Chapter 46 Kindness, Generosity and Pattern
Ranran felt herself being swallowed by thick darkness. She could not control her body and fell into the abyss involuntarily.

Until a warm current flowed into her body, she felt like being dragged out of the darkness and finally breathed fresh air again.

She slowly opened her eyes and vaguely saw Ruogu's strange yet familiar face, but she couldn't remember who it was.

She was too tired, her heart was like a withered leaf, falling lightly without any strength to support it.

Seeing her close her eyes and fall asleep again, Pan Dongsheng stood by and said anxiously:

"Doctor Chen, why did Ran Ran faint again? Is she in danger? If she is seriously ill, I will call an ambulance..."

Chen Ruogu raised his head and glanced at him, saying without any sadness or joy:
"She just fell asleep due to mental exhaustion. She will be fine when she wakes up tomorrow."

Sister Yang was holding her son and patting his little butt to comfort him. Upon hearing this, she frowned and scolded him:

"Can't you see that Ran Ran's face has returned to normal? How did you treat her normally? Why would she be so depressed and self-harm?"

Hearing Sister Yang's question, Aunt Li from the bun shop next door spoke up for her:
"Ran Ran has such a good personality. She greets everyone with a smile. Your mother always picks on her every time she comes over. Did you and your son bully her again? Otherwise, how could she end up like this?"

Pan Dongsheng quickly denied it, "I didn't bully her. My mother hasn't come over these days, so how could I bully her? She got depressed after giving birth, and she couldn't get over it..."

Sister Yang didn't believe him. She hated men who bullied their wives the most. She said unhappily:

"Even if she has depression, it's because you, as a husband, haven't done a good enough job. Ranran left her hometown to marry me, and this is what happened to her. You still have the nerve to pass the blame on her. Are you still a man?"

Aunt Li was filled with righteous indignation and said, "He just doesn't know how to appreciate the good things he has. His mother is even worse. She even slapped Ranran in the face. What kind of mother-in-law would be like that? Even for the sake of her grandson, she shouldn't be so excessive."

Pan Dongsheng's face turned pale and blue at the neighbors' scolding. He simply ignored them and said to Chen Ruogu with a cold face: "Since we just want to sleep, I will carry her upstairs to her room to sleep."

Ran Ran was placed on a recliner in the stationery store. Ruogu said calmly, "Wait for me to take out the needle, then you can carry her up."

Ruogu's hands were very deft. With a few gentle movements, all the silver needles were removed. Pan Dongsheng couldn't stand everyone's pointing fingers, so he bent down, picked up Ran Ran and was about to leave. Ruogu said without any emotion:

"Although her illness is related to childbirth, the negative impact of her partner and family members is the catalyst. If you don't pay attention to it, your son may become the biggest victim."

With the development of online information, it is not uncommon to see women committing suicide with their children in the news. When Pan Dongsheng heard this, his body trembled and he stood still as if he had been electrocuted. An indescribable fear spread in his heart.

Ruogu didn't even look at his reaction after she finished speaking. She turned around and said to Sister Yang, "I'm going to pick up Huaixi from school. You take care of the child and go home to rest early."

Sister Yang nodded in agreement. When Pan Dongsheng calmed down and looked back, he only saw her graceful back, like mist in the morning light, slowly leaving...

Ruogu doesn't like to interfere in other people's family affairs unless human life is at stake. Although Ranran can be saved this time, she may not be so lucky next time.

By the time she took Huaixi home, Pan Dongsheng's stationery store had closed and the neighbors had all dispersed. It was unknown what people would say about this matter behind her back, but it was good that no one was hurt.

Huai Xi was very happy to know that Zhou Hexuan had left. The look in his eyes, as if he wanted to steal her home as his daughter, was really hard to resist.

After returning home and taking a shower, Huai Xi remembered to open the gift. Just as she put the gift on the bed, the WeChat ringtone rang again. Huai Xi saw that it was her father calling, so she answered it without hesitation.

Yu Yuan on the other end of the video had just finished taking a shower, his hair was still dripping with water, and he opened his mouth and asked:

"Xixi, where is your mother? Why is no one answering the phone?"

Huai Xi put the phone on the stand and said in a clear voice, "Mom was disinfecting the needles, so she probably wasn't paying attention to her phone. Do you have something to talk to her about? Let me call her?"

Yu Yuan shook his head and chuckled, "Then don't bother Mom. Have you seen Uncle Zhou today? How is he?"

Huai Xi didn't intend to pretend too much in front of Yu Yuan. She said helplessly:

"Uncle Zhou is good-looking and talented in music, but he is too extroverted and seems to have the potential to commit crimes."

Yu Yuan frowned slightly and asked nervously, "Did he bully you?"

Huai Xi quickly shook her head and said with a smile, "He didn't bully me, he just wanted to take me home as his daughter. His eager eyes were scary."

Yu Yuan's expression relaxed. He sat on the chair and explained softly:

"He loves his daughter very much, but he hasn't found a suitable partner to have children with. Let him have a good time."

Huai Xi smiled but didn't say anything. She didn't know Zhou Hexuan and didn't have much interaction with him in life, so there was no need to pay too much attention. She opened the gift box with great interest and saw a jewelry necklace inside.

The necklace is delicately crafted, and each gem is polished to be very round. Under the refraction of light, it emits a colorful glow, making people love it.

Huai Xi picked up the necklace and put it on her neck. It looked sparkling. She said happily, "Dad, does the necklace look good? Isn't this gift too expensive?"

Huai Xi had seen good things before, so she could tell that the necklace was worth a lot of money. Yu Yuan admired his daughter's natural elegance and said calmly:

"This necklace will look good on you. Zhou Hexuan has good taste. I remember he bought it at an auction. I can't remember which country's princess it belonged to. It's an antique and has great collection value."

When Huai Xi heard this, countless little stars twinkled in her eyes. She smiled like a money-grubber and couldn't stop. She said in a brisk voice:
"Then I have to keep it well. I have to get up early for school tomorrow. I should go to bed. Dad, if you have nothing else to say, I'll hang up first?"

Yu Yuan hurriedly reminded him, "Don't forget to discuss the short vacation with your mother. I have arranged for someone to clean up the villa and bought a lot of things according to your preferences. I'm sure you will like it when you come."

Huaixi yawned. She didn't take it to heart and said indifferently, "I know. Don't worry. Mom will agree."

Yu Yuan didn't get a definite answer from Ruogu, and he was always uneasy, but he couldn't bear to disturb his daughter's rest, so he hung up the video.

He was left with his emotions fluctuating in the midst of anxiety and fear, like dancing on the edge of a cliff, unable to settle down. Compared with him, Ruogu was the one with a strong heart. She was never afraid of loneliness and was very good at finding herself. Her happiness or sorrow never depended on others, so she could not understand Yu Yuan's feelings.

Although Huaixi was very sleepy, after hearing her mother coming upstairs, she still got up and told her what Yu Yuan said.

Ruogu was thinking about whether there was a better treatment for postpartum depression. After hearing her daughter's words, she said calmly:

"It's up to you to decide. If you want Mom to accompany you, then Mom will go with Sister Yang. If you don't want us to stay at home, we only have a few days off anyway."

This answer was the same as Huaixi expected. She rubbed her eyes and made it clear that she hoped her mother could accompany her when she went out. Ruogu nodded and agreed. The matter was settled. She turned around and went back to her room to sleep. Ruogu waited until her daughter left before turning off the lights in the living room and returning to her room.

She found that her original body's obsession was not as strong. Even if she was in the same room with Yu Yuan, her own consciousness could prevail. Perhaps the change in Yu Yuan's attitude allowed the original body to achieve perfection in some sense.

It would be best if the relationship was not affected. Although Ruogu did not plan to divorce, she did not want to be obsessed with a man. Now that everything was developing in the direction she wanted, how could she not be happy.

Ruogu broke free from the shackles in the name of love, but Ranran was still struggling. She slept until dawn, and when she regained consciousness, she heard her son's hoarse cry, which showed that he was hungry.

Pan Dongsheng was trying to coax his son anxiously. He usually fed his son with a combination of milk, but today, he refused to drink the prepared milk. He spit it out as soon as he put it in his mouth, which constantly challenged his patience.

Pan Dongsheng put the bottle heavily on the table, threw the child on the bed, walked straight to the window and opened the curtains. The dazzling sunlight immediately brightened the dim room.

Pan Dongsheng tore off the quilt on Ran Ran and said angrily:

"You were clearly awake, but you didn't do anything when you heard your son crying. I took care of him all night, and the store is still closed. I still have a lot of things to do at home. Can you please stop doing that and live a good life?"

Ran Ran turned her head and looked at him blankly, and said in a hoarse voice: "If you agree to give my son to me, we can divorce immediately."

Pan Dongsheng's eyes widened, his breathing became rapid, and he said angrily:
"Don't even think about it! My son is the product of our Pan family. Why should I let you take him away? Since we got married, you have been eating my food and wearing my clothes. I have spent so much money on you. Do you want a divorce? If you want to leave, then you have to give me 500,000 yuan for mental damages first."

Ran Ran laughed angrily, her tears unconsciously rolled down her cheeks, and she said weakly:

"I used to have a job, but after I got pregnant, you took the initiative to quit my job. Now you blame me for spending your money. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Pan Dongsheng said confidently: "You also know that you are pregnant. At that time, your fetus was unstable. If you don't quit your job to recuperate, can you keep the baby?"

Ran Ran wiped the tears from her face vigorously and said sarcastically:

"Don't give me these high-sounding excuses. It's you who are not ambitious and spend all your time playing games in this shabby little shop. You are afraid that my career will be too successful and I will look down on you, so you want to use the child to trap me. Don't you think I don't know?"

Pan Dongsheng's pupils shrank slightly, and he asked coldly: "Are you really so cruel that you want to abandon your son?"

Ran Ran sneered, "I'm almost being driven to death by your family, and you still have the nerve to say that I'm cruel. You don't have to divorce me, so let your mother take care of our son, and I'll go out to work. If you don't want to, then our whole family will die together. Anyway, I have depression, and I can do anything."

Pan Dongsheng felt that Ranran had become cruel. He didn't want to continue arguing with her, so he didn't respond and just picked up his son and stuffed him into her hands.

"I have to open the business, you can do whatever you want."

Ran Ran took over her crying son, looked up at Pan Dongsheng's fleeing back, and was slightly distracted...

At the same time, in Jishitang, Ruogu had just finished giving Hu Xuyang an acupuncture injection. Uncle Hu and Aunt Hu walked up and asked nervously, "Doctor Chen, can our Xuyang work normally after he recovers?"

Ruogu nodded and said gently, "When this course of treatment is over, his body will be fine and he can go out to work normally. You don't have to worry too much."

Uncle Hu smiled happily when he heard that. Hu Xuyang was in a good mood too. He had improved his nutrition recently and looked much better.

Hu Xuyang was smarter than his parents, and he was sincerely grateful to Ruogu. Before leaving, he said to Ruogu, "Doctor Chen, do you know Fu Juan?"

Ruogu was not surprised to hear the name from him. She had already heard what she should know from He Hui. She said calmly, "I have a grudge against her. What do you want to say?"

Hu Xuyang smiled awkwardly, and he mustered up the courage to say:
"I'm sorry, Doctor Chen! We didn't know you had a grudge against her beforehand. She was the one who instigated me behind the scenes and used public opinion to blackmail you. I don't know if she will continue to do evil, so I still want to remind you to be careful."

Ruogu understood, she smiled and said softly:
"Thank you for reminding me. I know what's going on. Just take care of your health and don't think too much about it."

Hu Xuyang hummed. He felt relieved after he finished speaking. After watching the three of them leave, He Hui said, "This kid still has some conscience. Fu Juan hasn't made any moves yet, but Brother Yuan said that this matter will not be easily let go."

Ruogu's expression remained unchanged. She put the items on the table in order and said calmly:

"It's fine as long as I don't suffer any loss. After all, she has helped Brother Yuan. Let's kill her and let her do whatever she wants."

Anyway, no matter how much she tries, she can't get Yu Yuan. Letting her watch Yu Yuan love her and her daughter may be more painful than killing her.

Ruogu doesn't like to force people into desperate situations. She still has Huai Xi. A desperate person can do anything. She can't afford to take the risk.

He Hui didn't know what she was thinking, and he privately expressed his feelings to Ji Xi, saying that the proprietress was kind, generous and had a broad mind. Ji Xi smiled and said nothing. Men are naive, stupid and simple-minded, and they will never figure things out unless they fall into their own trap.

When there were not many patients left at Jishidiang, Ranran took his son there again.

She was wearing a white dress with floral patterns, and her son was also dressed neatly. She smiled as soon as she saw Ruogu, and the despairing expression on her face was gone.

Sister Yang curiously took her son and coaxed him to play, allowing the two of them to talk for a while.

Ran Ran looked at Ruo Gu and smiled slightly. She said embarrassedly:

"Thank you, Doctor Chen, for saving my life. I am sorry for causing you trouble."

Ruogu shook his head, extended his hand to invite her to sit, and asked softly: "Have you thought it through?"
