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

```

"Is there really no room for negotiation at all?"

The young man's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Yuan Siyi.

"I'm not saying I won't pay you back! Why can't you trust me just this once? Why!"

"It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that I don't have that much money on hand. Other people's wealth is their own, it has nothing to do with me, do you understand?"

Yuan Siyi sighed with a hint of disappointment.

It seemed he was still the same, ever since childhood whenever something didn't go his way, he would always make a fuss until he got what he wanted.

But now he was already in his twenties!

He should have grown up a bit by now!

"Just this once! Sister, please help me this time! Whether I can turn my life around depends on you! I'm begging you to help me!"

As he spoke, the young man stood up and walked towards Yuan Siyi, his knees buckling as he attempted to kneel.

Yuan Siyi had never been in such a situation before; she quickly grabbed him and said, "It's not that your sister won't help you, it's just that your sister really doesn't have the money. Here's a card with 120,000 in it, consider it a loan to tide you over."

Yuan Siyi took a bank card out of her bag and placed it on the table, speaking with mixed emotions, "Brother, I hope you think things through before you act. Some things aren't as simple as they seem."

"..."

Seeing that the young man had remained silent, Yuan Siyi knew he was not taking her words to heart and could only helplessly shake her head and leave.

On her way back, Yuan Siyi received a text message – it was a notification that all the funds from the bank card had been withdrawn.

"He's just graduated, why would he need so much money? Something feels odd about this."

Yuan Siyi furrowed her brow and called her uncle.

"Hello, Uncle, do you know anything about Hao Hao starting a company?"

"Ah? Starting a company? What company?"

The other party was clearly taken aback and said, "Didn't he say he was planning to come to you in a while? He wanted you to help him get into some company for a couple of years' experience."

"???"

Yuan Siyi's eyes widened in disbelief while in the taxi, "What about his girlfriend then? I heard they were about to get married?"

"Don't even mention it. The girl's family started by demanding a dowry of 300,000, plus a demand for us to buy a house and a car in full. Your aunt and I might have a stable income, but we just earn a fixed salary. With the sky-high prices of property in Magic Capital, how can we possibly afford to buy a house just like that? So they broke up over a month ago."

"..."

"Siyi, did you hear some bad news?" Experience tales with empire

The other party asked curiously.

"No, it's nothing. I have some matters to deal with here. I'll visit you at home another day."

"Alright, alright, your grandma was just talking about you the day before yesterday. She said it's been so long and she misses you."

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Siyi felt very downhearted. She couldn't believe the person who had been lying through his teeth to her was her own cousin!

While 120,000 might not be a huge sum, the feeling of being taken advantage of like this was hard to accept.

At the same time, Yuan Siyi felt somewhat relieved. If she had really softened her heart earlier and asked Song Yun for the money, it would have been like throwing a meat bun to a dog – gone for good.

Even though Song Yun would certainly not dwell on such a small matter, she would still feel very guilty!

"I'm sorry, the number you have dialed has been turned off. Please try again later..."

When Yuan Siyi tried to call her cousin again, the line had already been switched off.

Well, it looked like that money was gone for good.

Heartbroken, Yuan Siyi returned to the splendid mansion.

As she entered the lobby, she saw Song Yun wrapping his arms around Ye Qingqing while watching TV.

"Siyi, you're back!"

Ye Qingqing called out with sharp eyes.

```

"Um, when did Song Yun brother come back?"

Yuan Siyi suppressed the displeasure in her heart and forced a smile as she asked.

"Just got home not long ago."

Song Yun was a sharp person, having encountered so many people and events, he could usually tell the state of someone at a glance.

There was something off about Yuan Siyi!

"Siyi, I have to go to the hospital for a check-up later, you stay at home and keep Song Yun company," said Ye Qingqing, intentionally leaving space for the two of them before calling Captain Yang to leave with her.

"Siyi..."

Song Yun tentatively asked, "How has your aunt's health been lately?"

"Mom is doing well, the doctor said she can be discharged from the hospital after a while."

"Oh..."

Song Yun scratched his head, feeling awkward with this kind of emotional exchange.

"Are you, by any chance, not in a good mood? If there's anything troubling you, feel free to talk to me about it."

"..."

Yuan Siyi fell silent upon hearing this.

After a long while, she slowly started to speak, "Song Yun brother, what kind of situation would drive someone to deceive their own relatives?"

"That depends on the situation," he replied.

"For example, borrowing money."

"That's a sharp question, if it's about deceiving relatives for money, it's mostly because they have outside debts they can't repay."

"Oh..."

This conversation confused Song Yun, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Is it a relative of yours who borrowed money from you?"

"Huh?"

Yuan Siyi snapped out of her reverie and, looking into Song Yun's calm eyes, the panic in her heart settled down.

She lightly bit her lip and nodded.

"How much did they borrow?" Song Yun asked curiously.

"Ten... over a hundred thousand..." Yuan Siyi said with low spirits.

"That's not a huge amount, if you can see someone's true colors for a hundred thousand, then the money is well spent," Song Yun said calmly. "It must not be just any relative to have you this worried, right? Who is it?"

"It's my cousin from my uncle's side. When my mother urgently needed money for medical treatment, my uncle lent me the money, so I've always been close with their family."

Yuan Siyi looked down, her eyes starting to mist, "But I really can't believe that I was tricked by him."

"Oh?"

Song Yun hadn't delved too much into Yuan Siyi's family relationships before. After hearing this, he pondered for a moment and said, "What do you plan to do about this? If you let it slide, your cousin might dare to cheat his own parents tomorrow."

"I... I don't know how to bring it up, after all in my uncle's family he's the only child and everyone dotes on him. If my uncle finds out his son is a swindler, they might end up in the hospital from the shock."

"A hundred thousand, it's not a small amount but it's not huge either. How about I help you look into it?" suggested Song Yun slowly. "If he used the money for something legitimate, we'll pretend nothing happened, and you won't lend him money in the future. But if he squandered it, I'll think of a way to help you set things straight."

"Ah... but you're usually so busy with many things... I don't want you to be troubled over my issues..."

"Nonsense, we're family, and if I don't help you, who will I help?"
