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

"Are you my cousin-in-law?"

Xiao Wan asked tentatively, because Ye Qingqing's beauty was truly stunning. Even as a woman, the moment she saw Ye Qingqing, she felt her breath catch.

"Yes, yes~ My name is Ye Qingqing, you can call me Qing Qing sister~"

Ye Qingqing said with a smile, "I heard from Aunt that you graduated from the Central Academy of Drama, and there is a vacancy for a lead supporting actress in a movie. Your brother was planning to test your acting skills, but after I met you, I decided it should be you. Your appearance alone is a perfect fit!"

"No, no... Sister, you are the beautiful one..."

Just at that moment, Song Yun came over with a tray of washed fruit, took the phone from Ye Qingqing, and asked with a smile, "How have you been recently?"

"So-so..." Xiao Wan answered somewhat bitterly, not daring to say more for fear that tears would uncontrollably start to flow.

Seeing the mist in his cousin's eyes, Song Yun frowned and asked, "Who's been bullying you?"

"It's nothing, nothing. Brother, thank you. If it wasn't for this call, I might have been planning to change jobs."

Hearing this, Song Yun grew even more worried. When they were kids, the younger generation all lived in their grandparents' house. He knew their temperaments very well. Xiao Wan had been determined to become a good actor since she was little and had always been working towards this. Why was she now considering quitting?

But everyone has their own experiences, and if Xiao Wan didn't talk about hers, Song Yun, as her brother, wouldn't pry into her wounds.

"The role of the lead supporting actress is yours. Tomorrow, your sister-in-law and I will go to Forty-nine City to introduce you to a few directors."

Song Yun's words drifted into Xiao Wan's ears, making her suddenly widen her eyes. Was her brother going to rewrite her fate?

"Xiao Wan, tomorrow I will book our plane tickets and come over. Don't worry, with us here, you won't suffer any injustice!"

Ye Qingqing also said encouragingly on the side. No matter what, Xiao Wan was her little sister-in-law. Regardless of the grievances she suffered, she, as the sister-in-law, must help her gain back her ground!

Unable to hold back her tears any longer, Xiao Wan covered her mouth and nodded while sobbing.

Early the next morning, Song Yun and Ye Qingqing boarded the plane to Forty-nine City.

At eleven in the morning, the plane landed in Forty-nine City. As soon as they left the airport, they saw Xiao Wan waving at them.

Song Yun looked at the girl who had once been a little child and had now grown into a beautiful young woman, feeling very emotional.

Ye Qingqing affectionately took Xiao Wan's hand, and the sisters-in-law started to chat in whispers.

Song Yun strained his ears to listen, and it was all Ye Qingqing asking about Song Yun's past romances. Song Yun secretly hoped that his cousin wouldn't set him up!

The three of them hailed a cab from the airport and made their way to their aunt's house.

As soon as they entered the door, they saw their uncle and aunt busy in the kitchen, a warm scene that Song Yun had not encountered in a long time.

Seeing Song Yun, his aunt exclaimed in surprise, wiped her hands on her apron, and carefully looked him over, grabbing his arms.

"You must not have been eating properly; you've lost weight."

Perhaps in the eyes of elders, their children are never as healthy as when they are by their sides. This is also the bond of blood that links families in Hua Country – if you're not related to me, why should I care about your weight?

"Aunt, I'm doing quite well now, but it's your wrinkles that have been increasing these past few years," Song Yun said with a touch of heartache.

Song Juan gave Song Yun a displeased look, chiding him in her mind. Since when was it okay to greet a woman by talking about her aging first thing?!

Song Juan glanced past Song Yun and indeed, the girl beside her daughter was exceptionally beautiful, even making the popular stars on television pale in comparison.

Is this the new niece-in-law?

Truly, the Song Family ancestors must be letting out puffs of auspicious smoke from their graves, to have such a nation's beauty enter the family. She decided that she must burn some incense for the ancestors tonight, praying for the family's safety!

"Please sit, please sit, the meal will be ready soon!"

Song Juan warmly welcomed the guests, then asked her husband to come out and chat with them.

The great uncle was named Xiao Qiang. He was now semi-retired from the Musicians Association, but one could still faintly discern his youthful appearance on his wrinkled face.

He was a big handsome guy!

"Come sit, Song Yun!" Xiao Qiang patted Song Yun's shoulder and laughed, "I heard from my brother-in-law that you've made it big recently. How's the business going?"

"It's going okay. I'm involved in every kind of business."

Song Yun had a good impression of this great uncle for two reasons: firstly, the man was incredibly handsome when he was young, planting a seed in Song Yun's young heart to become handsome in the future; secondly, the great uncle was very open-minded, lacking the superiority that other elders had, able to get along with the younger generation.

"Hahaha, when you were a kid, I always said you'd be successful when you grew up. Now, it has come true!"

"You just say that to every kid you meet. How is Song Yun's success now related to you at all?"

Song Juan popped her head out from the kitchen and jibed.

The great uncle gave an embarrassed laugh, then stood up and carefully pulled out a bottle of vintage wine from the cabinet. Once the lid was off, a potent aroma instantly filled the room.

Fluttering his eyebrows at Song Yun, the great uncle chuckled, "You're in for a treat today. This bottle was acquired by one of my apprentices, and it's been stored for over thirty years. I absolutely wouldn't offer this to just any visitor!"

"You already have three highs and you still want to drink? I'm warning you, only one glass at noon!"

Song Juan struck again.

Hearing this, the great uncle reluctantly shook his head, wishing he could reseal the bottle with beeswax.

Ye Qingqing admired such a family atmosphere from the couch. After all, when she was very young, her father would often unconsciously forget many things he had promised her due to his business, so the warmth of family was very important to her.

"Sister-in-law, my dad's just an old drunkard. However, my mom usually keeps him in check and he doesn't dare to get carried away. Just watch, this noon my dad will surely wheedle his way to two glasses!"

Xiao Wan whispered to Ye Qingqing with a laugh.

"I really envy how free and easygoing everyone in your family is. That's wonderful."

Ye Qingqing's remarks reached Xiao Qiang's ears. Clearing his throat, he settled back into the sofa and said, "Qing Qing, we've troubled you. To marry into the Song Family without even a wedding ceremony, I'll definitely scold Song Yun, that rascal, properly later on!"

"Great uncle, as long as Song Yun and I love each other, that's enough. As for an external matter like a wedding ceremony, it doesn't matter whether we have one or not."

Ye Qingqing's words comforted Xiao Qiang deeply. He could tell that this young girl truly loved Song Yun, and that was enough.

"Time to serve the food!"

The words from the kitchen came as a command, and Xiao Qiang immediately transformed into a lackey, scurrying to bring out the dishes.

Sitting around the round dinner table, the great uncle Xiao Qiang poured the good wine and raised his glass, saying, "I thought I wouldn't see you, Song Yun, until the New Year, but you took Xiao Wan's matter so seriously. As an elder, seeing you all united and loving is enough for me. No need for more words, they are all in this drink!"

After speaking, Xiao Qiang tipped his head back and downed half a glass.
