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

"How dare you speak like that!"

Bai Jingbing stepped forward and stood in front of Song Yun, saying coldly, "Bai Haoxue being confined to his chamber is what he deserved! The Bai Family's current situation is about to stabilize, all because Song Yun single-handedly turned the tide!"

"Him? A kid who's not even fully grown?"

Chu Mei scoffed and said, "Why do you think something we couldn't fix for so long suddenly got resolved just a few days after he arrived? Don't you have the slightest doubt in your hearts?"

"To tell the truth, I really didn't want to deal with the Bai Family's mess. If my mother wasn't a member of the Bai Family, I definitely would have stayed out of it."

Song Yun spoke indifferently, "Secondly, the thing that Bai Haoxue did was hook up with a girl, leading to her getting pregnant, and then he refused to take responsibility, resulting in her death. Her father, stricken by rage, sought revenge against the Bai Family. That's the truth of the matter!"

After hearing this, Chu Mei reacted as if struck by lightning, shaking her head frantically and yelling, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! No matter how much my husband enjoys fun, he would never betray me. You're lying, yes! That must be it! You wild child, trying to deceive me, deceive everyone!

Making my husband bear all the blame..."

Before she could finish, Bai Weiguo slapped her hard. A commanding aura that brooked no refusal shone in his eyes as he said, "Song Yun is not a wild child; he's the child of my own sister. If you can't act like an adult, don't blame me for cutting off all your financial support!"

The Bai Haoxue family had no income of their own and only lived lavishly due to the monthly allowance from the Bai Family. Being cut off would be more painful than death for Chu Mei!

"Out of the way!"

Bai Weiguo reprimanded.

Chu Mei, holding her face and full of resentment, stepped aside, her eyes brimming with venom!

Bai Weiguo and two others entered the room, where they saw Bai Haoxue sitting on a chair, trembling with fear. He tried to appear calm as he drank his tea, but his shaking arms completely betrayed him.

"Bai Haoxue!"

With a thunderous shout from Bai Weiguo, Bai Haoxue got so scared that the cup dropped to the floor, shattering with a crisp exploding sound.

"Big... Big brother... I really didn't know a woman could cause so much trouble... I already gave her a lot of money... It was her own decision to go down that path..."

Bai Haoxue stood up, fell at Bai Weiguo's feet, and cried out, hugging his big brother's legs, "I swear I won't cause trouble anymore. I... I will mend my ways, avoid the company of women. Big brother! Please spare me! I'm your own brother!

I never thought a woman could be so much trouble!!!"

Seeing his brother groveling and pleading, Bai Weiguo's heart softened. He patted Bai Haoxue on the shoulder and said, "Stand up and talk."

"I won't! I know I was wrong, and I know I've done something inhumane, but I only made a mistake that any man could easily make!"

Bai Haoxue cried out, "I never wanted our father to die. I'm just a leech, and if our father passed away and the Bai Family's power greatly declined, there would be no benefit to me at all!"

"All right, all right, stand up and talk, there are young ones in the room!"

Bai Weiguo said helplessly, "If you knew this would happen, why did you do it in the first place? You, from now on, must learn to restrain those inappropriate thoughts!"

As the conversation between the two brothers headed in a direction that seemed to diminish the severity of the situation, Song Yun frowned slightly and said, "Is that it?"

Bai Jingbing's heart skipped a beat when he heard this; he knew Song Yun was dissatisfied that Bai Haoxue had not received any punishment.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Song Yun, let's discuss some things in private."

"No! I may not be a saint, but I understand the concept of justice. The Qin Family might never have imagined that a romance could lead to their entire family's downfall! Yet the man who bewitched the elder Bai has been punished, and the Bai Family members bear no blame!"

"I can't accept this!!!"

After shouting out these words, Song Yun felt an unprecedented sense of relief in his chest.

"My parents eloped because of love, and when they returned they faced fifty lashes each. Bai Haoxue got someone pregnant, leading to two lost lives! Yet all you're thinking about is how to downplay the scandal. Is this the so-called integrity and transparency the Bai Family prides itself on?"

"Song Yun! The entire Bai Family is grateful to you for saving your grandfather, but this does not entitle you to tarnish our reputation at will!"

Bai Weiguo stared deeply at Song Yun.

Song Yun couldn't care less. Whether one is a higher-up or not, to him, they're no different from ordinary people!

"Then please tell me, how does the Bai Family plan to deal with Bai Haoxue?"

"This is an internal affair of the Bai Family; you, a member of the Song Family, should not interfere!"

"Hahaha, so much for the Bai Family's face, so much for integrity and transparency. In my view, the Bai Family's reputation stinks to high heaven!!!"

"How dare you!"

Bai Weiguo felt a surge of anger in his chest. Pointing at Song Yun, he scolded, "What exactly do you want! Sure, Bai Haoxue did something wrong, but he also took timely remedial action. I truly sympathize with the plight of that girl, but everything was her own choice. How can you pin all the blame on the Bai Family when both parties were punished equally?!"

"Heh, both parties punished equally? What exactly did the Bai Family lose in this incident? The old master has been saved; what has your Bai Family lost?"

"You!!!"

Bai Weiguo was left speechless by the retort.

Bai Jingbing also sighed from the side, acknowledging that Bai Haoxue had indeed done something wrong!!!

But he knew why his eldest brother had not punished their younger brother.

It was nothing more than the deep bonds of blood, plus the fact that in the new generation of the Bai Family's main lineage, Bai Jing was the only male heir. After their passing, it was possible that Bai Jing would inherit the position of the family head.

"Big Brother, if we let the third brother off so lightly, it might not be appropriate..."

"Then what should we do? Should we blow it out of proportion?!"

Bai Weiguo turned to Bai Jingbing and lectured, "It wasn't easy for the Bai Family to stabilize. Having this scandal break out is like handing our enemies something to seize upon!"

"In my eyes, that's all there is to the Bai Family," said Song Yun scornfully. "What 'premier family of Forty-nine City'? Pah! I am ashamed to have such kin! I would have rather played the fool and pretended to know nothing from the start!"

"You, the younger generation, are just too presumptuous! Don't think that just because you saved the old master, you can act recklessly! I really should deal with Bai Qiu properly when I get back. How did she raise a son who doesn't even understand the basics of respect and hierarchy!"

"Heh, you must be insane."

Disappointed, Song Yun shook his head and said, "That's it, then. From now on, I have nothing to do with the Bai Family!"

As he rose to leave, Bai Jingbing quickly followed and said, "It's already so late, let's talk about it tomorrow."

"I can't stand to stay here for another moment!" Discover more content at empire
