Chapter 28 Daddy won't let anyone bully you
Chen Muyu was sitting on the sofa, immersed in her own thoughts. When Secretary Qu came in, she was shocked and relieved at the same time.

I didn’t expect Li Yan to contact Chen Dengtai, and I didn’t expect Chen Dengtai to send someone over.

Secretary Qu walked to Chen Muyu's side with a calm and unquestionable authority, leaned over slightly, and said softly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Miss, Secretary Chen is waiting for you outside."

She was slightly startled, a complicated expression flashed across her face, she stood up, straightened her school uniform, and followed Secretary Qu and Lawyer Lin out.

When she passed by Leng Chuchu and Mrs. Leng, she raised the corners of her lips and said sincerely: "Thank you."

The sun was shining brightly, and the air was filled with the heat and depression that is unique to summer. Two black cars were quietly parked on the roadside opposite the school, and the dazzling light reflected by their bodies was in sharp contrast to the surrounding hustle and bustle.

Secretary Qu and Lawyer Lin walked to the car in front first, opened the door and got in, as if they were already accustomed to such occasions.

The last time Chen Muyu saw Chen Dengtai was the night he had a fever. Her eyes fell on the car behind her, and she couldn’t describe how she felt now.

The car door slowly opened from the inside. Chen Dengtai sat in the car and spoke in a magnetic voice, "Mu Yu, get in the car."

She sat next to Chen Dengtai. The air conditioning in the car brought cool breezes, which calmed her mood a little.

Chen Muyu had naturally fair skin. Chen Dengtai noticed the obvious red and swollen palm marks on her face. His brows immediately furrowed, with anger and heartache that could not be concealed in his eyes.

He took a deep look at his daughter, who seemed to have a shell on her outside, then turned to the driver and said in a firm voice, "Go to the hospital."

The car started slowly. Chen Dengtai was burning with anger, but more of it was love and worry for his daughter. He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Secretary Qu: [This matter must be dealt with strictly.]

Chen Muyu raised her eyes and looked at her father carefully. She felt that Chen Dengtai seemed really different from before.

Regardless of whether he was pretending or not, Chen Muyu felt from the bottom of his heart that it was a really happy feeling to have relatives by his side when he needed help the most.

Chen Muyu's eyes were actually moist. She took a deep breath and tried to make her voice sound calm: "Thank you for today, Dad."

When Chen Dengtai heard Chen Muyu softly call him "Dad", an indescribable sadness surged in his heart. He had not heard this name for a long time, and the long-lost family affection was reawakened at this moment.

He turned his head, his eyes full of tenderness and guilt. He knew that he owed his daughter too much over the years.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to touch Chen Muyu's head, but stopped in mid-air, fearing that his action would make her feel uncomfortable.

In the end, he just took his hand back, his voice trembling: "Mu Yu, Dad is sorry for you. From now on, Dad will not let anyone bully you."

Chen Muyu burst into laughter and said, "Okay."

When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor carefully examined Chen Muyu's injuries, prescribed some anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling medicines, and then specifically instructed him to use ice compresses to reduce swelling and pain when he returned home.

After leaving the hospital, Chen Dengtai took Chen Muyu back to his house in the city center.

As soon as Chen Muyu followed Chen Dengtai in, he saw a slightly reserved figure - Chen Dengtai's current wife Peng Huihe.

A few hours ago, Peng Huihe received a message from Chen Dengtai saying that Chen Muyu would come back to live for a while. Although she was a little surprised, she tried to remain calm. She and Chen Dengtai had no children, and she didn't know how to get along with Chen Muyu. She could only go to the supermarket to buy some daily necessities and try to make Chen Muyu feel comfortable in the environment.

Peng Huihe tried to look more natural, and said to Chen Muyu with a smile, "Your father said you need to stay at home for a while, and time is urgent, so I just bought some things at the supermarket. Do you think these are suitable? If not, I will prepare more."

Chen Dengtai explained to Chen Muyu, "This is your Aunt Peng. Because you have a wound on your face, I'm afraid you'll have to go back to your mother's house... It just so happens that your Aunt Peng's band is on vacation. Anyway, stay here for a while. I'll talk to your mother."

Chen Muyu nodded in agreement, "Thank you Aunt Peng, thank you for your trouble."

When Peng Huihe heard Chen Muyu's thanks, the tension in her heart eased a little. She knew that Chen Muyu should be an easy child to get along with.

"I can already smell the delicious food. What did you cook today?"

Chen Dengtai watched this harmonious scene from the side, and his mood also improved. He smelled the aroma of food coming from the kitchen and asked Peng Huihe with a smile: "Wife, what did you cook that smells so good? Is there meat?"

Peng Huihe scolded, "You only care about meat. Mu Yu is injured, how can she eat meat? I specially made some light and nutritious dishes. Don't eat secretly. I'll take Mu Yu to her room first and let her rest for a while."

Peng Huihe took the initiative to hold Chen Muyu's hand: "Muyu, come with me, I will show you your room."

The room is warmly and comfortably decorated, and everything is in perfect order.

Chen Muyu simply couldn't bear to think that if Wang Ruilan were like this one day, it would be so impossible. She looked at Peng Huihe gratefully and said, "Thank you, Aunt Peng."

After dinner, Chen Dengtai went to work. Before leaving, he told Chen Muyu not to go to school in the afternoon and to have a good rest at home.

The room was so quiet that only the chirping of cicadas and the occasional sound of traffic could be heard outside the window. Chen Muyu lay on the bed, her eyelids gradually becoming heavy, and she drifted into a dream.

However, in her dream, she suddenly felt anxious. She opened her eyes suddenly, and the scene of tomorrow's exam emerged clearly in her mind. She realized that she had not filled out the registration form yet.

Chen Muyu immediately sat up from the bed, picked up his phone and sent a message to Leng Chuchu, but Leng Chuchu said that she had also returned home.

She looked through her phone's address book and finally called Xu Xiangchen.

Xu Xiangchen's voice on the other end of the phone was low and depressed, with a hint of self-blame: "Mu Yu, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

This was the first time Xu Xiangchen called Chen Muyu so intimately, but in his gentle tone, Chen Muyu heard his helplessness and guilt.

Chen Muyu sighed softly: "We are both not wrong."

Xu Xiangchen on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, then he spoke again with a hint of relief in his voice: "You don't have to answer the question I asked you this morning-"

"Xu Xiangchen, actually I seem to like you too."

"What did you say?"

"I said, I tried hard to restrain myself from liking you, but it didn't work." Although her voice was soft, her tone revealed a firmness and maturity.
