He tried to save the fallen girls, but they came after him instead.

Clearly, Shin-il had just returned home drunk and caused a scene.

Shirakawa glanced at it, then immediately retreated and hid by the door.

He could vaguely guess that Shinichi Midori's outburst tonight was largely related to Maki's staying out all night.

If Shinichi were to discover that Maki was walking home with a strange boy in the middle of the night, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Maki also retreated behind Shirakawa in fear.

Her uncle becomes much more violent when he gets drunk, and she and Sakura stay in the room, afraid to come out. But this time, the situation seems to be more serious than before.

"Maki-neechan, what are you doing hiding here? Hurry up and go home."

"I...I..." The main problem was that Maki had just had her breasts stretched, and there was still a chill under her skirt. Now that she was home and talking to her family, she was worried about being exposed.

Moreover, Maki is an obedient and well-behaved girl both at school and at home, and she is still very afraid of being scolded or punished by her family.

“You’re different from me. This is your home, and your mother is still here. You can’t escape,” Shirakawa advised.

If you do something wrong, you have to go home and face it.

"Ok."

Maki mustered her courage and stepped into the room.

"Oh, Maki, you're finally back." Midori Kana stood up, her eyes filled with a mother's worry for her daughter.

"You still know how to come back!?" Xin Yi sat on the sofa with a gloomy face, suppressing his anger.

If Sakura came back later, it would be understandable that she and her group of hot female friends were out early and back late.

For a well-behaved girl like Maki, who doesn't have many friends at school, to come home so late is a big problem.

"Maki, why are you so late?" Kana asked with concern.

"Mom, I was preparing the script for the school festival with my classmates today, so I came home a little late."

"script?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention, our class is preparing to perform a play, and I'm mainly responsible for writing the script. Of course, I'll also be performing during the school festival," Maki explained.

At the same time, her feet were slightly together, concealing the ripped black bodysuit stockings beneath her skirt.

"Really!" Kana smiled. Her reclusive daughter had finally participated in class activities, and she had already put Maki's late return home out of her mind. "I didn't expect my daughter to have a talent for screenwriting. I'll definitely go back to watch the school festival!"

Midori gave Kana a wink and coughed a few times on the sofa as a signal.

Kana put away her smile and forced an angry expression as she lectured him.

"You're coming home so late, you should have called home beforehand to let your family know. Your uncle and I were so worried about you coming back so late!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, Mom." Maki lowered her head and apologized honestly.

I actually called back, but my mom didn't answer.

At that time, she should have been dealing with Uncle Shinichi, who was drunk.

"Alright, go to sleep now!" Kana didn't say anything more.

Maki bowed slightly, clearly to Uncle Shinichi, and then quickly ran back to her room.

Shirakawa, standing at the door, breathed a sigh of relief. Maki had only been scolded by Kana; nothing serious had happened.

Since that's the case, I'll go back to my room and sleep.

Shirakawa tiptoed away, but at that moment Shinichi, who had been sitting on the sofa smoking, slowly spoke.

"Sister-in-law, there's something I want to ask you." Xin Yi's tone was unusually cold, clearly indicating that he had sobered up.

"You said."

"Are Sakura and Maki really my older brother's daughters?" Shinichi asked, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.

Their figures and personalities are completely different; anyone would have a vague feeling that something was off.

"This..." Shinichi asked so seriously that Kana was quite flustered and didn't know how to answer.

Shinichi instantly understood Kana's reaction.

"I knew my older brother wasn't interested in women, how come he suddenly has two daughters?" Xin Yi muttered.

His brother suddenly returned to his hometown, announced his engagement, and said that he had two illegitimate daughters, which caused quite a stir in the family.

He then looked up and glared at Kana, "These two children, whose are they with? When were they born?"

"I adopted him from an orphanage. Ryota and I agreed that we would live together after marriage..."

"Don't mention my older brother's name!" Shinichi suddenly flew into a rage, slamming his foot on the floor, startling Kana.

"Phew~" Even after sobering up, Xin Yi knew he couldn't be so emotional. He took a deep breath to calm himself down. "Sister-in-law, I'll give you two choices. First, kick those two kids out. I don't want to support outsiders with my salary. Second..."

"Marry me and start a new family."

Shinichi's resentment towards Kana mostly stemmed from the kind of unrequited love that leads to destruction. Back in their village, his older brother, who was a blockhead and uninterested in women, had found such a beautiful woman as his fiancée, which was the envy of everyone.

As the younger brother, I was indeed a little jealous.

However, the older brother died in a car accident on the eve of his marriage.

The responsibility of taking care of his sister-in-law also fell on Xin Yi's shoulders.

Shinichi had also heard the rumors circulating in the village and thought that this woman was a jinx to her husbands.

But as time went on and people spent more time with her, they found her to be hardworking, gentle, and considerate; it was hard for a normal person not to like her.

Especially her curvaceous and full figure, which looks like it would lead anyone to have impure thoughts and desires.

Nothing tastes better than dumplings, and nothing's more fun than your sister-in-law.

"This isn't a good idea." Kana didn't want to make things awkward and tried to politely decline. She had no feelings for Shinichi. Shinichi often got drunk and would smash things up at home. Moreover, he was shrewd and mean. This kind of person wasn't worth entrusting her life to.

The overturned coffee table was his masterpiece from when he was drunk.

Upon hearing the news that Maki hadn't come home, he suddenly flew into a rage and smashed things in the house.

"Then you should kick those two children out. My home doesn't house outsiders."

Xin Yi will not make any concessions.

"They're still high school students, all alone and helpless. Where do you plan to send them? How are they supposed to live?" Kana was so anxious that tears were almost in her eyes.

"Then let's get married. So what if the daughter isn't the original and the husband isn't the original?" Xin Yi said coldly.

"You! Shinichi! You!" Kana was really angry, and she stammered in frustration.

Shirakawa listened outside the door, wanting to rush in to save Mitsu Kana, but he also had some concerns.

This is a family matter, and Shirakawa, as an outsider, shouldn't interfere.

Shirakawa has no industries or ways to make money, and he only has 1800 million yen on hand. He can't live off that money for the rest of his life.

Of course, Shirakawa absolutely could not allow Kana to be forced to marry Shinichi, and Shinichi was unlikely to be able to give Kana happiness.

What should I do?

“Don’t worry, sister-in-law. As long as you marry me, I will treat you, Maki and Sakura well,” Shinichi said, pointing to the coffee table that had fallen to the ground. “After we get married, this kind of thing will never happen again. I swear to God.”

Although Kana was angry, she wasn't so irrational as to lose her mind. The only man she could rely on right now was Shinichi. Without Shinichi, it wouldn't be realistic for Kana to work alone to support her daughter's education.

"How about it?"

"Xinyi, could you give me some time to think about this? This is no small matter."

"No, you have to give me an answer today."

“This…” Kana hesitated, deep in thought.

The thought of that gentle Aunt Mito becoming this violent man's wife made Shirakawa feel vaguely uncomfortable.

My mind started to uncontrollably conjure up images of my aunt and Shin-yi creating a baby.

Perhaps my aunt will never be able to take care of me so gently again.

What to do? Just deal with it as it comes! We'll see how it goes.

When it's time to charge, you must charge forward without hesitation.

Shirakawa tapped his head, stopping his daydreams.

One person leaned into the room.

160. The Battleground Between Sisters

"Shirakawa-kun, what's wrong with you..." Midori Kana asked in surprise.

Midori Shinichi merely glanced coldly at Shirakawa, that strange student who often came to his house for meals.

He simply doesn't like him, and he doesn't know why.

"Um, I just... um."

When he came in and was faced with two adults much older than him, plus the overturned coffee table, broken cups, and a messy scene, Shirakawa was speechless for a moment and became incoherent.

I can't just act like a domineering CEO and drag Kana Mito home with me...

None of the three spoke, and the scene fell into a brief awkward silence.
