Chapter 110: Chapter 110 Holding a Grudge

After hurriedly tidying up, Su Qingnuan ran downstairs.

She saw Fu Yihan sitting in the wheelchair, expressionless as he ate his breakfast.

"Yuerou?" The old man noticed Su Qingnuan and smiled lightly. "Why are you rushing like this? Come, have breakfast!"

Seeing Fu Yihan’s complete lack of expression, Su Qingnuan forced a smile, cautiously walked over, and sat down beside him.

But as soon as she sat down, he suddenly put down his chopsticks.

"I’m done eating."

"..."

Fu Yihan wheeled himself away.

The old man stared at his departing figure, puzzled. "Strange, so early in the morning, who’s upset him again?"

Su Qingnuan quickly lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Without Fu Yihan there, Su Qingnuan didn’t have much appetite either. She hastily ate a few bites and ran outside.

When she saw Ah Qi waiting outside, Su Qingnuan walked over, looking entirely defeated.

"Ah Qi, what should I do?" Su Qingnuan gazed at him in frustration. "Mr. Fu is angry."

Ah Qi cast a glance at the car window, his expression unchanging as he frowned. "There’s nothing I can do if you ask me. Eldest Young Master’s anger is terrifying. You’d better think of a way to fix this as soon as possible."

".....Can you at least give me some advice?" Su Qingnuan asked.

".....I have no advice to offer."

With that, Ah Qi opened the driver’s seat door and got into the car.

Seeing this, Su Qingnuan sighed and opened the door to the back seat.

The next moment, Su Qingnuan froze.

Someone was already sitting in the back seat, holding a newspaper in their hands and quietly reading.

"Mr. Fu...." Su Qingnuan called out awkwardly.

The man didn’t respond, only furrowing his brows.

Seeing this, Su Qingnuan hurriedly got into the car.

The atmosphere inside the car felt strange.

Su Qingnuan repeatedly opened her mouth, wanting to try starting a conversation with Mr. Fu.

But Mr. Fu was like a block of ice, his face broadcasting a clear "Do Not Approach" warning.

In such a situation, Su Qingnuan found herself at a loss for words.

It wasn’t until Ah Qi parked the car at the school that Su Qingnuan snapped out of it.

"Young Madam, you’ve arrived," Ah Qi reminded Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan glanced at Fu Yihan, hesitating before saying, "Ah Qi, you might need to come straight to the company to pick me up later. I’m going there for my internship today."

"Alright."

After getting out of the car, Su Qingnuan looked through the window at Fu Yihan again, but he remained completely indifferent.

Su Qingnuan sighed slightly, withdrew her gaze, and walked toward the school.

Watching Su Qingnuan’s retreating figure, Ah Qi sighed.

"Eldest Young Master, Young Madam didn’t mean to. Can’t you see how close she is to breaking down and crying?"

The man reading raised his head and looked at Su Qingnuan’s departing figure, sneering. "If she likes talking nonsense, then she has to pay the price, doesn’t she?"

"...As long as it makes you happy."

The car window slowly rolled up, and the car drove away.

...

"Our internship process involves spending two weeks in each department, and then..."

Up ahead, an older employee sent by the company to guide them was rambling on, but Su Qingnuan didn’t catch a single word.

She stared at the teacher’s constantly moving lips, yet her mind was entirely focused on what she should do tonight to cheer Fu Yihan up.

"Hey!" Gu Xiaoxiao poked Su Qingnuan’s arm and said in a low voice, "What’s going on with you? The teacher has looked at you several times already!"

Su Qingnuan snapped out of it, meeting the teacher’s stern gaze, and quickly lowered her head.

"Caught, weren’t you?" Gu Xiaoxiao sighed helplessly. "Seriously, what’s on your mind? It’s internship time!"

"Nothing....." Su Qingnuan replied softly. "I wasn’t thinking about anything. I’m listening to the teacher."

"Oh, come on. From your earlier expression, it’s obvious you were distracted. Don’t pretend you were paying attention."

Suddenly, Su Qingnuan lowered her head and remained silent.

Gu Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment and turned her head.

"It seems like you two talk more than I do?" The teacher’s cold voice rang out clearly.

The other two interns who were with them gave them teasing looks.

Gu Xiaoxiao forced a smile. "Master, we were wrong."

"If you think you know so much, why don’t you start with the basics?"

With that, the teacher handed a broom to each of them.

"Go ahead."

"..."

Watching the teacher walk away, Su Qingnuan said helplessly, "Where did these brooms even come from?"

"No idea. I didn’t see them earlier."

"..."

The two sighed and accepted their fate, grabbing the brooms and following the teacher’s instructions to clean the lobby.

On their first day of internship, the two were assigned the task of sweeping the floor, and numerous company employees watched the unfolding scene for amusement.

With their heads lowered, both of them felt deeply embarrassed yet couldn’t do anything about it.

The entire morning was spent sweeping the floor.

After finally cleaning the lobby, the teacher reappeared and took them directly to an upstairs office.

"After you finish lunch, clean this place as well."

"Teacher! We still have to keep cleaning?"

"Don’t want to sweep floors?" The teacher squinted at them.

Gu Xiaoxiao quickly shook her head. "We’ll do anything as long as it’s not sweeping floors!"

The teacher sneered. "You’d better stick to sweeping the floors."

With that, she turned and left.

The two exchanged helpless smiles.

"If I had known, I would’ve pinched you hard to snap you out of it and avoid talking to you!"

"...It’s too late now."

After having lunch with the group in the cafeteria, the two returned and resumed sweeping the floors.

As more people returned from lunch, cleaning became more difficult for them.

"Excuse me, could you raise your leg?"

Some who had good tempers complied and lifted their legs, while those with worse dispositions glared at them or, in some cases, grumbled with curses.

As newcomers, the two had no choice but to endure the reprimands and speed up their tasks to finish them quickly.

After painstakingly tidying up an entire floor’s office, the teacher didn’t appear again, leaving them with a brief moment to rest.

In the break room, they ran into two other interns who were clutching documents and whispering furtively.

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoxiao leaned over. "What are you guys looking at? What’s in those documents?"

Hearing her voice, the interns promptly shielded the documents and glanced at Gu Xiaoxiao warily.

"What do you think you’re doing? Poking your nose into someone else’s business."

"Peeking?" Gu Xiaoxiao froze, flustered. "I was just asking, not...."

"Ugh, don’t bother talking to them anymore. Let’s go. Bad luck!"

Seeing how the two interns avoided them as if they were something unlucky, Gu Xiaoxiao looked even more puzzled.

She turned to Su Qingnuan. "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"No." Su Qingnuan shook her head earnestly.

"Then do I look unlucky?"

"...Probably not...."

"Then what’s with their attitude?" Gu Xiaoxiao stamped her foot in anger. "This is absurd! They weren’t like this when we first met in the morning. But now that the internship has started, they act like they’re full-time employees!"

"Don’t get upset," Su Qingnuan said with a chuckle. "Maybe the teacher told them not to let outsiders see those materials."
