The CEO's husband didn't come home every night, and Secretary Chu was angry

'Didi'.

The phone on the table rang. Chu Mu looked up from his magazine and glanced at it. It was Yi Yichen's phone, Xiao Song calling.

Xiao Song called Yi Yichen even though he knew that he was in Xinghai Villa. It must be something important.

Chu Mu looked away from the phone and reminded, "Yi Yichen, it's Xiao Song calling."

"Yeah." Yi Yichen responded lightly, reaching out to cover the phone, with no intention of answering it.

He didn't want to answer, and Chu Mu didn't care. But the calls kept coming in, and it seemed the situation was serious.

As a last resort, Chu Mu pressed the answer button and put the phone on speaker.

Xiao Song's anxious voice came from the phone, "Boss Yi, this is bad. Miss Cao was in a car accident and is seriously injured. She is currently receiving emergency treatment at the First Hospital."

Chu Mu's nerves tensed up and he looked at Yi Yichen.

Yi Yichen suddenly sat up straight, picked up the phone, and asked, "What's going on?"

Xiao Song said something on the phone. He looked at Chu Mu with a frown.

After a moment, he hung up the phone and said coldly, "Come with me to the hospital."

Chu Mu looked up from the magazine, a bit puzzled. She was too lazy to contact Cao Minhui, and now that she had been in a car accident, she didn't want to get involved in this mess. But since Yi Yichen had made this request, she didn't have to refuse.

He simply replied, "Okay."

……

hospital.

At the moment of the car accident, Cao Minhui's chest was injured due to the direct impact of the steering wheel and airbag on the front chest wall, resulting in rib fractures and lung damage, and her injuries were serious.

When Yi Yichen and Chu Mu rushed to the hospital, she was in the operating room.

Cao Jun and Cheng Zhenru were waiting outside the operating room.

Seeing the two of them arrive, Cao Jun glanced at Chu Mu, then at Yi Yichen. His scrutinizing eyes suddenly shrank, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes.

He pointed at Yi Yichen's nose and cursed, "This is what you promised Jiajia, to protect Minhui for the rest of her life. Now she's lying in the operating room, her life or death uncertain. You brought your little lover here, are you afraid that she'll die too slowly?"

The sharp gaze fell on Chu Mu again, filled with unwilling ruthlessness.

Chu Mu just stood aside quietly, his eyes calm but his aura terrifying.

Yi Yichen protected her behind him, his voice cold and calm, "Uncle Cao, I will keep my promise and do my best. But if someone tries to interfere, it will be difficult for me to ensure her safety."

He looked directly into Cao Jun's eyes, and the situation became tense.

Cao Jun gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm hurting Minhui?"

He emphasized sternly, "She is my biological daughter! Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. You are completely devoid of conscience to say such a thing."

Yi Yichen remained silent, and a majestic aura came over him.

Cao Jun tried to glare at him with all his might, but his momentum weakened.

Yi Yichen was very smart and understood his purpose.

Cao Jun sat down and said indignantly: "It is simply unreasonable."

Seeing that the two of them refused to give in at all, Yi Yichen was not someone he could offend.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhenru immediately came over and said in a gentle voice, "Yichen, your uncle Cao was just anxious at the moment and said those words in anger. You must not take him seriously."

After saying that, she looked at Chu Mu, a smile on her face, but she looked at him secretly with a hint of aggression, "This is Secretary Chu, right? She is indeed as charming and graceful as I saw in the news."

Chu Mu returned a polite smile, "Hello, Madam Cao."

Cheng Zhenru smiled, but her tone was warning: "Hurry up and sit down. Thank you and Yichen for coming to visit Minhui. I think she will be very happy when she wakes up."

This was totally untrue. Cao Minhui wished her dead, so how could she be happy to see her, especially since she appeared with Yi Yichen.

She smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Cheng Zhenru continued, "But I don't want you to become friends with her. It's definitely not a good family tradition to have a mistress. Although our family is not as good as the Yi family, it is still a well-known family in Zhucheng.

Minhui has been with you for a long time, and I'm afraid she'll pick up bad habits. If that happens, it will affect the Cao family's reputation, which would be bad."

The implication was clear: Chu Mu's family was not as good as the Cao family and they looked down upon them. They also warned her not to compete with Cao Minhui for Yi Yichen, as she would not end up well off in the end.
