Chapter 40 Moral Kidnapping
Huai Xi kept her distance from him and ignored everything he did.

Fang Mingxu just felt very choked up in his heart, as if there was a stone pressing on his chest and he couldn't breathe easily.

He finally realized his earlier mistakes and admitted that his behavior was inappropriate.

When Huai Xi turned and left, Fang Mingxu opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

Huai Xi did not give Fang Mingxu the chance to get close to her. She thought Fang Mingxu was too proud to come close to her. However, the facts were very disappointing. After school at noon, he insisted on following her and no matter how she tried to drive him away, it was useless.

Along the way, Huaixi's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud. She couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned around and yelled at Fang Mingxu: "I'm almost home, please don't follow me."

Fang Mingxu blinked his eyes and said nothing. He looked calm and was not affected by Huai Xi at all. He was determined to follow her to Jishidiang, even if she got angry, he would follow her with a thick face.

Huai Xi was well-mannered and could not say anything unpleasant, so he could only walk forward again angrily.

Chi Zhengzheng was wiping the door of Jishiditang with a rag. When he looked up, he saw Huai Xi walking towards him with a frown on his face and a drooping mouth.

Chi Zhengzheng stopped what he was doing and walked over to her, startled and asked, "Huai Xi, have you been bullied? Why are you so unhappy?"

Chi Zhengzheng didn't notice Fang Mingxu following behind her. Huai Xi said unhappily, "No one is bullying me. It's just that there's a follower following me that I can't get rid of."

Chi Zhengzheng turned her head and met Fang Mingxu's eyes. She thought that such a handsome boy should not have bad behavior. She pinched her waist and raised her voice to threaten:
"Why are you following our Huai Xi? You are so young and don't behave well. Be careful or I will go to school and complain to your class teacher."

Fang Mingxu had never been accused of being a bad student. He had a handsome face and a sweet smile, revealing a harmless temperament. He said politely:
"Sister, you misunderstood. I didn't follow Yu Huaixi on purpose. I just wanted to go with her to Jishiditang to thank Aunt Chen. She bandaged my knee injury last time, so I specially prepared a thank-you gift for her."

He raised the gift box in his hand. Chi Zhengzheng looked at Huai Xi suspiciously, not knowing whether he should believe him or not.

He had followed her to the doorstep, and Huai Xi couldn't really chase him away. She didn't want to continue wasting time on him, so she said simply, "Sister Zheng Zheng, if he wants to see my mother, let him see her. Don't bother with anything else."

After she finished speaking, she strode into the room without even looking at Fang Mingxu. Chi Zhengzheng said with a smile, "How did you offend our Xixi? She is usually very polite to others and has never treated anyone like this. You must have made her angry."

Fang Mingxu looked distressed. He said helplessly, "She and I went to the same school before. Because of a misunderstanding, she was wronged. I can understand her anger."

Chi Zhengzheng was not particularly curious about what was going on between the children, so she just took Fang Mingxu inside.

Ruogu had just finished prescribing medicine for the patient. She put down her pen and looked up to see Fang Mingxu holding a gift box, standing stiffly in front of her. Ruogu said in a gentle tone, "Why are you here, Mr. Fang? Has the wound on your knee scabbed over?"

Fang Mingxu was very happy to hear that she recognized him. His face was full of innocence and flawlessness, like a piece of white unpolished jade. He said carefully:
"Auntie, I came to thank you. My pocket money is limited, so I only picked a set of ordinary pens. I hope you can accept them."

Chen Ruogu had a headache. Why did someone always give her gifts recently? She said helplessly:

"Thank you very much for preparing such a gift for me, but I cannot accept it. It's just a piece of cake to help you bandage it. You don't have to worry too much about it."

Fang Mingxu was a little disappointed. His fingers holding the gift box turned slightly white and he looked dejected.

Huai Xi stood by and watched, as if he had nothing to do with all this. Chi Zhengzheng felt a little sorry for him, so he stepped forward to smooth things over and said:

"I think this box is quite exquisite. Fang must have put a lot of effort into choosing it. If it's not something valuable, Sister Ruogu should accept it..."

Before she could finish her words, she was glanced at by Ruogu with a rather intimidating look. Chi Zhengzheng panicked and quickly found an excuse to slip away.

"Well, I'll go to the kitchen to help and see if Sister Yang has finished cooking. You two can chat slowly..."

She ran faster than a rabbit. Fang Mingxu could only sigh at her back. Huai Xi raised his eyebrows and asked bluntly:
"I was the one who spoke up to help you out that day, so why didn't you thank me? You tried every means to get close to my mother. What on earth are you planning?"

Ruogu did not say anything to stop her when she said this. He just cleaned the table as if nothing had happened and let Huaixi handle it.

Fang Mingxu was a little at a loss when asked by her. Although he looked calmer than his peers, he lacked experience and could not hide his intentions.

Yu Huaixi's aggressiveness left him with no way to avoid it, so he had to stammer and tell the truth.

"I have no bad intentions, I just want to see more of my aunt... Her eyes are very similar to my mother's... Her smile is very warm... I have only watched my mother's videos, and I am afraid I will forget her..."

After he said this, Huaixi's face became even uglier. She said sinisterly:
"You came to my house to steal my mom, and you said you had no bad intentions. Fang Mingxu, are you here to provoke me?"

The originally somewhat sad atmosphere was instantly dissipated by her words. Fang Mingxu stammered, "How is it possible... I just want to take a closer look. If Auntie is willing, I would also like to find a godmother for myself..."

Huai Xi turned around and took out a broom from the corner. She said with a gloomy face:

"You shameless thing, you still have the nerve to claim to be my godmother, get out of my house right now, or I'll beat you up..."

She raised her hand holding the broom high, as if she was ready to fight. Ruogu shook his head and laughed, walked up to her, took the broom from her hand, and said angrily:

"It's not a big deal, don't just say that. Go wash your hands and have dinner."

Huai Xi took advantage of the situation and put his arm around her waist, saying angrily, "Then tell him to leave quickly. I don't want to see him again."

If Fang Mingxu hadn't come suddenly, she wouldn't have realized how precious her mother was. It would be strange for Huaixi to be happy that someone else wanted to snatch the motherly love that naturally belonged to her.

Ruogu followed Huaixi's back and said, "Here we are guests, we must not be rude."

She used the word "guest" just right. After Huaixi calmed down, she said to Fang Mingxu:
"You are young and don't know much, so you can't just casually recognize a godmother. You can take the gifts back. It's okay for you to come over and have a meal occasionally."

Fang Mingxu was very satisfied with this answer. He smiled brightly and said excitedly, "Thank you, Auntie..."

Ruogu waved her hand nonchalantly and said softly, "You and Huaixi should go wash your hands together. Dinner will be served soon."

The opportunity to spend time with Ruogu was a rare one, and Fang Mingxu didn't want to waste time, so he quickly ran to the backyard.

Huai Xi didn't have time to act coquettishly with Ruogu, and immediately followed behind him and warned: "Fang Mingxu, this is my home, you should have some manners and don't take yourself too seriously..."

Ruogu rarely saw Huaixi like this. She finally had the vigor of her age, just like the morning sunshine, bright and hot.

This lunch at Jishidiang is destined to be lively. At the same time, Ji Xi is bringing his artists out to participate in the event.

As soon as he entered the banquet hall, Ji Xi saw Fu Juan busy trying to get close to people. She had thick makeup on her face and looked servile and fawning.

Fu Juan straightened up and saw Ji Xi, her face suddenly turned gloomy. She didn't want Ji Xi to laugh at her, so she stopped chatting with that person.

Ji Xi was too lazy to pay attention to her, and whispered to the artists to go socialize on their own. She was only responsible for bringing them here today, and whether they could get resources depended on their own abilities. Ji Xi had just picked up the champagne and took a sip when Fu Juan came over arrogantly.

Han Shuo had pleaded for her before, so Ji Xi did not continue to suppress her. After all, she had to give Han Shuo some face.

Unexpectedly, the two met again. Before Ji Xi did anything, she came jumping around first.

Fu Juan looked at her critically and said sharply:
"You're wearing something other than the latest fashion of the season for such an important occasion. It seems like you're not doing very well around Yu Yuan."

Ji Xi's eyes were full of contempt, and she said with a smile:

"What about the one you're wearing? It's from a niche brand, right? I've never seen it before. According to what you said, aren't you doing even worse?"

Fu Juan was annoyed by her arrogant attitude. She said in a stiff tone:

"I'm mainly here to show the newcomers the world, not to compete with you. You have no vision."

Ji Xi applauded her exaggeratedly and said sarcastically:
"You've said all the good and bad things. Regardless of whether I have a vision or not, at least I'm standing higher than you and doing better in my career than you. Look at yourself, what do you have now?"

Fu Juan clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging into her flesh. She said:

"I have my own company, and I am working hard for my own career. Unlike you, no matter how much you do, you are working for others."

Ji Xi took a sip of wine and said calmly:

"Then I wish your company to be among the Fortune 500 soon. Let me ask you a question off topic. Have you seen our boss's wife's short video recently?"

Fu Juan didn't know what she meant and shook her head subconsciously. Ji Xi enjoyed watching the fun.

"I remember you spread rumors before, saying that the boss's wife was a housewife who knew nothing. After watching the video, I realized that she is not only a superb doctor, but also has a much better appearance than you. You are not ashamed of yourself or jealous, so you said that?"

It was extremely difficult for Fu Juan to support the company. She spent all her time on the company and could not even take care of her son. How could she have the leisure to watch short videos? Hearing this, she gritted her teeth and said:
"I didn't spread rumors. What I have, she will never get in her life. Why should I be jealous of her? Don't throw dirty water on me."

Ji Xi shrugged indifferently and said meaningfully:
"You know whether I have thrown dirty water on you or not. I believe the boss lady will not forget what you have done. Do you think she will take action against you when she is free?"

Fu Juan's face turned pale when she heard this. She had something to hide. If Chen Ruogu didn't let her go, she would have no way out.

Ji Xi enjoyed enjoying her fear. This woman was narrow-minded and always judged others by herself. Sooner or later, she would kill herself. Ji Xi was waiting to see what would happen to her.

Because of the Chen Ruogu episode, Fu Juan no longer had the heart to argue with Ji Xi. She was mentally exhausted, always feeling that Chen Ruogu would come after her sooner or later to settle the score. She even forgot to introduce resources to her new people and left the event early before it was over.

She returned home and couldn't wait to look for the video online. She thought Ji Xi was deliberately exaggerating to stimulate her.

When she saw the incredibly beautiful Chen Ruogu in the video, with her exquisite acupuncture skills, she suddenly felt as if a dark cloud was gathering over her head, making it hard for her to breathe.

If Chen Ruogu continued to be a housewife as before, she would be nothing more than a decoration even if Yu Yuan made his marriage public.

But she is very capable and her influence on the Internet is growing. If she really wants to hold a grudge, she will cause trouble sooner or later.

Fu Juan thought about what she had done in the past few years and sweat broke out on her back due to guilt. She gritted her teeth and forced herself to calm down.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in her head, and she suddenly remembered that a distant cousin in her hometown had narcolepsy and had been in the hospital for four or five years but to no avail. She didn't believe that Chen Ruogu's medical skills were so powerful that he could even cure strange diseases.

She stood up and paced around the room. She had to make good use of this incident and try her best to ruin Chen Ruogu's reputation.

Fu Juan once had a glorious past, and no one can erase her achievements. She had everything, whether scheming or means.

She first contacted her cousin's family and tricked them into believing that Chen Ruogu could cure narcolepsy. She taught them step by step how to post videos online to gain attention. This way, she could earn some living expenses and force Chen Ruogu to treat him, killing two birds with one stone.

Her cousin's family were all honest people. They believed her words and started shooting short videos quickly according to her instructions.

In order to make the video popular in the short term, Fu Juan invested a lot of money, and the money was not wasted, as the effect was very good.

Their account quickly gained a lot of followers, and many enthusiastic netizens recommended famous doctors to them, but my cousin's family had a clear goal, and no matter how good the doctors recommended by others were, they ignored them.

Until a fan mentioned Chen Ruogu, they immediately got involved and kept leaving messages under the video to talk about how miserable their family was, saying that Hu Xuyang's future was ruined by the disease, and they kept begging Dr. Chen to treat him.

By the time Xie Bin discovered something was wrong, public opinion had already been led astray by them, and there were all kinds of comments online.

"Doctor Chen, please save Hu Xuyang. He is only 21 years old. If he continues to sleep, his life will be over."

"We can crowdfund Hu Xuyang's medical expenses, as long as Dr. Chen is willing to treat him."

"Dr. Chen has no good heart. She ignored all of our messages."

There were also people who saw the signs and spoke up for justice, but no one believed them, and the matter snowballed into something bigger and bigger.

When Xie Bin rushed to Jishidiang, Chen Ruogu was giving acupuncture to a patient.

Things have escalated to this point. There is no point in being anxious. It is the same whether you respond early or late. The key still depends on Ruogu's attitude.

When Chi Zhengzheng saw Xie Bin, she knew what was going on. She said anxiously:

"Xie Bin, what should we do? Everyone is calling on Sister Ruogu to treat Hu Xuyang. I have never heard of narcolepsy. What if she can't cure it?"

Yes, what if the disease cannot be cured? This is also the issue that Xie Bin is most concerned about.

He had anticipated such a situation. Doctors' job is to cure illnesses and save lives. As long as people with ulterior motives use moral kidnapping, they will be in a difficult situation.

Xie Bin didn't have a smile on his face. Instead of answering, he asked:

"First, tell me how good Sister Ruogu's medical skills are?"

Chi Zhengzheng said firmly: "Sister Ruogu's medical skills are perfect and no one can beat her."

Xie Bin nodded and said with a smile, "Since Sister Ruogu is so powerful, then we have nothing to worry about. Let those people with ulterior motives wait to be slapped in the face."
