Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

"Sigh..."

Yue Ji gave a helpless sigh. His third sister was really going too far. If you're going to feign fainting, can't you at least make it believable???

Do you really think fainting is just about closing your eyes and it's all set???

"Uncle Yue, should we leave first?"

Ouyang Jie asked cautiously.

In his view, today's events were truly a bit chaotic, and he believed that Yue Ji must be feeling extremely restless at the moment.

"I'm so sorry, you've all been made to witness this farce."

Yue Ji now seemed to have aged several years in an instant, it appeared that this relative really had given him quite the headache.

If this were the workplace, who would dare to act out in front of him? It must be the blood ties, making him feel at a loss for how to respond.

The saying that even an honest official finds it hard to settle domestic squabbles was truly apt!

"Song Yun..."

Just as Song Yun and Ouyang Jie were about to turn and leave, Yue Ji called out to him.

"Let's pretend today's incident never happened, let's both take fifty lashes as it were. What do you think?"

Today Song Yun hadn't come alone, but had brought Ouyang Jie with him, harboring the intention of turning big problems into small ones. Now that the fuss had unfolded to this point, even if his nephew lay in a hospital bed, it had to be as if it never happened!

"Whatever you say."

Song Yun said indifferently, then departed.

When the room fell back into silence, the middle-aged woman squinted her eyes and looked around, then quickly stood up and started complaining to Yue Ji: "Yue Xiaosi, I don't know what you're thinking. Do you enjoy watching me make a fool of myself publically?"

"Big sis! When will you learn from our eldest sister and second sister! Stop blaming others for your mistakes! Didn't you see me desperately signalling you just now? And there you were, proudly boasting about your son, it was truly embarrassing!"

Now that the room was closed and filled with family, Yue Ji could no longer hold back, and he raised his voice: "Do you even know who those two are? One is the wealthiest man in Magic Capital, and the other belongs to the Ouyang Family from Forty-Nine City! The prototypes in those TV dramas you watched as a child were based on his grandfather!"

"Are they that influential?"

The middle-aged woman patted her chest, somewhat alarmed, and said, "They won't come back to trouble me, will they?"

"Scared now?"

Yue Ji snorted coldly, "Don't worry, both of them are talented young men with busy daily schedules. They wouldn't have the time to bother with an ordinary person like you!"

"That Ouyang Family, does that young man have a girlfriend? Look, Ni Ni is also twenty-five this year and still has no boyfriend. You, as her uncle, should also help her look for a potential match."

The middle-aged woman started scheming. If she could match her daughter with that young man, wouldn't she be able to enjoy the good life from now on?

Also considering the young man's influential family background, wouldn't her husband's career rise steadily?

"Have I not introduced Ni Ni to talented young men???"

Yue Ji nearly laughed from anger, and he slapped the table, raising his voice: "I introduced her to three boyfriends before, two of whom are promising young men within the system. But how did she respond? One was a Phoenix man from the countryside, surely he'd want to climb up using our familial connection, and she insulted the other by calling him a confident but plain man!"

"And that's not all, I found her a rich businessman, so what if the man is in his thirties and losing some hair? She insulted him to his face for being bald! Isn't that just an embarrassment for me!"

Hearing all this, the middle-aged woman gave a sheepish smile: "Isn't it just that fate hasn't arrived? I just feel that the young man from earlier was quite good; he's well-built and comes from a good family. If he got together with Ni Ni, wouldn't it also benefit you?"

"Hehe."

Yue Ji didn't know what to say anymore, "Not to burst your bubble, but with Ni Ni's face, all of it surgically altered, do you really think a young man from a prestigious family would take a fancy to her?"

"What if they do!"

The middle-aged woman refused to give up and said.

"There's no 'if' about it! Do you know what standards the heirs of noble families look for in a wife? It's whether the woman is still pure on the wedding night! Ni Ni has had over thirty boyfriends; she can't pass this hurdle!"

"You, you, you... Does Yue Xiaosi talk like this? It's so troublesome for you to find Ni Ni a boyfriend!"

"Yes, yes, yes, you're right, it's getting late, please take your time leaving."

Yue Ji had already given up hope of waking someone who was pretending to sleep, whether it was her son or her daughter. She always believed her children were pure, innocent, and the best in the world, but in reality?

One opened a small shop using his own name, losing tens of thousands every month, yet still boasting about being a successful individual.

The other skipped class, spending all day getting brainwashed by those motivational videos online, thinking she's a princess. She wouldn't even glance at a suitor who didn't offer a dowry of a million.

Saying that these two were utterly useless was no exaggeration!

Seeing that Yue Ji was truly angry, the middle-aged woman left resentfully.

...

Meanwhile, Song Yun and Ouyang Jie had just arrived home. Ouyang Jie, dissatisfied, said, "Bro, you didn't have to sabotage your brother-in-law like that; I'm still totally confused."

"What are you talking about? I didn't plan on you being any help today, just being a mascot was good enough," Song Yun said with a chuckle, looping his arm over the other's shoulder.

"But honestly, Uncle Yue's relatives... tsk tsk tsk..."

Ouyang Jie clicked his tongue and sighed, "If he continues to be affected by his family, he can forget about ever making it to Forty-nine City in his life."

"Enough already, every family has its own troubles," Song Yun answered just as he noticed Ye Qingqing burying herself into the sofa, sneakily popping out her little head with her big eyes blinking at him.

"Why aren't you in bed sleeping at this late hour?" Song Yun said, his voice filled with concern.

Ye Qingqing wrapped her arms around Song Yun, coquettishly saying, "I couldn't sleep without seeing you~ What did the Yue sj family say? How much do we have to pay for the medical expenses?"

"A billion!"

Song Yun teased.

Hearing that number, Ye Qingqing's lips puckered, and her eyes immediately filled with mist, "Wuwuwu, how can it be so much, a billion! Honey, I know I was wrong, wuwu, you can hit me."

"Silly cat, I was just kidding."

Song Yun quickly consoled her: "We didn't pay a single cent, and Ouyang Jie and I even got to watch a big show!"

"Really... really?"

Ye Qingqing was still a bit incredulous; after all, the other party's social status was well known.

"Really! Let me tell you about what happened," Song Yun helped Ye Qingqing to her feet and carefully headed upstairs to their room.

The entire hall was now left with only Huang Baoding, who was on night duty, and Ouyang Jie, looking at each other.

"What are you looking at me for! I'm about to win over the person I like; can you say the same?"

"Hehe, I've already won mine over."
