"Sister-in-law, do you mean that when our Yu family runs out of money, you and my brother will abandon each other in times of trouble?"

Yu Mengxi said sarcastically, looking at her sister-in-law with disdain. "She always lectures me because she's pregnant; it's not like she's the only one who can give birth."

"Ah Zhe, that's not what I meant, I..."

"Alright, what's all the noise about so late at night? Ah Zhe, drive your sister there."

When Mr. Yu spoke, Mrs. Yu, though not daring to openly contradict him, had plenty of ways to deal with Yu Mengxi. Watching her husband, Yu Mengzhe, stand up to get the car keys, Mrs. Yu clutched her stomach.

"Zhe, my stomach hurts."

Upon hearing this, Yu Mengzhe immediately became anxious and rushed back to support her, asking anxiously, "What happened? Is there something wrong with the baby?"

Sister-in-law Yu frowned, pretending to be in pain, and groaned softly.

Yu Mengxi rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "Sister-in-law, stop pretending. You just don't want my brother to give me a ride."

Mr. Yu was also somewhat suspicious, but the child in her belly was the Yu family's first grandson, so he dared not be careless. Mrs. Yu had gone back to her parents' home for the past two days and wasn't home right now. If she were there, Mrs. Yu wouldn't dare to pretend like this.

"Let's see how it goes, just in case it's true."

Yu Mengzhe was extremely anxious and completely disregarded his sister, quickly helping his sister-in-law towards the bedroom. Yu Mengxi stomped her feet in anger; it always happened like this.

Yu Mengxi sat in the living room, fuming. After a while, Yu Mengzhe came out, looking exhausted, and said, "It's nothing, your sister-in-law probably just had an upset stomach."

"Little Creek, I can't take you tonight. You'll have to figure something out yourself."

"snort!"

Yu Mengxi huffed angrily, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute, Xiaoxi, here's some money for you."

Feeling guilty, Yu Mengzhe took out a few hundred yuan from his wallet and gave it to her. Yu Mengxi accepted it without ceremony, but still angry, she went back, snatched her older brother's wallet, and took all the money inside.

"Okay, you can have them all."

Yu Mengzhe said helplessly that he is often caught between his sister and his wife, and he is in a difficult position because he can't help either of them.

"Little Creek, wait a minute, Daddy will take you there."

Because his daughter-in-law had delayed him for a while, it was already past nine o'clock. Mr. Yu was worried about his daughter going out to take a taxi so late at night.

"Dad, no need, I can drive myself."

Ever since her eldest brother married her sister-in-law, and her sister-in-law became pregnant, Yu Mengxi knew in her heart that as long as her sister-in-law gave birth to a son, the family would eventually side with her sister-in-law.

She had thought it through; she couldn't rely on anyone but herself. So for the past six months, she had been finding various excuses to ask her family for money. As long as she had money, she wasn't afraid of anything. She also got her driver's license last year; she could drive.

When her father asked her older brother to see her out, based on past experience, she knew her sister-in-law would definitely try to keep him there. She sat on the sofa, pretending to be angry, hoping her older brother would feel guilty and give her money.

Under the shocked expressions of her father and elder brother, Yu Mengxi took the keys to the family car, walked to the door, and stopped.

"Dad, brother, I won't be coming home tonight, and I probably won't be coming back tomorrow either."

Without the two people reacting, she drove off. Yu's father and older brother were still worried about her. Hearing the car start, they quickly went out to check and were relieved to see that Yu Mengxi had really driven away.

When did your sister learn to drive?

"have no idea"

Yu Mengzhe answered with a bewildered look, then heard his sister-in-law calling him from inside, and quickly went in.

"Zhe, did Dad take Mengxi out?"

Hearing the car start, Sister-in-law Yu got out of bed and came out again. She was deliberately trying to compete with Yu Mengxi for favor; she was about to give birth to the Yu family's eldest grandson, and the Yu family should revolve around her.

Why should a daughter who is about to get married be more favored than her? She was unwilling to accept it.

"No, she drove off by herself."

Just as Yu Mengzhe finished speaking, Yu's father returned. It took Yu's sister-in-law a moment to realize what he meant.

She said, dissatisfied, "What am I supposed to do about my prenatal checkup tomorrow morning? Did Mengxi say when she's coming home?"

"We'll take a taxi. Xiaoxi said she won't be back tomorrow either."

Yu Mengzhe said in a flat tone that he didn't think there was anything wrong with taking a taxi.

"No, I'm heavy, it's inconvenient for me to take a taxi. Ah Zhe, quickly call Meng Xi and ask her to bring the car back."

Sister-in-law Yu persisted. Seeing her like this, Father Yu understood perfectly well that she had been faking illness while pregnant.

"No, I'll go outside and flag down a car myself tomorrow and have the driver pick you up at the door. Besides, Xiaoxi's gone now, where am I supposed to find her?"

"No, I won't go for my prenatal checkup tomorrow without a car."

Sister-in-law Yu, rubbing her belly, sat on the sofa and said angrily. Father Yu frowned, his dissatisfaction with his daughter-in-law growing even stronger.

"Are you done yet, Yu Mengzhe? The car is mine, and Xiaoxi is my daughter. She has the right to drive the family car."

"Dad, I didn't mean that. My sister has a share of everything in the house."

Mr. Yu nodded with satisfaction. He only had one son and one daughter, and they were equally important to him. He and his wife had initially been reluctant when their son wanted to marry this woman.

It wasn't that they looked down on her because of her background, but after inquiring about her, they felt that she was petty and narrow-minded, and wouldn't be able to support the Yu family in the future, so she wasn't suitable to be the Yu family's daughter-in-law.

Upon hearing her father's words, Sister-in-law Yu immediately burst into tears.

"Dad, I'm carrying your grandson. What if something happens to me on the way in a taxi?"

"Then don't go. Just go to the hospital when you're close to giving birth."

After finishing his speech, Mr. Yu went back to his room. She was due to give birth in a few days, so whether or not she had a prenatal checkup wasn't a big problem.

Yu Mengzhe glared at him and went back to her room to sleep. If she weren't pregnant, Yu Mengzhe would have cursed at her. Why did she have to cause trouble instead of enjoying a peaceful life?

Meanwhile, Yu Mengxi had already arrived at Xia Zhiheng's building. She parked her car, went upstairs, and gently knocked on the door.

"who"

"Xiao Ning, it's me."

Upon hearing Yu Mengxi's voice, Jiang Jinning eagerly opened the door.

"Xiao Ning"

"XiXi"

The two embraced, and Su Qingyan poured two glasses of water from the kitchen.

"Mengxi, quickly call your friend over to sit down."

Since it wasn't her own home, Jiang Jinning gave Yu Mengxi her home address. Feeling a little embarrassed, she went to her room to tell Su Qingyan, adding that if Su Qingyan minded, they would leave immediately when her friend arrived.

Su Qingyan dared not let Jiang Jinning leave, and told her it was alright, and that her friend could come directly. Su Qingyan then got dressed and stayed with Jiang Jinning and the others.

"Hello, thank you for taking Xiao Ning in."

"Of course, please sit down. I'm going to bed. By the way, it's not safe at night, so you two girls shouldn't go out. Just sleep at my place. Call me if you need anything."

Jiang Jinning and Yu Mengxi thanked Su Qingyan, and Su Qingyan went back to her room.

"Xiao Ning, is she also your friend? I've never seen her before. She's so pretty. But the girl who bought two buildings in our Jingyi Garden last year is even prettier."

"Once we move over there, you'll see her sooner or later. By the way, what did she mean when she said it was our duty to take you in?"
