Chapter 7: Sudden Collapse and Fainting
When he saw the message Chen Ruogu sent him last time, he felt anxious for no reason.

It was an indescribable feeling, but I only felt at ease when I called her and heard her voice.

Fate has arranged everything, and he doesn't intend to make any trouble or fuss.

He and Chen Ruogu were destined to be inseparable in this life. He accepted his fate and felt calm inside.

Huaixi is his only daughter, and he has only hugged her a few times. If he were to ask himself honestly, he would feel that he owes too much to both mother and daughter.

If he had made changes to resolve the conflict, the family might not have to break up.

Yu Yuan has a successful career and is now at the top of the pyramid. He is not interested in women and is spiritually rich. What he desires most is to live a stable and down-to-earth life.

Chen Ruogu's choice to return to her hometown of Wanling and reopen Jishidiang may be an attempt to find herself. She was actively looking for a way out for this marriage, so how could he let her down?

He Hui had no idea that his boss had already deserted his post as he spoke so dry-mouthed.

"Brother Yuan, why have you never mentioned that sister-in-law has superb medical skills? When I did the acupuncture, I clearly felt the air flow through my body, and the stones were easily discharged. She is really amazing."

Yu Yuan was pulled back to his senses by him. He frowned and thought intently, pinching his palms unconsciously. Is A Gu's medical skills very good?
He only remembered that when he was not feeling well, she would take his pulse, boil bitter and unpleasant-smelling medicine at home, and massage his acupuncture points to relieve his fatigue.

"Agu has never worked outside, but she received scholarships while studying. My father-in-law is also a famous local Chinese medicine practitioner, and her family has a long history of Chinese medicine."

After hearing this, He Hui felt that it was Yu Yuan who delayed Chen Ruogu's development. It was quite miserable for the woman behind the movie emperor. She had sacrificed for him for more than ten years and there was still the risk of being replaced. It would be better for her to marry an ordinary person.

He Hui only dared to whisper a few words in his heart. Matters of the heart are a matter of mutual consent, so outsiders would not comment.

"Then sister-in-law will have no problem opening a clinic. Do you have anything else to tell me?"

Yu Yuan still has a lot of work to do and can't do anything in the short term. He said in a deep voice:

"Take care of them first, and come back to the company after they are settled. If there are any special situations, call me to report."

He Hui agreed readily, and before hanging up the phone, he expressed his loyalty.

It's good that he is willing to take charge. As workers, they naturally hope that the boss's family is harmonious. What if the boss's wife collapses?

Yu Yuan wondered what his daughter's hobbies were, but he had no idea no matter how hard he tried. In the blink of an eye, she had grown into a girl of thirteen or fourteen.

It turns out that A Gu's medical skills are as good as his father-in-law's. No wonder the old man often felt regretful when he was alive. He had neglected too much.

When Han Shuo came over, he was shocked to see Yu Yuan blaming himself with a heavy and painful expression.

"Old Yu, you can't do that. If the filming is not good, just reshoot it. If you really want to change the actress, then do it. It's just a matter of spending a little more money. Don't make yourself depressed."

There are many celebrities in the circle who suffer from depression, and one of them committed suicide two months ago. They all rely on Yu Yuan for their livelihood, so there can't be any mistakes.

Yu Yuan restrained his emotions, looked over expressionlessly, and said calmly:
"Don't make up your own mind. What did Zhou Tong say?"

It was still a familiar tune. Han Shuo relaxed, the corners of his lips raised and he said with pride:
"What else can she say? It's not like we can't find someone with a bigger presence than her. We can just eat, change clothes, and start filming again. It won't delay anything."

Yu Yuan nodded. He had no sympathy for the actresses he worked with. He glanced at Han Shuo and said nonchalantly:
"After the movie is released, I plan to make an official announcement. The identities of A Gu and Huai Xi have been hidden for too long."

Han Shuo paused holding the lighter, and said in disbelief, holding the cigarette between his lips:

"Is this true? The disclosure of my sister-in-law's identity may cause outrage among fans, with disastrous consequences! Have you thought about this?"

Yu Yuan put his hands in his pockets and said firmly, "So what? I can't keep my marriage secret forever. It's not fair to them. What have I been fighting for for half my life?"

Han Shuo put the cigarette behind his ear and said solemnly, "Old Yu, are you serious? Didn't you say you were considering divorce last time? Why did you change your mind again?"

Yu Yuan looked at him with a scrutinizing look, as if he suspected that he had done something behind his back, and said in a cold tone:

"You really want my family to break up? I haven't told you in detail about our relationship. Where did you hear it from?"

Han Shuo waved his hands quickly and explained hurriedly:
"I just heard it from Sister Juan. She is your agent, so she naturally doesn't want you to reveal your married status. Besides, your wife is really clingy and is obviously holding you back. It would be better for you to develop separately from her."

Yu Yuan felt as if he had just woken up from a dream. His partners actually disliked A Gu so much. She must have felt it too, which was why she felt so insecure.

He felt as if his heart was cut by an icy knife, the chill penetrated his bones, and he said in a dry voice:
"I can rebuild my company, find another agent, and I can move from the front stage to the backstage, but my wife is unique and my daughter only gets one chance to grow up. Do you understand what I mean?"

Han Shuo saw that his veins were bulging and his eyes revealed uncontrollable anger, as if it could explode at any time. Only then did he realize that he was really angry.

"Old Yu, don't be like this. If you don't want a divorce, then don't divorce. If you want to make it public, then make it public. I have no objection!"

Han Shuo was very sensible. He followed Yu Yuan and naturally took the lead in everything.

Yu Yuan nodded slightly, expressionless, and said, "From now on, you will be in charge of my business cooperation, and let Fu Juan train new people."

Yu Yuan Studio has signed several artists, who are usually managed by other agents. Fu Juan only handles matters related to him. Such an arrangement is tantamount to banishing Fu Juan to the cold palace.

Han Shuo's eyes were wandering, his expression revealed traces of thought, and he made a choice in an instant. Opportunities are fleeting, and only by seizing them decisively can there be a better future.

"Don't worry, Lao Yu! Since you trust me, I will definitely not let you down."

As a superior, Yu Yuan can turn a blind eye to some things. Fu Juan is quite powerful, and it is unknown whether Han Shuo can suppress her...

Chen Ruogu didn't know that Yu Yuan was trying hard to change for the sake of this family.

The mother and daughter had just traveled through time, and the huge differences in concepts and completely different lifestyles required time to slowly adapt.

After He Hui left, Chen Ruogu cleaned up the house first, took a short rest and planned to go out for a walk.

The information she remembered about the clinic was from more than ten years ago, and she basically stopped socializing after giving birth to Huaixi.

Chen Ruogu is not the type of person who likes to join in the fun, but she needs to have a clear understanding of the outside world, especially the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine clinics.

She changed into a loose, cream-white dress that reached her ankles, and tied up her long black hair with a hairpin. She had given birth to Huai Xi at the age of 22, so she was only 35 years old now.

Her original body was also a beauty. Even though she was a little depressed due to emotional torture, her foundation was still there. After Chen Ruogu took over her body, she used health-preserving techniques to nourish her and became more and more radiant.

Her beauty was ready to burst out in the mirror, as if radiating endless tenderness and charm through the mirror. In order not to attract too much attention in the Shanyang Marquis's Mansion, Chen Ruogu was used to dressing herself up in an old-fashioned way, so it was a bit strange to see herself so dazzling.

Huaixi came out to pour water. If she wasn't so thirsty, she wouldn't have taken her eyes off the book. Seeing her mother resting her chin on her hand and quietly admiring her face, she said with a smile:
"Mom, are you so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off me?"

Chen Ruogu was startled by her voice, his fingers slid down and touched his neck uncomfortably, his cheeks flushed as he said angrily:

"You are such a teasing girl. I am just not used to dressing like this. Is it too conspicuous?"

Yu Huaixi took a sip of water and soothed him, "I don't think it's ostentatious. You don't wear any makeup on your face, and your clothes are proper. They don't show your curves too much, nor do they expose your skin. It's normal."

Chen Ruogu is a simple-minded person, used to living a quiet life. She doesn't know why her appearance has become more eye-catching after traveling through time, so she can't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

She held her daughter's hand, thinking that she would be with her in the future, her eyes were filled with warmth and hope, and she smiled and said:

"I'm planning to go out and take a look at how other clinics operate so I can get a better idea of ​​what's going on. Do you want to go with me?"

Yu Huaixi was in a state of thirst for knowledge and just wanted to spend every minute and every second on learning. He simply said:
"I won't go. I still have a lot of knowledge to review and consolidate. I can't be careless about academic matters."

Chen Ruogu never forced her. Hearing this, he smiled and said, "Then you should stay at home and read books. You should pay attention to the combination of work and rest. Your body has not fully recovered yet, so it is better for you to rest."

Yu Huaixi is independent, decisive and mature. She said politely, "I understand. Do you want to ask Uncle He to accompany you when you go out? I feel more at ease if he drives with you."

Chen Ruogu shook his head and refused. "He just went back to rest, so I won't disturb him. I can call a taxi on WeChat. It's very convenient to go out now."

Yu Huaixi nodded in agreement, but did not interfere too much. She only returned to her room after she left with her bag.

Huai Xi was just wondering what her father, the movie star who is admired by millions of people, would react if he saw her mother's current appearance.

Even at such a young age, she thinks very comprehensively and acts strategically.

I know that I can live an easy life relying on my movie star dad, but if he doesn't care for my mom, there's no point in keeping him.

With her own ability, a mother has the right to regain happiness, and no one has the right to stop her.

After getting in the car, Chen Ruogu headed straight for the commercial street. She had no idea what was going on in Huaixi's little head.

She never takes emotional matters to heart and has become accustomed to all kinds of compromises in life. As long as her life is worry-free and her present life is stable, she doesn't need to care too much about anything else.

After she arrived at her destination, she used her mobile phone to pay the fare in an unskilled manner. Although it took some time, the driver did not complain.

Men are always particularly tolerant towards beautiful women who are charming, elegant and noble.

Chen Ruogu was walking on the street, looking at the bustling crowd with a smile, enjoying the fun of shopping.

Those women carrying shopping bags and with satisfaction on their faces are truly free. This era is friendly to women and allows them to feel the beauty of life.

She did not have a strong desire to shop, and the dazzling array of goods in the window was not enough to make her stop. She simply appreciated them, and when she had seen enough, she would go straight to the point.

Various types of clinics can be seen everywhere, with dental clinics being the most numerous. Traditional Chinese medicine clinics are not special, but most of them are clinics combining Chinese and Western medicine, and the doctors on duty actually sell more Western medicine.

Chen Ruogu found a not-so-conspicuous Chinese medicine clinic at the end of the street and walked in.

When she stepped into the hall, she first smelled the fragrant aroma of traditional Chinese medicine. Although the place was small in size, the layout was extremely rigorous, and the interior decoration was simple and quaint. The doctor on duty was a young man in his early twenties, and he was looking for medicine for a customer.

Chen Ruogu had an outstanding appearance and attracted his attention as soon as she came in. The young doctor smiled and said loudly, "Sister, please wait a moment. I will come with the medicine."

Chen Ruogu was looking at the medicines on the cabinet. Most of them were Chinese patent medicines, with Western medicines accounting for half of them.

The young doctor handed the medicine to the customer, reminding him of the contraindications of taking the medicine. After watching the customer leave, he asked Chen Ruogu:

"Miss, are you feeling unwell? Let me take your pulse."

He has white and neat teeth. When he smiles, he shows a row of clean and neat teeth, making people feel kind and friendly.

Chen Ruogu was about to speak when he suddenly saw a tall man running in hurriedly, holding a thin, frail woman who had fainted.

He was sweating profusely and shouted anxiously:

"Xiao Gu, come and see my wife. Her menstruation has been intermittent for more than 40 days. She was dizzy and fainted at home. I called her for a long time but she didn't respond."

The man's hands were shaking, obviously frightened. Xiao Gu's face was solemn and he said awkwardly:

"Brother Qiang, I'm a medical student, so I can only prescribe medicine. Please take my sister-in-law to the hospital for emergency treatment."

Brother Qiang had just moved here not long ago, and was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said anxiously:

"Then call your father over quickly. Can't he treat the disease?"

Xiao Gu said helplessly: "My father went out to buy medicine. He is only half-baked. Our family is mainly engaged in the pharmaceutical business. It won't work even if he is here. Your wife doesn't have an ordinary cold or fever. You should go to the emergency room immediately."

Brother Qiang was filled with resentment and was about to leave with his wife in his arms when Chen Ruogu came from behind him and said tactfully, "Let me take a look. I'm a qualified Chinese medicine doctor."

Brother Qiang was overjoyed when he heard this. He looked at her and said quickly, "Doctor, please help me. My wife's face is pale and bloodless."

Chen Ruogu was calm and composed. "Put the man on the bed first."

Seeing that she was confident, Xiao Gu didn't say much and helped Brother Qiang carry the patient to the bed where he lay flat.

Chen Ruogu stepped forward and exposed her wrist. He gently placed his fingers on her pulse and felt the pulse. He also saw that the woman had a thin yellow tongue coating, was weak in the heart and short of breath, and looked unhappy. He said:

"Did you have sex with her several times during your period?"

Although Brother Qiang was a rough man, he couldn't help blushing when he heard such straightforward private conversations on the bed curtains. He stammered, "Her menstrual period is always spotty and continuous...it lasts too long...I can't help it..."

Chen Ruogu frowned and said briefly:
"She has bad blood blocking her body, which is stagnant and cannot be removed. New blood cannot return to her menstruation. This is a type of metrorrhagia caused by blood stasis."
