Chapter 51 Father is more valuable than daughter
Ruogu looked confident, as if everything was under her control.

It is the calm demeanor she displays that makes people look at ease.

Xi Xiulan looked at the silver needle in her hand without any doubt.

While the area was being disinfected, Director Chen walked over to Yu Yuan and asked quietly:

"Is your wife really a Chinese medicine doctor? Vertigo is not that easy to cure. Teacher Xi has been suffering from this disease for a long time."

Yu Yuan naturally trusted Ruogu deeply. He said calmly:
"My father-in-law is a famous local Chinese medicine practitioner, and my wife's family has a long history of medical training. You can question me, but you cannot question her medical skills."

Director Chen shut his mouth tactfully. Yu Yuan seemed to be gentle and polite, but he actually loved to hold grudges. He didn't want to be written down in his notebook for no reason. He turned his attention to Ruogu, wanting to see how she treated the disease.

I saw Ruogu twisting the needle with his fingers and gently inserting the slender silver needle into Teacher Xi's Zusanli, Fenglong, Neiguan and other acupoints.

As she gently twisted the silver needle, a stream of air rushed into Teacher Xi's body from the tip of the needle. She felt her body and mind relax instantly, and the dizzy feeling that had originally been spinning around disappeared.

For a minor illness like vertigo, it doesn't require too much Qi to stimulate the acupuncture points. Ruogu left the needle in her body and looked up at Teacher Xi's assistant and said:

"Please bring me a pen and paper. I need a prescription."

The young assistant took out a pen and paper from her bag and handed it over without hesitation. Not to mention that Teacher Xi's complexion was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, just because Ruogu was Yu Yuan's wife, she did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.

Ruogu took the paper and pen, and she leaned over to write. Her handwriting was beautiful and refreshing. The assistant admired it as if it were a work of art. Ruogu gently instructed:

"This medicine needs to be boiled in water and taken three times a day. Acupuncture will have to be performed again tomorrow."

The assistant nodded hurriedly and said gratefully, "Thank you, Doctor Chen! I've got it all down."

Ruogu didn't expect that she could come to visit him and cure his illness at the same time.

Director Chen really wanted to wait until the silver needle was removed to ask Xi Xiulan how she felt, but he had to film again and couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he had to leave first.

Yu Yuan noticed Director Chen leaving. He glanced at Teacher Xi, then squatted beside Ruogu's chair, put his hand on her leg, raised his head slightly, looked at her tenderly, and said in a mellow voice, "How long will it take to remove the needle?"

Ruogu looked back at him with eyes as calm as a lake, without a single ripple. She said calmly:

"Please wait twenty minutes before pulling it out. Go do your thing. I'll come find you when I'm done."

Yu Yuan reached out and tucked the broken hair behind her ears, his eyes full of undisguised love. He said in a steady voice, "Then I'll let Liao Dingmin stay here with you. Xixi will come with me. Call me if you need anything."

Yu Yuan's infatuated look surprised the onlookers. Xi Xiulan didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "Yu Yuan... no one dares to bully your wife here... you should leave now."

Yu Yuan stood up calmly and said, "Then I'll leave first."

Ruogu looked calm and said calmly, "I understand. Don't let the director and the others wait for you."

Yu Yuan nodded and turned to leave. When he was far away, Xi Xiulan couldn't help but teased:
"I really didn't expect Yu Yuan to be like this in private. He usually looks easygoing on the set but actually doesn't care about anyone. It turns out that his mind is on you. It's rare."

Ruogu did not get complacent after hearing this. She said calmly:
"Teacher Xi is joking. Brother Yuan is an introvert by nature, and some gossip media like to report nonsense news. If he is not careful, he will suffer."

Teacher Xi was deeply touched by these words. She sighed and said:

"You're right. Others only see how glamorous it is to be a star, but only those around you know the hardships involved. You're so considerate, no wonder Yu Yuan loves you."

Ruogu was not sure what to say. If she admitted it, she would be suspected of being arrogant. She smiled modestly and changed the subject:

"Teacher Xi, the time is up. Can we remove the needle now?"

Xi Xiulan didn't have time to chat, she said hurriedly: "You pull it out, I won't move."

Ruogu straightened up and raised his white and tender fingers, and with light and delicate techniques he pulled out the needles one by one. Teacher Xi felt his body and mind relaxed, as if every inch of his skin was enjoying the peace and comfort emanating from deep within his heart.

After all the needles were pulled out, she stood up and took Ruogu's hand, expressing her gratitude from the bottom of her heart: "Thank you so much. In the past, it took me three to five days to recover from my illness. I didn't expect that I would recover so quickly this time."

Ruogu put away the silver needle without changing her expression. She said gently, "Although acupuncture and moxibustion have a quick effect, medicine can play a consolidating role. You can't ignore it."

Xi Xiulan nodded hurriedly, "I'll take the medicine on time as you said, but how do you calculate the consultation fee?"

Ruogu said calmly, "This is not my clinic. You are Brother Yuan's friend, so I am just helping you. How can I charge you for the consultation?"

Teacher Xi said sternly, "You saved my life, how can I not accept your payment? It's not just today that I'm bothering you. I still need to give you acupuncture tomorrow, and I'll have to see you for a follow-up visit later. How can I go there if you don't charge me for the consultation?"

Ruogu said firmly: "If you pay for the consultation, I won't give you acupuncture tomorrow. The consultation fee is nothing. If there is anything that Brother Yuan does not do well in the future, I will be very grateful if you can point it out."

Xi Xiulan was slightly startled, then she laughed and exclaimed:

"No wonder Yu Yuan has been doing so well these years. With a good wife like you, it's hard for him not to be successful. I've taken note of what you said. If there's anything I can do to help in the future, I will definitely not be stingy."

Ruogu nodded slightly, and she said softly: "Then please wait a while, I will go to Brother Yuan first."

She came to the set occasionally and always had to look around. Xi Xiulan did not keep her. After watching Ruogu leave, she sat down to drink some water.

Liao Dingmin followed behind Ruogu and didn't know how to describe his feelings at the moment. The boss lady had only been here for a short time, but Xi Xiulan owed her such a big favor. She was Teacher Xi, who had the most mysterious background in the circle.

Liao Dingmin couldn't wait to tell Brother Yuan the news. He didn't even dare to think about whether she could have brought in more connections and resources if the boss's wife had shown up a few years ago.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Fu Juan was worthless. She was simply a stumbling block in Brother Yuan's development. If she hadn't gotten in the way, with this powerful couple joining forces, I'm afraid Ruoyuan would have become a giant by now.

Ruogu didn't care what Liao Dingmin thought. When she went over, Yu Yuan had just finished filming the last set of fighting scenes and was watching the finished film with Director Chen. When he saw Ruogu, he hurried over to her, holding her hand and saying, "Are you done? Is Teacher Xi okay?"

Ruogu nodded and said softly, "Give Teacher Xi another acupuncture treatment tomorrow, and she will be fine after taking some medicine to consolidate the effect."

Yu Yuan never doubted her ability and was not surprised. Liao Dingmin walked to Yu Yuan and whispered to him what Teacher Xi had just said. Yu Yuan's eyes darkened when he heard it. He gently pinched her fingers and said in a low voice: "You don't have to plan everything for me. I will take care of the things outside." Ruogu smiled at him and said indifferently: "We are husband and wife, and there is no need to distinguish some things so clearly. Aren't we all working for Xixi?"

Yu Yuan was amused by her words. He sighed and said, "You are right."

In his opinion, there is a deeper meaning in Ruogu's words. She will stay with him forever because they want to protect their daughter's growth together.

Yu Yuan didn’t mind why Ruogu was with him. As long as their family remained together, he would be happy even if the father relied on the daughter to gain status.

Ruogu frowned slightly. She came over but didn't see her daughter. She asked curiously, "Where is Huaixi?"

Director Chen was standing nearby, waiting for her to ask this question. He stretched his neck and answered:

"Huai Xi thinks the ancient costumes are very beautiful, so she wants to make a cameo appearance. She's going to change her clothes. Doctor Chen, our crew has hired the best designers in the industry for costumes and makeup. The ancient costumes are very beautiful. Why don't you make a cameo appearance as well, just like taking a photo shoot?"

Ruogu's decision was difficult to convince others. Her eyes were like a spring breeze, overflowing with tenderness and warmth. She said softly, "Thank you Director Chen for your kindness. I don't have to participate. Huaixi has a child's heart. If it's a role that doesn't require a lot of screen time, let her play if she wants."

Although Director Chen was somewhat disappointed, he was mentally prepared. He smiled bitterly and said:

"Such a likable character is something that no one else can hope for, but only you two despise him."

Ruogu didn't dislike it, she just felt it was meaningless. She turned her head and saw Huaixi walking towards her in a plain skirt.

Her attire at this moment was no different from when she was in the mansion, and Ruogu looked a little dazed.

Huai Xi was also deeply surprised when she saw herself in the mirror. This was clearly her original face, and this body fit her perfectly. Maybe she and the original owner were the same person.

Ruogu's expression was different but no one noticed. Everyone's eyes were focused on Huaixi. Director Chen was the happiest. He said excitedly:

"It's amazing. The way Huaixi walked just now was just like a real lady from ancient times. You really acted like yourself. Yu Yuan, how did you and your wife raise your daughter? She's so dignified at such a young age. She's definitely going to be amazing when she grows up."

Yu Yuan looked proud, but pretended to be reserved and said, "Director Chen, you are too kind. It's mainly because her mother taught her well, and Huaixi herself is also outstanding enough."

The complacency in his eyes made Director Chen's cheeks ache. He glanced at him with disdain and simply ignored him.

Ruogu ignored what they said. She walked to Huaixi, her face filled with the glow of motherhood. She raised her hand tenderly to straighten Huaixi's hair and said softly:
"My daughter is really beautiful. If you like, go ahead and play with her. It's harmless, don't take it too seriously."

Huaixi was in a good mood. She said excitedly, "Mom, I'll play with Dad for a while, and you sit and watch us perform."

Ruogu smiled and sat aside obediently. Yu Yuan walked up to her, put his arm around her shoulders, and carefully explained the movements to her.

Huaixi is very insightful and understands everything at a glance. The father and daughter communicate very smoothly.

After the official start of filming, Huaixi's performance made Director Chen's eyes sparkle with excitement. After taking one take, he was so full of inspiration that he actually added more roles for Huaixi. The newly added roles required some acting skills.

Yu Yuan broke it apart and crushed it to explain it to his daughter. Huai Xi listened very carefully. There was an indescribable aura in her eyes, which could infect everything around her.

During the formal filming, she integrated Professor Yu Yuan's techniques into her own hands and was able to handle the role with just the right amount of tension and tension.

After Director Chen called "Cut," he clapped his hands vigorously. He walked up to the father and daughter and said excitedly, "Do you have any plans to debut, Huaixi? I ​​can tailor a movie for you. I guarantee you'll be more popular than your father."

Huai Xi felt a little hot under the heavy dress. She wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a warm smile, "Thank you, Uncle Chen, for your kindness! I want to be a diplomat in the future, just like those people in the news. I'm afraid I won't set foot in the entertainment industry."

Her words made Yu Yuan raise his eyebrows. His daughter was talented. Yu Yuan knew better than anyone that the entertainment industry was not a good place to be, so he had no objection.

Director Chen said with a look of disappointment: "What's the point of being a diplomat? It's such a waste of your talent."

Huai Xi took off the hairpin from her head and said with a smile:

"Uncle Chen thinks I have talent in acting, but maybe I am more talented in other areas? I am determined to go into politics, and my goal is very clear."

Director Chen knew that this family was not simple, so he stopped trying to persuade them and said flatteringly with a frown on his face: "It's okay if you don't want to be an actor. If there is a suitable role in the future, you have to help out. Uncle Chen's salary is not low. How about you just think of it as earning a living for yourself?"

Huai Xi said without hesitation: "Okay~ If Uncle Chen needs anything and I'm free, I will definitely come to help."

Director Chen originally thought that she would refuse, but unexpectedly she agreed. Her face was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately showed surprise.

"Okay, okay... You promised me this yourself. Your parents heard it. You can't go back on your word."

Huai Xi winked playfully and said in a brisk voice, "I keep my word. Please don't assign me a heavy role. I just want to earn enough to live on and reduce my father's burden."

Director Chen liked this girl's personality so much that he couldn't stop smiling.

"Okay~ If your father can't afford to support you, you can come to my house and be my daughter. It just so happens that I have two sons, and my wife wants a daughter."

Yu Yuan was so upset. These two were just wishful thinking. He held his daughter in his arms and said coldly, "If you want your daughter to give birth to you, go ahead and give it to yourself. You are not even fifty yet, so you can try again."

Director Chen's beard stood up in anger, and he said unhappily:

"How can you talk like that? My wife's body is so weak that she can't even regenerate. Don't be so proud. I'll let the eldest and second sons chase Huai Xi and let them pick any one they want. When they become my daughters-in-law in the future, they still have to call me dad."

Yu Yuan's face darkened. He said bluntly, "Don't even think about it. Your two sons are so good-looking. Can they match my daughter? Don't dream."

Director Chen was open-minded. He and Yu Yuan were old friends and they often made such harmless jokes, so he was not angry. He put his hands on his waist and bulged his beer belly and retorted loudly:

"My son is only so old, he still has room to grow. I am ugly, but my wife is so beautiful. My little son looks so much like his mother, he will definitely have a good future. Our family is rich, and if Huaixi wants to be a diplomat, we will fully support him. It's great to have such a strong alliance!"

Yu Yuan didn't love his daughter enough, so how could he accept her getting married? He said to Huai Xi:
"Don't listen to this lunatic. What's the point of getting married? We're not in a hurry. Dad will help you remove your makeup and we'll go home."

Huaixi acted well-behaved and followed her father obediently.

Ruogu followed behind with deep eyes. She was not mistaken. Yu Yuan cared about Huai Xi as much as she did...
