Born in the 1980s, she was remarried and became a stepmother; a cold, rough man doted on her, pinchi

Chapter 121 Brother-in-law, let me take care of you.

The news that Jiang Man was going abroad for further studies was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up complex ripples in Jiang He's heart.

A surge of jealousy welled up within her, and her twisted longing for Qin Yishen grew wildly like weeds. Although Jiang Man and Qin Yishen had formed a family and had adorable children, Shi An and Shi Ning, Jiang He's obsession remained like a persistent, unyielding wound.

One evening after Jiang Man left, the afterglow of the setting sun cast an ambiguous golden veil over the military compound. Jiang He seized this opportunity and sneaked into the compound.

She had long since secretly explored the paths here to the point of being intimately familiar with them, and had previously sneaked in many times with ulterior motives, trying to find an opportunity to get close to Qin Yishen.

This time, she went straight to Qin Yishen's house with a do-or-die determination.

Shi An and Shi Ning were playing carefree in the yard, their innocent laughter echoing in the air. When they saw Jiang He appear, their little faces instantly filled with curiosity.

Seeing this, Jiang He immediately put on an extremely hypocritical and enthusiastic face, her mouth stretched to the widest point, revealing a deliberately ingratiating smile, and said to the children, "Shi An, Shi Ning, I am your mother's younger sister. I heard that your mother went to a faraway place to study. Your aunt feels sorry for you, so I came to cook you a delicious dinner."

Shi An and Shi Ning blinked their bright, star-like eyes. In their innocent hearts, they only knew that the person in front of them who called herself their aunt was their mother's sister. They were completely unaware of the tense and complex relationship between Jiang He and Jiang Man, which resembled that of enemies.

Jiang He, like a slippery fish, scurried into the kitchen with practiced ease, quickly picking up pots and pans, seemingly busy preparing to cook.

As she chopped vegetables, the crisp sound of the knife blade striking the cutting board seemed to be the drumbeat of her twisted desires; all the while, she smugly fantasized about what was about to happen that night.

In her twisted mind, blinded by obsession, the absence of Jiang Man made the house seem like her stage, where she could immediately climb into Qin Yishen's bed.

"Now he's nominally my brother-in-law, and this taboo feeling is really exciting."

Jiang He's lips curled up slightly, revealing a smug yet twisted smile, her eyes flashing with unrealistic fanaticism and greed.

On the other side, Qin Yishen finished a long and busy day at the army base and rode his slightly worn but well-maintained bicycle slowly home.

Today, the military was busy with various tasks, training missions, and unexpected events, leaving him exhausted. His physical fatigue paled in comparison to his worry for Shi An and Shi Ning.

As soon as she stepped into the house, Shi An came running over like a cheerful little sparrow, chattering: "Dad, Dad, Auntie's here! She's cooking for us in the kitchen."

Upon hearing this, Qin Yishen's brows, which had relaxed slightly upon seeing the child, instantly furrowed tightly, as if an iceberg was about to erupt.

He was keenly aware of Jiang He's thoughts and knew that Jiang Man's departure made Jiang He feel that she had an opportunity to take advantage of him, so her visit this time must have been with malicious intent.

He walked briskly, swiftly towards the kitchen like a gust of wind.

Jiang He stood in front of the stove, a smug look on her face, like a schemer about to succeed. The aroma of food filled the air, but to Qin Yishen, the aroma was like a poisonous fog, full of Jiang He's scheming and malice.

"Jiang He, leave my home."

Qin Yishen's voice was like a cold, harsh north wind, instantly shattering Jiang He's reverie. Startled by the sudden shout, Jiang He nearly dropped the spatula.

She slowly turned her head, and the smug smile on her face froze instantly, like a frozen image of her ugly state.

She never expected Qin Yishen to return so quickly, and with such a strong and resolute attitude.

“Brother-in-law, I just saw that the children had no one to take care of them and felt sorry for them, so I cooked them a meal out of kindness.”

Jiang He tried to argue, deliberately putting on a wronged tone in her voice and feigning innocence, but a barely perceptible malice flashed in her eyes.

“We don’t need your care, Jiang He. You know better than anyone the relationship between us. Jiang Man is my wife and the mother of Shi An and Shi Ning. That will never change. Stop having these underhanded ideas.”

Qin Yishen's eyes were as sharp as a hawk's, exuding an undeniable majesty, as if he could see through every trace of darkness in Jiang He's heart.

Jiang He bit her lip until it turned white, and a trace of resentment flashed in her eyes, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope and was unwilling to give up easily: "Brother-in-law, Jiang Man is gone. Who knows when she will come back? Maybe she won't come back while she's abroad. I can help you take care of this family. I will be good to Shi An and Shi Ning."

"I don't need your help. Jiang Man isn't here, and I'm capable of taking care of Shi An and Shi Ning. Please leave immediately and don't come back again. Don't make me say it a second time."

Qin Yishen said without any mercy, his tone resolute and leaving no room for negotiation.

Seeing Qin Yishen's resolute expression, Jiang He knew that today's plan had completely fallen apart.

She glared fiercely at Qin Yishen, her eyes seeming to want to devour him alive. "Fine, I'm leaving. But don't regret it."

After saying that, she turned and hurriedly left Qin Yishen's house like a defeated rooster, her departing figure filled with resentment and anger. Qin Yishen watched Jiang He's departing figure and sighed inwardly, as if he was regretting Jiang He's stubbornness and worrying about the troubles that this family might face in the future.

He knew all too well that Jiang He's twisted obsession wouldn't dissipate easily, and she would surely try to create trouble again in the future. But for the sake of his family, and for the unwavering promise he made to Jiang Man, he had to stand firm on his principles, like a warrior guarding a castle, and never let any of Jiang He's schemes succeed.

He strode heavily into the kitchen, looked at the unfinished food, and shook his head helplessly. At that moment, the food was no longer just simple fare in his eyes, but a symbol of Jiang He's ugly and disgusting thoughts.

He gently called Shi An and Shi Ning over, squatted down, looked at them with warm but firm eyes, and said softly, "My darlings, if this aunt comes again in the future, never let her in the door, okay?"

Shi An and Shi Ning nodded as if they understood, and Shi An asked in a childish voice, "Daddy, why? Auntie looks fine."

Qin Yishen patted Shi An's head gently and said, "Baby, there are some things you don't understand yet, but you'll understand when you grow up. Anyway, listen to Daddy, okay?"

Shi An and Shi Ning obediently agreed. Qin Yishen put her apron back on and began cooking for the children.

As he skillfully stirred the vegetables in the pan, his thoughts drifted to Jiang Man, who was far away in Germany.

He imagined Jiang Man studying hard in a foreign land and silently prayed that everything would go well for her.
