Chapter 317 It's Hard for an Upright Official to Settle Domestic Affairs!
"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?"
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."
