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

Ye Zi seemed to have seen the light, emotions and so on were all bullshit. Only when you're truly strong can you do what you want to do and meet the people you want to meet.

"Song Ge, it's so great to have you!"

Ye Zi looked at Song Yun with deep affection and said.

Song Yun shivered under that gaze, "Gross, just get lost!"

The two joked and laughed as they left the hotel. Huang Baoding first drove Ye Zi home, then took Song Yun back to the Hua Shou villa.

Just as they entered, Song Bu was standing in the yard, relentlessly smoking; looking at the ground, there seemed to be half a pack of cigarette butts already.

"What's going on? Did you have a fight with my mom?"

Song Bu looked at his son and let out a deep sigh, "We have to leave for Forty-nine City today... Just thinking about your explosive-tempered grandpa gives me the jitters..."

"..."

Shit, if not for his old man's reminder, Song Yun would have almost forgotten about it!

According to his old man, the Bai Family's family law was very strict. Once you committed an unforgivable mistake, you'd be pinned down and taken to the ancestral hall, where a designated person would flog you with a whip!

And damn, the whip even had barbs!

Just the thought of it was terrifying!!!

"Dad, tell me the truth! If mom and I go back to the Bai Family, those people won't take their anger out on me, right?"

Song Yun asked earnestly.

He had thought his old man would give him a shot of reassurance, but who knew Song Bu would avert his gaze and stutter, "They... They probably won't..."

"???"

Dad, you don't even have that much confidence, are you trying to make me take the fall for you?

Is this what a father is supposed to do???

Fuck!

"Don't worry, son. After all, you also have the Bai Family blood in you. They won't be too harsh!"

Song Bu patted his son's shoulder, declaring with conviction.

Yet Song Yun still saw a flicker of panic deep in the other's eyes.

This trip to Forty-nine City was originally intended to include Yuan Siyi, but due to her mother experiencing some post-surgery issues, she had to stay in Magic Capital to take care of her.

Now, the people headed to Forty-nine City were only Song Bu, Bai Qiu, Song Yun, Ye Qingqing, Huang Baoding, and the six combat nannies led by Yang Yingying.

Magic Capital Airport, aboard Song Yun's private plane.

Song Bu lay back on the comfortable leather sofa and lamented, "I don't know what kind of life I've led. Not only did I marry a beautiful wife, but I also have such an outstanding son!"

Here it starts!

They hadn't even set out, and he had already begun to suck up to his wife and son, hoping that they would cheerfully handle the Bai Family's people and not end up causing problems for him!

Song Yun knew too well the small schemes in his old man's mind; he rolled his eyes at him, wrapped his arm around his wife, and went back to his bedroom to catch up on sleep.

The flight path was quickly secured, and an hour and a half later, they landed at the airport in Forty-nine City.

The party disembarked, and the airline executives were lined up awaiting the big boss.

From afar, anyone who didn't know better might have mistaken it for the arrival of a foreign dignitary!

"Boss, welcome back to Forty-nine City!"

The general manager stepped forward respectfully and asked, "May I know the purpose of your visit this time, sir?"

Song Yun waved his hand, "I'm here to attend the birthday celebration of an elder. You can dismiss everyone; we've got a reception planned."

The general manager nodded, then had the group of executives return to their duties, escorting Song Yun and his entourage to the pick-up area.

"12345... no, wait, where's my dad?"

Aside from the airport, Song Yun was surprised to find that Song Bu had disappeared when he started counting heads. The guy had run off too damn fast!

"Never mind him, let's go to the Bai Family first."

Bai Qiu composed herself, and truth be told, she hadn't returned to Forty-nine City in over twenty years and had no idea how her parents were faring...

People, when far from home, might only miss it a little, but once you truly step onto the land where you grew up, the feeling is both thrilling and frightening.

Outside the airport, a line of black Audis was parked, with Ouyang Jie, the flashy one, standing by the lead car wearing sunglasses. He ran excitedly towards Song Yun as soon as he saw him and gave him a tight bear hug.

"Big brother-in-law!"

Initially, Song Yun had been quite happy to see this guy after such a long time, but that greeting instantly changed his expression.

"Get lost! It hasn't come to that step yet! If you call me that again, I'll break your damn legs!"

Song Yun said discontentedly, "Let me introduce you, this is..."

"Rose... Auntie Rose... Wait, no, Auntie Bai!"

Ouyang Jie's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Bai Qiu, stammering, "Auntie Bai... I... I am the eldest grandson of the Ouyang Family, my name is Ouyang Jie, my father is Ouyang Rong, my grandfather is..."

Bai Qiu gave him a gentle smile and said, "I haven't been in Forty-nine City for a long time; how do you know me?"

"Your legend has been circulating to this day! I even found your photo in my father's study... Did I say something wrong?"

Well, well, well!

Could this be a case of unrequited love spanning several decades?

Song Yun couldn't help but worry about the potential scandal for his own father.

"Hehe, then please trouble yourself to take us all to the Bai Family later."

Bai Qiu said with a smiling face.

"About that... Auntie Bai, you might not be aware... Your father, the old Master Bai, has been hospitalized... There's talk among the upper echelons that the old master won't make it through the month... They've even started to draft the obituary..."

Like a bolt from the blue, this news left Bai Qiu standing there, stunned for a long time, unable to regain her composure. She suddenly grabbed Ouyang Jie and asked seriously, "When did this happen?!"

"Two months ago..."

Before he could finish, Bai Qiu had already stormed into the car with a grim face.

The group hurriedly got into the cars and Ouyang Jie led them to the sanatorium.

The Western Hill Jade Spring Sanatorium was home to high-ranking figures, all heroes who had participated in self-defense counterattacks and resisted Japanese invaders.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe these people in one phrase: they are the treasures of the nation, the backbone of our nation's past struggles!

When they arrived at the entrance of the sanatorium, the convoy was stopped by two armed guards.

Ouyang Jie got out of the car, presented his ID, but after the guards took a look at the people inside the car, they allowed only him to enter.

This was the duty of the two guards!

"Auntie Bai, my status isn't sufficient to bring you inside..." Ouyang Jie said with a hint of apology.

Bai Qiu's eyes were cold as she commanded, "Tell the guard to phone the higher-ups inside, say Bai Qiu has come back and wishes to see her father for the last time! Ask them if they'll allow me to fulfill my filial duties!"

Ouyang Jie shivered at the forcefulness of her words.

After he conveyed the message to the guard, the guard pondered for a moment and then reluctantly agreed. One remained on guard while the other used an internal phone to call into the office of the sanatorium's highest-ranking official.

"Xiao Zheng, what is it?"

"Chief, hello! There's a woman at the gate claiming to be Bai Qiu, saying she wants to see her dying father for the last time..."

"Who did you say?!!!"

"Reporting to the Chief, Bai Qiu!"

The person on the other end of the phone swallowed several times, seemingly out of sorts, and said, "Have them wait, I'm coming right away!"
