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

7:30 a.m. the next morning.

The front door of the Su family's house was knocked upon, and Su Luting clearly hadn't slept much during the night; her eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.

"Squeak~"

The door opened with a creak, revealing three women outside dressed in reporter attire.

"Hello, may I ask if you are Miss Su?"

"Yes, I am."

"I believe Mr. Ying had already prepared you in advance, if there is no special reason, shall we begin now?"

Su Luting nodded sullenly, letting the three people in.

Sitting on the couch, the three women fiddled with their equipment for a while, and then the lead woman asked, "We have heard that you and the current richest man in the Magic Capital, Mr. Song Yun, were once a loving couple, is that correct?"

"Yes."

Su Luting was plunged into memories by this opening remark, recalling the kindness Song Yun had shown her during their university days, as well as the help he had provided after entering society, all of which resulted from her and her family's greed.

"Then we would like to ask, did he behave like a rich man during your dating period?"

"No, we were just ordinary students at that time, every time we went out for a meal, we wouldn't dare order too expensive dishes."

"Oh? So you mean to say Mr. Song hid his real identity..."

The reporter asked more than a dozen questions in succession, and finally closed her notebook with a satisfied smile and said, "It seems that this Song Yun is not as good as the outside world portrays him. He is a genuine scumbag! Miss Su, rest assured, we will definitely get justice for you!"

"..."

Su Luting dealt with these questions perfunctorily; since it was over, she didn't bother to show any good face to the other party and gloomily shut the door before heading back to the living room.

"Mom, get up and pack your things, we'll try to leave the Magic Capital before noon."

Su Luting called out toward her mother's room.

There was no response.

"Mom?"

"Ting Ting, your mom's not in the room!"

Su's father opened his eyes to find his wife missing and became a bit panicked.

"What???"

Su Luting's eyes widened as she entered the room, noticing only her father inside. Suddenly feeling panicked, she quickly ran to her brother's room, which was also empty!

Upon thinking of the one million US dollars, Su Luting instantly realized what had happened!

She and her father had been abandoned!

"Dad..."

"You don't need to say it; I understand everything, cough cough. Just hurry up and pack your things and run. Song Yun surely wouldn't bother with an old man who's close to death!"

Su's father said while coughing, "Your mother has always been like this, sigh. But she has taken care of us for so many years. She may not have contributed much, but she has suffered a lot. Now that she's suddenly rich, she probably wants to start a new life, I suppose."

"But she's gone too far! Not leaving a single dime, does she not care at all about the lives of her daughter and me?"

Su Luting could no longer hold back and burst into tears, "My career, my love life, all disrupted by her. And now, just as I was beginning to see a glimmer of hope, it's gone, too. She really wants to drive us to our deaths!"

"Child, sigh, it's all because I'm not well, it's all my fault..."

Su's father hugged Su Luting, comforting her, "You have a college degree and a decent resume. Go to another place where no one knows you, survive!"

"But what about you? Wuuu, we're already running out of medicine at home. If I leave, you will truly be left to wait for death!"

```

"Haha, I've come to terms with it long ago, living one more day is a day earned, and do you really think I want to keep living? With this illness untreated, even taking medicine every day is excruciating. The only reason I've held on so long is because I couldn't let go of all of you. Now it's fine, I can finally have some peace alone."

The Su father showed a bitter smile, his eyes brimming with nostalgia for past times: "You've always been competitive, always wanting to be the best at everything. But life, well, it's never perfect. Maybe at the civil affairs office, I should have gone against everyone's advice and let you marry Song Yun. Ahh, it's all my fault, I didn't fulfill my duty as the family head.

You must live well from now on and don't come back here!"

"No... I won't let you die, they all don't want us to live, but I'm determined to live a life even more splendid than anyone else's. Just you wait, dad!"

Su Luting wiped away her tears, seemingly having made up her mind.

She turned and left, and sure enough, saw on the street corner one of the individuals from her home at night.

"Take me to your boss!"

...

The morning newspaper in the Magic Capital was especially gripping today, with countless people holding a copy in their hands. Newspaper stands were nearly sold out, and had to keep calling the printing press for more supplies.

Song Yun had just woken up and saw Huang Baoding waiting in the living room with a newspaper in hand as he came downstairs.

"What's up, Brother Huang? Looking so worried early in the morning."

Song Yun smiled and poured himself a glass of water as he asked.

"Mr. Song, I think you need to see this." Find your next adventure on empire

Huang Baoding passed the newspaper to Song Yun.

Song Yun glanced briefly at it, but was stunned by the main section's headline!

A single newspaper, with forty percent of the main panel, and today that forty percent was entirely about attacking him!

It criticized him for pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger, toying with innocent girls, and even said that he didn't take responsibility after the fact, among other accusations.

Seeing the familiar names on the paper, Song Yun was silent for a moment.

"Mr. Song, should I have people..."

"No need."

Song Yun nonchalantly placed the newspaper on the table, saying, "It seems the enemy has started their attack. Haha, does he really think that just over a thousand words can disgust me?"

"But you can't just let them keep stirring things up!"

"Hmm, you do have a point."

Song Yun took a sip from his glass and spoke calmly, "Go check it out. I'm quite curious who is behind this. As for the newspaper that published these false statements, there's no need to keep it running anymore."

That morning, the different social strata of the Magic Capital had various opinions about the incident.

Ordinary people, after seeing this, at most would curse a few words about Song Yun's lack of benevolence for his wealth, but in reality, they were almost envious to death. They wished they could become him, enjoying endless luxury, living a life where girls came to them at the mere wave of a hand!

But some high-ranking officials and big bosses smelled a conspiracy.

It was clear that someone was targeting Song Yun, and this article was a declaration of war!

Who could be so bold as to challenge Song Yun on his home turf!

"Ring, ring, ring!"

Song Yun glanced at the caller ID, it was Yue Ji!

"Hello, Song Yun, have you read today's newspaper?"

"I was wondering, with your busy schedule, how you found time to call me. Yes, I've read it, and it's full of nonsense, not credible at all," Song Yun replied cheerfully. "You don't believe it, do you?"

"I don't believe it, but people have already started to make a fuss about it. If it continues like this, the stock prices of all your corporations might not look good today!"
