Substitute Bride to the Crippled Billionaire
Chapter 80 Leaving

Chapter 80: Chapter 80 Leaving

"Back then, your father already said not to follow your mother. But stubbornly, that woman insisted on staying at home. You liked it, so we had no choice." The old man looked at Fu Yihan with frustration, "Now she’s done something like that. Do you think we can tolerate her anymore?"

Fu Yihan gritted his teeth and held onto the old man tightly. "Grandpa, can’t you just go with my idea for once? I don’t want Mom to leave!"

"We’ve already given her chances." The old man pushed Fu Yihan away and laughed helplessly. "If you truly care about your mother, you should grow up sooner, use your own abilities to support her, instead of having her here spreading nonsense!"

The old man’s tone was heavy, clearly showing his anger.

Faced with Fu Yihan’s pleading, the old man showed no sign of softening.

Yun Meifeng sobbed quietly on the side, wiping her tears now and then.

The scene was almost like a painting worthy of being called a masterpiece.

Su Qingnuan finally understood why this family meeting had only four people. If Fu Yihan had been added, it’s likely no one else would have had their turn, let alone Fu Yihan’s pleas.

"Enough, Yihan." The old man pushed Fu Yihan aside, his determination clear. "If this woman isn’t driven out today, how am I supposed to answer to your older brother?"

"Brother, brother!" Fu Yihan finally exploded with anger. His eyes turned slightly red as he shouted at the old man: "All you ever care about is my brother! When have you ever thought about me even once?"

The old man paused briefly, surprised by the outburst, before laughing angrily. "You’re saying I haven’t considered you?"

"When have you ever considered me?" Fu Yihan shot back angrily. "Anything good always goes to my brother first. Even the company was handed over to him to manage. If I hadn’t worked hard myself, the company would still be in the hands of that sickly man. What could I possibly get? You just wish you could watch me turn into a spoiled idiot, isn’t that right?!"

"....."

The old man stared in disbelief at Fu Yihan, his eyes full of shock.

He had never expected the grandson he had protected all these years to view him this way.

Taking another look, the old man grabbed the paper box on the table and hurled it at Fu Yihan.

"Get out! Take your mother and get out of my sight!"

Fu Yihan stood there grimacing for a while before turning to pull Yun Meifeng away.

"Mom! We’re leaving."

"Wait!" Yun Meifeng tugged at Fu Yihan, trying to stop him. "Yihan, listen to me—"

"There’s nothing to say!" Fu Yihan gritted his teeth. "Since we’re not welcome here, we’ll leave."

With strength in his grip, he dragged Yun Meifeng away.

"Bang——"

The door slammed shut. The old man clutched his chest, sat down gasping for air.

"Grandpa!" Su Qingnuan rushed forward to support his arm. "Are you okay?"

"..... I’m fine." The old man leaned back against the sofa and sighed helplessly. "How did I raise such an ungrateful child?"

Su Qingnuan remained silent. She had no right to speak in this matter.

After sitting with the old man for a while, he got up and headed back to his room.

Su Qingnuan also returned to her room.

Not long after, the door opened, and Su Qingnuan looked up.

Ah Qi was pushing Fu Yihan into the room.

"Mr. Fu, you’re back!" Su Qingnuan stood up and walked toward Fu Yihan.

Her eyes sparkled, and Fu Yihan raised a brow slightly.

"What? Something good happened?"

Su Qingnuan hesitated for a moment, nodded, then shook her head.

Fu Yihan frowned, "Is it good or bad?"

"I’m not sure whether it’s good or bad for you. I’ll tell you, and you decide for yourself."

"Go ahead." He replied.

Su Qingnuan smiled lightly. "The old man drove Aunt out."

"Oh. And?" Fu Yihan asked indifferently.

Su Qingnuan looked at him in confusion. "You’re not surprised?"

"Why would I be?" Fu Yihan turned away, eyes filled with disdain. "She did something like that. Grandpa, who can’t tolerate nonsense at all, of course drove her out."

"..... Fine." Su Qingnuan took a deep breath and continued, "It was the second young master who took Aunt away. He said he was leaving."

"Fu Yihan?" Fu Yihan sneered. "He’s said things like this more than once or twice. Don’t worry; he’ll be back by tonight."

"....."

Regarding the two pieces of news Su Qingnuan shared, Fu Yihan was completely indifferent.

"Alright, your news doesn’t mean much. Next time you hear something similar, don’t bother telling me."

"... Okay."

Watching Fu Yihan return to his room, Su Qingnuan covered her face, feeling a bit embarrassed.

Sure enough, on the first day of the month at the dining table, Fu Yihan appeared again, his expression not looking great.

"How’s the company’s situation?" the old man asked.

Fu Yihan glanced at him but said nothing.

The old man put down his chopsticks and slammed his hand on the table, causing the plates on it to shake.

"I’m asking you a question!" the old man said sternly.

Fu Yihan finally put down his knife and fork, seriously replying, "Pretty good. Everything’s proceeding step by step."

Upon hearing this, the old man nodded in satisfaction and picked up his chopsticks again, as did Fu Yihan.

The meal was incredibly awkward for Su Qingnuan.

Finally finishing the meal, she practically fled from the scene.

When she arrived at school by car, she hadn’t even entered the gate when she saw Gu Xiaoxiao hopping about in the distance.

"Why are you out already?" Su Qingnuan walked over with a smile. "And so early—are you just here for breakfast?"

"Of course not!" Gu Xiaoxiao linked arms with Su Qingnuan excitedly. "I’m here to take you to see the competition results!"

"The results are out?" Su Qingnuan asked in surprise.

"Yes!" Gu Xiaoxiao nodded quickly. "They were delivered this morning. I saw the list but didn’t get a clear look at the names. It’ll be posted soon. Let’s go check before class."

"Alright." Su Qingnuan nodded, pulling Gu Xiaoxiao toward the bulletin board.

They could have gone directly to the principal’s office to look, but after yesterday’s encounter, Su Qingnuan felt embarrassed to go again and decided to wait outside instead.

There were quite a few people waiting for news, all clustered around the bulletin board.

Soon, the principal came out, noticed the crowd outside, and smiled. "Oh? All here for the results?"

"Yes! Principal, how about you read them aloud for us?" someone shouted.

The principal chuckled lightly. "Alright, I’ll do you all a favor. Let’s see here!"

He looked at the list in his hand for a moment, and his smile gradually widened. "This year, our school has outdone itself! The finals expanded to twelve spots, and we got three!"

"Three! That’s so many? In previous years, it was only one!"

"Three! I think I might have a chance!"

The chatter around her didn’t distract Su Qingnuan at all. She was fully focused on the principal, her eyes fixed solely on him. Not even Gu Xiaoxiao gripping her wrist made her notice.

"Let’s see the first name now: Su Qingnuan, Su Qingnuan? Is Su Qingnuan here?"

"Here! Here!" Gu Xiaoxiao anxiously pushed Su Qingnuan forward. "She’s here!"
