Chapter 99: Chapter 99: The Rise and Fall of ’Hello, Sister-in-Law

It seems like there really are no secrets in the fire brigade, right?

That’s true. If one person knows, it’s like a spark that can start a prairie fire.

"Hey, hey, hey, be mindful up there, make room once you’re done."

People at the back, only able to see the dark back of heads in front, were super annoyed.

...

In the kitchen, the Qin couple was busy.

One was cooking, the other assisting.

At that moment, Mrs. Qin asked,

"Does Captain Jiang really have a significant other?"

Qin Minghan immediately grunted,

"Could there be any doubt? She’s at the Jiang Family’s place!

If you don’t believe it, you can see for yourself later."

Unknown to him, right after he spoke, he saw his wife furrowing her brows and murmuring softly,

"It’s all over, what are we going to do now?"

Old Qin’s hearing wasn’t bad; he heard everything and asked, puzzled,

"What do you mean ’what are we going to do’? Wife, what’s wrong?"

He saw his wife sigh deeply before she said,

"Old Qin, I think I inadvertently made a mistake!"

Huh?

"What did you do?"

Old Qin was quite unsettled.

He knew what kind of person his wife was.

Getting her to admit she was wrong was almost impossible.

"Wife, just tell me!"

He was visibly anxious.

"I, I invited Wei Lin over for dinner."

Hiss~

Old Qin was quite familiar with his wife’s colleagues.

Wei Lin had fallen deeply in love with Jiang Ye at first sight three years ago, hopelessly so.

Over these three years, she had declared her feelings countless times.

Unfortunately, the love was unrequited; her prince had a heart of iron.

Old Qin’s wife had tried advising her, but to no avail!

Today, it had been Wei Lin who suggested coming over, and of course, she always brought many gifts for Old Qin’s son.

That made it awkward for the Qin couple to refuse.

They thought it would be like normal, but who knew the unattainable beauty of Nanxi City’s fire brigade suddenly had someone?

And such a coincidence at that, both parties were about to meet.

Hiss~

A true battleground!

Old Qin’s mouth hung open, his eyes bulging,

"What? Wei Lin is coming?

Jing Halan, why didn’t you mention this before?"

If only she had spoken up sooner, they wouldn’t have been so passive now.

Captain Jiang and the others were already downstairs, and Wei Lin was nearly here too. Surely they couldn’t ask her not to come now?

"I, I just found out about Captain Jiang having a significant other."

Qin Minghan’s chest was heaving,

"I’ll go and find Old Jiang first."

"Okay, talk to Captain Jiang proper. I really didn’t mean for this to happen."

"Now you’re scared? You see... Never mind, I’ll go ahead and see if I can find a way."

After all, one was his comrade, and the other was his wife’s colleague; it was really a dilemma.

...

But just as Old Qin was opening the door, Jiang Ye and Lu Jing had already arrived.

"Have you got ears that catch wind or eyes that see miles?" he joked.

Old Qin forced a smile then looked at Lu Jing:

"The younger brother’s wife is here, come in and make yourself at home, don’t be shy."

Lu Jing still couldn’t quite accept being called ’younger brother’s wife,’ it gave her the chills.

But it obviously wasn’t a good time to object, so she reluctantly nodded and followed inside.

As soon as she stepped through the door, a wave of greetings ensued:

"Sister-in-law, hello!"

"Sister-in-law, hello!"

"Sister-in-law, hello!"

Each greeting louder than the last.

Lu Jing froze, finally casting a desperate look at the man beside her.

Jiang Ye almost couldn’t suppress his laughter and, after getting a fierce glare from Lu Jing, finally managed to say,

"Cough, is the skin feeling itchy?"
