Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife
Chapter 11: Be Deaf and Mute Forever
Yan Liang did not dress up deliberately. She wore a comfortable cotton skirt and put on light makeup. She went to Jingyue Villa again with Shen Jianxi.
It is a three-story Chinese-style building with various green plants and flowers in the yard, which are in full bloom and have a fragrant smell.
Walking across an ancient stone bridge, there is an artificial lake under the bridge. The water is turquoise and carp of various colors are faintly visible.
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw Shen Jianxi's second uncle Shen Jiaxuan strolling down from upstairs leisurely, with his hands in his trouser pockets and a cigar in his mouth.
"Jianxi brought his fiancée? Great, welcome! When I saw Yanliang that day, I knew she was a rare good girl. It's not that I, as the second uncle, look down on my own nephew. Jianxi is actually not worthy of Yanliang, hahaha!"
Shen Jiaxuan spoke in a frivolous tone, with an expression that looked like he deserved a beating.
Shen Jianxi frowned and called out politely but coldly, "Second Uncle."
Yan Liang was secretly surprised. His second uncle was in his early fifties, but he wore a floral T-shirt and didn't walk and talk like a middle-aged man at all. If the old man wasn't watching over him, he would probably dye his hair a "Shamat" style.
Shen Jianxi did not stop and took Yan Liang directly to the study on the second floor.
As soon as she entered the room, Yan Liang keenly felt two pairs of eyes fixed on her. Her hair stood on end and every nerve was on alert.
When she looked up, her eyes met with Mr. Shen's. Yan Liang's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the old man was going to confront her.
Her expression was calm, without even a polite smile.
Old Master Shen snorted and glared at Shen Jianxi in dissatisfaction.
Shen Jianxi gently tugged at Yan Liang's sleeve and pulled her to sit on the rosewood sofa chair on the east side.
"Get out!" Old Master Shen gave Shen Jianxi a stern look that left no room for doubt.
Shen Jianxi mouthed to Yan Liang: "Don't be afraid!"
After saying that, he walked out reluctantly and closed the door gently.
Mr. Shen sat behind a sturdy wooden desk, looking at Yan Liang meaningfully.
Yan Liang nervously moved his feet, drooped his eyelids, and even slowed down his breathing.
I saw Mr. Shen take out a stack of papers from the drawer and write on it with a fountain pen. His white eyebrows twisted into a knot, he wrote a few lines, stopped, motioned Yan Liang to come closer, and then held up the paper for Yan Liang to read the words on it.
Yan Liang glanced at him and said, "Grandpa, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I can hear you!"
The voice is clear and crisp, like the chirping of an oriole in a valley.
Old Master Shen's eyes widened as if he had seen a ghost, and his cloudy eyes stared at Yan Liang's face. The look in his eyes was extremely complicated: "You, you are not mute?!"
Yan Liang smiled apologetically: "I am a normal person..."
"Then why did you pretend to be deaf and dumb to deceive Jianxi? Tell me! Who are you? What is your purpose in approaching Jianxi?" Old Master Shen asked a series of harsh questions without waiting for Yan Liang to explain.
Yan Liang looked at the old man with disappointment, and asked in a cold voice: "If I say that it is to help him regain his confidence, would you believe it?"
Old Master Shen looked at Yan Liang with an incredible expression for a long time, and said in a gloomy tone: "I don't care what your purpose is. Since you are pretending to be deaf and dumb, you should never let Jianxi know that you can speak! Can you do it?"
Yan Liang didn't like his condescending intimidation, and a rebellious spirit rose in his chest: "What if I can't do it?"
"I can't do it..." Mr. Shen said in a cold voice, "Don't blame me for being cruel!"
A flash of light flashed through Yan Liang's mind, and she widened her furry eyes: "Did you send someone that day?"
Mr. Shen did not comment, and said in a deep voice: "I originally disagreed with you staying with Jianxi. You will not be of any benefit to his future career and life. But he loves you deeply, so I decided to agree that you can be Jianxi's woman."
"Jianxi will give you the best life. Whatever you want, as long as it's not too outrageous, I can satisfy you. You can live in my holiday villa in Dongcheng. It has beautiful scenery, warm winters and cool summers. It's a good place. The only condition is that you can't get married with Jianxi!"
Yan Liang was stunned with shock: "You mean, let Shen Jianxi keep a mistress in his golden house? Let me be the mistress?"
She simply couldn't believe that such words would come out of the mouth of Mr. Shen, who had a good reputation outside.
"You don't have to say it so harshly." Old Master Shen frowned unhappily, his eyes sharp, "If you want to stay with Jianxi, you can only be a woman who cannot be seen in the light. Your feelings for Jianxi are beyond my imagination. I believe that for Jianxi, you will not care about your status. Apart from status, Jianxi will satisfy you in everything!"
"If it weren't for the fact that you've taken care of Jianxi for seven years, I would never allow a woman like you to pester him. He deserves better! Jianxi is a loyal child. Since he's begging me, I'll let him go. But," Mr. Shen's expression became stern, his eyes as sharp as knives, "you must behave yourself and don't cause him any trouble!"
"Remember! As long as you are by Jianxi's side, you will always be a deaf-mute. Don't increase his gratitude and guilt towards you!"
Yan Liang looked at Mr. Shen's expression, which seemed like he had bestowed great grace, and felt it was very ridiculous.
What made him think that Yan Liang would gratefully accept such an unreasonable request?
Because the Shen family has a lot of money?
Or do you feel like you are an orphan with no one to rely on and can't survive without them?
Yan Liang smiled suddenly: "Mr. Shen, you worry too much. I don't want to pester Shen Jianxi. As long as he tells me to break up, I will leave immediately and won't ask him for a penny!"
A hoarse gurgling sound came from Mr. Shen's throat, like the sound of sandpaper grinding metal, which gave people goose bumps.
Yan Liang looked at his face stubbornly, which looked like a dried eggplant. The feeling of humiliation surged in his heart, wave after wave, becoming more and more turbulent.
There is no need to say anything. For someone who is determined to misinterpret you and throw dirty water on you, explanation is redundant. Besides, Yanliang doesn't need to prove anything to him.
She turned to leave, and heard Mr. Shen's words from behind: "Remember, don't let Jianxi know that you can talk. You want to catch him in this way, and use such a trick. I will make you regret it!"
Yan Liang paused, opened the door, and faced Shen Jianxi's face.
He looked at Yan Liang worriedly for a moment and asked, "Grandpa didn't make things difficult for you, did he?"
Yan Liang shook his head and looked back at the heavy wooden door. Perhaps because the sound insulation was too good, he did not hear the conversation inside.
She ignored Shen Jianxi and went straight downstairs, walking towards the door without stopping.
Shen Jianxi quickly passed her and walked backwards, gesturing anxiously: "What did grandpa say to you?"
Yan Liang was about to scold him, what did he think he was? He wanted to enjoy the happiness of having many women, with women on both sides, but he didn't expect him to be such a disgusting person!
Then I heard a voice in front of me say, "Oh, I came at the right time, otherwise I wouldn't know that you, Shen Jianxi, are a fickle person who doesn't keep your word!"
