Chapter 2: The Mute

“Miss Tang, please. This is your and Young Master’s new house. You will live here from now on.” The butler smiled mockingly. His attitude was not respectful or polite at all.

Tang Shuang walked into the villa. When she reached the second floor, she suddenly saw two suspicious men in the corridor.

“You go first. I’ll follow you.”

“What the hell are you afraid of? Jiang Ye is a cripple now. Hmph, I’ve disliked him for a long time. See how I teach him a lesson later!”

Tang Shuang frowned and moved her fingers to hide the two beads in her palm.

The two men walked into the room. It was very simple and plain. The furniture was obviously old, and there was a layer of dust on it. The curtains looked as if they hadn’t been changed in a long time either. They were still in the same style as twenty-odd years ago, and their light blocking quality was poor. The whole room was very dull.

There was a large bed in the room. At this moment, Jiang Ye was sitting on it. He was very quiet. Even his breathing was difficult to detect. He was like a statue.

“Jiang Ye, we’re here today to be your groomsmen. The bride isn’t here yet. Why don’t we help you dress up!” One of the men laughed.

He pulled out a razor with malicious intent, then propped the phone on the table and turned on the video recording button.

He came over today to humiliate Jiang Ye. At the same time, he wanted to record everything he did. In the future, he could show off this video in the circle of young masters in Hai City.

The once high and mighty Jiang Ye was actually trampled and humiliated by him today. Just the sound of it was already very satisfying!

“I’ll give you a new haircut first.” He picked up the razor. As soon as he said it, he saw Jiang’s fingers move. He thought Jiang was going to resist and immediately said to the other man, “Hold him down!”

Jiang Ye had already sensed that the two of them had been lingering at the door for a long time, but he didn’t take them seriously. He had reacted just now because… he heard the footsteps of a third person.

Those footsteps were light. They must belong to a girl.

Could it be her? Jiang Ye found it unbelievable. He had already become like this. She should know that she would never have a good life with him. Would she really be willing to marry him?

Just as Jiang Ye’s arm was about to be ruthlessly pressed down by the man, the door to the room was flung open. The two men turned their heads and saw Tang Shuang standing in the doorway.

“Who is she?”

“I don’t know. Could it be the bride? But I heard the bride is a mute. Haha, a mute marrying a blind man. What a perfect match!”

“She’s really good-looking. Look at her breasts and waist. Tsk tsk…”

“How about we strip them naked and take a photo after we’re done with Jiang Ye? Hahahaha…”

Tang Shuang did not look at the two men. Her gaze landed on Jiang Ye’s face. When she saw him, her heart felt like it was being clenched by a cold hand. It hurt so much that she could not breathe.

He was shockingly thin. His cheeks were even sunken, and his skin was sickly pale.

Those eyes, that were once as deep and mesmerizing as dark jewels, were now as still as stagnant water, without a ripple. He showed no despair, but there was no gleam of hope in them, either.

Buzz, buzz, buzz… The electric razor suddenly sounded.

The man smiled maliciously. His smug expression made him look like an ugly toad. The electric razor slowly neared Jiang Ye’s hair.

If it were before Jiang Ye was blind, these two people would probably not even dare to say a word when they saw him. Jiang Ye had an extremely noble status in the Jiang family’s main branch family, and the grandchildren of the branch family had long been excluded from the core of the Jiang family. They only had the surname “Jiang” to show that they were related to the Jiang family.

But now, they were like rats in a ditch that had suddenly crawled to the surface. While Jiang Ye had no ability to resist, they tried to humiliate him and taint his life.

How could Tang Shuang let this happen? She walked forward angrily and slapped the man’s arm hard. The razor fell to the ground. The man looked at Tang Shuang angrily. “B*tch, how dare you ruin my fun? Don’t think that I won’t dare to touch you just because you’re a woman! You’re courting death!”

After some noise, the man suddenly screamed as if his bones had been crushed.

Jiang Ye did not react when the man humiliated him, but when he heard that Tang Shuang was putting herself in danger to protect him, he immediately became anxious.

If Tang Xue was just someone he liked before, Jiang Ye now regarded her as his lifelong partner after she married him.

He could tolerate being trampled and humiliated because he knew that if he showed even a hint of anger to such people, it would excite them even more.

However, he could not tolerate Tang Xue being bullied by them. She was supposed to be the moon in the sky, the little princess in the palm of her family’s hand, and she was supposed to have a blessed love life… but she chose to marry him, a blind man. She was so smart that she should know what this choice meant, but she still came to him.

And he wasn’t even capable of protecting her at a time like this.

At this moment, Jiang Ye’s love for Tang Xue became even more passionate and deep because of his guilt. He opened his arms and hugged Tang Shuang tightly. “Xue’er, are you injured?”

Tang Shuang was trembling. Jiang Ye thought that she was afraid. He quickly reached out and gently stroked her hair. “Don’t be afraid.”

Tang Shuang was not afraid. She just could not control her excitement the moment Jiang Ye hugged her.

She never thought that there would be a day Jiang Ye would hold her in his arms.

The man’s arms were very solid and strong. His chest was broad, and he carried the scent that was unique to Jiang Ye. It was an indescribable woody fragrance, fresher than sandalwood, more textured than cedar. It was unforgettable.

Tang Shuang was on the verge of tears. So this was what it felt like to be held by someone you liked. Even if she died in this second, she was still the happiest person in the world.

Jiang Ye stroked Tang Shuang’s smooth hair and suddenly felt that something was strange.
