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

Chapter 351

Grandma Xia was quite embarrassed. After patting the man's clothes, she apologized.

"I really didn't know it was the two of you, otherwise I would have said hello already. I just saw two people arguing by the river, so I came to check," said Old Mrs. Xia. She was really afraid that the other party would misunderstand that she was deliberately sneaking around to laugh at them, but that wasn't the case at all. As she got older, she couldn't see people very well when it got dark, especially when they were still some distance away.

Mr. Tang said it was nothing and tried to pull Mrs. Tang back home. He felt uncomfortable seeing anyone from Chen Xiangnan's side right now. Tang Jiao hadn't decided whether to stay with Chen Xiangnan yet, and he didn't want to have any conflict with Jiao Jiao's mother-in-law, so it was better to stay away.

Their whole family is sharp-tongued, and when the time comes, he and his wife, who are not good with words, will be unable to win the argument and will end up getting angry.

But Tang's mother didn't want to leave. She had a lot of complaints she wanted to give to Old Mrs. Xia and Old Mr. Chen. Their daughter had married Chen Xiangnan, but he was still having affairs outside. What did he think of Jiaojiao? Just thinking about it made Tang's mother's anger rise.

“Xiang Nan’s mother, now that I’ve run into you here tonight, there are some things I really have to say.”

Grandma Xia straightened up. Here it comes, here it comes. She's given birth to a troublesome child. She was mentally prepared for this. Putting herself in Chen Xianghong's shoes, even if she was still angry and disappointed in her daughter, she would also help Tang's mother question the other party, and might even be more agitated than Tang.

Tang's parents are indeed well-mannered people; they haven't shown any intention of resorting to violence yet, but are only trying to reason with her and vent their anger.

"What exactly does Xiang Nan mean? Do you know he's been having an affair? Our Jiaojiao is such a nice girl, she's never done anything to betray him. Her father and I have treated him quite well since they got married. Apart from some disagreements between her father and me before the marriage, we've always treated him like our own son. How could he be so heartless as to do something like this?"

Grandma Xia: "Yes, yes, he really is a scoundrel."

Tang's mother: "Even though you're divorced from Lao Chen, you're still his biological mother. You can't just brush us off like this. Jiao Jiao's father and I aren't even dead yet, and he dares to bully us like this. You're his biological mother, aren't you going to do anything about it? Aren't you going to give us an explanation?"

Grandma Xia: "I'm divorced now, and he's not just my child anymore. He might not even want to acknowledge me anymore. He's only come to see me once in all the days I've been out of the house. He might not listen to me..."

Tang's mother interrupted her, feeling that since Old Mrs. Xia hadn't started cursing, it meant she knew they were in the wrong and there was still room for negotiation. "Xiang Nan's mother, do you think we should seek an explanation from Old Chen, and not from you?"

Grandma Xia: "No, but have you looked for him?"

Tang's mother: "I'll go tomorrow, but I still want to know what your attitude is? Chen Xiangnan is your son. You can't just give birth to him and then ignore him, letting him harm others, can you?"

Grandma Xia sighed. Before today, her attitude would have been to ignore it completely, but the conversation between her sister and her sister was still fresh in her mind, and she felt like punching someone.

Seeing Tang's mother so distressed over her daughter, Old Mrs. Xia suddenly began to reflect on herself. Yes, she had given birth to a bad child who had ruined someone else's perfectly good daughter. Although Tang Jiao had willingly married Chen Xiangnan, even somewhat willingly giving herself to him, she was still the victim in this situation. She couldn't just blame her for being a victim and forget the truly bad one.

That damned brat!

Grandma Xia suddenly grabbed Tang's mother's arm, "Jiaojiao's mom, are they back at the Chen family's house or at your house?"

Tang's mother was puzzled. "Jiaojiao was in a bad mood today, and she's pregnant, so I let them stay at our house."

Grandma Xia: "Let's go to your house."

Tang's mother: "Huh?"

Tang's father came out on his bicycle, but just as he was about to get on, Grandma Xia snatched it away, saying, "Jiaojiao's mom, get on, let Jiaojiao's dad walk back. I can't wait any longer."

Tang's mother sat on the back of Grandma Xia's seat. When she got off, her legs were shaking a little, and she felt like her buttocks weren't even her own anymore. This old lady was terrifying.

Tang's father watched as Old Mrs. Xia and his wife disappeared from his sight in the blink of an eye.

Can't wait? Can't wait for what?

Mr. Tang felt his eyes twitching; it was an ominous premonition!

The moment Tang's mother opened the door, Grandma Xia squeezed in and saw Chen Xiangnan sitting next to Tang Jiao, whispering something to her. Tang Jiao gave him a perfunctory reply.

When Chen Xiangnan saw Old Lady Xia enter in a menacing manner, her face flushed red from riding her bicycle in the wind, he sensed something was wrong.

Normally, his mother wouldn't come to the Tang family at this time, but she's here now, with Tang's mother standing behind her, leaning against the wall. The only possibility is that she's here to cause him trouble.

Although Tang's parents didn't say anything, Chen Xiangnan could tell from their expressions that they probably knew about the good things he had done, and he was already feeling flustered.

When Grandma Xia arrived, Chen Xiangnan knew that Tang's parents had probably gone out after dinner to complain to her.

But her mother has already left the Chen family. Does she still want to interfere in his affairs? Judging from her previous attitude, she didn't seem to want to have anything to do with them anymore. Why would she come back?

Before she could even think about it, the familiar slap from Old Mrs. Xia came flying over.

Chen Xiangnan didn't dodge. He felt this was a good opportunity. At worst, he would get a slap in the face from his mother, then sincerely apologize and let the Tang family, Tang's parents, see his determination to admit his mistake.

"Mom." Chen Xiangnan received a solid slap.

Tang Jiao immediately stood up, clutching her stomach, and called out, "Mom."

Grandma Xia took a deep breath and said to Tang Jiao, "Good child, stand further away."

Tang Jiao, at a loss, moved a few steps to the side.

Old Mrs. Xia pointed at Chen Xiangnan and started cursing.

"Second brother, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"You don't want your wife anymore, and you don't want your kids either, right?"

"You just like messing around with those wild women outside?"

Chen Xiangnan retorted, "Mom, don't talk nonsense, I didn't do anything wrong."

Grandma Xia said "Oh," and then added, "Accompanying someone to check their watch, getting that close to them doesn't count as messing around, right?"

Chen Xiangnan felt that he really hadn't messed around this time. He had just started to do something when his mother and third brother caught him. How could he possibly mess around?

If this is considered promiscuity, does that mean that talking to any woman counts as promiscuity? What will happen to his job then?

Chen Xiangnan: "This is just normal business dealings. I'm only doing this because of my superiors."

Seeing that Chen Xiangnan didn't speak, Old Lady Xia knew what he meant. The second son believed that as long as no physical relationship had occurred, it wasn't considered promiscuity.

Grandma Xia said, "Since it's not considered promiscuity, then tomorrow I'll introduce Jiaojiao to a promising young man, and have him accompany her around. One young man tomorrow, another the day after—I guarantee Jiaojiao will be happy every day, what do you say?"

Chen Xiangnan's face immediately darkened. He couldn't stand the thought of that scene. How was this any different from a mother encouraging her daughter-in-law to cheat on her son?

"How does this work?"
