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

Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Su Family's Predicament



"Baby! Snap out of it, okay? Even though he's your Song Yun brother, that doesn't mean you can just be so casual, does it??" Li Shishi said angrily.

"Oh... I just couldn't help it..."

"Sigh... What am I going to do with you!" Li Shishi poked Ye Qingqing's head hard and sighed, "Being this forward now makes Qian Yunsheng, who chased after you back then, seem so pitiful!"

Qian Yunsheng?

Ye Qingqing pursed her lips; this man's family was also quite powerful in the Magic Capital. Last year, Ye's father intended to bring the two families together and pushed for that.

But back then, Ye Qingqing had her heart set on finding Song Yun and didn't spare a thought for Qian Yunsheng.

At that time, she disliked Qian Yunsheng so much that she didn't even want physical contact, let alone bear the sight of him.

Whenever there were gatherings, Qian Yunsheng would come up to offer his attentions, and Ye Qingqing wished she could hide far away.

Eventually, the matter fizzled out and became idle gossip among the high society of the Magic Capital.

Li Shishi touched Ye Qingqing's tender cheeks and said with regret, "Back then, so many girls in our circle were moved by how well Qian Yunsheng treated you, but you just didn't like him. Now, facing another man, you've kissed him in less than half a month?"

"That's different, when we were little, Song Yun brother promised to marry me! I've managed to live abroad by myself all these years, surviving on that promise alone!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, the air is filled with the sour smell of romance!"

Li Shishi lit up a lady's cigarette to gather her thoughts. If such dreamy events happened to her, would she accept them?

After pondering for a moment, Li Shishi felt she definitely would! And she would cling joyfully to Song Yun every day, never wanting to leave his side.

Helpless as it was, Li Shishi was just a sucker for good looks, and Song Yun happened to be exactly the type she extremely liked, both mentally and physically.

Sigh... Although she didn't want to admit it, Li Shishi truly envied her best friend!

"Shishi, do you know what I find most astonishing?"

Ye Qingqing raised an eyebrow and asked her best friend with a smile.

"What?"

"According to the news from my private detective, I discovered! Song Yun brother has only had one girlfriend over the years! And he hasn't even... you know! One could say he's brand new!"

Hearing Ye Qingqing's words, Li Shishi felt her gums itch with envy.

Handsome was one thing, but he was actually not a womanizer?

And he was still an untouched young stud?

Oh my God, the chances of finding a guy who's a fledgling bird are so much lower than for a girl! It was unbelievable, this Song Yun could truly be considered a modern-day Yi of the Sheath!

"Hmph! Have you ever thought that once that kind of thing is unleashed, men will know what it's like and won't be able to resist temptation? Then you will have reason to cry!"

Li Shishi hit her with a reality check.

"Impossible! Song Yun brother is not that kind of person!" Ye Qingqing retorted defiantly with her head held high, "You bad Shishi, always stirring up trouble in our marital harmony, beware of my Dragon Claw Hand!"

Ye Qingqing's hand slipped under the blanket onto Li Shishi's waist and began to tickle her.

"Ah~Hahahahaha~ I was wrong! I shouldn't have said that! Hahahahaha!"

....

Meanwhile, in the Su family's living room.

Su's father sat on the sofa, incessantly smoking cigarettes, while Su Jun and Zhao Junxia's faces were ashen, their eyes empty.

Even Su Luting, who normally had the best temper, didn't know how to start speaking now, appalled by what her mother and brother had done. To think they mortgaged the family home for a quick fortune! Wasn't that house something not to be taken lightly?

What were they as a family supposed to do now?

After a long silence, Su Jun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and began to speak slowly, "That..."

"You still have the face to speak!" Su's father slammed the table and stood up, roaring at Su Jun, "You disappointment! Don't think I don't know that all this was instigated by you whispering in your mom's ear! When Song Yun was your sister's boyfriend, you were constantly critical of this or that about him. Now what? Do you think you can compare to Song Yun?"

"I never imagined you, the prodigal son, would get bolder with time, daring to coax your mom into mortgaging the house!"

"All these years, as I've been ill, watching you ruin our family's reputation, I've been like a disabled person, unable to speak up, but that doesn't mean I'm not your father!"

With that, Su's father pulled off his belt and started lashing Su Jun relentlessly.

Su Jun, who had been coddled since childhood, had never suffered like this and wailed miserably on the ground.

"Old Su... hiss..."

Zhao Junxia wanted to intervene to save her son, but the moment she tried to get up, she aggravated her wounds.

"Shut your mouth! Su Jun turned out this way today, all because you spoiled him rotten! Have you not given it a thought, he's grown! If you keep coddling him like this, forget about squandering the family fortune, he'll be harmful to society next!"

Su's father bellowed, "Zhao Junxia, I find it harder and harder to understand you! You used to be such a good person, how did you become so calculative now?!"

Zhao Junxia had tears streaming down her face at these words, letting them flow unchecked, "Was it wrong to want to make money? Your medicine costs tens of thousands a year, and our son needs to marry. Where am I supposed to find the money as a woman? What do you expect me to do? Old Su, are you trying to drive me to death?!"

"Sigh!" Upon hearing this, Su's father sighed deeply and sank back into the sofa, brooding.

"Ting Ting, quickly check where your brother is hurt," Zhao Junxia hastily called Su Luting.

Su Luting reluctantly stood up and after checking, found that although their father had been harsh with words, his blows weren't that severe. Su Jun had only suffered superficial injuries that would heal in a few days.

"Mom, I don't mean to criticize you, but can't you take better care of yourself? You were supposed to be recuperating at home because the hospital was too expensive; we agreed to that. But then you went out to play mahjong and got yourself hurt again. The doctors even suggested hospital observation, and you still insisted on coming home. What if something happens?" Su Luting said, worried.

"All that about the hospital is just a scam! Do I not know my own body? You're just a girl, you don't understand, so keep quiet!"

Su Luting opened her mouth but was at a loss for words.

From a young age, she had noticed her mother's preference for the sons over daughters, always favoring her brother. Every time there was something delicious, Su Jun would be the first to eat. And now, having raised him to this age, he was still inconsiderate towards his parents, causing such a big mess. What were they going to do?

"If the house has been mortgaged, then it's mortgaged. We'll just have to rent somewhere else. We won't starve to death," Su's father sighed and said, "It's enough for the family to be safe..."

"And... I still owe fifty or sixty thousand in online loans..." Su Jun uttered weakly from the floor.

"What? You eat and live at home, where did all your money go!" Su's father demanded, eyes wide with anger.

"I was thinking, now that I had money, I should find a girlfriend... and then I bought her a bag the other day..."

Before Su Jun could finish speaking, he was once again pinned to the ground and hammered by his father.
