Chapter 77: Chapter 77 Coddling People

Why is he angry?

When A Qi returned with the surveillance footage, she found Su Qingnan sitting at the door, holding her head in her hands, lost in thought.

"Young Madam." A Qi looked at her puzzled, "What are you doing sitting at the door?"

Su Qingnan quickly stood up, patted her pants, and said helplessly, "He locked the door from the inside, I can’t get in."

Startled, A Qi glanced at the door, and cautiously asked, "Is the Eldest Young Master angry?"

"...Probably?" Su Qingnan helplessly pressed her forehead, "I’ve been calling him ever since I got back, but he won’t respond to me."

"Then he’s definitely angry." A Qi affirmed confidently.

"Alright then..."

Glimpsing at the lock, Su Qingnan’s eyes suddenly lit up, she looked at A Qi: "A Qi, you’re the Eldest Young Master’s bodyguard, you should have a key, right?"

A Qi shook his head: "No."

"Really nothing?" Su Qingnan didn’t believe it.

A Qi smiled wryly: "The Eldest Young Master doesn’t like others getting close, naturally, he wouldn’t give anyone the keys."

"Ah..."

Does this mean she has to go to the guest room again?

"Knock knock knock—"

Su Qingnan was startled for a moment and turned back.

The person beside her was seriously knocking on the door. Su Qingnan quietly reminded, "I knocked for a long time just now, but no one opened the door."

As soon as the words fell, she heard a "click" sound, and the door opened.

She turned around in surprise, meeting the frosty gaze of that person.

Su Qingnan quickly stood up straight.

"Eldest Young Master, the video has been brought over."

Fu Yihan glanced at Su Qingnan and said coldly, "Come in."

A Qi went inside.

Su Qingnan stood at the door, unsure whether to enter or keep waiting.

The wheelchair suddenly stopped, Fu Yihan turned his head, frowning at the person at the door: "Do we need to invite you in?"

Hearing this, Su Qingnan quickly walked in and closed the door.

She followed closely behind the two and stood next to the computer desk.

"Play it," Fu Yihan said.

A Qi quickly transferred the video to the computer and played it.

The kitchen scene was chaotic, with people coming and going.

A Qi arranged this segment, just when someone picked up Su Qingnan’s medicine and then entered the kitchen.

Without even looking, she directly threw the medicine into a drawer without even opening the packaging.

"She just said in the living room that she opened it and looked," Su Qingnan cautiously reminded.

Fu Yihan glanced at her without speaking.

Su Qingnan immediately kept quiet.

The video continued, and that drawer remained untouched.

A Qi fast-forwarded the video.

Suddenly, A Qi stopped.

A familiar figure slowly walked into the kitchen.

Yun Meifeng?

Su Qingnan widened her eyes, not missing any action on the screen.

Yun Meifeng took out the medicine from the drawer, opened it for a look, then put it back.

Half an hour later, a maid rushed in, took the medicine out, and ran out, ending the footage.

"Eldest Young Master, it’s over," A Qi said respectfully.

Fu Yihan nodded, his gaze landing on Su Qingnan.

"What do you think?"

Su Qingnan immediately stood up straight, and said seriously, "They were intentionally framing me."

"Intentionally framing you?" Fu Yihan sneered, slowly withdrew his gaze, sneering, "A typical case of a thief crying ’stop thief’."

"With this video given to the old master, I can prove my innocence," Su Qingnan echoed.

However, Fu Yihan didn’t respond, his gaze on the computer screen.

"Eldest Young Master, should this video be handed over to the police?" A Qi suddenly asked.

Fu Yihan curled his lips in a stiff smile.

"Giving it to the police, it still won’t achieve anything."

He leaned back, resting on the chair, his eyes idly fixed on the ceiling.

"Give it to the old master, tell him I need an explanation."

"Yes."

A Qi took the video out.

Fu Yihan remained in that position, unmoved.

Su Qingnan stood still, not daring to move.

After who knows how long, Fu Yihan suddenly spoke, "How’s your competition going?"

"Ah... still hasn’t notified us of the result, probably will be out by tomorrow or the day after."

"Confident?" He raised an eyebrow, with a smile that was not a smile, and asked.

Su Qingnan nodded, smiling confidently: "Yes."

Noticing her confident demeanor, Fu Yihan turned his gaze away.

"Alright, go rest."

"Huh?"

Being dismissed so easily was unexpected for Su Qingnan.

However, there’s no need to continue facing this temperamental man, so naturally, Su Qingnan was happy.

Back in her room, Su Qingnan took out her book, intending to review it.

A small box slid out along with the book.

Startled, Su Qingnan picked up the box.

Every time her father went out, he would bring back gifts for both Su Qingnan and Su Yuerou.

Su Qingnan always received necklaces, while Su Yuerou’s gifts changed constantly.

Her bracelets were already filling the small boxes, while Su Yuerou’s gifts filled an entire room.

Judging by the width and size of this small box, Su Qingnan guessed it might be another bracelet.

Casually opening the box, what came into view was a small card.

A card about the size of a palm was placed in the middle of the box, blocking the contents below.

Taking out the card, an emerald green color came into view.

Su Qingnan was stunned, staring blankly at the box.

It was a bracelet - a crystal-clear jade bracelet, its verdant green color alone spoke of its considerable value.

Though her father always sent bracelets, he had never given such an expensive item.

After a long moment of surprise, Su Qingnan opened the card in her hand.

The palm-sized card was filled with densely packed words.

More of an apology letter than a message for Su Qingnan.

It was an apology from her father.

Su Qingnan felt her eyes slightly redden, wiped them, and continued reading to the end.

When she saw the five words "love, your father," tears rolled down her cheeks.

The card had a second layer, with a pocket inside holding another card.

"Dear daughter: This is the private money I saved over the years. Life with your in-laws isn’t easy; you should have your own money to rely on. Take good care of it."

A seemingly ordinary card, at this moment, to Su Qingnan, seemed gilded and encrusted with diamonds.

She held the card tightly, tears falling uncontrollably.

Thankfully, at least in this world, there’s someone still thinking of him.

Even though his deepest love wasn’t for this woman, at least, he never wronged her.

Su Qingnan wiped her tears, carefully stored the jade bracelet away in the drawer.

As for the card, she placed it in her wallet.

Stowing it anywhere else was less reassuring than keeping it close, especially now when she truly needed the money.

Although married into the Fu family, being supported by them was nothing like having pocket money back at her own home.

Everything she used these days was from what she had previously saved.

Patted her bulging wallet, Su Qingnan smiled at herself in the mirror, raised her hands.

"Cheer up, Su Qingnan! You can do it!"

No matter how winding the road of the future is, she will surely persevere!
