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

Chapter 519

Chen Xiangbei didn't expect that after this incident, Pan Mei would often come to visit him.

"Comrade Pan Mei, could you please stop following me? I have important business to attend to," Chen Xiangbei said helplessly.

Pan Mei seemed oblivious to Chen Xiangbei's impatient tone and continued, "Xiangbei, we'll be graduating in a few months. Have you found a job yet?"

Chen Xiangbei: What does it matter to you whether I find it or not?

Pan Mei: "I haven't found anyone. My dad said that if I can't find anyone, I should find someone to marry so I won't have to go to the countryside."

Chen Xiangbei: "So what do you want to do? Do you want me to introduce you to someone?"

Pan Mei lowered her head shyly, "Xiang Bei, didn't you also not find a job?"

Chen Xiangbei understood, and in fright, he climbed over the wall and ran away into someone else's yard.

Recently, even Grandma Xia has become aware of how clingy Pan Mei has been to him. Whether it's the Pan Mei from the past life or the Pan Mei who hasn't done anything yet in this life, Grandma Xia doesn't like either of them.

Leaving aside her past life, in this life, Pan Mei's elders are so wicked, and Pan Mei herself isn't very discerning either. Just looking at her family, you can tell there's a lot of trouble in her family.

Fearing that Chen Xiangbei might not be thinking clearly and would end up hanging out with her again, Grandma Xia found a time to ask him for his opinion privately. Chen Xiangbei was already annoyed with her, and hearing Grandma Xia ask him about his thoughts on Pan Mei only made him more annoyed.

Without even thinking, he said, "Mom, can you please stop trying to set me up with all sorts of people, good or bad? I, Chen Xiangbei, have such a good reputation among all the aunties and grandmas, I don't have to worry about finding a wife at all, okay? I don't like Pan Mei's personality at all. She's been fooled by her father like this and is still listening to him. Isn't someone like that just dragging me down?"

The boy spoke with absolute certainty, as if he wasn't the same man who listened to his wife in his past life. Old Mrs. Xia was curious about what kind of person he liked now. "Third son, then tell me, what kind of person do you like?"

Chen Xiangbei was confused for a moment, then said, "Kind and upright, speaks softly, has long, black hair, dimples when she smiles, her family is very kind, considerate of my feelings, and rarely swears..."

The more Grandma Xia listened, the more uneasy she felt. "Doesn't he need to have a job, a harmonious family, a strong older brother who is a bit older than you, and preferably with the surname Qiao?"

Enraged, Chen Xiangbei shouted, "Mom, what are you saying? I'm not that kind of person!"

Grandma Xia spoke even louder than him, "Aside from your second sister-in-law, the only other family member in our neighborhood who is very nice is Qiao Yi. She also has dimples and long hair. Who else could it be but Qiao Yi?"

Chen Xiangbei: "It's not her, it's not her. I read it in a comic book, it's definitely not her."

He screamed and ran away, while Xia Yu'e outside laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight. Xiang Bei was such a funny kid.

After laughing, Grandma Xia became worried. "Sister, what if the third son is really serious? Do you think Qiao Yi will agree?"

Xia Yu'e: "He's still too young to understand, so don't worry about him. Just a few nights ago, I saw him secretly reading a comic book with a flashlight on while he was sleeping on the living room table. He's just a kid. It's normal for him to have feelings for a gentle older sister like Qiao Yi."

Grandma Xia nodded. "That's true. Last time he brought me a raw chicken leg from who-knows-who, asking me to cook it for him. That's all he ever thinks about. There's really no need for him to worry about it now."

But just a few days later, Old Lady Xia was proven wrong. On her way home, she saw her third son, Qiao Yi, and Pan Mei arguing in an alley.

Chen Xiangbei was really annoyed by Pan Mei. He tried his best to avoid her, but she was like a ghost that would appear out of nowhere and start talking to him.

Chen Xiangbei gritted his teeth in hatred, wondering who had leaked his whereabouts.

He came to the Qiao family specifically to see Qiao Yi today. He had recently made some money and wanted to treat his sister Qiao Yi to a meal.

When he was kicked out by Old Chen, he shamelessly mooched several meals off her, so every time he made money later, he would want to treat her to a meal.

Sister Qiao Yi is sometimes very difficult to invite. She may not necessarily come along. Most of the time, she will refuse and will even tell him to save some money for himself.

This time, after finally getting the other party to agree to have dinner with me, I ran into this unlucky guy.

Chen Xiangbei was so angry that his face almost puffed up. "Pan Mei, can't you find something to do yourself? Don't always follow me around."

Pan Mei was also very angry. She had almost confessed her feelings to Chen Xiangbei last time, but he ran away without saying a word. Pan Mei unilaterally assumed that he was shy, so the two of them are now in the dating stage.

But today, when she went to find Chen Xiangbei, she discovered that he had brought a female comrade out to play, chatting and laughing. She secretly followed behind and even heard Chen Xiangbei say that he was going to treat this woman to dinner.

Pan Mei felt that even as his girlfriend, she had never been treated to a meal by him, so where did this woman come from? "Chen Xiangbei, who is she?"

Chen Xiangbei's temples throbbed with pain. "Who do you think you are? Why are you interfering so much? What business is it of yours who she is?"

Pan Mei was furious: "I'm your boyfriend, who else could I be? Can't I control you? You're messing around with your relationships."

Chen Xiangbei's head throbbed with pain. "When did I become your girlfriend? Are you crazy? If you're sick, go see a doctor. Don't try to extort money from me."

He's not like his second brother, who's been acting recklessly. Chen Xiangbei is a good kid with impeccable family background, and no one can frame him.

Pan Mei: "I told you last time that I was going to get married if I didn't go to the countryside, and you didn't reject me. Of course we're dating now."

Chen Xiangbei: "When did you say you wanted to marry me? You didn't even tell me how I rejected you. That day you told me you weren't going to the countryside, and I didn't even want to talk to you because I felt that whether you went to the countryside or not had nothing to do with me. I even said I would introduce you to someone. Are you delusional?"

Pan Mei: "Stop being stubborn. Is it because of this woman that you want to distance yourself from me?"

Chen Xiangbei was at his wits' end. "What do I have to do with you? Let me be clear, I don't want to be in a relationship right now, and even if I were, it would never be you. With your father, anyone would run away from him. He's insane."

He tried to pull Qiao Yi away, but Pan Mei wouldn't let it go and rushed over to try and pull Qiao Yi's hair and hit her.

To Grandma Xia's astonishment, Chen Xiangbei and Pan Mei started fighting.

Qiao Yi awkwardly tried to mediate the fight, but when she looked up, she saw the suspicious-looking Old Lady Xia and shouted, "Master, please help persuade them!"

"That poor child," Old Mrs. Xia reluctantly stepped out from the corner.

"What are you doing? If you keep hitting us, you'll all end up in the police station for a lesson."

She was hiding nearby, genuinely surprised that Chen Xiangbei would get into a fight with a woman.
