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

"What's wrong, Grandpa? You must be surprised that Song Yun could have such talents, right?"

Ouyang Jie was looking down at Song Yun's calligraphy with satisfaction, appearing smug and self-satisfied, failing to realize that the two old men in front of him were so angry they could tear him apart.

"Not beating you for a day makes you itch for trouble, doesn't it, grandson?"

Ouyang Shu picked up a belt and lashed it fiercely towards Ouyang Jie's backside.

"Ow, Grandpa, what are you doing? I kindly showed you a treasure, and you hit me!"

Ouyang Jie frantically rubbed his trousers. The old man's strike was so powerful and skilled that it was too much even for him, a young man.

"Hit you? If it weren't for the fact that you're my grandson, I'd have the heart to kill you!!!"

"Ouyang Shu! So this is your family's prodigal son! Whip him, whip him hard!"

"Wait a minute, respected elders, even if I'm to die, shouldn't I at least understand why?"

At this moment, Ouyang Jie was completely confused. These two seemed absolutely crazy!

Could it be that they wanted to keep the calligraphy for themselves? No way! He had to protect it!

"I'm asking you, did you write this dog-crawl-like calligraphy!?"

"Ah... What's wrong..."

"Wasting a heaven-sent talent! Squandering a precious gift! Ouyang Shu, hurry up and beat him to death for me! I'll adopt my grandson to you!"

Liu Changqing caressed each character with a pained expression, looking at them more tenderly than his own family.

As a descendant of the Liu Family, he had a natural obsession with paper and writing. In the Liu Family, everyone knew that breaking an antique would at most elicit from the patriarch a saying, "May the broken pieces bring peace," but damaging even a hair of the calligraphy would lead to a serious implementation of family law!

Liu Changqing now deeply regretted not having the ability to travel through time, or he would have definitely stopped Ouyang Jie from carelessly writing all over it!

"So writing is how I desecrate the calligraphy?"

Ouyang Jie stiffened his neck and asked, "This piece of calligraphy is mine to begin with, can't I even look at it to my own satisfaction?"

"Yours? Everything in this house belongs to me!"

Ouyang Shu aimed another belt lash at Ouyang Jie's rear.

Ouyang Jie was in a bind, unable to hit back or curse. Running away would only result in a worse beating later; he was close to tears now...

Meanwhile, Song Yun returned to his room and waited a good while before he received the message from Ye Qingqing and Chi Lu that they planned to take Ouyang Shu out for dinner that evening.

He was getting bored staying in his room by himself, so he decided to check on the old man's condition, and perhaps share some health tips with him.

When he reached the study's door, Song Yun saw many of the Ouyang Family's younger members gathered around, occasionally letting out giggles.

????

What's going on here?

Could it be that he missed some big drama?

Unacceptable!

Song Yun peered through the window into the room, where the two old men were fuming and spouting unintelligible curses, while Ouyang Jie was huddled on the ground, looking wronged.

"Elders, what happened?"

Song Yun pushed the door open and asked curiously.

Seeing Song Yun, Ouyang Shu sighed deeply, at a loss for how to explain the accidental destruction of his calligraphy to Song Yun.

It was all the fault of this unworthy descendant!

"You just recovered from a serious illness; you shouldn't get angry. Please, sit back in the chair and rest,"

Song Yun helped Ouyang Shu back into the chair and crouched in front of Ouyang Jie to ask softly, "Brother, what happened?"

"I made a mistake..."

"You realize you made a mistake? That's rare indeed!"

Ouyang Shu mocked sarcastically, leaving Song Yun even more puzzled.

What major mistake could Ouyang Jie, an adult, have made to infuriate the old patriarch like this...

Could it be... had this kid impregnated some girl?

"Brother, you're not young anymore. If it's not possible, just... Right, since it's already happened, I don't know how to advise you. I'll just ask one thing, do you really have true feelings for her?"

"I really did wrong... I truly did wrong, sob sob sob, although I have deep feelings for it, but Grandpa..."

Good gracious! Just as I thought!

The old man looks kind and benevolent, so why does he have to play the part of breaking up lovers!

No way, for the sake of my brother's happiness, I must speak up!

"Old man, Ouyang Jie has already admitted his mistake. If it's not too much, could you also take a step back? No one wants to see this kind of situation blow up. Besides, such a big issue should be settled. It could restore some reputation both for you and for the Ouyang Family."

Hearing Song Yun's words, Ouyang Shu clenched his fists, looking as if he wished to give his grandson another scolding.

"Ouyang Jie, quickly stand up and bow to apologize to your grandfather!"

Song Yun shouted, seizing the opportunity.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"You won't blame me?"

"Me...???"

What does this have to do with me???

Song Yun looked at Ouyang Jie with a face full of shock, frantically thinking of the women around him, wondering which one could have been ruined by this grandson.

Ye Qingqing is impossible, Chi Lu was with Ye Qingqing outside, so that's impossible... could it be... my sister Xiao Wan???

Damn it!

You beast, my sister whom I had just taken under my wing, ruined by you!

"Look into my eyes, is it what I'm thinking???"

Ouyang Jie looked up with teary tiger eyes and weakly nodded.

"I!!!"

Song Yun was so angry he wanted to punch the kid!

"Don't be angry, don't be angry, getting angry is bad for your health!"

"Song Yun, the Ouyang Family will give you an explanation for this!"

Ouyang Shu's face was filled with sincerity, believing that this ruined calligraphy piece could have been exhibited in the national museum. Song Yun would surely be even more heartbroken.

"Old man, let me catch my breath first..."

Song Yun slumped into a chair, his mind filled with the thought of Xiao Wan being pregnant.

Seeing Song Yun's distressed appearance, Ouyang Shu thought, 'This is bad', probably because to a calligrapher, each piece of calligraphy is dearer than their own child. Now things were tough...

"Ouyang Jie, Ouyang Jie, with such thick eyebrows and big eyes, I didn't expect you could do such a thing, sigh..."

Song Yun felt very worried. Oh well, while her belly still wasn't showing, they should get married quickly!

"Song Yun, I know I was wrong! I beg you to forgive me!"

"You... sigh, can you promise me to cherish her for life, to love only her?"

"I... I can!"

Ouyang Jie, under the hawk-like gaze of his grandfather, quickly nodded.

"Then can you promise me that you'll never allow anyone to bully her?"

"I can!"

"Good! Then I can rest easy!"

Song Yun stepped forward and patted Ouyang Jie on the shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Ouyang Jie, you're getting a good deal! You have to know that countless men admire her, you must, must treat her well!"

"Yes!"

"In that case, when do you plan to get married?"

"Now... um???"
