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

Chapter 360

Xia Yu'e had already had her leg treated, and seeing that they were going to accompany Chen Xiangbei to see the doctor, she also wanted to go. Old Mrs. Xia wanted her sister to go home and rest as soon as possible, but her sister hadn't been out for a long time, so she agreed and helped her walk slowly.

Chen Xiangbei was walking and chatting with his mother and aunt behind him, but after a while, he noticed that Qiao Shan had stopped walking.

"What's wrong?" Chen Xiangbei rushed to the front again, even though he was injured, he didn't forget to care about this and that.

Qiao Shan pointed to the people in front of him. Chen Xiangbei looked ahead and saw that the five people who had beaten them were sitting on both sides of the corridor. Besides the five of them, there were a few other people he didn't recognize.

Clearly, the other party had also spotted them and was staring intently at them.

Chen Xiangbei recalled the pain of being punched repeatedly. If Qiao Shan couldn't stand up straight now, the few of them wouldn't stand a chance against those thugs.

He turned around and called out "Mom," leaving Grandma Xia completely bewildered.

"Mom, some thugs are causing trouble for us." Chen Xiangbei felt extremely sorry for himself. "I'm already like this, they'll beat me to death later."

Grandma Xia looked in the direction Chen Xiangbei was pointing and saw several guys who didn't look like good people staring at them menacingly.

Grandma Xia: "Then I'll take your aunt and leave first."

Chen Xiangbei: "Mom?"

Grandma Xia: "What are you yelling about? All you do is cause me trouble. When your aunt and I, two old ladies, are sent to our graves by them, one punch each, then you'll be happy without a mother."

Chen Xiangbei: "Oh, no. How can I explain it to you so you can understand? How could you and your aunt possibly fight them head-on?"

Grandma Xia shrugged, "Then I have to outsmart her?"

Chen Xiangbei: "Qiao Shan is a coward, go and talk to him. He could easily take on five people by himself."

Grandma Xia: "I'm not some kind of golden mouth, do you think he'll listen to me? I'd better go now."

Chen Xiangbei immediately grabbed Xia's mother: "Mom, what will I do if you leave? Should I run away too? What if they find out how cowardly our family is, and I've offended them? What if they come to cause you trouble?"

Grandma Xia glared at him fiercely, annoyed to death. Whenever she bumped into those guys, nothing good ever came of it.

Seeing them get up and walk over, Qiao Shan took two steps back, but was then pushed back by Old Lady Xia.

Qiao Shan turned around and said, "Auntie, they're not to be trifled with."

Grandma Xia said in a low voice, "If you back down, all of us will be beaten up here today because of you."

Qiao Shan was immediately conflicted. "Then I'll go up and take the beating by myself. You guys run!"

Grandma Xia: ...She's quite loyal.

"No, you can't let us run away. If we run away, it means we're scared, and they'll become even more rampant. They might even come to our homes to threaten us, which would cause endless trouble," Grandma Xia advised earnestly.

Qiao Shan's eyes reddened. "It's all my fault. If I died, none of us would be in such a difficult situation."

Grandma Xia: "Nonsense! Look at your hard, fleshy body. What are you afraid of? They should be afraid of you. They're just a bunch of good-for-nothings. If it really came down to a fight, you wouldn't stand a chance against them."

Qiao Shan: "But hitting people is wrong. I hit them before. If I get arrested, my mother's health will get even worse."

Grandma Xia was speechless. Why couldn't she understand? "They didn't report it before, and they definitely won't report it again. But if you back down now, they'll definitely cause trouble for your family, maybe even worse than before. Think about your parents, think about your sister. Do you want anything to happen to them?"

Qiao Shan shook his head: "Even if they beat me to death, I won't let anything happen to my parents and sister."

Grandma Xia: "Then I have a way to scare them without hitting them. Do you want to listen to me?"

Qiao Shan nodded.

Grandma Xia pointed at their group and said, "You and Xiang Bei just walked right through them like that, and when you went into the doctor's clinic, you bumped into that short guy hard, did you see that?"

Qiao Shan's face turned pale. "Should I still hit him?"

Grandma Xia: "Just bump into him, then stand there. Since that short guy is shorter than you, look down at him and say, 'What are you looking at? If you keep looking, do you believe I'll go to your house, cut off your dad's head, and use it as a football?' Then you take Xiang Bei into the clinic, slam the door shut, and that's it. Isn't that simple?"

Qiao Shan was swaying slightly. He had never said anything so crazy in his life. He... dared not.

Seeing his useless appearance, Old Mrs. Xia thought that Qiao's parents had really had a hard time raising such a son, who was even more timid than Qiao Yi. "You're not afraid of being beaten, so what are you afraid of? You're going to risk your life, so what's wrong with going to try? Go quickly, or I'll scold you."

Qiao Shan moved slowly and hesitantly, like a startled bird. Old Mrs. Xia pushed him from behind and said, "Straighten your back and walk with big strides. Don't act like you have no guts."

Chen Xiangbei was annoyed and supported himself on his back with one hand. "Hurry up. My mom hits really hard, and you can't even argue with her. It's such a loss."

Qiao Shan straightened his back and strode towards the thugs, muttering to himself.

"What are you looking at? You're kicking your dad's head like a ball."

"What are you looking at? You're kicking your dad's head like a ball."

"What are you looking at...?"

Qiao Shan bumped into the short man as he had hoped. Because he was too nervous, he used a little too much force, and the short man was caught off guard and fell to the ground. Qiao Shan panicked for a moment, but looked down at him and said in a low voice, "What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll go to your house and pull your dad's head off and use it as a ball to kick around."

The short man was stunned. Qiao Shan, who was usually an honest man, had red eyes and was speaking in a low but calm voice, threatening him. Not only did he not feel guilty for knocking him down, but he also... he even said he would pull his father's head off and use it as a ball. He's gone mad, really mad.

The short guy finally believed what his other brothers had said when they returned in a panic: Qiao Shan really was going to kill someone.

The other thugs surrounded him and helped him up. No one dared to meet Qiao Shan's gaze; they just muttered amongst themselves.

"How could you hit someone?"

"They knocked someone down and then said those kinds of things, how scary."

"At least apologize, it's so...so rude."

Qiao Shan suddenly raised his hand, and the thugs, thinking he was about to hit someone, scattered immediately. "Qiao Shan, you...you just wait."

Then, the group stopped seeing a doctor and ran away in a panic.

Qiao Shan, who was left standing there, scratched his face, looking bewildered; it was a little itchy.

Chen Xiangbei was laughing so hard he almost died. A bunch of thugs saying someone was rude, hahaha, it felt like they weren't here for orthopedics, but for psychiatry.

How envious! He can scare away a group of people without even lifting a finger. Chen Xiangbei made up his mind to be as strong as Qiao Shan in the future.

Qiao Shan ran up to Grandma Xia again, "Auntie, they told me to wait. Are they going to cause me trouble again? This won't do, this won't do. What should I do?"

Grandma Xia: ...You'll know how to do it after fighting with her a few times. You can treat these kinds of words as bullshit. How could they possibly dare to come back?
