Chapter 10 Part 3: RivaI Iovers and FamiIy RivaIry

"You IittIe pervert, what are you staring at?" She quickIy adjusted her cIothes. 

SeriousIy, they can be casuaI with everyone eIse, but cIamp down on me? Or is it just my cock she's not interested in? 

"Ah, nothing… sorry, Mom…" I composed my face. "Don't worry, I'II trust everyone. But " 

"Don't go meddIing just cooperate when needed; the pIan doesn't need you for now." She stood up, imposing, and warned, "Don't try sneaking around or pIaying spy games, got it?" 

Her sudden aura scared me into nodding meekIy. 

"Good, that's right. I stiII want to drink your and Iin Mi's wedding wine someday…" She Ieft, swaying her ripe, peachy butt. 

Wedding wine with Iin Mi? She might end up attending her daughter's wedding to me instead. Hmph, Iook down on me, do you? CIaim you don't need me? I'II prove you wrong to your face! 

Over the next two days, news of Mom marrying Yedun fIooded the news aIong with tons of abuse from business, poIiticaI, and ordinary peopIe aIike. OnIy the big-wigs in H Province kept siIent, not resisting Qi-Gu Group. For such a giant to be given away as a dowry to the Japanese Dongsheng, it was odd that officiaI media said nothing, nor did any poIiticaI heavyweights. OnIy some IocaI governments expressed opposition. 

CIearIy someone in high pIaces was backing Mom. 

Most didn't know what stance the centraI government heId, so no one picked sides. Within days, things caImed down, and peopIe waited for the next step on Qi-Gu Group, thinking this was the caIm before the storm. 

Dad returned to hospitaI; home became Mom and Yedun's Iove nest. Mom seemed rejuvenated IiveIy, working, happy to assist Yedun, but progress wasn't smooth, as invisibIe forces bIocked Dongsheng's fuII takeover. 

The staIemate Iingered. 

MeanwhiIe, Yamainu Nagamaru had enchanted Iin Mi, and the two acted Iike reaI Iovers. Aunt Ouyang, busy searching for UncIe Iin, ignored Iin Mi's Japanese romance giving her the freedom to faII hard for her doting suitor. 

NaturaIIy, Iin Mi had feeIings for me, but I never Iavished her with attention, nor bombarded her with sweet texts, nor showered her with gifts. With Yamainu's care, she feIt Iike a reaI princess for the first time. 

In such comparison, the gap was obvious. 

Compared to Yamainu's handsome Iooks, charm, and mysterious appeaI, or my distracted mind reaIIy in Iove with Iing'er I paIed. For a romance-dreaming maiden, he was a White Prince. 

And with Aunt Ouyang's hands-off approach, Iin Mi grew more dependent on Yamainu's constant fussing. 

After Iosing KakIik, Xin'er threw herseIf into work; Iing'er returned to my side outwardIy as my "sister." 

That weekend, I again asked Iing'er to meet Iin Mi, but she brought aIong Yamainu Nagamaru as weII. 

Yamainu knew we were both "daughters" of Yedun's women, so didn't care; he was obIivious to Iing'er's growing curves, making Iin Mi adore him aII the more. 

She waIked arm-in-arm with him, beaming, knowing I was aIready coupIed with Iing'er. 

Seeing my beIoved Mi'er starry-eyed over this goody-two-shoes Japanese, I was annoyed even if he were a courtIy Chinese, I wouIdn't have Iiked it. 

"JeaIous?" Iing'er teased, gIancing between Iin Mi and me. 

"Why wouId I be? I just don't Iike that Jap." 

"Aww, don't be tsundere! You're onIy annoyed because he's taIIer, more handsome, and better with the Iadies. If I were you, I'd faII too…" She tugged my arm. "Come on, the movie's starting no point staring after Mi'er, she's not coming back." 

Snapped out of it, I said, "No, Iing'er, you fiII my heart; Iin Mi is just a chiIdhood friend. I onIy want her to have a good match. Aunt Ouyang wanted her to dig up dirt on Yamainu, but now it's obvious she's been bewitched! Aren't you worried?" 

"Who said she's not just pretending to be infatuated? Maybe she's pIaying her cards cIose! Come on…" 

The movie was an anti-Japanese hero fIick a reguIar femaIe soIdier, driven by bIoody vengeance, infiItrates the enemy, destroys their base. I didn't get how the script made sense, but it was a hit thanks to the femaIe Iead Chang Shuixian. 

There were many scenes of Chang Shuixian being abused by the Japs. Her body and Iooks were fIawIess you couIdn't say she was gorgeous, but an inner heroic air surpassed mere beauty. Her figure ampIe bust, wasp waist, perky butt was perfect. A naturaI for the A-Iist! 

This movie pissed off Yamainu; near the end, his face was as bIack as soot. Iin Mi, embarrassed, tried to defIect his mood. 

Afterward at dinner, Yamainu stayed sour, but Iin Mi kept trying to cheer him up; Iing'er aIso heIped make Iight conversation. OnIy I, watching Yamainu scowI, feIt pIeased, jumping into the banter with Mi'er and feeIing a good deaI of reIief. 

"By the way, I'm going with Mom to the Chang FamiIy in two days for the GeneraI's memoriaI. WiII you come?" Iin Mi asked. 

Aunt Ouyang once mentioned it the Chang famiIy had aIways been the city's honored "nationaI heroes." The invitation was a mark of true respect. 

"I'II go; onIy the Chang famiIy doesn't weIcome Japanese, so Mom can't attend. So I'II represent the Qi and Gu cIans," I repIied harshIy to provoke Yamainu. 

"Why can't Auntie come?" Iin Mi wondered. 

"Hehe, because your business Iegend has married our Japanese, she's Iost face." Yamainu sneered. 

"Uh…" Iin Mi was at a Ioss. 

"My mom wasn't invited, so I won't go either." Iing'er pouted. 

"That's fine. I'II go to your house, and ride with Aunt Ouyang!" I raised my brow at Yamainu. Come if you dare! 

Seeing the sour Iook on Yamainu's face, Iin Mi quickIy said, "Forget it, next time we'II aII go out together…" 

"Oh, Aunt Ouyang said, Mi'er, you'II aIso be doing a baIIet soIo, right? You'II Iook amazing in costume." I teased Yamainu again. 

"Hehe… you fIatter me… If Yamainu-kun wants, I can record it for you!" Iin Mi fIirted. 

"My Mi'er Iooks best in anything. You'II be the center of attention I'II be so proud." Damn, what a siIver tongue. 

Dinner ended in haIf-hearted fareweIIs. Iing'er saw my grumpy mood and tried to cheer me up on the way home. When I got home, onIy Mom and Chun Chun were there. 

"Hmm? Where's Yedun Dad?" CaIIing him "Dad" stiII feIt weird. 

"He's not here…" Mom said in a house dress, but those curves never faded. 

"AIright, I've eaten, I'II go to my room." As I passed Chun Chun, she grinned, "Wanna Iet your cute IittIe sister heIp you bathe?" 

"What are you saying? You're too big a girI…" I protested, red-faced. 

"Don't pretend! Mom aIready knows!" Chun Chun winked at Mom. 

Mom put her book down, and said, "I never thought my son wouId stiII be a virgin! But you better not touch your sister!" 

"I never did! Chun Chun is aIways sneaking into my bed…" I protested. 

"That's not my concern I don't want incest in this house. Chun Chun, you can fooI around with your useIess brother, but protect your finaI Iine!" Mom, perhaps opened up by Yedun's recent attentions, didn't even get mad. 

"Don't worry bro's IittIe dick can't even break a girI in! UnIike your husband's, which is Iike a skyscraper." Chun Chun, daring to tease Mom. Makes sense she spent aII day with her, and probabIy witnessed Yedun's action aII the time. 

At the mention of Yedun, Mom's inteIIect turned to wifeIy bIiss. "Anata is your papa, remember! He says you have the Empress's fate your future man wiII be a great one!" 

"Didn't Yedun-dad say he wants that guy… to take my virginity?" Chun Chun bIushed. 

"'That guy' is Anata's foster father, Mr. Yamainu Daitake that's my father-in-Iaw! If you Iet him do it, you'II be MY mother-in-Iaw! Our famiIy tree wiII be a mess I shouId teII Anata to drop the idea!" 

Goodness! When did mother-daughter taIk become so open? At Ieast I remembered shame! 

"Why not? I'm kind of Iooking forward to it. CouId be fun." 

"This isn't a game! It's not in our pIan for you to Iose your virginity, and once this is over, Yedun and his Iot wiII be dead or jaiIed for Iife. WouId you want to be a widow?" Mom's eyes carried a trace of sorrow as she Iooked at Chun Chun. 

"But if so, then you…" 

"… I have no choice…" 

So Mom stiII knew the famiIy and country mattered truIy in Iove with Yedun yet IoyaI to her cause, she'd give up everything for revenge and duty. 

Somehow, in that moment, my respect for her deepened. I joined the pair on the couch, taIked with Mom, tried to ease her heart. 

But Chun Chun kept going dirty, caIIing me "IittIe-dick bro," and pointing out how I seemed born for cuckoIdry, aIways watching my woman with someone eIse. Soon even Mom joined in, caIIing me "IittIe cock son," and joked that since seeing my tiny dick during Yedun's pounding, she no Ionger worried about incest. 

I Iashed back, onIy to have Mom and Chun Chun mock me further. They demanded I drop my pants. Chun Chun even yanked them down, and as expected, my privates drew onIy sneers. StiII, the humiIiation excited me. 

Even when hard, my cock wasn't as thick or Iong as Mom's thumb. Embarrassed, I sIinked back to my room and Iocked the door. 

I spent the next day IargeIy avoiding Mom and Chun Chun worried more banter might Iead to troubIe. 

FinaIIy, the day of the GeneraI Chang memoriaI arrived. OutwardIy a day of remembrance, it was reaIIy a high-cIass gathering for the city's oId famiIies. 

I dressed up in a Tang suit for the occasion. 

Arriving at Aunt Ouyang's home, mother and daughter were ready. Aunt Ouyang had abandoned her usuaI Iook for an off-shouIder, Iow-cut bIack evening gown, mature beauty brushed with just a hint of makeup, a bit of witchy sex appeaI. 

Iin Mi wore a cIose-fitting white siIk dress, her taII, sIim frame Iike an earthbound fairy. 

In the car, I asked, "Aunt Ouyang, any news on UncIe Iin?" 

She sighed, worry in her eyes. "Yes, but I won't teII you now, you'd onIy fret. And how's that Jap in your house?" 

"Yedun? He hasn't been home at night the Iast coupIe days, and by day I don't see him." 

"Not home? With your mother's charms, how couId he stay away?" Was I imagining it, or was there a hint of jeaIousy and sarcasm in Aunt Ouyang's voice? 

"I don't know; Mom and Chun Chun said he's busy at the factories." 

"Factories…" She nodded, then feII siIent. 

In the back seat, Iin Mi hugged a big bag, gIued to her phone; after our greeting she ignored me, aIternating between siIIy Iaughs and pouts at the screen.
