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

Chen Xiangbei and Pan Mei had another argument.

Jiang Wenhua realized this wouldn't work; all his previous words had been wasted. He stepped back to Old Lady Xia's side and whispered, "I have an idea, Old Lady Xia, listen to it."

Grandma Xia: "Go ahead."

Jiang Wenhua: "I don't know which book wrote that you have to deal with hooligans in a hooligan way, but this woman is mentally ill. You can communicate with hooligans, but you can't communicate with her. She finally listened to what I was saying, but after a few words... sigh... she went back to her old ways."

He was also very tired, so this method was no longer effective.

Grandma Xia: "So what idea did you come up with?"

Jiang Wenhua: "Our goal has changed now. Just now we wanted to drive her away and make her give up this idea, but now we can only protect your reputation. Let her do whatever she wants. Let everyone believe that you and Xiang Bei are the victims."

Not long after he finished speaking, just as Grandma Xia nodded and was about to ask how to operate, Chen Xiangbei and Pan Mei started fighting again.

The onlookers became even more excited and shouted, "Go ahead and fight! Good for them!"

Old Mrs. Xia said with a dark face, "What are you fighting for? Quickly pull them apart. Third son, get over here."

Chen Xiangbei returned angrily, "Mom, she really can't understand human language."

Jiang Wenhua was still trying to explain his method, but Grandma Xia waved her hand and said softly, "Don't use your method unless absolutely necessary. I just thought of a slightly bad idea."

Jiang Wenhua and Chen Xiangbei simultaneously leaned closer to her, both showing great interest. "What mischievous idea?"

Now, Old Mrs. Xia was a little embarrassed to say it. Oh dear, how could she, as an upright women's director of a textile factory, come up with such a bad idea? Old Mrs. Xia had some mental burdens after becoming this leader.

But she still said it hesitantly, "The father that Pan Mei always talks about is Pan Li from the food factory. Pan Mei is only causing trouble here because of him, so let's grab Pan Mei and go to his place to cause trouble. Let's see who loses face in the end. We can't just be the ones who suffer, can we?"

Jiang Wenhua silently gave a thumbs up.

As expected, he wasn't as cunning as Old Xia; he easily came up with a way to strike at the heart of the problem. No wonder she became a leader; she's quite capable.

"Third son, what will you do if that old man Pan Li insists that you and his daughter are dating when we go to the food factory later?" Grandma Xia asked.

Chen Xiangbei gritted his teeth, "Then I'll take him down with me."

Grandma Xia: "Then you should just marry Pan Mei. Your life is more important."

Chen Xiangbei was dejected and said pitifully, "I don't want to."

Grandma Xia: "Don't let him lead you by the nose. Just make him produce the evidence, otherwise anyone can use this to frame you."

Chen Xiangbei seemed to be deep in thought.

Jiang Wenhua smiled and said, "Then I'll talk to the head of the security department and find someone to help us arrest Pan Mei."

Grandma Xia pretended to be serious, "First, we'll reason with her and get her to come with us willingly."

Jiang Wenhua: "Don't worry, Lao Xia, it's guaranteed to be voluntary."

Immediately afterwards, Grandma Xia saw Jiang Wenhua go to the security department and say a few words. Then a very strong young man came out, who was comparable to Qiao Shan.

He flexed the large muscles on his arms, clenched his fists, and said fiercely, "Shut up, lady. Since you put it that way, let's go to Comrade Pan Li's place at your food factory and have a talk. Are you coming with us yourself, or should I have someone drag you away?"

After being patiently persuaded by the security personnel, Pan Mei said she was very willing to go with them to the food factory to find her father.

The group quickly arrived at the entrance of the food factory. Grandma Xia showed her identification and asked to find Director Shao and Pan Li.

When we visited Pan Mei's grandparents' house last time, Director Shao was there. Grandma Xia could roughly guess that Pan Li was the one who held a grudge against her and Chen Xiangbei for exposing him in front of Pan Mei, making him the first person to pay alimony.

Let's have Director Shao come over; at least he'll be someone we know.

Sure enough, Director Shao came out first. After the two greeted each other, she was pulled aside by Old Lady Xia and whispered to her. With a surprised expression and a subtle scrutiny on her face, Pan Mei looked somewhat displeased.

Although she was very relaxed at the textile factory and didn't care about her reputation, Pan Mei felt somewhat embarrassed at her father's food factory for some reason. Perhaps it was because she had been there often since she was a child and many people there knew her well.

Pan Mei kept her head down, so honest that Jiang Wenhua felt she wasn't a real person anymore.

"Why did you stop shouting?" Jiang Wenhua asked.

Pan Mei glanced at him, then sat down on the ground and began to cry again.

Jiang Wenhua grinned, and under Chen Xiangbei's accusing gaze, lightly slapped his own mouth. How could he be so shameless?

A moment later, Pan Li also came out. When he saw the group of people standing at the door, his heart skipped a beat, and he quickly came up with his words.

He had barely come out when, before anyone else could speak, he preemptively said, "Amei, why are you sitting on the ground? Who bullied you? Tell Dad, and Dad will stand up for you."

Pan Mei tearfully repeated what she had just said at the textile factory, then reached out and grabbed Chen Xiangbei's trouser leg, saying, "Xiangbei, my dad's here. Tell me, are we dating?"

Chen Xiangbei frantically tugged at his trouser leg. Why did they have to touch him? He wanted to prove his innocence too! "Let go! Let go of me!"

Pan Li was furious. "Chen Xiangbei, you've been dating my daughter, and this is how you behave? Are you even a man?"

Chen Xiangbei: "How can you talk nonsense like this, old man? When did I start dating her? Do you have any proof?"

Pan Li: "If you two weren't dating, why would my daughter be like this?"

Seeing the curious glances from the workers passing by the food factory, Chen Xiangbei felt utterly wronged. "I didn't! I really didn't date her! She's acting like this because she's mentally ill. You and your daughter are both obsessed with men!"

Pan Li: "You're saying my daughter is mentally ill? She is ill, she's mentally ill because she loves you so much."

Chen Xiangbei wished he could die to prove that the father and daughter were going too far in clinging to him.

Chen Xiangbei's face turned fierce. Without hesitation, he stepped forward and grabbed Pan Li's wrist, suppressing his nausea as he rested his head on Pan Li's shoulder. "Old Pan, I'm sick too. I don't accept your daughter because I'm crazy for loving you."

Grandma Xia had just wanted to join in the cursing, but before she could even get started, Chen Xiangbei stunned everyone present in an extremely disgusting way.

Jiang Wenhua stretched his neck and rubbed his eyes, as if he thought he was hallucinating.

Pan Mei, who was sitting on the ground, stopped crying and stared blankly at her father and Chen Xiangbei sticking together.

Passersby gasped in shock.
