Chapter 30: Four Water Points

Chen Ruogu never makes unnecessary explanations. If you believe it, it is there. If you don’t believe it, it is not there. How each person’s path will be depends entirely on personal fate.

The man's face showed a skeptical expression. He was a little conflicted, but Chen Ruogu did not rush him and let him think it through slowly.

After pondering for a moment, the man finally made a decision and said:

"Even if this medicine can't cure the disease, it shouldn't kill me. Anyway, there's no better treatment, so let's just give it a try."

Chen Ruogu didn't care about his hypocrisy. He turned around, prepared the medicine for him, and handed it to him. The man asked straightforwardly, "How much is the total consultation fee plus the medicine?"

Ruogu said calmly: "Give me a hundred, and if it works, come back and get the medicine."

The man nodded, happily paid the money, took the medicine and left. His back was hunched, and all he wanted was to stay away from the disease and be healthy...

After he walked away, Han Shuo jumped out and asked, "Sister-in-law, is this snake bed really that powerful?"

Chen Ruogu then remembered them and said with a gentle smile:
"It's not about how powerful the medicine is, but about being able to prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. Latent nephritis is not a difficult disease, and a few can heal on their own. It's just that he didn't receive timely treatment, which caused kidney damage. Once he finishes taking the medicine, his kidney function will be able to remain stable in the long term."

Han Shuo felt impressed and silently gave her a thumbs up. He said with a shameless face:

"Sister-in-law, why don't you take my pulse? I work day and night, and my body is seriously damaged..."

Before he could finish, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Yu Yuan.

"Didn't you do the physical examination I arranged every year? Go and do your business, don't waste time here."

Han Shuo dared not continue to talk too much. He said aggrievedly, "Don't be so oppressive. Even if I work like a slave for you, I still need time to breathe."

He walked to the gate and said to Ruogu, still unwilling to give up:
"Sister-in-law, I have to interview a new employee this afternoon. I will come back to bother you after I am done. You must feel my pulse then. I always feel that I have a potential disease that those medical devices may not be able to detect. The traditional Chinese medicine that our ancestors have passed down for thousands of years is still reliable."

Although Chen Ruogu had some opinions about Han Shuo, she still kept smiling without showing it. She said politely, "I'm in the clinic every day. I haven't set a day off yet. I will have two days off a week once things are on track."

Han Shuo agreed, "It's about combining work and rest. Resting is to get better at work. I'll leave first and come back when I have time."

Han Shuo left, He Hui and Chi Zhengzheng were done with their work, and Yu Yuan carefully looked at the layout of Jishidiang.

When light shines into the room through the windowsill, everything is shrouded in soft light, and the air is filled with a faint medicinal fragrance, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

Yu Yuan felt inexplicably at peace when he smelled the aroma of the medicine, and sleepiness came over him like a tide. He had suffered from insomnia for a long time. For countless nights, no matter how tired his body was, his brain seemed to be kidnapped. He tossed and turned but could not find the slightest trace of sleepiness.

His eyelids were a little heavy, and his body and mind were relaxed. Chen Ruogu saw it, walked to his side and whispered, "If you feel sleepy, go back to your room and sleep. The upstairs is well soundproofed. Jishidi Hall is too noisy with people coming and going."

Yu Yuan's eyes were dim and deep, and he looked at Ruogu with tenderness. His broad and powerful hands gently held Ruogu's soft palms, and he said in a calm tone:
"Come upstairs with me. You've been busy all morning."

Usually after lunch, she would let others take a nap, and she would sit on a recliner, watching the store while practicing the health-preserving formula. Yu Yuan's request was not excessive, and she would have to spend time with him alone sooner or later. After thinking it through, she would not refuse. She told He Hui:
"I'm going upstairs to take a nap. Call me if there's a patient coming."

He Hui hoped that the boss and his wife would have a harmonious relationship, so he quickly promised:

"Okay sister-in-law, I'm not going anywhere, you can rest in peace."

Seeing that Yu Yuan was extremely sleepy, Chen Ruogu hurriedly followed him upstairs to rest. After returning to the room, she went to the bathroom to change into pajamas. When she came out, the blackout curtains had been drawn. The room was dim, and the side where she usually slept was occupied by Yu Yuan.

Chen Ruogu had no choice but to lie down on the other side. She listened to Yu Yuan's breathing and knew that he was not asleep yet.

The old couple don't feel it's awkward to stay together even without talking. They sleep on either side of the two-meter bed without disturbing each other.

Chen Ruogu lay flat on her back, recalling her body's reaction when she saw Yu Yuan. The sour and palpitating feeling proved her original body's deep love for Yu Yuan. Even though she was no longer with us, that love never disappeared.

Chen Ruogu can avoid divorce, but she cannot stand her emotions being controlled, so she is trying to fight back. Fortunately, apart from the influence on her emotions, it does not manipulate her behavior, and this body is still under her control.

She glanced towards Yu Yuan. The two of them didn't need much verbal communication. It was actually quite good for them to just work hand in hand and depend on each other.

Chen Ruogu was used to sleeping on her right side. She turned her back to Yu Yuan, closed her eyes and began to practice health preservation techniques.

A gentle fragrance lingered at Yu Yuan's nose, which was unique to Chen Ruogu, like the morning dew in early summer, with a hint of sweetness and tranquility, drifting slowly and making people intoxicated.

He was a little confused, as the scent seemed different from before, but the couple had been separated for a long time, so he was not sure if he remembered it wrongly.

Besides, a woman's body fragrance is a reflection of her soul. Her thoughts are different now, so it is possible that the fragrance has changed. Now this fragrance is more to his liking.

The warmth of home cannot be replaced anywhere. Wherever Chen Ruogu is, there is Yu Yuan’s home.

Yu Yuan turned sideways and stretched out his arms to embrace Ruogu in his arms. His heart was broad and warm, his breath was as clear as a mountain spring, and his eyes were filled with deep affection for her.

The moment Chen Ruogu was hugged by him, her heart suddenly tightened. She resisted the urge to escape and did not resist. Fortunately, apart from the hug, there was no other action. Ruogu listened to the breathing sound beside her ear gradually becoming soft and even, and her body slowly relaxed...

Yu Yuan was an unfathomable man. How could he not notice Ruogu's body's rejection and resistance? But this was the result of his long-term neglect of her. He couldn't blame anyone else, and he could only slowly melt it away by himself...

After Han Shuo came out of Jishidiang, he went to check into the hotel. Besides him, there was another member of the company there. He would take over the management of the internet celebrity incubation company, and the team members went directly to the hotel conference room for the interview.

He originally didn't care much about this matter, but now he vowed to pick out the most capable employees. Of the first batch of twenty people he interviewed, he only kept two. Since he didn't find anyone he was interested in, he simply started looking for someone else.

He was discussing the details with his colleagues when his cell phone suddenly rang. He casually took out his phone, and when he saw the name on the caller ID, he subconsciously frowned and ran outside to answer the call.

After he had made sufficient mental preparations, he answered the phone and said with a smile on his face: "Sister Juan, how come you have time to call me? Isn't the company busy recently?" After Yu Yuan cancelled the studio, Fu Juan took out all her savings and reopened her own economic company despite owing a large foreign debt.

After all, she is an old hand in the circle, and many students from the acting department are willing to join her, so the company's development is quite promising.

However, the entertainment industry had gone through several rounds of changes, and she was already a thing of the past. She had finally given up her pride to give her newcomers a few opportunities to show their faces, but they were easily snatched away by others. This had happened more than once or twice, and she could no longer tolerate it, so she called Han Shuo to question him.

She said angrily, "Han Shuo, how do you manage your lackeys? Why do they keep snatching our resources? What's going on?"

Han Shuo followed Yu Yuan everywhere and didn't return to the company for a long time. He was confused and said:

"Sister Juan, calm down first. I don't know what's going on."

Fu Juan gnashed her teeth and said, "Go ask Ji Xi, that bitch is always trying to steal my opportunities. She has excluded my artists to the point where they are almost becoming amateurs. She snatches every opportunity. How can she be so mean?"

Han Shuo listened to her dirty talk and couldn't help but think of Chen Ruogu. Not only was she not as pretty as the boss lady, but she was also not as well-mannered. He couldn't understand why he had made such a mistake in judging her. Now was not the time to dwell on this matter, so he perfunctorily said:

"I remember that you and Ji Xi didn't get along well. When she first entered the industry, you did a lot of things to trip her up. Could this situation be a personal grudge?"

When Ji Xi arrived at the company, Fu Juan was at the peak of her career. Yu Yuan saw that Ji Xi was smart and good at socializing, so he wanted to make her his assistant. Fu Juan knew this and gave her a lot of trouble.

Fu Juan argued, "This is all in the past. She is petty for nitpicking."

Han Shuo smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do anything about her holding a grudge against me. She is now a key member of the company. I am nominally her superior, but in reality, our positions are equal. It's useless for you to come to me for this matter. She is also thinking about the interests of the company."

Fu Juan was so angry that she roared loudly, "I don't care what you do, I just want Ji Xi to apologize to me and avoid me next time you see me, otherwise don't blame me for exposing the fact that Yu Yuan is married and has children. Then I'll see how you end up."

The smile on Han Shuo's face gradually disappeared. He was not a kind person.

"Brother Yuan is already planning to make an official announcement, so it's okay for you to expose it in advance. After all, it was you who proposed the secret marriage in the first place, so don't blame us for throwing dirty water on you."

Fu Juan felt helpless, as if the situation was hopeless. If this matter couldn't even threaten them, then she would have no bargaining chips in her hands. She had no choice but to beg humbly, "Han Shuo, for the sake of our friendship over the years, please help me solve this problem. If this continues, my company will not be able to survive..."

Han Shuo had run out of patience with her, and the few remaining feelings he had for her were also exhausted. He said perfunctorily, "I'm on a business trip now. I'll ask Ji Xi for you when I get back."

This was obviously an excuse. Fu Juan was furious when she heard it, but she had no choice but to endure it.

Ever since she was kicked out by Yu Yuan, she has suffered a series of blows. She has long lost her previous high spirits. She has to accept her fate whether she wants to or not.

Chen Ruogu slept in Yu Yuan's arms for more than an hour. She was the only doctor in Jishidiang, and she had to show up all the time. She gently pried open Yu Yuan's broad hands and got out of bed carefully.

When she tiptoed into the bathroom, Yu Yuan opened his sleepy eyes, took a look, then closed his eyes and continued to sleep.

When Chen Ruogu went downstairs, he saw He Hui sorting out the medicine cabinet. He was a man who loved what he did. When he had time, he would read books on medicinal materials to ensure that he had sufficient knowledge reserves. Seeing Ruogu coming down, He Hui whispered:
"There was only a customer who came to buy Chinese patent medicine just now. Nothing much."

Chen Ruogu nodded and said gently: "If you are sleepy, go to your room and take a nap. I will stay here."

He Hui quickly refused, "I'm not sleepy anymore, I'd better continue to organize the medicine cabinet and see which medicines need to be restocked."

After hearing what he said, Chen Ruogu just let him do it. She picked up her notebook and wanted to record the recent medical records in detail. Although there was a computer to make medical records, she still liked to record them with a pen, as she always felt that this way it was more realistic.

Ruogu devotes her full energy to everything she does. While she was recording and thinking about whether there was a better treatment plan, a shadow suddenly appeared above her head. She quickly looked up and met Yu Yuan's deep eyes.

Chen Ruogu blurted out: "Why did you wake up so quickly?"

Yu Yuan's voice was a little hoarse, and he said naturally: "You have slept long enough. Xixi is reading in the room. It's not good to disturb her, so I came to work with you."

Chen Ruogu was so busy that she couldn't care about other people. She pointed to the recliner beside her and said, "Then you can lie down here and rest. You don't have to worry too much at home."

Yu Yuan nodded in agreement. He was wearing a baseball cap, so the upper half of his face was covered, making it difficult to see clearly. He did not disturb Ruogu, but just lay on the chair and watched her busy.

Until someone came to the clinic, He Hui was the first to speak:

"Sister, what can I do for you? Are you here to get some medicine or see a doctor?"

The woman who looked to be in her thirties or forties said anxiously:
"We came to see a doctor because my son was complaining of pain intermittently. Sometimes the pain was so severe that he couldn't sleep all night, but he didn't have any wounds on his body. We really didn't know what was going on."

The woman was wearing old-fashioned clothes, her skin was rough and dark, and her son beside her was also very reserved. Chen Ruogu comforted her:

"Don't worry, sister. I'll take the child's pulse first and then I'll know what's going on."

The woman dragged her son forward and said as she walked, "It shouldn't be a big problem. It hurts so much that his father and I are a little scared."

There are many children suffering from strange diseases these days, and they are afraid that they will find out a serious disease that can kill people. Chen Ruogu first carefully felt the child's pulse, asked some questions, and finally said:
"Don't worry, big sister. Your son is suffering from growing pains. It may be related to his rapid growth or excessive fatigue."

The woman pursed her lips and said angrily:

"It must be because his father made him work in the greenhouse and he got tired. I told him he was too young to do heavy work, but he insisted that his son needed to exercise since he was young, otherwise he would be lazy when he grows up... Doctor, can this disease be cured? We can't let him suffer so much all the time."

Chen Ruogu said gently: "I will give the child acupuncture treatment on the four Du points, which will relieve the pain. Don't worry too much."

My dear children, Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Happy Dragon Boat Festival! Happy Dragon Boat Festival! I have to say it three times because it is important.
