127: Chapter 127 You and your daughter, please sit down here.

"No matter what you mean, I, Chu Yuan, will definitely take responsibility for the mistake I made."

Without giving Ye Linger any chance to object, Chu Yuan picked her up and left the hospital.

Pressed against that solid chest, feeling his powerful shoulders, a surge of masculine energy nearly made Ye Linger completely fall for him.

On the way, Chu Yuan even asked about Ye Linger's entire background.

Her father had gone abroad to work, and her mother had raised her through all sorts of hardships.

Coming from a single-parent family, she had lacked fatherly love since she was young.

If it was just fatherly love she needed, Chu Yuan thought, he might not have much else, but he certainly had plenty of that to give.

Of course, to avoid raising Ye Linger's suspicions and for the sake of the female lead, Chu Yuan called her mother, Su Mingyue, right in front of her and explained the situation.

Upon learning that her daughter had been hit and that it seemed quite serious, Su Mingyue immediately dropped everything and rushed to Chu Yuan's villa in a panic.

As a young master of the Shanghai Chu Family, Chu Yuan's villa was the most luxurious residence in all of Shanghai.

The villa covered an area of over three thousand meters and was entirely enclosed by walls.

It had a dozen or so rooms, a lotus pond, an outdoor swimming pool, a parking lot, a basketball court, and a backyard garden.

Inside, it even featured a cinema, a billiard room, and an indoor swimming pool; it was truly fully equipped.

Upon entering the villa, Ye Linger was completely stunned, her eyes wide as she looked around, feeling like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

Ordering his staff to prepare a room, he brought Ye Linger in and placed her on the bed. Chu Yuan said softly, "You will stay here for the time being. I've already spoken to your mother, and she will be here before long."

"Th... thank you, Uncle Chu."

Ye Linger said with a look of gratitude.

"You're welcome. Why don't you get some sleep now?"

After offering a few words of comfort, Chu Yuan walked out of the room and, in a voice loud enough for Ye Linger to hear, instructed the nanny: "Miss Ye has injured her leg, so do not let her walk around. Use warm water to clean her leg, keep all her meals light, and also..."

Every word of his instructions reached Ye Linger's ears, deepening her favorable impression of Chu Yuan.

He was so gentle, attentive, considerate, and caring.

If only her own father could be like Uncle Chu, how wonderful that would be.

"Ye Linger, what are you daydreaming about? How could Uncle Chu possibly be your father?"

"Someone like him is completely out of your league."

Ye Linger shook her head, casting aside those unrealistic fantasies.

A person like him was far too distant from her.

Not to mention anything else, just this villa alone was something she could never have imagined in her entire life.

Upon receiving the call, Su Mingyue was anxious and hurried over, arriving at Chu Yuan's villa before long.

After getting out of the car and stating her purpose, the bodyguards, who had already received instructions from Chu Yuan, immediately led her to the main hall.

Having received the news, Chu Yuan had just walked into the hall when a figure suddenly appeared before him.

The woman who entered was wearing jeans and a simple white T-shirt on her upper body.

Everything she was wearing was cheap, off-the-rack clothing.

Even so, it could not hide her stunning beauty.

It seemed that the wives, daughters, and sisters of every Protagonist possessed beauty that could topple cities, and Ye Yun's wife and daughter were no exception to this rule.

"You must be Ms. Su Mingyue. I am Chu Yuan."

"I am Su Mingyue." After a brief introduction, Su Mingyue said with a look of anxiety: "Young Master Chu, I heard my daughter was in a car accident. Where is she?"

"She is upstairs. Follow me."

He led Su Mingyue to Ye Linger.

Upon seeing each other, the mother and daughter shared a touching and heart-wrenching embrace and burst into tears.

"Ahem..."

Chu Yuan gave a light cough, interrupting the mother and daughter.

"Ms. Su, Miss Ye is still injured. Both of you should stay here tonight."

"This... this won't do. I wouldn't dare trouble Young Master Chu. We... we should go home."

Su Mingyue's first thought was to return to her own home.

They did not dare to try and climb the social ladder with a young master like Chu Yuan.

"Miss Ye's injury was caused by me. If I just let you leave like this, how could I, Chu Yuan, continue to hold my head high in Shanghai?"

"It's settled. Get some rest, and I will have someone bring dinner to you."

Chu Yuan didn't dawdle and left immediately after speaking.

This situation left Su Mingyue feeling somewhat at a loss.

Knowing the temperaments of these wealthy young masters, she didn't dare to act rashly.

If Chu Yuan truly dared to do anything harmful to them, she would protect her daughter at all costs, even with her life.

In the evening, Chu Yuan did not disturb the mother and daughter further; he simply had someone deliver food to them and gave a few simple instructions.

Being too enthusiastic would only make the mother and daughter suspicious.

A moderate amount of concern, combined with a domineering attitude regarding her injury, and the occasional touch of tenderness—they were already in the palm of his hand; it was absolutely impossible for them to escape him.

The next morning.

"Young Master, breakfast is ready. Should I have Su Mingyue and her daughter come over to dine with you?" Zuo Shishi asked.

"Tell them to join me."

Although he hadn't shown much enthusiasm or made any other moves last night, which had made Su Mingyue breathe a sigh of relief.

Chu Yuan estimated that the woman hadn't slept well all night.

"Good morning, Uncle Chu."

Just as he arrived in the hall, Su Mingyue pushed Ye Xiaoling over.

After washing up and changing into new clothes, Ye Xiaoling's entire aura had undergone a complete transformation, and she appeared much more youthful and vibrant.

Her delicate, flawless face was deeply captivating.

Chu Yuan only took a brief glance before revealing a gentle smile.

"Linger, good morning."

He reached out and gently stroked Ye Linger's small head, asking with a hint of concern: "Did you sleep well last night?"

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Chu. Linger rested very well."

Feeling Chu Yuan's concern, Ye Linger felt a warmth in her heart.

She nodded heavily, a happy smile blooming on her face.

It seemed the gloom of yesterday's accident had already dissipated, as if it were a blessing in disguise.

Seeing her daughter smiling so happily, Su Mingyue's face also bloomed with a smile.

Last night, she learned from her daughter that it seemed the accident was caused by her daughter's own fault.

Yet Chu Yuan had actively taken Ye Linger to the hospital for treatment and cared for her attentively.

In her daughter's words, Chu Yuan seemed to be the warmest man in the world, far more responsible and reliable than the father who had never appeared.

With her daughter's praise preceding him and in such a warm environment, Su Mingyue's inner guard had gradually let down quite a bit.

"I don't have any strict rules here. Eat whatever you like. If it's not enough, just let me know, and I'll have the kitchen whip up some more."

Sitting at the head of the table, Chu Yuan enthusiastically attended to the two of them.
