Chapter 2 - Chapter 2: She moistened her throat

Shi Ting was still thinking seriously whether to give him drugs or urine, but she didn't expect Qi Can to have an attack so quickly? ?

God has eyes, this is his own attack!

She didn't do anything!

Shi Ting moved aside with a face full of worry for her fiancé.

She thought about it again, this must be the adjustment brought by 10,000 integers, which made the plot develop in a direction that was favorable to her. In the public eye of this engagement banquet, she didn't touch or speak, and didn't take any action from beginning to end. The occasions where she was identified by others in the original plot became her evidence.

Shi Ting looked at Qi Can, who was surrounded by black bodyguards and had an inexplicably pale face, and thought that this lunatic would never be able to take revenge on her!

She really needed to talk more, speak freely to herself in her heart, and break through the big integer as soon as possible. Since she had this goal, she didn't feel lonely when she heard herself talking to herself for some reason, and she would never feel lost because no one could hear her inner thoughts.

A dumb scapegoat? Impossible.

--"It seems that he fainted this time because the cup was poisoned, but what does that have to do with a quiet little girl like me?"

The voice was still clear and penetrated into her brain.

Qi Can's tightly closed eyes suddenly trembled, and the orbicularis oculi muscle seemed to twitch.

--"Sometimes you should look for your own reasons. Have you ever had a feud with any powerful people over the years? Have you ever caused dissatisfaction among others because you love to show off too much? Don't open your eyes and randomly look for revenge!"

Qi Can: "..."

Qi Can forced his eyes open with one breath.

"President, you're awake!"

Assistant Shen was so excited that he didn't forget to lower his voice to 30 decibels, but it didn't mean much to the president. ——"Awake? So soon? Then what was he doing just now, taking a nap in public?"

"..." Qi Can had no expression on his face, his face was terribly gloomy, and his temples and brain were buzzing. But he took a deep breath, pushed away the crowd, stood up, and straightened his collar.

"I'm fine."

"Continue."

In this kind of occasion, he couldn't lose his composure, let alone let others find out that he was suffering from neurasthenia. The interests of the wealthy families were huge, and I don't know how many people were still trying to find out about the accident. Fortunately, a large number of black-clad bodyguards emerged quickly enough at that moment, so that everyone didn't have time to see what happened.

Qi Can's pupils refocused, and he simply explained to the guests that he was blinded by the light reflected from the glass, and asked his assistant to open the protective glass on the passage, and continued to advance the next ceremony process.

After finishing, his eyes finally fell on the little mute sinisterly.

Shi Ting had been standing outside the crowd, staying out of the matter. When she noticed that he seemed to be looking over, she immediately looked at him with a worried look on her face.

The little mute opened her mouth, but still couldn't make a sound. She waved her hands helplessly, and then remembered that they couldn't understand her sign language. She was worried that she couldn't express her concern.

Assistant Shen whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, madam. This matter has nothing to do with you. We will handle it."

Shi Ting nodded weakly and pitifully.

--"That's right, why is this lunatic looking at me? This matter has nothing to do with me. I'm standing here innocently and quietly. Can I suddenly make you faint and knock you out? I'm a god!"

Qi Can's head was in pain: "..."

He hadn't been disturbed by such frequent sounds for a long time. Now his whole head seemed to be struck by lightning and then pierced with needles. He wanted to find someone to drag her out and throw her away.

He had already replaced the champagne glass in his hand with the help of his bodyguards. He didn't need instructions. His subordinates naturally knew where to send it for secret testing, and the results would be out soon.

Even if it turned out to be a false alarm, no one could leave the manor before that.

But the question is, where did Shi Ting, a helpless little mute, get the news?

Qi Can raised his hand and pinched his brow. He had been decisive in killing people in the past few years in power. Even if his nerves were seriously damaged, it did not affect his thinking and judgment. This was the first time that Qi Can felt absurd.

No one of the many people present responded to the voice, so only he could hear it.

Qi Can looked at the safe fortress he built, and continued to drink the same glass of champagne calmly, with undercurrents in his eyes.

Or was it because he paid too much attention to safety, so he had auditory hallucinations?

If Qi Can didn't have a history of psychiatric illness, he would never suspect himself.

But at this moment, he looked at the little mute who nodded quietly and was full of true feelings, and it was hard not to have a slight suspicion: Is there something wrong with his mind again?

Qi Can stared at Shi Ting closely.

Her organic report and test sheet had been sorted out and sent to him long before the marriage. Shi Ting was a congenital mute, a voiceless patient, and could not be cured. Her living habits and life experience were also carefully checked by her assistant. She had no chance of contacting anyone higher than him.

What happened?

Shi Ting felt the deep gaze and felt the same sense of aggression as after the mental illness. Even if Qi Can had not completely fallen ill now, he was also a deep-minded, moody superior who looked down on her, used her, and finally tortured her!

Shi Ting took a deep breath and began the small man's fight against fate again.

——"Rich and strong! Democracy! Civilization! Harmony! Freedom! Equality! Justice! Rule of law!..."

Anytime, anywhere, sonorous and powerful.

Recite it 3,000 times, rushing towards 100,000 sentences.

"..."

The veins on Qi Can's forehead rose little by little.

It's impossible, he's not sick.

His brain has been stable for a long time, and it's impossible for it to suddenly become diseased and produce such a mental disorder.

But objective noise will make him irritable and manic, affecting his thinking and judgment.

Now in his territory, everything is still controllable.

The most urgent task is to make Shi Ting quiet down... no matter what method is used.

He lowered his eyes to block the cruel look.

"Why is Young Master Qi always looking at Shi Ting?"

Qi Can was the focus of the dazzling crowd, and he was the object of attention wherever he went. At this moment, his sideways gaze naturally fell into the eyes of countless people present.

"Jingjing, I really feel bad for you. Even if your Shi family and Qi family are getting married, you should be the one to come, right?"

"That's right. Your sister was born poor and never touched anything in our circle. What can she talk about with Young Master Qi?"

Several wealthy sisters were indignant. The size of Qi Group far exceeded any of their families. Young Master Qi has been everyone's ideal marriage partner for so many years. It's okay if they didn't get him, but why did they choose Shi Ting?

Shi Jingjing bit her lip as she looked at Young Master Qi's superior profile.

This reminded her of when her family had just found Shi Ting. Shi Jingjing had always been the only daughter of the Shi family. Her parents had told her since she was a child that her arrival was their greatest comfort. But when she realized that she was not the only one, and that the sister in the photo looked more like her superior brother, Shi Jingjing began to feel uneasy and insecure.

She was even more anxious when she heard that Shi Ting followed her adopted grandmother to herd in the mountains, and that her academic performance was excellent and she could pass the exam to get out of the mountains.

However, on the day when Shi Jingjing followed her parents to visit her in the hospital with trepidation——

Shi Ting was speechless.

She was hit unexpectedly and became mute when she opened her eyes.

Shi Jingjing knew that it was not good to think like this, but she could not control her secret joy. How could a mute compare with her? In the next few years, the mute really lost his brilliance. Not only did he have no sense of existence in the circle of wealthy families, but he was gradually ranked last by his parents.

But just when Shi Jingjing had completely forgotten her, this mute was chosen by Qi Can!

Now, looking at the handsome and cold Qi Da Shao, he is so perfect, from mind to appearance, all are the top representatives. Her anxiety and panic in the past swept over again.

"Why should resources be tilted towards her just because she was lost since she was a child? Your family is too partial to her!"

"What is so good about her? Can she be favored by Qi Da Shao?"

Excellent place?

Shi Jingjing was originally full of anxiety, but her heart suddenly moved, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips again.

Mr. Qi hasn't heard Shi Ting speak until now, right?

She can keep pretending, but what if... this mute sister faces a situation where she has to respond?

If Shi Ting wants to prove that she is not mute, she must speak. If she can only remain silent, won't everyone find out? This is simply a dead end.

Even if Mr. Qi finds out that she can't speak and gets angry for a while, the marriage relationship between their two families will not be broken, and there is still a more suitable candidate.

Shi Jingjing looked across the crowd at the quiet Shi Ting.

She won't allow Shi Ting to be so "quiet" anymore~

Finally, the engagement ceremony was completed and the banquet began.

The guests sat down in the hall one after another, and the Shi and Qi families sat at the same table.

On the Qi family side, there was only Mr. Qi and the old housekeeper who had been in the Qi family for decades. Because it is well known that Young Master Qi has a very bad relationship with his biological father. Not only did he exclude him from the group, he was also not allowed to step into the manor with his stepmother and brother.

At the Shi family, there were Shi's father, Shi's mother and the youngest daughter. Shi Jingjing finally had the opportunity to sit at the same table with Young Master Qi. She deliberately chose to sit opposite Qi Can. Seeing Shi Ting's obedient appearance, a light flashed in her eyes.

Shi Ting yawned quietly and sat down behind Qi Can. Assistant Shen followed closely behind.

Originally, Young Master Qi would dine alone and would not be in the same place with others, but for some reason, Young Master Qi suddenly didn't mind.

Qi Can had a blank expression.

Will minding be useful?

- "It's just right. I should drink some water to moisten my throat. I've worked so hard all night!"

Qi Can: "..."

Shi Ting sat down at the table with great interest, ready to eat. The quality of the dinner at the Qi Family Manor was of course good. She saw a lot of ingredients that were good for soothing the throat. Shi Ting took a bowl of snow pear and white fungus soup, and another bowl of lily and lotus seed soup, which were better than the throat lozenges she usually ate.

Mr. Qi's expression was hard to describe.

But it was good, if she could be quiet while eating...

--"Ahhhhhhhh! It's so delicious. I'm eating it."

"..."You can't stop eating, right?

Qi Can's eyelids began to twitch wildly, and his obsidian pupils became darker and darker.

Then, if you fall asleep, will you be quiet?

He raised his hand with a gloomy face, and was about to call his assistant over when a voice suddenly and sadly interrupted him.

Shi Jingjing raised her glass and stood up without knowing when.

"Today is such a good day. As the younger sister of a newlywed, I have something to say to my elder sister. In fact, I have always wanted to communicate with my elder sister over the years, but she has never been willing to open her heart to me, and has never spoken to me."

Everyone in the banquet hall immediately focused their attention. Hearing this, the eyes of those rich daughters looked at Shi Ting even more unfriendly.

Isn't this taciturn person too much? ? Never spoke, is this reasonable?

Shi Ting moistened his throat while looking at the situation, and immediately understood.

Originally, this scene was not in the plot, because Qi Can didn't even look at Shi Ting at the engagement banquet, and the whole rich circle saw that she was a tool for marriage, so it was useless to just mock her behind her back for trying to please Qi Da Shao. But now the plot has been adjusted, and the motivations of other people's behavior have also changed.

This sister of hers had not grown up with her since childhood, and had never paid any attention to Shi Ting after he returned to the rich family. Now she wanted to expose her as a little mute in public.

Shi's parents might have acquiesced, after all, they hoped that Shi Jingjing would marry into the Qi family.

Shi Ting picked up the second bowl of Tremella soup, but now she no longer felt inferior or ashamed. With a goal of 100 million, she was completely relaxed and self-satisfied.

——"Okay, okay, you are here to criticize me, help me mobilize my emotions, reward~~" She deliberately prolonged her voice, and praised with ups and downs and emotions.

Shi Jingjing always paid attention to the expression of Young Master Qi, and indeed saw that his handsome eyebrows were tightly pinched.

She was greatly encouraged, and her voice became gentler: "Sister, even if you hate me for monopolizing the love of our parents for so many years at home, I also want to try my best to bridge the gap between us sisters. Today is your big day, can you say something to me?"

——"Well... Actually, I am willing to, but can you hear me when I say it?"

——"Hello? Hello? Hello?"

——"It doesn't matter, anyway, I will be as still as a mountain. The first person who can't stand her constant chattering must be Qi Can, the god-destroyer."

Qi Can's face became darker and darker.

When he barely resisted, it was enough to listen to the voice of one person.

But Shi Jingjing misunderstood his face. In this case, Shi Ting still didn't say a word. Anyone with a discerning eye should be able to find that something was wrong!

Shi Jingjing struck while the iron was hot, and was about to cry: "Just one sentence, I want your forgiveness!"

——"Stand up, I forgive you."

"Or do you have something to hide, so you have never talked to me for so many years?

——"Don't you know whether I have one or not??"

Qi Can sat there, listening to Shi's one sentence, and his brain slowly cracked again.

Will it end?

Shi Jingjing was so anxious, why didn't Young Master Qi respond? She was about to hint at the literal meaning, and slap "she is dumb" on Qi Can's face!

——"But you don't know this, sister. Qi Can is a psychopath and he has to keep silent. It's a pity that you didn't seize the opportunity, otherwise I would be willing to give you this cannon fodder status. But I have a good idea!"

Shi Jingjing collapsed and planned to say it directly: "Mr. Qi, actually she——"

——"I suggest you poison yourself and make yourself mute."

Qi Can finally couldn't stand it anymore: "Enough! Shut up!!"

Shi Jingjing's voice stopped abruptly, and her face turned pale.

She angered Mr. Qi?

After two seconds of silence.

——"Hahahahaha, he is anxious!"

Qi Can used the last of his rationality not to shout, "You also shut up."
