Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 107: Brother-in-law is the Ex 7_1

Huang Lixin and his wife, of course, had known for a while that Huang Jing was bringing her boyfriend home today.

For them, as long as it wasn’t Huang Lei’s boyfriend, they didn’t want to be too enthusiastic in their hospitality.

As for whether Huang Jing and her partner might have opinions about this, it was something Huang Lixin and his wife never considered.

Over the years, the way they treated Huang Jing was so chilly at times that even outsiders sometimes found it too cold, yet this girl would still come back with large and small packages during the holidays.

Not to mention the red envelopes given during the festivities, and on their birthdays as well.

So, Huang Jing being unhappy or harboring dissatisfaction towards them, Huang Lixin and his wife believed, was out of the question.

If she really did become unhappy, it wouldn’t matter, because with just a slightly better attitude from them, the girl would immediately change her mind and rush into their arms without a doubt.

After Huang Jing entered the house, she saw that the scene was not as the original owner remembered; well, the butterfly effect really couldn’t be relied on too heavily.

"Dad, Mom," Huang Jing greeted Huang Lixin and his wife first.

When Ho Zhen entered the housing complex, his first thought was that the environment was really nice, and the house prices must not be cheap.

He had casually asked Huang Jing about the original and current house prices, and couldn’t help but be astounded inside.

Although it couldn’t compare with the house prices in the city where they were currently working, it was much better than his parents’ house.

After entering the house, he quickly scanned around and saw, not counting the kitchen, four doors, and instantly knew that if he wasn’t mistaken, it should be a three-bedroom and two-living room house.

Comparing this quickly with house prices, it was definitely a million-dollar property; Ho Zhen had already begun to get a preliminary understanding of the Huang family’s economic strength.

The only problem now was that Huang Jing had an older sister, and from what she implied, it seemed the parents favored the sister more; if that were true, then there might be trouble.

In such a case, no matter how much money the Huang couple had, it would have nothing to do with Huang Jing, which really annoyed Ho Zhen.

Ho Zhen’s mind was racing with thoughts, but on the surface, he was very honest and respectful in greeting Huang Lixin.

As for what they thought of Huang Jing’s prospective son-in-law, Huang Lixin and his wife had no intention of helping to investigate him.

Since Huang Jing had decided to marry him, then let them marry; after all, having raised Huang Jing until her university graduation, they had already fulfilled their responsibilities as parents.

When it came to providing a dowry, they wouldn’t contribute anything; Huang Jing had been working for many years, and her salary was all in her own hands, there was no need for them to pay out.

As for the character of this prospective son-in-law, the old couple cared even less; once a daughter is married off, she’s like water splashed out of the house, and all consequences would be borne by Huang Jing herself.

The four people sitting in the living room chatted with a lukewarm interest, and Ho Zhen constantly felt something strange.

For some reason, he just felt that Huang Lixin and his wife’s attitude towards him was not that it was bad, but there was a sense of indifference.

Huang Lei had actually heard the greetings from the living room long ago, but she didn’t want to go out.

She just quietly nestled by the door, listening to the unfamiliar man’s voice, knowing that it must be Huang Jing’s man.

For some reason, she always found his voice so pleasant to listen to; if a man’s voice could be so pleasing, then his character must not be bad either.

No, she had to go out and see what Huang Jing’s boyfriend looked like.

With that thought, Huang Lei went in front of the mirror and carefully checked herself, the only regret being that her clothes didn’t showcase her beauty.

She quickly picked out a pink sweater from the wardrobe, knowing that pink was the color that made her look even more attractive.

So what if he’s Huang Jing’s boyfriend? To her, as long as she liked someone, even a brother-in-law was fair game.

Not to mention, they weren’t even married yet, which made it even less of an issue.

If there really was a problem, then it was Huang Jing’s fault. Who has a seven or eight-year-long relationship without thinking about getting married?

In fact, it just showed the man’s attitude, that he had never considered marrying you.

If that were the case, why shouldn’t she give it a try? What if she succeeded?

By that time, Huang Jing would have to thank her, otherwise someone else would have snatched him away.

Huang Lei quickly applied a simple makeup look and headed out, despite not having a boyfriend. However, she knew exactly what to do to capture a man’s attention.

Huang Jing sat quietly on the sofa, her mind occupied with when Huang Lei would come out. Hearing the door, her heart suddenly relaxed.

Here she comes, here she comes, here she comes—Huang Jing knew that events were unfolding just as the original host’s memories had foretold.

The subsequent developments were truly indistinguishable; the content from the original host’s memories was simply replaying in Huang Jing’s mind.

Mr. and Mrs. Huang Lixin saw Huang Lei’s appearance and her enthusiastic conversation with Ho Zhen, seeing nothing wrong with it.

Perhaps in their eyes, their own daughter was just that outstanding.

As for Huang Jing’s thoughts, they didn’t care at all.

Huang Jing was also prepared, pulling out a professional book from her bag and beginning to read.

In truth, if they paid any attention to Huang Jing, they would see her glancing over at them from time to time, especially at Huang Lei and Ho Zhen.

If someone were to enter the Huang family home at that moment, seeing this scene, they would surely assume it was Huang Lei introducing her boyfriend.

At that moment, Huang Lei was filled with jealousy. She truly hadn’t expected Huang Jing, the ugly girl, to have found such an outstanding man.

A graduate from a renowned university, working at a Fortune 500 company, drawing a handsome salary, and although currently a bit lacking in personal conditions, making up for it with hard work.

Looking around at the other men, how many of them were as hardworking? Even though they lacked competence, they still acted as if they could soar to the heavens.

A man not yet thirty, it was clear to see his future prospects were bright. Men usually entered the prime of their careers after thirty.

By then, Ho Zhen’s income would be even higher, not just half a million a year; reaching a million would hardly be a problem.

Are a house and car a problem? Not at all. Once he bought a house and car, would she maintain any advantage?

Definitely not, absolutely not. It’s not just that Huang Lei and the Huang Lixin couple thought she was exceptional and could take her time choosing.

But Huang Lei knew, right now she could afford to be choosy about her partner, yet in a few years, it would be the other way round; the quality of the men available to her would inevitably decline.

Huang Lei didn’t want to end up with a man inferior to Ho Zhen, which would make her the butt of a huge joke.

And so far, Ho Zhen was the most outstanding and potential-filled man she had ever met. Huang Lei’s mind raged with the thought that she absolutely could not let this man slip by, or she would surely regret it.

But how to get Ho Zhen’s contact information was the real headache.

If she asked outright, Huang Lei knew Huang Jing would never agree. Why else would she bring Ho Zhen home for marriage discussions if not for fear that he might be stolen from her?

The more it was like this, the more Huang Lei wanted to snatch Ho Zhen away. On one hand, she could land herself a man with potential, and on the other hand, she could also strike at Huang Jing.
