Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 60 - 59 Negotiation

Jin Yu glanced at Wu Lan, “What exactly did you tell me?”

Jin Yu was angry, very angry, his handsome face emanating a chill.

Only Wu Lan dared to say a few more words; the others didn’t dare to join in.

Xu Niannian stayed silent out of anger.

Yang Cuihua was silent too, not because she didn’t dare to speak but because she wanted to see what the other party would do.

She recognized Jin Yu as the young man who had stayed over at her house that day.

As for Jin Yu’s various qualifications, Yang Cuihua was naturally quite satisfied.

But, the matter of him bullying her daughter couldn’t just be left at that.

She was curious to see how this man would solve the problem of shredding her daughter’s reputation.

The best outcome would surely be marriage.

If Ding Guihua weren’t there, she would’ve rushed up and scratched at him first before saying anything else; after all, even if they couldn’t marry, it wouldn’t affect her daughter’s reputation.

But with fellow townsfolk like Ding Guihua present, the best outcome now would be for the man to be willing to marry her daughter.

Since he hadn’t made a statement yet, she wasn’t in a position to settle scores first.

Otherwise, if they became family, her daughter would be the one to suffer in the future.

Wu Lan, unaware of Jin Yu’s suspicion that Xu Niannian was a spy, felt even more troubled by her son’s attitude.

“Speak properly!

You have to give us an explanation today.

You almost…

anyhow, I’ve said my piece.

If you don’t marry Niannian, it goes against heaven’s will, neither your mother nor your father will agree to it.”

Wu Lan knew that her son had ultimately not succeeded, but it had been a close call.

This responsibility, her son must bear.

“I don’t want to marry him,” Xu Niannian suddenly asserted, a look of disgust towards Jin Yu in her eyes.

Only the devil knows what schemes their family held.

Yang Cuihua was startled and hastily grasped the agitated Xu Niannian, her voice full of affection, “My dear Baby Nian, your mother is here, no one can bully you.”

If it weren’t for Yang Cuihua’s last-minute worry and insistence on coming back to check, her daughter might have already been harmed.

Actually, Xu Niannian wasn’t that heartbroken, as ultimately nothing had happened, but being treated this way made her feel uncomfortable.

Why should he have the right to treat her like this time and again?

Did she truly deserve to be bullied by him?

She didn’t want to marry such a bastard.

Reputation be damned.

Let it go to hell.

Better to lose it than to marry such a beast.

She’d rather lose her reputation.

Jin Yu raised an eyebrow, glancing at Xu Niannian, whose eyes were rimmed with red, and with an air of irritation, ran his fingers through his hair.

He stood and approached her, saying coldly, “We need to talk.”

“I have nothing to discuss with you,” Xu Niannian replied angrily.

Wu Lan and Yang Cuihua were both extremely anxious.

Yang Cuihua swiftly took hold of Xu Niannian, “Baby Nian, can you please talk it out with him?”

Yang Cuihua’s eyes held genuine worry, but her way of thinking was different from a modern person like Xu Niannian.

She believed that since her daughter’s body was seen by a man and it was witnessed by fellow townspeople, the best option for her daughter now was to marry Jin Yu.

Xu Niannian didn’t want to worry Yang Cuihua, so she helplessly said, “Fine, just wait here for me.”

After speaking, Xu Niannian headed for the door first, with Jin Yu following behind.

After closing the door, before Jin Yu said anything, Xu Niannian raised her hand and slapped Jin Yu across the face.

This time, Jin Yu didn’t dodge.

Xu Niannian looked at him angrily, “I’m warning you, I won’t marry you.

Don’t even hope that I’ll marry you.

Nothing happened between us, and I don’t need you to take responsibility.”

Jin Yu lifted his eyelids, ignoring the burning pain on his face.

He hadn’t expected it to be a misunderstanding.

He was also aware of how important reputation is to an unmarried girl.

By the accent, there was a woman in the house who was from the same township as her mother.

In that situation earlier, he hadn’t had the time to think about what he was wearing, let alone expect to tear her clothes.

Jin Yu had no one he liked; for him, it made no difference whom he married.

But now the situation didn’t allow for it, as he had already completely harmed another girl and could only marry that girl.

Yet, he hadn’t expected to find himself in the situation that had unfolded today.

There just wasn’t a solution that could satisfy both sides.

The only option was to pretend to be engaged for now, and then go look for that girl.

Given a year, if he found her, he could have her take the initiative to break off the engagement and push all the blame onto him.

That way, even if others gossiped, they would only speculate there was something wrong with him, not blame her.

Seeing Xu Niannian’s furious expression, Jin Yu put his hands on his hips and grinned, “You might not care about your reputation, but your mom has to care.

The woman in the flowery dress inside, she is from your village, isn’t she?”

The only person inside wearing a flowery dress was Ding Guihua.

Xu Niannian knew he spoke the truth; she was unclear about what kind of mouth Ding Guihua had, but it certainly wasn’t very tight-lipped.

Once word spread, she might not care about gossip, but her family undoubtedly would.

Yang Cuihua was a hot-tempered woman, but she cared most about her daughter.

The thought of others fabricating stories about her would surely be upsetting.

But for her to marry this beast was not an option either.

“What do you want?” Xu Niannian asked warily.

Jin Yu sighed, looking at Xu Niannian’s charming face, “Don’t worry, I don’t want to marry you either.

There’s someone else I want to marry.”

“So what are you suggesting?” Xu Niannian asked with a frown.

Jin Yu looked up at the gloomy sky, which reflected his mood at that moment.

“Pretend engagement.

A year from now, you can find any reason to break off the engagement and put the blame on me.

That way, your reputation won’t suffer too much.”

It was certainly better than rumors of her being violated and the violator not wanting her either.

Although he hadn’t done anything to this woman, now that the situation had come to this, rumors would expand and distort with each retelling.

Who knew what they would turn into?

Yet Xu Niannian was watching him suspiciously, “What are you plotting?”

With her wary look, Jin Yu really wanted to curse.

“I’ve told you, there’s someone I want to marry, so you don’t need to suffer from any persecution complex or narcissism.

My identity is special, and the only reason this happened was because I suspected your identity.

Why would you run so fast if there was nothing wrong?”

His obvious impatience made Xu Niannian temporarily believe that he didn’t want to marry her.
