Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife

Chapter 199 New Year’s Eve

Shen Jianxi and Zhang Chao came in with bags in their hands. Yan Liang hid the tears in her eyes and asked, "Why are you here?"

"After having New Year's Eve dinner with grandpa, he went to bed early as he has no energy due to his old age. Only my second uncle and Jiannan were at home. I thought it was boring so I came out." Shen Jianxi put his things on the living room floor and said as he took off his coat.

Chenchen cheered and ran towards Zhang Chao. Zhang Chao lifted him up and spun him around, making Chenchen giggle.

"My family is even more boring. If there is a stepmother, there will be a stepfather. You've heard of it, right?" Zhang Chao smiled and winked at Yan Liang.

Seeing him look indifferent, Yan Liang felt sad, thinking that his life must not be easy.

The nanny had already prepared a ready-made meal, which saved them a lot of trouble. The four of them gathered together and it was a rare lively occasion.

Yan Liang recalled that he had spent the New Year with Shen Jianxi last year. Later, a series of sad things happened, and Yan Liang thought that he would never spend the New Year with him again in this life.

Unexpectedly, fate is really good at playing tricks on people. After many twists and turns, they still sit together this year.

But Yanliang's heart had already flown far away and would never come back.

The phone rang, Yan Liang picked it up and saw that it was Shao Qianyi calling.

"Yanliang, where are you?" The voice on the phone was anxious and urgent. "I'm at your door. Why is there no one at home?"

"what?!"

Yan Liang was shocked. He had been so confused these past few days that he forgot to tell his senior that he had moved. He quickly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, senior, I, I moved..."

Shao Qianyi was surprised and paused for a long time before asking: "What do you mean? When did you move? Why did you move? Why didn't you tell me?"

Yan Liang was speechless for a moment, his heart overwhelmed with regret and he couldn't say a word.

"Where did you move to?" Shao Qianyi didn't wait for Yan Liang to answer and continued to ask, "Give me the location, I'll be there right away."

Yan Liang hesitated for a few seconds. She didn't want more people to know where she lived now because it was only temporary.

She was very confused and had no idea what was going on. She also had no energy to make any plans, so she just stayed in Furong Garden temporarily.

Wait until her pain heals slowly before making long-term plans.

But faced with Shao Qianyi's unquestionable order, she had no choice but to send the location.

When Shao Qianyi saw Shen Jianxi and Zhang Chao as soon as he entered the room, he was surprised. He glanced between the two of them and asked Shen Jianxi in a cold tone: "Why are you here?"

Shen Jianxi suppressed his displeasure, raised his eyebrows at him, and asked, "Why can't I be here?"

"Senior, this is his house." Yan Liang pulled Shao Qianyi's sleeve guiltily.

Shao Qianyi looked at Yan Liang in astonishment: "You, you and him?"

"We're back together. What? Do you have any objections?" Shen Jianxi said provocatively, with a smug look on his face. "Yan Liang and I were supposed to be together. You knew that a long time ago. What's the big deal?"

"Oh, by the way, this is not my house, it's Yanliang's!" Shen Jianxi emphasized at the end.

Yan Liang took the things from Shao Qianyi and pulled him to sit down: "Senior, I'll tell you something later."

Shao Qianyi looked at Yan Liang suspiciously, and said nothing more. He sat down obediently and looked at Xiao Chenchen across the table. His eyebrows were furrowed and his expression was serious: "This child... Yan Liang, are you going to keep him with you forever?"

Yan Liang nodded and lowered his voice: "This is my responsibility."

Chenchen had a natural awe for Shao Qianyi, just like the feeling he had when facing Sheng Boyan. He consciously and obediently called out "Hello, Uncle" and did not come over to make trouble.

Yan Liang simply said that Jiang Xiaomei's death was an accident and did not call the police, so Shao Qianyi was not aware of it.

It was the first time that Yan Liang lied to his senior. He was afraid that he would notice something, so he lowered his eyes and did not dare to meet his sharp gaze.

"Do you think that old house is unsafe? Why didn't you tell me?" Shao Qianyi glanced at Shen Jianxi meaningfully, and there seemed to be deep meaning in his words, "You can tell Qianmin, my family has another vacant house. And my side, you know, is mostly empty. I rarely go home, and there is almost no one there. You and Chenchen can also live there, it doesn't matter how long you stay."

Shen Jianxi immediately became unhappy when he heard this, and glanced at Shao Qianyi: "Why doesn't Yan Liang live in his own house, but in yours?"

"Okay, stop talking, let's eat quickly, and then go back home." Yan Liang didn't want the two of them to quarrel, so he quickly interrupted Shen Jianxi.

With Shao Qianyi around, the atmosphere was not as harmonious as before. Shen Jianxi was obviously hostile to him, unlike when he helped him treat his leg before, when he was full of gratitude.

After dinner, Zhang Chao said he wanted to take Chenchen out to play for a few days. Yanliang asked Chenchen for his opinion. The little guy was eager to try and agreed.

Watching Zhang Chao carrying Chenchen out, Yan Liang was sad again and felt sorry for Jiang Xiaomei.

Shao Qianyi saw the tablet and asked in a deep voice, "Jiang Xiaomei, was it really an accident?"

Yan Liang remained silent for a long time. Then she said in a hoarse voice, "Senior, don't ask. It was really an accident."

Shao Qianyi said nothing more, silently offered a stick of incense, and turned to leave.

Shen Jianxi was watching TV in the living room, but his face was absent-minded. When he saw Shao Qianyi coming out, he stood up hurriedly as if to see him off.

"Let's go together." Shao Qianyi picked up the coat hanging on the hanger and said to Shen Jianxi. His tone was not a negotiation, but an order.

"I'm not leaving!" Shen Jianxi put his hands in his trouser pockets and walked over leisurely, "Yanliang is alone at home, I'm worried, I'll accompany him."

Shao Qianyi raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Then I won't leave either."

Shen Jianxi immediately glared at him, staring at him like a fighting cock.

"You all go away, I want some quiet time." Yan Liang rubbed his forehead tiredly and drove them both out.

Yanliang turned off the noisy TV and the room became quiet.

A person sat dejectedly on the sofa, his eyes blank, his body and mind filled with a sense of powerlessness from the inside out.

I had nothing in my mind, I just sat there blankly. I didn't know when I lay down, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

New Year's Eve just passed like this.

A new year begins.

Early in the morning, I received a call from Shao Qianmin: "Yanliang, Happy New Year! I just heard from my brother that you moved to Furong Garden. Why is it so sudden? When did you have a house there?"

Yan Liang said "Happy New Year" lightly. Listening to the cheerful voice in the receiver, it seemed distant and strange as if it was not in the same spatial dimension.

"I'll come find you and let's go out for a walk!" Shao Qianmin suggested enthusiastically.

Yan Liang said weakly: "No, I have something else to do."

After saying that, he hung up the phone without caring whether the other party was happy or not.

She made a simple egg for breakfast and then went to tidy up some things.

It is better to pack up the things you don’t need and put them away so that you don’t have to pack them again when you leave. Just put the things you use for daily use in a place that is convenient for you.

Then, in the bright sunlight that shone into the room, she began to embroider the dress.

She had to find something to do or she would go crazy.
