Mr. Sheng's Newly Married Mute Wife

Chapter 120 A Cold Family

Shen Jianxi's wedding night was hard to describe.

He was originally thinking about how to find an excuse to escape, but now it's good enough, he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.

Wang Qingwan stayed at the Wang family, and he was too embarrassed to say that he wanted to leave, not to mention that he really wanted to hear what the Wang family had to say about what happened today.

When the police were there, he didn't say a word. As an outsider, the clues he could provide were almost zero. But to his surprise, the Wang family seemed to have the same accusation and pointed the finger at Yan Liang.

Logically speaking, Yan Liang is Wang Kaiye's biological daughter, and there is no reason for Wang Kaiye to drag her into this. Could it be that he took his anger out on her because of the poisonous land?

How could Shang Zixuan die? On the day of their wedding, the murderer would not have chosen to do it today if he had no other choice. According to Shen Jianxi's reasoning, Shang Zixuan must have seen some unfortunate secret and was silenced.

What mysterious secrets does the Wang family have?

Apart from what happened to Shen Caiping many years ago, he didn't find anything else.

Given Wang Qinghai's personality, he isn't someone who can keep secrets, so the problem must be with Wang Kaiye.

The woman named Zhan Meiting that Yan Liang mentioned seems to be the stepmother of Shen Jiannan’s fiancée. This is interesting. Why would someone who has nothing to do with her appear at the wedding scene?

Shen Jianxi was not worried at all that Yan Liang would be framed, because there was no motive. Shang Zixuan had never intended to give the jade bracelet to Wang Qingwan, and he knew that.

So he was puzzled as to why Wang Qingwan lied to the police.

This was an obviously untenable excuse, and speaking it out would only be disadvantageous to herself. Was Wang Qingwan brainless, or was she just trying to go along with Wang Kaiye's statement and not think carefully in her panic?

The second floor was cordoned off with tape, making it a restricted area.

No one was sleepy, and it seemed that they had not yet recovered from the sudden accident. People sat on the sofa in groups of three or four. The living room was silent. There seemed to be a smell of blood in the air. Although Shang Zixuan did not have blood on her body, the strange thing was that everyone did smell this pungent smell.

Wang Kaiye's face looked very ugly, pale with a hint of blue. Wang Qingwan's eyes were empty, she didn't know where she was looking.

Only Wang Qinghai twisted his stiff neck from time to time, glanced at the wall clock, and showed a hint of impatience on his face.

Shen Jianxi waited quietly, observed, and watched the last person leave the Wang family's house.

That person was Yan Liang’s best friend Jiang Xiaomei. He was a little curious as to why she didn’t go with Yan Liang and what made her stay until the end.

The clock pointed to eleven o'clock. Wang Kaiye seemed to have just woken up and gave Shen Jianxi a stiff apologetic expression: "Jianxi, you and Qingwan should go back and have a rest. I'm sorry for today!"

His voice sounded older than usual, filled with endless fatigue.

"Dad!" Wang Qingwan raised her eyebrows, her pupils filled with a layer of complicated haze, "Let's stay here tonight."

Wang Kaiye waved his hand weakly: "Let's go. After all, it's the wedding night. We can't spend it at my parents' house."

Wang Qingwan glanced at her father worriedly, and hesitated to speak, then turned to seek Shen Jianxi's opinion with her eyes.

Shen Jianxi had no intention of leaving. Instead, he asked, "Dad, in my opinion, there are three things that are certain. First, Mom couldn't have committed suicide; second, the murderer could not have been Yan Liang; third, a strange woman came to our house today!"

Wang Kaiye's cloudy eyes suddenly fixed on Shen Jianxi's face. His facial muscles twitched, and then he quickly lowered his eyelids. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Let's wait for the results of the police investigation. I don't believe your mother would commit suicide."

"The most urgent thing is to find that strange woman." Shen Jianxi stared at Wang Kaiye without blinking. From the slight twitching of his facial muscles, he could tell that Wang Kaiye must have concealed something. He must know that woman. Yan Liang did not lie. But whether that woman was Zhan Meiting was not certain.

"Dad, if you know that woman, tell the police. Otherwise, if the police find you, you'll be even more suspicious."

"Brother Jianxi!" Wang Qingwan interrupted Shen Jianxi with a sharp voice, anger flashing in her eyes, "What strange woman? You are already married to me, why are you still defending that bitch Yanliang?"

Shen Jianxi cast a cold gaze on Wang Qingwan's colorful face. The strong sense of oppression made her feel suffocated instantly. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything else for a while.

Wang Kaiye stared at Shen Jianxi meaningfully for a moment: "There is no strange woman. Even if there is, I don't know her."

"Jianxi, don't be so mean. Wanwan is your wife. How can you openly protect another woman in front of her, especially in front of Wanwan's father and brother!" Wang Qinghai finally couldn't sit still anymore. His face turned red with excitement. He stood up and looked at Shen Jianxi like a fighting cock.

"I dare not touch you, but if you bully Wanwan, I, I will still be rude to you!" Wang Qinghai straightened his chest and gave himself courage before saying this.

Shen Jianxi looked at Wang Qinghai with deep eyes: "What's going on between Jiang Xiaomei and you?"

Wang Qinghai's expression froze, with a guilty look written all over his face: "Who is Jiang Xiaomei? I don't know her!"

Shen Jianxi smiled suddenly. It was a tradition for the Wang family father and son to tell lies with open eyes.

I know that there is no point in saying more, and many things require investigation to get to the bottom of them.

"Okay, it's useless for us to say anything now. I believe the police will find out the truth. Besides, we still don't know how your mother died. Let's wait for the autopsy results." Wang Kaiye waved his hand impatiently, "Go away! I don't want to see anyone now!"

After saying that, he walked straight towards a guest room on the first floor.

Wang Qinghai was stunned for a moment, seemingly wanting to catch up but not daring to, and whispered to Wang Qingwan quietly: "Do you think my father can lift the confinement on me?"

Wang Qingwan glared at him unhappily: "You dare to go out after the ban is lifted? Aren't you afraid of being drowned by spit?"

Wang Qinghai narrowed his eyes: "I fuck, who dares? I fuck..."

"That's enough! Stop making trouble. Today's incident has probably spread all over the internet a long time ago. Even if the police block the news, it won't work. If you want to go out and be criticized, it's up to you!"

Wang Qinghai scratched his head: "Wanwan, I listen to you. In fact, she is not our biological mother, and we didn't kill her. Why should we bear so much!"

Shen Jianxi felt more and more that the Wang family was cold and indifferent, and thought to himself that if Yan Liang lived with them, he would be eaten up without leaving anything behind.

In fact, isn't it the same for me? In order to get the financial support from the Wang family, I didn't hesitate to abandon Yan Liang. It's true that people from the same family are like one family.

Shen Jianxi curled the corners of his lips in self-mockery.
