"There's nothing to consider." Jiang Xinya spoke the moment Xu Ying turned around, with a "go all in" attitude. "Anyway, once I've brought you all here, things have gotten out of control. Now I've gotten nothing, and I'm not willing to give up. If I don't have money, the magazine won't let me off the hook either. I have no way out now, so I might as well take a gamble. Just tell me what you want to do."
Seeing Jiang Xinya's desperate gamble, Xu Ying was actually a little excited.
She wanted to be rich and carefree. Although this method was a bit underhanded and immoral, Xu Ying was pregnant, and that was true. So even if something unexpected happened, Xu Ying wasn't afraid of anything.
After the two reached an agreement, they went to find the old lady. Of course, they had to do it while Xu Xiaoyue was sleeping, otherwise it would be terrible if Xu Xiaoyue found out.
To avoid worrying Ye Qing, Xu Xiaoyue would call him from time to time. Ye Qing was naturally happy to receive Xu Xiaoyue's calls, but he still had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if something was wrong.
But if you ask what's going on, you don't know exactly what it is for the time being.
Although Ye Qing didn't tell Xi Quan about Xu Xiaoyue at first, Xi Quan was with Ye Qing every day, so how could he not see that Ye Qing was distracted? So he asked Ye Qing about it.
Ye Qing then shared her doubts with Xi Quan.
Upon hearing what Ye Qing said, Xi Quan's expression became very serious when Ye Qing wasn't paying attention. However, after Ye Qing finished speaking, he gently comforted her, saying that Ye Qing was overthinking things and shouldn't worry unnecessarily.
With Xi Quan's comfort, Ye Qing began to wonder if she was being a bit of an overreacter.
After calming Ye Qing down, Xi Quan took the opportunity to ask Zhang Sao about the situation Ye Qing had described.
Aunt Zhang then told Xi Quan what Liu Yuliang had said on the phone that day. After she finished speaking, Aunt Zhang muttered to herself, "I think Xu Xiaoyue should be fine. Her mother-in-law is a bit difficult, but she cares about her grandson. The baby in Xu Xiaoyue's belly is her talisman. Before we know whether the baby is a boy or a girl, her mother-in-law won't do anything to Xu Xiaoyue."
Xi Quan raised an eyebrow after hearing what Zhang Sao said.
Although knowing that other women are pregnant might give people a bad impression, Ye Qing and Xu Xiaoyue have a good relationship, and Ye Qing often talks to Xi Quan about it. After Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law made such a big scene at the hospital, Ye Qing talked to Xi Quan a lot about it after they got back.
Xi Quan then learned that when Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law made a scene at the hospital, Xu Xiaoyue was less than three months pregnant. Even if the hospital were willing to do a fetal sex determination, they wouldn't be able to tell whether it was a boy or a girl.
Thinking back to when the incident at the hospital happened, Xi Quan roughly calculated that Xu Xiaoyue was less than three months pregnant now, so Liu Yuliang's mother couldn't possibly know the baby's gender. Therefore, according to Zhang Sao, Xu Xiaoyue should be fine.
However, thinking about what Xi Yue and Ye Qing had said about Jiang Xinya, and what Ye Qing herself had said about Xu Ying, Xi Quan felt that he couldn't be too careless about this matter.
So Xi Quan went to find Liu Yuliang.
Liu Yuliang had been busy looking for his mother these past few days. When he received Xi Quan's call, he was still outside, but because Xi Quan was a big boss, he didn't dare to delay and hurriedly went to see Xi Quan.
When Liu Yuliang rushed to the place he had arranged to meet Xi Quan, Xi Quan was already there.
"I'm sorry I'm late," Liu Yuliang said apologetically first.
Xi Quan paused for a moment and then asked, "Have you found your mother?"
"Don't even mention it, I'm really having a terrible headache. If she weren't my own mother, I really..." Liu Yuliang wasn't surprised that Xi Quan knew about this, because he had asked Ye Qing about it before.
Xi Quan was silent for a moment before asking, "Have you been in contact with Xu Xiaoyue recently?"
"No, I can't find her either. But knowing my mom's personality, I think she's probably with Xiaoyue. Xiaoyue is less than three months pregnant, and my mom can't possibly know the baby's gender. So, although I'm worried, I don't think my mom will do anything to Xiaoyue. So, the most important thing right now is to find my mom. If I find my mom, I'll find Xiaoyue." Although Liu Yuliang was anxious, his thoughts were clear.
The panic he felt when Xu Xiaoyue disappeared was gone. His father also bought a ticket to Nancheng, and the two of them analyzed the situation carefully.
The more Liu Yuliang said this, the more suspicious Xi Quan became. Logically, this matter had nothing to do with him, but because it involved Xu Xiaoyue, and Ye Qing cared a lot about Xu Xiaoyue, he was very anxious about this matter every day. For Ye Qing's sake, Xi Quan also needed to know what was going on so that he could comfort Ye Qing and not expose the truth.
After a moment, Xi Quan placed his hands on the table with his fingers tapping the surface unconsciously, and then slowly said, "I saw Xu Xiaoyue's grandparents and younger brother on the road yesterday. I didn't say hello because there were clients in the car and it was a red light."
Upon hearing Xi Quan's words, Liu Yuliang glanced at him but didn't pay much attention, because he still didn't understand what Xi Quan meant.
Soon after, Xi Quan added, "But when Xu Xiaoyue called Ye Qing, she said she had gone on a trip with her grandparents."
Liu Yuliang suddenly looked up at Xi Quan, extremely surprised.
At first, Liu Yuliang had considered asking his grandparents, but since there were still discussions about Xu Xiaoyue and his mother's relationship in the news, Liu Yuliang didn't know if his grandparents knew, so he didn't dare to bother them. If they didn't know, asking would be letting the cat out of the bag and making them worry.
However, Xi Quan's words made Liu Yuliang realize something.
Xi Quan said calmly, "I don't think things are as simple as you think. If Xu Xiaoyue is with your mother, why would Xiaoyue hide it from Ye Qing? Just like you said, although your mother has many opinions about Xu Xiaoyue, now that Xu Xiaoyue is pregnant with your child, your mother won't do anything to Xu Xiaoyue. It's not that hard to imagine."
Liu Yuliang was already extremely anxious, but now he was even more panicked.
Xi Quan could see Liu Yuliang's panic. Just as he was about to express his attitude, the phone rang. Xi Quan picked up the phone and pressed the answer button when he heard Zhang Sao's anxious voice: "Xi Quan, come back quickly."
Although Ye Qing's due date was still some time away, childbirth is not something that happens on a fixed schedule, so when he heard what Aunt Zhang said, Xi Quan became extremely nervous: "Is Ye Qing about to give birth? I'm going back right away."
"Oh no, Ye Qing answered a phone call and left in a hurry. I vaguely heard some of the conversation and felt something was wrong."
