After Xu Xiaoyue finished speaking, she turned to leave, not wanting to say anything more to Jiang Xinya and the others, afraid that they would see her worry and fear.
Furthermore, Xu Xiaoyue needs to think carefully about what to do next!
Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying were indeed startled when they first heard Xu Xiaoyue's words, and didn't have time to think.
However, the old lady reacted very quickly at this moment. Upon hearing Xu Xiaoyue's words, she said, "You're just trying to scare me. It's only right to get our own money back. What difference will it make if we call the police?"
Hearing her mother-in-law's voice behind her, Xu Xiaoyue was stunned. She had always known about her mother-in-law's views, even though it was the year 2000, the old lady's thinking was still so outdated.
At this moment, Xu Xiaoyue was stunned not because she was questioning whether the old lady's thinking was outdated, but because she was thinking about the three people behind her and realized how troublesome this matter was.
Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying quickly realized what the old lady was saying. Jiang Xinya sneered and said what Xu Xiaoyue was thinking: "Call the police? Xu Xiaoyue, you can only scare people with your words. Just like your mother-in-law said earlier, can calling the police solve the problem? This is a family matter. Even an upright official can't settle family disputes."
Besides, the call wasn't made by Xu Ying or me, it was by your mother-in-law. Even if we were included, Xu Ying is pregnant. Did I ask you for money? Like your mother-in-law said, do you think I'd actually get the money? No way! We were just helping your mother-in-law.”
Xu Xiaoyue took a deep breath, thinking, "I'd be a fool to believe you."
In the end, even if they do get the money, no matter how arrogant the old lady is, it's highly unlikely that Qian Jiangxinya and Xu Ying will give it to her!
Xu Xiaoyue knew that arguing with Jiang Xinya was pointless; she needed to find a way to leave.
So, with her back to them, Xu Xiaoyue remained silent for a moment, then went straight back to her room without turning around.
She stood in front of the window with her arms crossed, looking outside.
When Xu Xiaoyue first came here, she did consider leaving, but after observing the environment, she gave up, thinking that since her child hadn't been born yet, she was safe for the time being.
However, to her surprise, they were actually not afraid and started extorting money. Xu Xiaoyue absolutely could not let them succeed.
The sound of a train clanging and clattering could be heard again. Although it was very cold, Xu Xiaoyue still opened the window and looked out into the damp, cold air.
Not far away are train tracks, and trains pass by from time to time.
There were no other houses to be seen except where they were now; without houses, there was no way to see any people.
Moreover, there wasn't even any farmland around.
If there is land and people to farm it, then we can try to find a solution.
But now there's nothing!
Jiang Xinya had prepared the food in advance, and after they finished eating, she would call someone to bring it over.
Jiang Xinya came prepared from the very beginning!
So at first, Xu Xiaoyue thought she should just take things one day at a time. She was also afraid that if she kept going through all that trouble, she would damage her health and it would be terrible if she hurt the baby.
But now... Xu Xiaoyue narrowed her eyes, closed the window, and was determined to find a way to escape.
She had made up her mind, but figuring out how to get out of there was still a difficult problem. Xu Xiaoyue let out a long sigh!
My mind was a mess, but the fear and anxiety in my heart grew stronger and stronger.
So Xu Xiaoyue opened the window again, trying to clear her head by breathing in the damp, cold air.
Although Xu Xiaoyue felt she should remain calm, being exposed to the cold wind was uncomfortable. Moreover, Xu Xiaoyue was pregnant, and in this remote place, catching a cold would be troublesome. So she turned around to stop standing by the window in the cold wind. But just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly heard what sounded like voices.
Moreover, the voice clearly did not belong to Jiang Xinya and Xu Ying downstairs.
As she was about to turn around, Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but lean against the window and crane her neck to look outside.
After Liu Yuliang called the police, Ye Qing was brought back by Xi Quan, and then she told Xi Quan to go back to his work.
The two children are still with Grandpa Xi Quan, so only Ye Qing and Aunt Zhang are at home.
Although they are biological mother and daughter, they are not quite the same as typical biological mothers and daughters, so they don't have much to say to each other.
If the two children were at home, Ye Qing might be able to distract herself a little. However, although Ye Qing assured Xi Quan that she wouldn't overthink it and would wait for the police investigation, she couldn't help but think back on it.
At first, I thought that Xu Xiaoyue's mother-in-law was the only one involved, but later I realized that Jiang Xinya may also have played an important role.
She wanted to ask Yang Zi and Li Yeming, but the police politely advised her that if they were accomplices, her hasty approach might alert them, and that she should leave everything to the police.
So now Ye Qing is essentially powerless to do anything.
However, this waiting was also very agonizing. Just as Ye Qing was thinking of finding something to relieve this torment, the phone rang.
Because it was in the living room and the phone was right next to him, Ye Qing hesitated for a moment, then reached out and answered the phone.
"Huang Fei? How's filming going lately?" Huang Fei's call made Ye Qing relax a bit.
"It's alright. This place is in the middle of nowhere, and it's really boring every day except for filming. But luckily we're about to move to another location, and it will be better after that."
Although Ye Qing had never acted before, she had worked as a costume designer on a film set, so she knew a little bit about acting. She comforted Huang Fei for a few words, and then Ye Qing said with some emotion, "To be honest, I was quite surprised to receive your call. I didn't expect that you would still think of calling me while you were filming. And from what you said, you can still make a phone call even though you're in the middle of nowhere. Your conditions must not be that bad."
"Only the director and producer's place has a phone line that I can use to make calls. My own mobile phone has no signal at all..." Huang Fei complained for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, is Xu Xiaoyue also filming here? I saw her today, but she was too far away to talk to me. If she was far away, I would have to shout, and I was afraid that if she was filming, my loud voice would disturb their sound recording. But your friend is really dedicated. She's only been married a short time and she's already filming..."
Huang Fei seemed to be talking to himself, but he was interrupted by Ye Qing halfway through his sentence.
Upon hearing Huang Fei's words, Ye Qing was stunned for a moment before feeling overjoyed. Then, Ye Qing asked nervously, "Where did you see Xu Xiaoyue?"
"It's near our film set."
"What's the exact location of your film crew?" Ye Qing asked.
