Chapter 59 Xiao Feng, you're clearly disgusted with me.

That evening, Jiang Feiyan went to the neighboring village.

When she arrived at the Zhang family home and heard that she had come to visit Zhang Pan'er, the Zhang family members all looked embarrassed.

"I'm sorry, Pan'er won't be receiving guests for the time being," Zhang's mother said, looking haggard.

Since what happened yesterday, the Zhang family has completely lost face in the village.

Pan'er is hiding in her room, refusing to eat or drink, and won't see anyone. Everyone is extremely worried.

They genuinely loved Pan'er; otherwise, they would have beaten and scolded her long ago.

Jiang Feiyan: "Can I go knock on the door and ask myself?"

Zhang's mother nodded: "Okay, then you should give it a try."

Jiang Feiyan walked to Zhang Pan'er's door and knocked a few times, but there was no response from inside.

She said, "Zhang Pan'er, it's me."

Upon hearing her voice, Zhang Pan'er inside the house became furious: "What are you doing in my house? Get out!"

"Are you sure?" Jiang Feiyan curled her lips. "After seeing what happened to Brother Quan, aren't you afraid you'll be next?"

There was a few seconds of silence in the room, then the door was flung open with a whoosh.

Zhang Pan'er appeared at the door with messy hair and red, swollen eyes.

He glared at her and said, "Come in!"

Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow and stepped inside.

Zhang Pan'er closed the door, turned around and looked at her, gritting her teeth and saying, "Jiang Feiyan, what exactly do you want to do!"

Jiang Feiyan found a seat and looked up at her: "I'm here to solve your problem."

"You would be so kind?!" Zhang Pan'er glared at her with resentment.

If she had known that Jiang Feiyan had someone backing her, she wouldn't have been so eager to take revenge.

As a result, Quan Ge was arrested, the two of them fell out, and her reputation was completely ruined. She hated her to death!

Jiang Feiyan said coldly, "Of course I'm not that kind. I'm not stupid. Why would I help someone who once tried to harm me?"

"Then what are you going to do?" Zhang Pan'er's face darkened.

If it weren't for the influence behind this person, she really wouldn't want to communicate with him.

"The problem-solving I mentioned is also beneficial to me," Jiang Feiyan said calmly.

"Your reputation is bad now, and you'll probably face disdain and gossip wherever you go. You might as well find someone to marry; that might lessen the impact."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pan'er immediately became excited: "I will never get married! If I'm going to marry, I'll only marry Brother Xiao!"

Jiang Feiyan raised an eyebrow: "I didn't say you had to marry someone else."

Zhang Pan'er frowned: "What good would it do you if I married Xiao Feng?"

Jiang Feiyan shrugged: "It's nothing. I just can't stand Xiao Feng and don't want Sister Linghui to have anything to do with him anymore."

Once Xiao Feng gets married, they can completely sever ties, which is good.

Hearing this, Zhang Pan'er's guard gradually lowered: "So, what's your plan?"

If she could marry Brother Xiao, that would indeed be a good thing.

This would both deflect some of the rumors and help salvage her reputation.

After all, Brother Xiao was well-liked in the village, and everyone treated him with great courtesy.

But given her current situation, Brother Xiao would probably feel uncomfortable about it.

Moreover, it's unrealistic for them to get married right away without even dating.

Jiang Feiyan smiled slightly: "Then it depends on what you want to do..."

......

That night.

"Pan'er, what do you want with me out so late at night?"

Xiao Feng, with a stern face, continued, "We should avoid meeting alone during this period to prevent it from getting out and having a bad impact."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Pan'er's face turned pale, and tears welled up in her eyes as she said:

"Brother Xiao, even you despise me? You know perfectly well that it's not true!"

"...Don't cry..." Xiao Feng felt bad seeing her tears: "That's not what I meant."

I just think that with all the rumors circulating in the village right now, if they see you with me again, they might start saying all sorts of things.

"But I need you right now," Zhang Pan'er said, grabbing his arm involuntarily, her face full of anticipation.

You like me, don't you?

"How about we start dating and make our relationship public? That way, there might be less gossip."

"No, it's not the right time yet, and I haven't thought about dating for the time being."

Xiao Feng calmly removed her hand and continued, "Besides, there are rules in our educated youth compound that prohibit casual relationships between men and women."

"What do you mean by 'messing around with men and women'?!" Zhang Pan'er felt a pang of pain in her heart at his words, and said with some disappointment:

"We clearly like each other, so was everything before just a lie?"

Or are you simply looking down on me?!

"I don't dislike you... Can you please stop overthinking it?"

Xiao Feng pursed his thin lips and turned his head to one side.

In the past, he was indeed quite willing to be in a public relationship with Pan'er.

But after what happened yesterday, a thorn remained in his heart, and he felt uncomfortable whenever he thought about it.

Although he still liked Zhang Pan'er, his image of her had changed.

They are no longer so innocent and lovely.

He was conflicted about whether or not to continue seeing her, since he owed her a lot.

However, if his family knew about Zhang Pan'er's situation, they definitely wouldn't agree to the two of them being together.

"Pan'er, you're emotionally unstable right now. Let's talk again when you're feeling better."

Regardless, he needed to calm her down first; he didn't want anything to happen at this crucial moment.

Hearing the other party's perfunctory words.

Zhang Pan'er swayed her body twice, and tears silently fell from her eyes.

Brother Xiao definitely... disliked her.

Upon realizing this fact, Zhang Pan'er felt utterly devastated.

Great, she was initially hesitant about whether to do that.

Now it seems there's no need to hesitate.

It seems that all these events that have happened recently were caused by Xiao Feng.

His reputation was ruined, and ultimately it was all thanks to him.

If that's the case, then it's not wrong for him to marry her as compensation, is it?

"Okay, I understand, Brother Xiao." Zhang Pan'er blinked and took the water bottle off her neck.

"Before I left, I secretly poured some of my dad's wine. Have a few sips, and I'll go back after you finish."

"I don't really like drinking." Xiao Feng frowned, feeling a little strange as to why she was making him drink for no reason.

"I actually kept this wine for myself. I originally wanted to give myself courage to jump into the pond."

Zhang Pan'er smiled with tears in her eyes: "But after chatting with you, I don't want to dance anymore, so I'll give you this drink."

"Alright then." Hearing her say that, Xiao Feng was afraid that she would do something foolish again, so he quickly picked up the kettle and gulped down a few mouthfuls.

After finishing the wine in the kettle, he suddenly felt dizzy and his body became hot.

Just then, a sweet, caring voice came from beside me:

"Brother Xiao, you're drunk. Let me help you home..."
