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

Chapter 280 Chapter 280 Dreaming Again?



"To see all of you together in my lifetime makes this old woman's heart very happy!"

The elderly lady said contentedly, "Where's that bastard? Why don't I see him? Or is it…"

"Mom, Song Bu went to Forty-nine City for some business, he'll come after he's done."

Bai Qiu defended her husband.

She certainly couldn't say that her husband had run away immediately after getting off the plane, scared of the Bai Family's household rules!

That would be too embarrassing to admit!

"Hmph, don't let me see him, or I'll definitely lash him a few times!"

The elderly woman said coldly.

At this moment, Bai Jingbing stepped forward to smooth things over. Truthfully, he once had a very good relationship with Song Bu, and he was very happy when he found out that his sister and Song Bu were together. Had it not been for their father's desperate attempts to stop it, he would have definitely taken Song Bu's side.

"Mom, how is dad's condition today? Don't let little sister stir up trouble and cause the old man more problems," he said.

Hearing her son's words, the old woman glanced indifferently at him and said lightly, "Why don't you ask why your sister came back? She must have encountered something insurmountable outside and had to swallow her pride to come back! Bai Jingbing, let me tell you! Go find out! Whoever dares to bully Qiu'er, I will be the first to not spare him!"

Her words warmed Bai Qiu's heart, and she patted her mother's hand, smiling as she said, "Mom, I really didn't encounter any big problems. Your grandson, Song Yun, is also an impressive person now, he's the richest man in Magic Capital."

"The richest man in Magic Capital?"

Bai Jingbing said in surprise.

Forty-nine City is the center of the system, whereas Magic Capital is the commercial center. To carve a bloody path among so many jackals, tigers and leopards, her nephew was not simple at all!

"I had heard about the richest man of Magic Capital before, but I never expected it to be my nephew. Very good, very good, Song Yun, you have made your mother proud!"

Bai Jingbing patted Song Yun on the shoulder and said, "But you're still young, and you must think more carefully when you encounter issues! If you have any trouble, talk to me. Although your second uncle isn't very capable, I'm more than enough to handle a little trouble for you!"

Too modest, second uncle!

Who doesn't know that the Bai Family is the first noble family of Forty-nine City!

Song Yun was quite willing to accept this affection from his elder.

The elder woman also stroked her glasses, looked at Song Yun, then at Bai Qiu, and finally said with a sigh, "A young hero! Not simple, not simple at all!"

"Mom, you mustn't spoil him. He still has a lot to learn from his elders," Bai Qiu said with a smile.

"Come, let's go see the old man together. I believe he will be very happy to see you," said the old woman as she hurriedly pulled Bai Qiu toward the villa.

Entering it, they reached a bedroom door on the second floor, and the elderly woman pushed the door open, saying, "Old man, guess who's here?"

The old man lying in the sickbed slightly lifted his eyelids. Despite his advanced age, the tiger doesn't show its might when dead, the aura of authority he naturally carried was still very oppressive!

"How old are you now, still in such a hurry? Could it be Bai Qiu who has come?"

The patriarch asked the caretaker to get a pillow to prop behind his back, and then leaned back on the bed, speaking slowly.

"Dad!"

Bai Qiu walked in from outside, buried her face by the bedside, and wept bitterly.

The patriarch was visibly startled. Then, with a trembling hand, he gently touched Bai Qiu's head, mumbling, "Am I dreaming again? But this dream feels quite real."

"Old man! Your daughter really has come back!"

The old woman at his side covered her tears and said softly.

The patriarch's eyes widened, he clenched his teeth, and he looked as if he was about to pass away any moment.

"Quick, go call the doctor!"

Bai Jingbing was startled by this scene and thought desperately that nothing should go wrong!

The patriarch was the backbone of the Bai Family; as long as he was alive, those enemies wouldn't dare to provoke them so rashly!

"Let me take a look."

Song Yun quickly stepped forward, held the old man's wrist, and thankfully it wasn't anything serious—the patriarch was just experiencing a spike in blood pressure due to his emotional excitement, which would be fine once it was lowered.

He pressed on an acupoint on the patriarch's chest and began to massage it carefully.

At that moment, a man burst in from the outside and threw himself at the side of the sickbed, wailing, "Dad! How could you leave us like this! What am I going to do without you? I might as well die too, I can't live without you!!!"

"What are you doing, third brother!" Discover stories at empire

Bai Jingbing's face darkened as he pulled Bai Haoxue up, his own father's complexion was visibly calming down—and here was this guy babbling nonsense!

"Huh? The patriarch is okay?" Bai Haoxue rubbed the corners of his eyes and then, upon seeing Bai Qiu by the bedside, opened his mouth wide in surprise.

"Four... Fourth sister? How did you come back!"

Bai Qiu didn't have much fondness for her third brother and barely nodded to acknowledge him.

"Stand aside!"

Bai Jingbing scolded sternly with furrowed brows.

Song Yun continued to massage while transferring vitality to the patriarch and in just a minute or two, he was so exhausted he nearly collapsed.

He looked as if he had just been dragged out of the water.

"Make way, please move aside quickly!"

A doctor in a white coat squeezed through the crowd, but when he saw Song Yun, the elder leading the group gestured for the others to stop.

After Song Yun stopped, the elder bowed respectfully to Song Yun and said, "Greetings Uncle Master!"

"???"

"???"

"???"

Everyone present was stunned, especially Bai Jingbing, who, as the director of the sanatorium, knew very well the weight of the old man in the medical community!

"Qi Elder, have you mistaken the person?"

Bai Jingbing asked tentatively.

But Qi Shan did not speak and continued to bow respectfully.

As Song Yun slightly looked up and saw Qi Shan, he instructed, "Prepare the Clear Heart Fire-Reducing Decoction."

Qi Shan, upon receiving the task, left the room without looking back.

"What... What is going on here?"

Bai Jingbing approached Song Yun utterly dumbfounded and asked, "That's Elder Qi! The highest-ranking predecessor in the field of Traditional Chinese Medicine today, how could he call you 'Uncle Master'?"

"Children without mothers have long stories to tell, we'll talk more about this another time."

No sooner had Song Yun stood up than he sat back down on the ground, almost not catching his breath.

"Qiu'er? Is that you, Qiu'er?"

The old patriarch slowly opened his eyes, his lips trembling as he asked, "You... how did you come back? Has that bastard been bullying you? I always said that Song Bu wasn't worth entrusting your life to, but you wouldn't listen! Look now!"

"But never mind, it's good that you're back. The Bai Family won't starve without your portion, but let me make it clear, from now on you're not allowed to have any contact with that bastard!"

These words made Bai Qiu a bit awkward as she massaged her father's leg and said, "Dad, actually, I came back for Old Master Ouyang's birthday celebration. Right after getting off the plane, I heard you were ill, so we rushed over immediately..."

"???"

The old patriarch was stunned for a moment. What?

So his daughter hadn't come because of him after all!
