Lu Jin was filming at the company. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he got home and was about to have a drink of water when he found Jian Ruoxi sitting on the sofa with her brows furrowed.
Logically speaking, she should be at the hospital for prenatal checkups at this time, so why is she still at home?
Lu Jin was very puzzled and asked Jian Ruoxi, "Sister-in-law, why didn't you go for your prenatal checkup? Where's my brother?"
Jian Ruoxi lowered her head and said unhappily, "I was about to leave, but he suddenly told me that something had come up at the company and left."
Hearing Jian Ruoxi say this, Lu Jin was a little angry for her: "Today is your prenatal checkup. What could be more important than your prenatal checkup?"
Otherwise she would feel wronged. Once comforted, Jian Ruoxi's eyes slid down her face and dripped onto her thigh. She said with a wronged expression, "He left in a hurry and didn't even tell me what happened."
Lu Jin was furious. He grabbed Jian Ruoxi's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the hospital first. After we get there, we'll go to the company to find my brother and ask him what happened in person."
The two arrived at the hospital and successfully completed their prenatal checkup. It seemed there were no major problems, so Lu Jin took her and drove to Lu Shen's company.
Just then, Li Rou mentioned an important meeting, and Lu Shen needed to meet with her to meet the client.
When Lu Jin arrived at the company, he went up to Lu Shen and asked, "Brother, no matter how important the company matters are, you can't not accompany your wife to her prenatal checkup. That's too much. You have no sense of responsibility at all."
Lu Shen explained: "It's an unexpected situation. The new energy project was snatched away some time ago, and the Li family's company's capital chain broke. Today's client is very important. If we can't get this order, the Li family will go bankrupt immediately."
Lu Jin, who was still angry, understood after hearing Lu Shen's words that this matter was indeed quite important, and changed her tune: "But you can't just leave your sister-in-law hanging, can you?"
Li Rou pretended to be understanding: "Brother Lu, why don't you go to the hospital first? I can handle this project myself. Although it's a bit difficult, you should trust my abilities."
Hearing Li Rou say this, Lu Shen felt even more guilty. He said to Lu Jin, "Don't cause trouble here. I left in a hurry, so I didn't arrange for Jian Ruoxi's prenatal checkup."
"Xixi, I was really careless just now. How about I go to the hospital with you tomorrow?"
Lu Jin preemptively stated, "I've already taken my sister-in-law for a medical check-up."
On the other side, the secretary urged from the doorway, "Mr. Lu, the client has arrived and is waiting in the office."
Lu Shen grew anxious and said to Lu Jin, "Can you two leave first? Don't get in the way here."
After saying that, he turned and walked into the office, with Li Rou beside him. The two walked side by side and seemed to be a good match.
This sight of a perfect couple filled Jian Ruoxi with immense sorrow.
Lu Jin first tried to calm her down: "Sister-in-law, don't be angry. My brother does sometimes overlook others because of his personality."
"Since the prenatal checkup has already been done and there are no major problems, why don't we go home first and settle the score with him when he gets home? I'll definitely be the first one to get back at him."
Lu Jin really liked his sister-in-law. After all, she was a director and often dealt with actors. She had seen Jian Ruoxi's talent and hard work, so she admired Jian Ruoxi very much.
On his way home, Lu Jin suddenly remembered that he was filming a variety show, so he said to Jian Ruoxi, "Sister-in-law, I'm currently working at the company, directing a program."
"Things about experiencing rural life are quite interesting, and they're very popular."
When she said that, she was actually trying to test whether Jian Ruoxi was interested in the show. If she was, she would strongly invite Jian Ruoxi to participate.
Forcing her to come if she's not interested isn't a good thing.
Jian Ruoxi had come across this show when she was bored at home and asked Lu Jin, "Is it the one where they feed the pigs and do farm work?"
"Yes, sister-in-law, you've seen it?" Lu Jin was delighted; it seemed there was hope.
Jian Ruoxi's mood improved a bit at this point. She said to Lu Jin, "I've seen it on TV when I'm bored at home, and I haven't missed a single episode since I found out you directed this variety show."
"I love watching that chubby boy feed the piglets. Every time, the piglets are naughty and push the food out, getting it all over him," Jian Ruoxi said, laughing as she spoke.
This will be a good opportunity to distract her.
Lu Jin breathed a slight sigh of relief, since her brother was indeed having a very important meeting and it was inconvenient to interrupt.
I could only take Jian Ruoxi out for a walk to cheer her up, and also to avoid her morning sickness.
Moreover, if she can take on a few new shows during her pregnancy, make some appearances, and generate buzz, she can pave a good path for her comeback after the baby is born.
Because Jian Ruoxi's heart was still set on acting, she desperately wanted to win the Best Actress award, something she had always dreamed of.
Lu Jin invited her: "Why don't you be a guest on this show? If you're a guest, I'll arrange some scenes for you, and I won't make you do any physical labor."
"And Su Ziyu will be coming too. He's one of the regular guests on the show. I'll pair you two up, so it'll be easier for Brother Su to take care of you," Lu Jin thought.
If Jian Ruoxi is paired with someone else, that person will inevitably be dissatisfied, feeling that Jian Ruoxi got the job through connections and doesn't do any physical work.
By then, all the good reputation will be gone.
But Su Ziyu is different. He has always admired Jian Ruoxi. If the two of them are put in the same group, Su Ziyu will definitely take good care of Jian Ruoxi.
Jian Ruoxi joined the crew smoothly, but she was a little unaccustomed to rural life when she first arrived in the countryside.
Taking a bath or using the toilet is inconvenient. To take a bath, you have to go to a public bathhouse in the countryside, and to use the toilet, you have to use a dry toilet, which Jian Ruoxi has never been to before.
She initially stood outside the public bathhouse with her toiletries, too afraid to go in; she couldn't accept this kind of bathing method.
She happened to run into Su Ziyu, who noticed the embarrassment on her face and told her to wait for him outside, saying he would come out in ten minutes.
Su Ziyu took her back to his rural home and set up a simple shower setup, using a bottle cap with holes poked in it as a showerhead, so that Jian Ruoxi could wash up at home.
The next morning, the two got up and sorted the seeds. Su Ziyu went to plant them, while Jian Ruoxi did some simple cleaning and tended to the flowers and plants at home.
The two of them lived like this in a small village far from the city, experiencing the life of men farming and women weaving. As soon as the program aired, fans praised it in the comments.
"They're such a perfect match."
"They look so much like a married couple, especially when Su Ziyu is taking care of Jian Ruoxi, he's so manly."
"My sister has finally shown up. It's been so long since I've seen her."
