had to hang up the phone. He secretly made up his mind to deal with the company's trivial matters as soon as possible so that he could be with his wife and daughter as soon as possible.

When Yu Huaixi returned home, the lobster had already been cooked and served on the table. She smelled the fragrance that filled the house and was extremely happy. She put down her backpack and started grabbing the lobster.

Chen Ruogu untied her apron and scolded, "You didn't even wash your hands before eating. All these lobsters are yours alone, and no one is snatching them away from you."

Yu Huaixi was much more cheerful. She ate the lobster and smiled, "I didn't eat enough at noon, and I consumed too much in the afternoon. I'm really hungry."

Although she said that, she still went to wash her hands obediently. Chen Ruogu turned around and served her food.

She didn't treat her daughter as a child, and told her everything Yu Yuan said to her about the company. Huai Xi didn't expect Yu Yuan to have this trick.

"If my dad cancels the company, Fu Juan will be left with nothing. Tsk tsk tsk, Ruoyuan Culture Media Company, I know what's going on just by hearing your names. Fu Juan will be so pissed off."

Chen Ruogu did not blush at her daughter's teasing. She said calmly:

"Fu Juan thought she understood Yu Yuan, but she didn't know that she was nothing in his heart. If she didn't have so many wishful thinking, this wouldn't be the ending."

Yu Huaixi did not sympathize with her. Who had ever sympathized with the original mother and daughter? It could only be said that it was karma.

Although Chen Ruogu was getting along with her daughter as usual, her heart was stirred by Yu Yuan. She couldn't tell whether those strong emotions were hers or the original body's. Just as she was tossing and turning and unable to sleep at night, her cell phone rang.

Chen Ruogu looked at her phone and saw that it was Sun Yan calling. She quickly sat up and answered the call. She immediately heard the sharp cry of a baby. Sun Yan choked up and said:
"Sister Ruogu, I'm so sorry. I wanted to ask if you've ever run out of milk? Now it's just me and my son at home, and I suddenly have no milk. He doesn't want to drink milk, and he's been crying for more than an hour. I really have no way..."

Chen Ruogu frowned slightly, and she said softly:

"Don't worry, tell me which neighborhood you live in. I know some medical skills and can come over and help you."

Sun Yan needed help urgently. She couldn't say no, so she said quickly:

"My home is in Jade Garden, Sister Ruogu, if you live far away, don't come over..."

Her last sentence sounded particularly weak, so Chen Ruogu soothed her:

"I live in Xiziwan, not far from Feicui Garden. You can take care of the child first, I'll be there soon."

Chen Ruogu changed her clothes, took the medicine box, said hello to Huai Xi and went out. When she arrived at Sun Yan's house, the two-month-old child's voice was hoarse from crying.

Sun Yan was also in tears, looking particularly helpless and pitiful. Chen Ruogu didn't have time to coax the child and hurried to take her pulse.

Sun Yan had a thin and stringy pulse and looked a little depressed. Her tongue was dark red with a yellow coating. Her chest and ribs were swollen, her breasts were hard and painful, and she had a fever.

Chen Ruogu said softly:

"Your lack of milk is caused by liver depression and qi stagnation. I can stimulate lactation by giving you acupuncture points massage. Don't worry."
