Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife

Chapter 1 The Deaf and Mute Fiancee

Yan Liang sat alone in the corner, shaking a glass of light yellow juice with her slender white fingers. The crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the hall was dazzling, and the cold light shone on her petite body, giving her a sense of detachment from the world.

She didn't like such lively occasions and didn't want to come, but Shen Jianxi said that today was his grandfather's 80th birthday party, and it would be impolite for her as his fiancée to be absent. Moreover, Shen Jianxi wanted to formally introduce Yan Liang to his family.

Yan Liang felt excited and expectant, but also a little nervous and scared.

She didn't want to leave a bad impression on Shen Jianxi's family, but she was also worried that she would not be recognized by them.

Since you can't avoid it, then face it bravely. This is Yanliang's consistent principle in dealing with things.

As a fashion designer, she did not have time to design a suitable dress for herself to attend the dinner. She only wore a dress that Shen Jianxi bought for her on the spur of the moment. The snow-white gauze was dotted with diamonds, which sparkled under the dazzling halo, like a galaxy fallen to the earth.

She liked everything Shen Jianxi gave her, even if it was a furry straw ring, she would treasure it as if it were a treasure.

Wearing the dress bought by Shen Jianxi, she felt as if she had really become his bride, and her heart was filled with secret joy. This joy was so full that she could ignore the critical and disgusted eyes of the people around her, which were projected on her unscrupulously.

If the unfriendly looks were sharp arrows, Yan Liang would have been pierced into a sieve by now.

"She is the little mute who wants to marry Mr. Shen?"

"That's her! A poor orphan girl with no background and a disability. How could Mr. Shen marry her?"

"I heard that during the years when Young Master Shen was paralyzed in a car accident, it was this little mute who took care of him. Tsk tsk tsk! She is so lucky. Young Master Shen is so grateful to her that he married her."

"She has been planning this from the beginning, right? Even if Young Master Shen cannot recover, she will still be able to live a life of luxury, so she won't lose out!"

"It's a pity that a man as proud as Mr. Shen marries a mute girl. How can he hold his head up high in the business world in the future? As his wife, she can't help Mr. Shen socialize."

The women, dressed in bright and beautiful clothes and adorned with jewels, uttered vicious words from their red lips. Yan Liang's fair and smooth face seemed to be shrouded in a layer of holy light, and his clear eyes looked across the crowd and focused on the middle of the hall, slightly to the east.

Shen Jianxi was wearing a smoke-gray haute couture suit, with an upright posture, and the straight trouser lines made his legs look even more slender.

He had one hand in his trouser pocket, and his casual posture revealed a sense of calmness.

A gentle smile appeared on Yan Liang's lips. In the crowd, that man seemed to be glowing, and her eyes could always lock onto him accurately.

Shen Jianxi seemed to sense something, and turned around. His narrow peach blossom eyes sparkled, and his gaze met Yan Liang's. He smiled brightly, and his steps involuntarily walked towards her.

A young man came up to Shen Jianxi and talked to him with a smile, but they did not stop.

Yan Liang remembered that the man was Zhang Chao, Shen Jianxi's college classmate. They had been friends for many years. Shen Jianxi no longer looked tense as he did when socializing with others. His expression was relaxed.

The women's eyes immediately followed Shen Jianxi, and Yan Liang once again became the focus of their conversation. They bullied her because she couldn't hear and spoke even more recklessly.

"I heard that Mr. Shen's car accident indirectly caused the death of the mute's mother, so the mute blamed Mr. Shen!"

"She is so heartless. Her mother is dead, but she didn't vent her anger on Mr. Shen. She even served him willingly for seven years. Seven years! I won't believe her even if you kill me!"

"That's right! This shameless scheming girl pretends to be pitiful. Isn't it because she has eyes for Mr. Shen's family background? This time, she got the upper hand! Humph!"

"You are jealous of her, right? Hehe, there are so many women in Yancheng who want to marry Young Master Shen. Even if he doesn't marry the little mute, it won't be your turn. Don't forget Miss Wang..."

……

Yan Liang's porcelain-white face looked even paler under the light and shadow, and her fingers subconsciously clenched the tall, slender glass.

Two tall and straight men came close to Yanliang.

Shen Jianxi asked Yan Liang using sign language: "Are you hungry? Are you tired? Otherwise, I'll take you to the second floor to rest for a while. We still have a while before we can go home."

Yan Liang smiled lightly, and his slender hands drew beautiful arcs in the air, like the wings of a fluttering butterfly: "It's okay, I'm not tired, don't worry."

Zhang Chao's eyes followed Yan Liang's gestures. It was the first time he saw a girl with a clean appearance without a trace of impurities. Her small face was as small as a palm, and her facial features were small and delicate, clean and pure. There seemed to be a sense of world-weariness in the depths of her star-like eyes, which was a disdain and disregard for the things around her.

He was stunned.

"Jianxi, do you really want to marry her?" Zhang Chao knew that the girl couldn't hear him, but he lowered his voice guiltily.

Shen Jianxi turned his head away so that Yan Liang wouldn't see his mouth shape: "In the darkest seven years of my life, she was my only light. I collapsed countless times, and it was she who saved me. Without her, I would have died long ago. She also helped me contact Dr. James and cured my leg. I will not let her down."

"But the old man may not agree. Besides, if you marry her, it will be bad for your career." Zhang Chao turned around apologetically, with his back to Yan Liang. "Shen Jiannan's fiancée is the daughter of Shaw Group. She will be a great help to him!"

Shen Jianxi groaned for a moment, and said in a low voice: "I understand that if those old foxes who support Shen Jiannan knew that I married a deaf-mute, they would definitely laugh at me and frame me. Moreover, facing Shen Jiannan, even with the support of the old man, I would be fighting alone."

"But if I were to be ungrateful, my reputation would also be damaged, not to mention that I really love Yanliang. In fact--"

During the two-second pause, Zhang Chao subconsciously glanced at the girl behind him. Seeing that she had a calm expression and a warm smile, he exhaled the breath that was suppressed in his throat.

"If Yan Liang could disappear, she would be a cinnabar mole engraved in my soul, and I would never forget her..." The expression on Shen Jianxi's handsome face dimmed a little.

There was a faint haze in Yanliang's dark brown pupils, and his eyes were like a clear spring in winter covered with a thin layer of ice.

She pretended to lower her eyes to look at the glass of juice in her hand to conceal the sharpness that flashed across her eyes.

The corners of his lips curled up in a subtle arc, and his heart felt like it was cut by a sharp blade, causing indescribable pain.

"So that's what he thought. I left quietly, and he gained his freedom, and he didn't have to bear the accusation of being heartless." Yan Liang curled his lips sarcastically, thinking to himself, "He thought I couldn't hear, but in fact, I pretended to be deaf and dumb for seven years in order to help him regain his confidence!"

She had wanted to reveal the secret to him tonight and give him a surprise, but now it seemed unnecessary.

Yan Liang never cared about other people's malicious speculation and sarcasm. As long as Shen Jianxi loved her forever, she would be happy in any situation.

I didn't expect the betrayal to come so suddenly and without warning, just like the storm tonight.
