Substitute Bride to the Crippled Billionaire
Chapter 142: Bullying Whose Person?

Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Bullying Whose Person?

Su Yuerou turned her face slightly, revealing the faintly reddened side. The glaring imprint of five fingers came into view.

Without saying a word, she lowered her head. Her thick eyelashes hid her emotions, but the sorrow emanating from her was impossible to conceal.

"It’s fine." Su Yuerou pushed Fu Yihan’s hand away and chuckled softly, "I’m used to it."

"Used to it?" Fu Yihan furrowed his brows slightly and cast a warning look at Su Qingnuan. "What? Have you been bullying her often?"

Su Qingnuan looked at Su Yuerou with a smirk. "Me? Bully you?"

Su Yuerou quickly lowered her head, her body trembling slightly.

"Look!" Fu Yihan pointed angrily at Su Qingnuan. "Still claim you haven’t? Look at how scared Yuerou is!"

What a case of the thief crying "stop thief." Su Qingnuan returned his rage with a bitter laugh, pointing at Su Yuerou. "Why don’t you examine your conscience and ask yourself who’s really at a loss in this family?"

Su Yuerou raised her tear-filled eyes. "Little sister, since childhood, we have cherished you, but who would’ve thought you’d grow into someone with this kind of personality? If we’d known... If only we’d known..."

"Nonsense!" Su Qingnuan pressed a trembling hand to her chest, fury making her lips quiver. "If outsiders don’t understand, must you twist facts here?"

"I didn’t twist the facts!" Su Yuerou looked at Su Qingnuan with heartbreak, sadness written across her face. "Little sister, hasn’t our family always treated you well?"

Well?

If they had treated her well, Su Qingnuan wouldn’t be stuck in this awkward, unrewarding position.

Her heart was pounding wildly. She could hear every beat clearly.

Su Qingnuan knew that she needed to calm down now, or her heart might not withstand the speed of its pounding.

Holding her chest, she lowered her head, repeating to herself: Don’t listen, don’t think.

"I once assumed you were gentle and virtuous. Turns out you’re nothing but an ungrateful person." Fu Yihan’s icy voice rang out. "If my brother found out what kind of person you really are, the Fu family wouldn’t have tolerated you this long."

Fu Yihan?

Su Qingnuan squinted slightly as she raised her head. Her heart, beating too rapidly, caused her vision to blur.

Suspicious glances from the surrounding crowd landed on her.

There were looks of contempt, doubt, and disdain – a myriad of expressions...

Her heartbeat only quickened further.

The figure of Su Yuerou began to blur before her, along with Fu Yihan standing beside her.

She couldn’t afford to collapse...

Su Qingnuan gritted her teeth, forcing herself to stand upright.

"Director Gao, how much longer?" Su Qingnuan asked softly.

Noticing Su Qingnuan’s pale face, Director Gao gritted his teeth and said, "Ten more minutes, Qingnuan, hang in there!"

If they could just delay Fu Yihan, they might successfully salvage the project, preventing it from collapsing.

Taking a deep breath, Su Qingnuan opened her eyes to gaze at the people in the distance.

"Say whatever you want. The innocent will be proven innocent."

"Oh!" Fu Yihan stepped forward, looking down at Su Qingnuan. "What’s the deal? You want to claim we’re bullying you? Right now, with so many people watching, better pack your things and get out!"

With that, he reached out to flip Director Gao’s computer.

Both of them quickly stopped Fu Yihan. Director Gao smiled apologetically. "Mr. Fu, it’s almost ready. Please, just wait a little longer!"

"I’m done waiting!"

With force, Fu Yihan directly shoved Su Qingnuan away.

Su Qingnuan stumbled backward, slamming into the table before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

"Ah! She’s down!"

Gu Xiaoxiao rushed to help Su Qingnuan up. Seeing her pale complexion, she exclaimed, "Quick! Call an ambulance!"

Someone alerted the emergency services, while Gu Xiaoxiao hurriedly laid Su Qingnuan flat and began searching around the desk.

"Her bag? Where’s Qingnuan’s bag?"

"Here, here!" Director Gao quickly handed the bag to Gu Xiaoxiao, worry etched on his face as he looked at Su Qingnuan. "What’s happening to her?"

"Quick! Director Gao, give me water."

Working together, the two managed to feed Su Qingnuan her medication with difficulty.

Listening to her labored breathing, Gu Xiaoxiao’s heart clenched tightly.

She hadn’t seen Su Qingnuan suffer an episode in a long time. How could this happen...

Gu Xiaoxiao shot a fierce look at Fu Yihan, gritting her teeth: "If something happens to her, Mr. Fu, you’ll never hear the end of it!"

"It’s just a fall, what’s the big deal?" Fu Yihan raised an eyebrow and smirked. "Don’t play weak. The ambulance will be here soon. I’ll cover the hospital costs, okay?"

Seeing that he showed no remorse, Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly stood up and hurled the documents from the desk at him.

"What are you doing?!"

Dodging the papers just in time, Fu Yihan pointed angrily at Gu Xiaoxiao. "Are you crazy?!"

"You’re the one who’s crazy!" Her gaze shifted to Su Yuerou, who was looking at Su Qingnuan with panic flickering in her eyes.

Clearly, she knew something about Su Qingnuan’s condition.

Gu Xiaoxiao curled her lips into a cold smile. "You’re the real malicious woman here!"

Su Yuerou’s face stiffened as she retreated behind Fu Yihan.

"You little brat, what nonsense are you spouting?" Fu Yihan snapped angrily.

Gu Xiaoxiao spat at him, then supported Su Qingnuan onto Director Gao’s back. The two ran out of the company in a hurry.

After the three left, Fu Yihan turned back to the gawking crowd, waving them off with a smile. "Alright, show’s over. Get back to work."

The crowd dispersed, as though everything that had happened was just a fleeting joke.

"Stop crying." Fu Yihan wrapped his arm around Su Yuerou’s shoulder and headed toward the office. "It’s not worth it for that worthless woman."

Su Yuerou wiped her eyes and said softly, "But she’s still my sister..."

"Did you see her just now recognize you as her sister?"

Fu Yihan cupped her face tenderly, sighing, "Look at this adorable little face. What would happen if it were ruined?"

"What do you mean, ruined!" Su Yuerou pushed him away in mock annoyance. "I won’t ruin my looks!"

"Yes, yes, you won’t!"

The two clung to each other lovingly as they entered the office.

Once the office door shut, a figure emerged silently from the side hallway, stopping before the door. Eyes filled with anger and hatred burned as they stared intently at the closed door.

...

Her chest ached terribly.

Su Qingnuan couldn’t help but lift her hand, wanting to press it against her heart.

But as she raised her hand, something held it down firmly, rendering her unable to move.

Bound like this, Su Qingnuan slowly opened her eyes.

The sight of white greeted her – a place she was all too familiar with.

With a helpless curl of her lips, Su Qingnuan sighed faintly, "Here we go again..."

"I thought you wanted to come here."

The frigid, familiar tone made Su Qingnuan turn her head in shock.

Fu Yihan sat in his wheelchair, staring at her with a stoic expression.

"Mr. Fu..." Surprise flickered across her features, swiftly replaced by joy. "Why are you here?"

"As your lawful husband, isn’t it only right for me to be here when my wife is hospitalized?"

"..." Su Qingnuan
