Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 103: Brother-in-law is the Ex 3_1

Huang Jing, who rose the next day, felt completely rejuvenated, "Not bad, not bad at all."

Too lazy to cook breakfast, she simply went to buy it at the entrance of the residential complex.

After all, even if she went to the supermarket to buy frozen food, isn’t that still money? And she’d have to get up early to prepare it, when she could be resting instead?

Especially since Ho Zhen, who wouldn’t pay or help prepare the food, always had this or that to criticize. The original owner would indulge him.

But with someone else in her place, there was no way she would cater to his whims. Want breakfast? Sure, just go outside the complex and buy it ready-made.

If you think it’s unsafe, unhygienic, or too expensive, no problem, you can go to the supermarket and buy ingredients, and then get up and cook for yourself.

As for Ho Zhen, who both complained about the original owner’s cooking and was unwilling to cook or buy groceries himself, from now on, there would be no cooking at home.

Anyway, at work, they provide three meals a day. Although there’s a charge, it’s at employee rates, and you can eat quite well for basically twenty a day.

Alright, that’s settled. No need to go out of the complex for breakfast anymore. Just eat at the workplace. Twenty a day, that’s far better than buying ingredients and cooking yourself.

Keep in mind, if you buy ingredients, it’s hard to manage even with fifty a day, and you have to cook and all, it’s truly tiring.

Grease smoke is bad for a woman’s skin. Then, you still need to do skin care. Truly, it’s a loss-making deal.

As for how Ho Zhen handles his breakfast and dinner, sorry, we’re all adults, we’re all busy with work. Can’t we take care of ourselves?

Keep in mind, Ho Zhen often neglects to eat or sleep because of work and the need to drink during social engagements, and really, his stomach isn’t in good shape.

Because of this, the original owner spared no effort. She even went to learn how to make soups, and the soups she made tasted so good.

The original owner was wholeheartedly caring for Ho Zhen’s health, but now with someone else, sorry, Huang Jing had no desire to put in that much effort.

Instead of worrying about that, it’s better to think about "Beautifying Tea" and such, taking good care of oneself is what’s right.

Men, there’s no need to worry about them at all. Whatever will be, will be. He’s not even your man, there’s no need to care about his well-being.

Anyway, caring won’t make them appreciate you. Save effort when you can.

Huang Jing, heading to work at the company, always felt as though she’d probably forgotten something. But having checked that she’d brought her phone and keys, well, there was nothing that required her worry. freёweɓnovel.com

Busy with work, Huang Jing had forgotten that today was the day Ho Zhen, who’d been on a business trip for half a month, was due home.

Ho Zhen, carrying his luggage and looking exhausted, had expected to come home to a delicious soup waiting for him.

But after searching the kitchen, he found not a single thing to eat, which left him utterly stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Puzzled, Ho Zhen picked up his phone to call Huang Jing.

Unfortunately, at this moment, Huang Jing was in a meeting room attending a crucial meeting, and didn’t receive the call at all.

She knew that if she could successfully complete this task, the merits would be boundless, so she had to try harder and harder still.

Ho Zhen tried calling N times, but nobody answered, and no one returned his calls, which angered him to no end. Yet, there was nothing he could do as his hunger grew intolerable.

To eat something, he could either go out or stay hungry.

After some thought, Ho Zhen decided to go out to eat. His stomach was growling so fiercely that it was necessary to replenish with some food.

Huang Jing finished her meeting and returned to her desk to find some ten missed calls on her phone, and of course, there were many messages.

After checking, she realized that both the calls and messages were from Ho Zhen. Aside from the initial message that he was back, the rest were inquiries about why there was no food at home.

Looking at these messages, she remembered the thing she always felt she was forgetting, which was her scumbag boyfriend’s return.

Based on the original owner’s personality, of course, she would prepare lots of things for him to nourish his body, like chicken soup for instance.

However, unfortunately for him, the soul had changed, and now that she knew about his betrayal, why would she still provide him with good food and drinks?

With that money, it would be better to buy some skincare products and take good care of her skin.

She had been considering whether she should get a gym membership when she discovered that there was a Jian She room in the office building, and it was quite large.

As for why the original owner had no knowledge of this, Huang Jing guessed that after work, she would always rush home to look after Ho Zhen.

Now, although she often had to work overtime, she could still find time to exercise for half an hour every day, starting from today.

While planning her day, she replied to Ho Zhen’s message, "Recently busy, working overtime, no time to cook."

She also took the opportunity to inform him to prepare his own dinner since she wouldn’t be home until at least ten o’clock and wouldn’t have the time or energy to cook.

Ho Zhen, eating in a small restaurant, was busy talking to a client on his phone. That’s how it is in sales, always on the move according to client needs, ready to take orders anytime, anywhere.

Of course, if done well, his income certainly shot up, and Ho Zhen was indeed very satisfied with his current earnings.

Even though his income fluctuated greatly, he could still make over three hundred thousand a year. Compared to Huang Jing’s income, it wasn’t much different. The problem was that she covered most of the expenses, allowing Ho Zhen to save quite a bit.

But now, what troubled him was the phone call from his parents, telling him about someone who had bought a new house, about someone’s son who, after starting work, had bought his parents a new place with an elevator and similar stories.

Ho Zhen knew they just loved to save face, feeling that since their son worked in a big city with a good income, buying an elevator apartment should be a trivial matter.

Indeed, the house prices in his hometown weren’t that expensive, but the question was, didn’t he need to buy a house in the big city where he worked?

No matter how high his income, compared to the price of real estate, it was definitely a crushing outcome. Even though Huang Jing had a substantial amount of savings, as a man, didn’t he need to save face?

It wasn’t about contributing equally, but he also couldn’t contribute much less than Huang Jing.

After hanging up another call from home, Ho Zhen lost his appetite. The food, although looking appealing, was too greasy and made him feel nauseous.

Just as he was paying the bill and leaving the restaurant, he saw a message from Huang Jing about her being in a meeting and recently being busy. Ho Zhen found nothing strange; working in IT often involved overtime and was naturally high earning.

That was also one of the reasons Ho Zhen wasn’t too keen on marrying Huang Jing. As a salesman, he was already very busy. Finding a wife with a hectic job meant future concerns over who would take care of educating the children and the household chores.

Plus, Huang Jing was not much for appearances, coming across more like an aunt than a peer.

If possible, he naturally wanted to find a better-suited wife. But without a house or a car, dreaming of finding a better match in this big city was nothing but a fantasy.

Ho Zhen thought for a moment and decided to put that conversation off for later. After all, they were going to see Huang Jing’s parents soon, and he well knew that his future in-laws were both modestly powerful - one a civil servant, the other a high school teacher.

Both had decent incomes, but he didn’t know how much dowry they would offer.

Thinking this, Ho Zhen, who originally had many grievances against Huang Jing, softened his attitude significantly, bearing with it for the sake of money.
