Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife

Chapter 8 Is He the Hidden Rival?

At the same time, Shen Jianxi was standing next to Old Man Shen, his teeth clenched, his expression tense, and his hands clenched and unclenched several times in a row.

Old Master Shen, Shen Gufeng, was wearing a black satin Tang suit and sitting on a mahogany armchair with a purple-black dragon-headed cane leaning against his side.

His hair was completely white, but his face had a healthy rosy complexion. The crow's feet at the corners of his eyes made his eyes look small and narrowed into a slit, but the slit reflected a sharp light, making him not look like an eighty-year-old man at all.

"Alas, Grandpa knows you feel bad." Grandpa Shen picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup and tapped the cup lid against the rim, making a crisp "ding ding" sound. "But you should understand your current situation without me saying more."

Shen Jianxi's face turned purple. After holding it in for a long time, he finally mustered up the courage to say, "Grandpa, I know! But no matter what, you can't treat Yan Liang like that. If it weren't for her, I would have died a long time ago!"

Mr. Shen frowned, his wrinkles deepened, and his tone was a little unhappy: "Are you blaming grandpa?"

"No, Grandpa, I..." Shen Jianxi was so nervous that he was at a loss and hurriedly explained.

"Yeah, I know." Old Master Shen lowered his eyelids calmly, "I didn't mean to do anything to her, I just wanted to scare her. You know, if you talk to a woman like this in a nice way from the beginning, she might ask for a lot of money. That's fine, but I'm afraid she'll hold on to it and refuse to let go. If she continues to talk nonsense outside, not only will our Shen family be embarrassed, but your reputation will be ruined. I have no other choice."

"Yanliang is not that kind of person!" Shen Jianxi repeated this sentence stubbornly.

Old Master Shen shook his head: "That's right. No one can see clearly who they are without going through something. This is the lifelong experience and lesson of your grandfather. You can't be soft-hearted and blinded by emotions! You were not like this before. How come you have become indecisive after being sick for a few years?"

Shen Jianxi moved his right foot uneasily, and his voice became quiet: "Grandpa, you know I am determined to succeed, and I will not let Shen Jiannan destroy the company. So you don't have to worry. When I picked Qingwan up from the hospital today, I had already agreed to date her."

"As for Yanliang, I will find a chance to talk to her. She is a sensible girl and won't pester me." Shen Jianxi's expression was solemn, and his eyes twitched unconsciously, revealing the pain and struggle in his heart. "But she saved my life, so I must protect her from any harm!"

Mr. Shen nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, Grandpa believes you can handle it!"

Shen Jianxi's muscles completely relaxed, and he slowly walked to the mahogany chair next to him and sat down.

"There is one more thing..." After a moment of silence, Mr. Shen said hesitantly, "I suspect he is back!"

Shen Jianxi's eyebrows jumped, and surprise flashed in his eyes: "You said, Shen Jianbei is back?"

The name seemed to have some terrifying magic, and he felt a chill the moment he said it.

Mr. Shen's face darkened, and his voice was filled with mixed emotions: "It's been twenty years, and it's time for him to grow up!"

Shen Jianxi picked up the teacup on the table next to him, brought it to his mouth, and drank it in two gulps, as if he was extremely thirsty.

"Grandpa, don't worry. What if he comes back? Not only will I protect the Shen family, I will also beat him up and make him get out of Yancheng!"

Mr. Shen looked at him deeply and said, "Don't underestimate the enemy! Do you know who he is now?"

Shen Jianxi raised his eyes and looked over in confusion: "Is he very powerful?"

Mr. Shen shook his head helplessly: "It's not certain yet. I suspect that he is actually the chairman of Xiyan Clothing."

"What?" Shen Jianxi's hands trembled, and the teacup tilted, hitting the table with a dull sound. "That new company that has made rapid progress in less than half a year by using online channels?"

Shen Jianxi never dreamed that the hidden opponent was actually the Xiyan Company, which had recently been promoted as a legend. Its development speed was comparable to the speed of light, so fast that it seemed like a ghost and was unbelievable.

He had been puzzled and pondered its development ideas, and felt it was too weird. The only martial arts in the world that cannot be defeated is speed, and he didn't expect that person to be able to use this trick in the traditional industry of clothing!

He was both impressed and afraid. If he met such an opponent, he would have almost no chance of winning.

I didn’t expect that we would meet on a narrow road!

He couldn't help but panic: "Grandpa, maybe it's not him..."

Mr. Shen glanced at him and said, "Why, you admit defeat before we even started fighting?"

"No!" Shen Jianxi said hurriedly, "I just don't believe they still have a chance to make a comeback!"

"After all, it's been so many years..." His tone was weak.

Mr. Shen's cloudy eyes looked ahead aimlessly, as if he was lost in memories.

"Grandpa, when did you find out?" Shen Jianxi looked at Grandpa Shen with a puzzled expression.

"I just discovered it today..." Mr. Shen's old voice trembled a little, "They look so much like me, so much like me. When I first saw his photo, I was shocked!"

Shen Jianxi opened his phone and searched for Xi Yan's chairman. There was not a single photo of him on the Internet, and he couldn't even find the chairman's name. There was only an executive director who managed Yancheng's company.

"No need to look for him. He is very low-key. If it weren't for a chance encounter today, I wouldn't have found him." Mr. Shen sighed, "Speaking of which, I have to thank that deaf-mute woman."

"Yanliang?" Shen Jianxi was distracted for a moment, and the tall man in black who sent Yanliang back quickly flashed in his mind.

The cold aura that seemed to dominate the world made Shen Jianxi very uncomfortable. At that time, he thought that it was because he saw the man touching Yanliang that made him feel a sense of crisis. Now, thinking about it, there might be another reason.

He told Mr. Shen about meeting that person, and Mr. Shen said meaningfully: "It's good that you have met him. Maybe you can contact him through other channels. Don't let him know that you already know his identity."

"You mean, through Yanliang?" Shen Jianxi's tone was somewhat resistant, but he finally gave in, "Okay, I'll find a way."

"Grandpa, I want to give Yanliang some protection. After all, I was the one who abandoned her..." Shen Jianxi carefully peeked at his grandfather's face.

Mr. Shen had a blank expression on his face: "It's up to you how much money you want to give her. I won't interfere."

"I, I want to give her 3 percent of the shares."

"What?!" Mr. Shen's tone suddenly rose, "Are you crazy? How can I give her the shares of Shen Group?"

"I'll give her some of my shares!" Shen Jianxi looked at the old man stubbornly, "This way she can have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of her life. She can live whatever life she wants, and it will also prevent people from hurting her for money. She's a deaf-mute girl, it's not safe for her to hold too much money."

"Your own is even worse!" Old Master Shen's expression became ferocious. "Do you know what the situation is now? Even one percent of the shares is very important to you! You only have 10%, plus my 25%, which is only 7 points higher than Shen Jiannan. If you give it to that mute girl, if Shen Jiannan finds out, he can just buy up some scattered shares to kick you out!"

"If I give it to Yan Liang, she will support me." Shen Jianxi said confidently, "Qing Wan has agreed to help me buy the scattered shares. By then, our shareholding will reach more than 40%!"

"Shen Jiannan, I will never allow him to continue to harm the company!"
