After hearing what they were arguing about, Xu Xiaoyue became furious and kicked open the door to Jiang Xinya's room.
The three people who were arguing stopped abruptly and looked at Xu Xiaoyue standing at the door.
Xu Xiaoyue is a former model and is taller than Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying, not to mention Liu Yuliang's biological mother, who is much taller than the old lady.
So Xu Xiaoyue standing there made them feel a little scared, perhaps because the thing they were arguing about wasn't something honorable, so they felt guilty, which led to their fear.
"You guys really aren't afraid of death!" Xu Xiaoyue stared at the three of them for a long time before speaking in an icy tone.
The moment they saw Xu Xiaoyue standing at the door, they wondered if she had heard what they were saying. Now that Xu Xiaoyue had spoken, they knew she had.
Explanations seem weak and ineffective, after all, this is not something that can be explained in a single sentence.
However, this standoff was awkward no matter how they tried, and all three of them were wondering how to start the conversation.
Even though they had already fallen out, and it didn't matter if things got worse, they still hoped to maintain a peaceful relationship with Xu Xiaoyue until they received the money.
However, just as the three of them were trying to figure out how to break the suffocating awkwardness, they saw Xu Xiaoyue turn around and leave.
Although he hadn't had a chance to say anything yet, he breathed a sigh of relief. Before he could even catch his breath, he saw Xu Xiaoyue walk towards the telephone in the living room.
At this moment, Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying rushed out in unison and ran in front of Xu Xiaoyue to stop her from making the phone call.
Because of her height advantage, Xu Xiaoyue held the phone high, making it impossible for Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying to reach it.
The old lady did see Xu Xiaoyue about to make a phone call, but she was a little slow to react and didn't quite understand why Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying were so agitated.
However, although it was unclear why, when she saw them struggling with Xu Xiaoyue for the phone, she rushed over to try to pull Xu Xiaoyue away so that Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying wouldn't bump into her, and she also tried to pull Xu Ying away, afraid that Xu Ying would be bumped into.
The scene quickly became chaotic.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama, and these are four women: three young women, plus an old lady who's always causing trouble.
At this moment, neither Xu Xiaoyue nor Xu Ying cared that they were pregnant; they were both very attached to the phone that allowed them to contact the outside world.
Seeing Jiang Xinya being pushed out, she had a sudden inspiration and bent down to unplug the phone line: "Xu Xiaoyue, unplug the phone line, you don't need to hold onto the phone."
Upon hearing Jiang Xinya's words, Xu Xiaoyue turned her head and glanced at her, then walked over to Jiang Xinya with the phone in her arms, attempting to snatch the phone line.
Jiang Xinya also held tightly to the phone line to prevent Xu Xiaoyue from taking it away. She said, "Xu Xiaoyue, don't be naive. Now that you're here, you don't think you're here for a vacation, do you? I haven't gotten anything yet, how can I just let it go like this? It's said that losing money is better than losing a disaster. Apart from losing a little money, you haven't lost anything."
Xu Xiaoyue stared coldly at Jiang Xinya without saying a word.
Actually, if it were just Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying, and Liu Yuliang's mother wasn't around, Xu Xiaoyue wouldn't be in such a hurry when they called asking for money.
She knew her brother would call the police, but now there was also Liu Yuliang's biological mother, so it was hard to say whether she would call the police.
If she didn't call the police, and for her own safety, Xu Xiaoyue would be unwilling to accept that her younger brother had actually given them the money. It could be said that the card she had left with her brother was all the savings she had accumulated over the years; if it were gone, she would be completely gone.
Although money can be earned back, Xu Xiaoyue just didn't want it to fall into the hands of her so-called mother-in-law. Xiaoyue was truly desperate now; she never imagined she'd be stuck with such a mother-in-law.
She was stubborn and feudal before, and although life with Liu Yuliang might not be easy because of her mother-in-law, she could endure it.
But now this old lady has actually teamed up with someone to extort money.
It seems that what I said earlier didn't scare them.
That's true. Xu Xiaoyue previously thought that Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying wanted to ask Ye Qing for money, so it's normal that the old lady was frightened by Xu Xiaoyue's words.
As for the old lady's idea, she asked Xu Xiaoran for money, which was to get back the money that rightfully belonged to their family. What's wrong with that?
Seeing Xu Xiaoyue still holding the phone and confronting Jiang Xinya, the old lady said, "Don't be anxious, be careful of the child. That money is our family's money, how could I give it to outsiders, you..."
Xu Xiaoyue snorted and interrupted the old lady.
Jiang Xinya also laughed at the old lady's naivety. She usually seemed like a ruthless person, but she didn't expect her to become so childish at this moment.
Jiang Xinya sneered, but the old lady glared at her and, hearing Xu Ying also sneer, said anxiously, "Don't join in the commotion. Just give birth to the child properly. As long as it's a boy, I guarantee all my son's money will go to your son."
These words made Xu Ying smile even more brightly.
Ever since Xu Ying and Jiang Xinya came up with the idea of having the old lady ask Xu Xiaoyue's brother for money, Xu Ying has been firmly on the same page as Jiang Xinya.
After all, the child in her belly had nothing to do with Liu Yuliang, and she didn't even know Liu Yuliang, so it was impossible to expect the old lady to protect her.
Now that the old lady still thinks this way, Xu Ying felt it was better to take this opportunity to bring things up openly.
She recounted the whole story in a mocking tone, then looked at the completely dumbfounded old lady with a sarcastic expression: "Jiang Xinya and I were just thinking of using your preference for sons to make Xu Xiaoyue's news more sensational, and then taking the opportunity to ask for some money. Who knew you would be so persistent, and now that we're here, you won't let us leave. Since that's the case, then we'll just play along and ask for money in another way. So now you'd better cooperate with us obediently, otherwise it's hard to say whether Xu Xiaoyue's baby can be saved."
In the old lady's eyes, Xu Xiaoyue's money was also hers. Now that the money was about to disappear, it was like tearing out a piece of her own flesh. The pain made her raise her hand to hit Xu Ying.
But how could Xu Ying let her hit her? The old lady was shrewish, but Xu Ying was no gentle and virtuous person either. Fighting was commonplace for her. She grabbed the old lady's arm, and Jiang Xinya stepped forward and grabbed the old lady's other hand.
Although Xu Xiaoyue was angry, she gradually calmed down and realized that anger alone would not solve anything. She needed to find a solution. After watching their infighting drama, Xiaoyue said, "Don't be too happy yet. Maybe my brother has already called the police."
