She won't clear her name; she'll throw away all the scum.

Chen Xiangbei had just dodged a slap from the old woman, but missing the slap didn't mean he didn't hold a grudge. Seeing that she was stunned, he pressed his advantage, "Auntie, we're not related, yet you spread rumors about me. Can I guess that the reason your granddaughter can't get married is because you've been spreading rumors about her and her daughter, saying they're bad, have problems, and can't have a son?"

To be fair, Chen Xiangbei has a good memory. She might not even remember clearly what Grandma Yu said to Yu Yan, since no one has ever said anything wrong with her after all these times. But Chen Xiangbei remembered it. The old woman had just said those words, and she must have said them before when she argued with the mother and daughter. That's the truth, and the truth doesn't count as him spreading rumors.

Grandma Yu wanted to refute but didn't know how, because she really had said it, but what she said was also true. "I didn't make up any rumors. Zheng Qianlan just can't have a son."

Chen Xiangbei found a loophole: "Can't have a son? Or is it because you didn't have the opportunity to have a son?"

Grandma Yu: "What exactly do you want to ask? Why are you always meddling in other people's business? My family's affairs are none of your business!"

Chen Xiangbei: "How can it be unrelated? You just tried to slap me. I hold grudges. I'm here perfectly fine, and I have nothing to do with your family. Why did you hit me?"

Grandma Yu: "You were the one who stood up for this brat first."

Chen Xiangbei: "I stood up for others because I'm kind-hearted. I helped those in need and did good deeds. But it's wrong of you to hit someone. If you think I'm wrong, you can refute me and point out where I'm wrong. But you can't say anything, which means you're guilty and in the wrong. You can only try to scare me away by hitting me."

Ultimately, what you did tonight was problematic. Even though I don't understand the law, I can tell with my own eyes that what the three of you did today deserves a labor camp sentence!

Chen Xiangbei talked too much tonight. He never used to get tired no matter how much he talked, but tonight, for some reason, his mouth felt dry.

Perhaps it's because Qiao Shan not only ruined his own affairs, but now he's also getting caught up in other people's messes. If Qiao Shan hadn't insisted on helping this woman, and if she didn't know his mother, he would have left long ago. He'd rather go home and sleep than waste time helping others.

Grandma Yu was furious: "There's an old saying that even an upright official can't settle family disputes, so why do you have to meddle in my family's business?"

Chen Xiangbei rolled his eyes: "That's a common saying, not the law. You're using extreme measures to force your granddaughter to marry and even accepting a dowry in advance. How are you any different from a human trafficker?"

Grandma Yu: "I...you..."

Chen Xiangbei: Stop with the "you" and "me" stuff. Do you have anything else to say? If not, we'll be leaving now and taking your granddaughter home.

Grandma Yu stopped him: "You're not allowed to leave. Who gave you permission to take my granddaughter away? You're the ones who are human traffickers. That's my granddaughter, and she should stay in my house."

After saying that, she rushed over to pull Yu Yan away, but that brat cleverly dodged and Yu Yan's grandmother grabbed Qiao Shan's hand.

Qiao Shan raised his hand, and Yu Nai's hand slowly rose with it. Qiao Shan mustered his courage and said coldly, "Let go of my hand. Do you want to die?"

The voice was soft and flat, and coupled with Qiao Shan's expressionless face and calm eyes, Grandma Yu shuddered, immediately released her hand, and retreated to her previous position.

Could this be a murderer?

Although she was scared, she couldn't back down in front of money. It was a huge dowry. Grandma Yu steadied her heart, which had just been frightened. "Why do you two men insist on taking my granddaughter away? Are you having an affair with her? Does this brat have an improper relationship with either of you?"

"Let me tell you, I'm the one who decided on my granddaughter's marriage. Neither her mother nor she herself could make the decision. If any of you have an affair with her, you'll never have peace in this family."

Grandma Yu threatened fiercely, completely unaware that her threats meant nothing to Chen Xiangbei. As for Qiao Shan, his thoughts were unimportant; he only needed to maintain his indifferent demeanor.

Qiao Shan was flustered and wanted to explain. He didn't want to cause trouble for his family, and he also wanted to say that he had nothing to do with this woman. But Chen Xiangbei had just glanced at him, and he felt it was better for him to remain silent for now.

Chen Xiangbei: "Who are you threatening? How do you want to disturb our peace? Come on, tell me, how do you want to cause trouble? See my brother behind you? He can lift you up and throw you ten meters away with just one arm. Come and make trouble for me. You and your useless son who only hides in the back and doesn't say a word, I don't know if you're even good enough for my brother to punch you."

Grandma Yu couldn't stand it when she heard someone belittling her son. "My son just doesn't bother arguing with you two scoundrels. Do you think he's really afraid of you?"

Chen Xiangbei pointed at him: "Then let him come out and meet my brother."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Yu took another step back and hid behind the short man.

"Tsk." Chen Xiangbei's expression suddenly became extremely irritating, and Grandma Yu, enraged, shoved him.

"Anyway, whether you agree or not, I will not let you take her away today."

The short man chimed in, shouting, "I paid a dowry! What's the difference between this and publicly stealing someone else's wife?"

A gust of wind blew by, and Chen Xiangbei felt a little cold. He wanted to go home as soon as possible and didn't want to talk to these people who couldn't understand anything. "Fine, then you can take it from my brother."

"What right do you have to take her? Do you even know her name? She has nothing to do with you. She has to listen to me and get married now," Grandma Yu retorted.

Chen Xiangbei sighed, "Auntie, can you please stop asking these questions over and over again?"

Grandma Yu: "If you take her away, I will immediately report you to the police and say that you have abducted my granddaughter. You... are just being unreasonable. I am her family."

Yu Yan: "I don't have a milk like you, nor a father like him. I only recognize my mother."

Grandma Yu: "On the household registration book, you are my Yu family's granddaughter. I can decide who you marry. Even if this matter goes to the police, they can't say I have a problem."

Chen Xiangbei: "Your granddaughter found a boyfriend on her own, so there's no point in you making a fuss."

Grandma Yu: "Let's see who dares to marry her. If someone marries her, I'll make a scene and disgust their whole family. If she doesn't get married, I'll go to her mother's compound and cause a scene. Let's see who gives in first. Yan'er, I think you should just agree to the person I've found for you today. I promise you'll have a peaceful life from now on. It's better than not being able to get married later. I'm telling you right now, let's see who dares to marry you."

Chen Xiangbei was furious when he heard this. "You still dare to cause trouble? Do you think we really don't know your granddaughter? See my brother? They're dating. If you're so capable, go and cause trouble at my brother's house."

Qiao Shan was stunned, Yu Yan was stunned, and even Grandma Yu and the other two were stunned.
