Lin Xiangyi put down his bowl and chopsticks, looked at Xie Qingxiao and said, "I heard it too."

"Godfather, godmother, Brother Xiao and sister-in-law, it's me," Zhang Pengfei's voice came again.

"Oh, it's Pengfei," Xie's mother quickly put the phone down and ran to the yard, "Pengfei? Why are you here so late at night? Who is this? Xiaolan?"

Mother Xie was talking to Zhang Pengfei, and unexpectedly she saw a girl behind Zhang Pengfei, wrapped tightly, and it turned out to be Shen Xiaolan.

"Auntie, it's me," Shen Xiaolan said embarrassedly as she unwrapped the headscarf that was wrapped around her.

Lin Xiangyi, who was looking out the door of the main hall, heard Shen Xiaolan's voice and walked out: "Xiaolan?"

"Xiangyi," Shen Xiaolan walked in quickly.

Lin Xiangyi saw that it was indeed Shen Xiaolan, and then looked at Zhang Pengfei, very surprised: "Why are you here? Forget it, you come in first."

Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan followed them into the house. Mother Xie took a towel to wipe the dew off their bodies. Xie Qingxiao went to the kitchen again to get two sets of bowls and chopsticks, and scooped out the remaining soup for them to drink.

Shen Xiaolan and Zhang Pengfei were both frozen silly, and only after drinking a bowl of hot soup did they feel alive again.

"Tell me, what's going on? Why did you bring Xiaolan here so late at night?" The Xie family, led by Lin Xiangyi, put on an attitude of trial for Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan, looking at Zhang Pengfei menacingly.

Shen Xiaolan swallowed the last mouthful of soup in her mouth and said hurriedly: "Pengfei is not to blame for this matter. I asked him to send me here."

Actually, it was not, it was Zhang Pengfei who insisted on sending Shen Xiaolan here.

"Child, what is going on?" Xie's mother asked worriedly.

"This is a long story," Zhang Pengfei said with a bitter face, and took the initiative to explain the whole story.

It turns out that this matter is related to He Ting.

Lin Xiangyi and Shen Xiaolan thought that He Ting would not believe Shen Xiaolan again after seeing her, so she should give up.

Unexpectedly, this woman was very vicious. Seeing that Shen Xiaolan was not getting any help, she went straight to the Shen family and slandered Zhang Pengfei with exaggeration.

The Shen family only knew that Zhang Pengfei's father died early, his mother remarried, and he lived alone.

I didn't know that Zhang Pengfei had so many connections with his stepfather's family. Even the reasons why he was kicked out sounded so absurd and outrageous.

The Shen family did not completely believe what He Ting said, but they did not completely disbelieve it either.

They didn't spend much time with Zhang Pengfei and had reservations about his character.

They live in a loving family, and it is unimaginable that anyone would use their own daughter's reputation to destroy the reputation of their stepson.

What's more, it was He Ting who came to tell them about this matter.

When something like this happens, timid girls would try their best to avoid it and wish that such an embarrassing thing would never be mentioned again.

Which girl would tell such a thing in order to frame someone else?

So no matter what the truth of the matter was, the Shen family began to doubt Zhang Pengfei's character and wavered in their idea of ​​marrying Shen Xiaolan to Zhang Pengfei.

When Shen Xiaolan returned home, the family held a family meeting to discuss the matter.

The original intention of this family meeting was to talk to Shen Xiaolan about Zhang Pengfei, but it did not mean that Shen Xiaolan must break up with Zhang Pengfei.

But Shen Xiaolan mistakenly thought that her family made such a big fuss just to force her to break up with Zhang Pengfei.

She completely defended Zhang Pengfei on this matter.

Shen Xiaolan is the only daughter in the family. Both her parents and her brother and sister-in-law love and care about her very much.

Seeing that she was defending Zhang Pengfei so much, he couldn't help but get a little excited during the argument and said a lot of bad things about Zhang Pengfei.

Shen Xiaolan ran away from home in anger and went to find Zhang Pengfei.

She was unwilling to go back at night and even had the extreme idea of ​​staying at Zhang Pengfei's house for one night.

People at that time tended to be conservative, and if a girl stayed at a man's house for one night, it would have a great impact on her reputation.

If Shen Xiaolan really stayed at Zhang Pengfei's house for one night, even if the Shen family disagreed with her being with Zhang Pengfei, they would have to agree in the end for the sake of Shen Xiaolan's reputation.

Although Zhang Pengfei wanted Shen Xiaolan to marry him, he was still rational.

He loves Shen Xiaolan, so naturally he doesn't want Shen Xiaolan's reputation to be damaged.

After trying his best to persuade Shen Xiaolan to go home and she still didn't want to go back, he settled for the next best thing and sent Shen Xiaolan to Xie's house overnight.

"My family is really too much. They don't know the truth of the matter and just want me to break up with Pengfei. My second brother even said that if I don't break up with Pengfei, he will cut off all ties with me!"

"I just don't want to go back. I just want to marry Pengfei. I..."

"Chen Xiaolan, what you did is too outrageous!"

The Xie family frowned when they heard this. Just as Xie's mother was about to say something, a stern rebuke interrupted her words.

Everyone subconsciously turned their heads to look over, and saw Lin Xiangyi's fair and pretty face with a frown on her face, looking at Shen Xiaolan with disapproval.

Xie Qingxiao sat steadily in the chair, not surprised at all, as if he had already expected that Lin Xiangyi would be angry.

"Xiangyi, do you also think that I should listen to my family and break up with Pengfei?" Shen Xiaolan looked at Lin Xiangyi in surprise.

Zhang Pengfei's face also tightened, and he looked at Lin Xiangyi pitifully.

"I don't think you should break up with Pengfei, I just think you shouldn't be so impulsive," Lin Xiangyi said.

"...Am I wrong?" Shen Xiaolan looked at Lin Xiangyi with a depressed face, like a popped balloon.

"You are so wrong," Lin Xiangyi said, "No matter what, your family is doing this because they love you. Asking you not to be with Pengfei may just be a swear word. You actually ran away from home and wanted to stay at Pengfei's house for a night to force your family to let you marry Pengfei? You broke your parents' hearts."

"You've already experienced this once, why are you still so love-brained?"

"...What is love brain?" Shen Xiaolan asked cautiously.

Lin Xiangyi's face tightened: "Love brain means that the mind is full of love and love. It is a pathological attachment behavior."

"..." Shen Xiaolan and Zhang Pengfei were both a little embarrassed.

Xie Qingxiao, who had been pretending to be invisible, brought back a few sweet potatoes and planned to roast them on the fire and give them to Zhang Pengfei and Shen Xiaolan. Hearing this, he paused and glanced at Lin Xiangyi.

Lin Xiangyi didn't realize that she was now very disappointed with Shen Xiaolan.

It would be fine if Shen Xiaolan's parents and family didn't love her, but it was obvious that the Shen family loved Shen Xiaolan very much.

With such a family, Shen Xiaolan actually ran away from home because of Zhang Pengfei?

My brain is really broken.
