Chapter 86 Occult Blood in Urine (Update )
Chen Ruogu's choice to return to Wanling to reopen Jishidiang shows that she has a deep attachment to her hometown.
To the best of her ability, she should be willing to contribute to the promotion of Wanling.
Fang Jianping felt that his son's thinking was fine. He was a good family man, so who wouldn't listen to his wife?
He asked naturally, "Is Doctor Chen back? Are you close to her daughter?"
Fang Mingxu suddenly thought of Huaixi's face under the streetlight, which was like a bright pearl. His face became a little hot, and he stammered, "We are just ordinary classmates. There is no such thing as being close to each other. Don't let your imagination run wild."
Fang Jianping looked at his son after hearing this. He had also been a young muai, so how could he not see through his son's thoughts? He smiled and said, "I am just imagining things? Did you hear what I asked?"
Fang Mingxu got angry and said, "What are you doing? I was just thinking about something and only heard the second half of your sentence. Just say it again."
Fang Jianping knew his son well enough. Although he seemed calm and intelligent, he was actually very sensitive. If he joked too much, it would backfire. He asked again, "Is Doctor Chen back?"
Talking about business, Fang Mingxu looked calm, and said calmly: "Doctor Chen hasn't come back yet. Yu Huaixi said she has an appointment in Shanghai and needs to stay a few more days."
Fang Jianping nodded slightly. As long as she came back, it would be fine. There was no need to rush the promotion. After finishing the business, he looked at his son and said seriously:
"You are at the age of falling in love, and it is normal to have feelings for an outstanding and dazzling girl, but you have to distinguish the primary from the secondary. Your primary task at this stage is to study. The second thing is whether you simply like the girl or are just curious about her. Don't be muddleheaded. If you really like her, you must have a long-term plan. A family like ours will never allow you to be fickle."
Fang Mingxu looked solemn. This was the first time that the father and son had discussed this topic. He kept his father's words in mind and said solemnly, "Dad, don't worry. I won't do anything rash. I will take every step firmly."
Fang Jianping knew the character of his son, who he had raised himself, so he just needed to stop with this matter.
Yu Yuan didn't know that someone was thinking about his precious daughter. He and Ruogu had just returned home from a dinner party. The couple sat in the car. He was gently massaging Ruogu's legs. Ruogu looked tired and said:
"This socializing is even more tiring than my seeing patients. Everyone is so shrewd, and every word they say has multiple meanings. If you're not careful, you'll be at a disadvantage. It's really too exhausting."
Yu Yuan has become accustomed to this kind of life. Although he feels sorry for Ruogu, he cannot always stand in front of her. Most of the time, she has to rely on herself to deal with it.
He said in a low voice: "After the social event tonight, we won't go out. If there is nothing else important, you can go back to Wanling to accompany Huaixi in two days."
Ruogu was a little surprised and asked, "If I don't accompany you to socialize, won't people gossip about me?"
Yu Yuan shook his head and smiled. "Just show up at the first few important banquets to let the outside world know that we have a harmonious relationship and that I truly love you. You still have a clinic to run, unlike those rich ladies, and I don't want you to work so hard."
Yu Yuan knew the benefits of his wife's social skills. There were very few TCM doctors as capable as Ruogu, so who wouldn't want to make friends with him? With her as the social host, Yu Yuan could rest easy, but this was not the life Ruogu wanted.
He worked hard just to make his wife and daughter live comfortably, so how could he bear to let Ruogu run around? He gently kissed the back of her hand, his love and care overflowing with words. Although Ruogu didn't love him, she was touched in her heart. She said softly:
"We are husband and wife. You don't want me to work hard, and I don't want you to be too tired. Don't take everything on yourself."
Yu Yuan's eyes curved slightly, his heart was filled with contentment. He used to feel that life was boring and he was tired of everything. After reconciling with Ruogu, he blamed time for passing too quickly. Every time they were together he felt that the time was not enough. He never knew that he was such a home-loving person.
"Relax, I want to grow old with you, why would I exhaust myself? Once the company is on the right track, I will let Han Shuo take charge of the work. He is alone anyway, so he has nothing else to do if he doesn't work."
Ruogu smiled and silently sympathized with Han Shuo for a second. It was a good thing for Huaixi to have her father to accompany her. With a proper male head of the family, she would have fewer things to worry about. Yu Yuan's return home would bring more benefits than disadvantages, and she had no objection.
It was already late when they got home, and after washing up, they lay down to sleep directly. Middle-aged couples are not as lustful as young people. Although Yu Yuan is infatuated with Ruogu, he knows how to control himself and is reluctant to let her get tired. As long as he holds her to sleep, he is content.
When the first ray of sunlight in the early morning shone into the room through the curtains, Ruogu woke up drowsily. She opened her sleepy eyes and found that Yu Yuan had left. Recalling what he said last night, he seemed to be going to a meeting at the company.
Yu Yuan said that the movie was a big hit at the box office and has now exceeded 100 million. He needs to adjust the promotional method appropriately based on the current data. Yu Yuan is very experienced in this area and Ruogu did not ask in detail.
After getting up and washing, she asked the servant to bring breakfast to the garden. Ruogu ate breakfast while admiring the flowers, feeling very happy.
This time when they returned to Shanghai, they did not live in the house where the original mother and daughter lived, but moved into a Chinese-style villa that they had bought a long time ago. The villa was a bit old and the decoration was retro, with a sense of age. Ruogu liked it very much.
With nothing planned for today, Ruogu took a pair of scissors after breakfast and went to the garden to cut some flowers to put in a vase to decorate her home. However, before she had cut the flowers, the servant came to tell her that there were guests at home.
Ruogu was a little surprised. She had no friends in Shanghai and couldn't think of who would come to her house. She asked the servant to invite the guest to the living room for tea first, and she would come out to meet the guest after she had packed up.
Ruogu walked into the living room and saw who the other person was. She smiled and said, "Teacher Xi, it's a rare visit. How come you have time to visit my home? Who is this?"
Xi Xiulan stood up and said, "Excuse me, Doctor Chen. I came here uninvited. I mainly wanted to ask you for help with my illness. I called Yu Yuan before I came. He was worried that the ringing of the cell phone would disturb your rest, so he asked me to come directly. This is my husband, Xun Zhu."
Ruogu looked at Mr. Xun and felt that he looked familiar, but couldn't remember where she had seen him before. She said politely, "Teacher Xi, it's my honor to have Mr. Xun here as my guest. I wonder which of you is sick?"
Xi Xiulan felt sad when she thought of this, and she choked up and said:
"My husband is sick. He has had intermittent occult blood in his urine for the past six years. He has been to the hospital for treatment many times but has not recovered. He is still weak all over, has poor sleep, and has abdominal pain and bowel sounds when he eats something raw or cold. If this continues, it will be too harmful to his health. I am really worried. When I heard that you were in Shanghai, I brought him here immediately."
