Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 112: Brother-in-law is the Ex 12_1

"I’ve already visited your parents, and we keep in touch often."

"Now that you’ve visited my parents as well, we can start planning for our wedding."

"You’ll definitely need to meet my relatives," Huang Jing paused, "I was thinking of arranging it this time, but I have to go back tomorrow, so there’s no chance to meet the relatives."

"Let’s wait for the Spring Festival, my family hosts guests every year," Huang Jing efficiently made arrangements.

Huang Jing urged, "First, join the family chat group to get familiar with everyone." Suddenly, she turned back, "Wait, you’ve been making all sorts of excuses, not wanting to join the group. Do you not want to marry me?"

"Or do you have someone else outside?" Huang Jing looked at Ho Zhen with suspicion.

"It was that late-night call to you..." Huang Jing tried to recall who had called Ho Zhen in the middle of the night.

Though she had no evidence, it didn’t matter—Ho Zhen was untrustworthy.

Ho Zhen became anxious. If before it was about dealing with the Huang family, and he could still remain detached, enjoying the spectacle, now he certainly had to explain.

Otherwise, if the Huang family thought he was involved with someone else, his prospects with them would be completely ruined.

"I’ve told you, it’s all work-related, work-related, I’ll join."

"Am I not joining now?" Forget it, future issues could be dealt with later. For now, he needed to get through this, or else there would be no end of trouble.

Seeing Ho Zhen join the group, Huang Jing naturally started introducing him with efficiency, making him out to be even better than he had claimed.

The relatives, who had already thought Huang Jing’s boyfriend looked smart in photos, were surprised to find he was actually quite outstanding.

Especially after seeing Huang Jing mention that they were college sweethearts, the congratulatory messages from everyone were endless.

Looking at everyone’s congratulations, Huang Jing didn’t even need to see the expressions of the other four to know they must be looking quite ugly right now.

Hum, she wasn’t the original host, someone who dared not say anything, and who had to swallow all the bitter consequences in the end.

In this life, if they were to come together, it wouldn’t be so easy, but Huang Jing felt it was for their own good. After all, only after having been through a lot together would they cherish their relationship even more.

They wouldn’t start being upset over trivial things.

Huang Jing efficiently replied to messages, "Right, now you’ve joined my family’s chat group. What about your family’s group?"

"Don’t say you don’t have one, you mentioned it before. During the Spring Festival, you were giving out red envelopes in your family group, weren’t you?"

Huang Jing preempted any excuses Ho Zhen might have had, looking at him with a smile.

Ho Zhen was inwardly cursing up a storm. To be honest, he had dealt with countless difficult clients and had seen plenty of tough negotiations.

But he could honestly say he’d never encountered a client as troublesome and frustrating as Huang Jing.

If every client were like this, he would indeed be driven to anger, and it would be impossible to close any deals.

Ho Zhen had no choice but to get Huang Jing into his family group chat. However, unlike her enthusiastic introductions in her family group, he hadn’t made any moves yet.

All Huang Jing wanted was to join the group, and if Ho Zhen wasn’t planning on making any introductions, she really saw no problem with it. His unwillingness only confirmed that he wouldn’t be helpful.

Huang Jing enthusiastically introduced herself, and took the opportunity to send the recent family portrait to Ho Zhen’s family group chat, not forgetting to send a big red envelope as well.

Ho Zhen thought about not making an introduction, wondering how Huang Jing would handle it.

To his surprise, she went ahead and made introductions herself, sending the photo, which was fine, but then she also sent out red envelopes.

This made him really frustrated. He didn’t have much affection for his relatives and thought of them as vampires.

I always feel like because I work in a big city and graduated from a prestigious university with a high salary, I ought to financially support them, send them red envelopes, and buy gifts.

I only send one or two during festivals and holidays to avoid spoiling them.

But look at Huang Jing, she’s so generous right off the bat. It’ll be tough to manage expectations after that.

They might not necessarily think better of Huang Jing, but if I start being with Huang Lei, wouldn’t she have to send red envelopes too?

She must send red envelopes, and the amount can’t be small, otherwise who knows how much the relatives will nag.

My family is from a small city. I dated my younger sister first and then married my older sister. Once word gets out, I can imagine what kind of reputation they’ll have there.

The relatives back home will surely bring it up constantly. Ah, just thinking about it annoys me.

Huang Jing was in a good mood, quickly sending out eight red envelopes, just like that over three thousand went out.

When Huang Lei found out, she said sourly, "Huang Jing, how come you only send them out to Ho Zhen’s relatives? What about our own relatives here?"

Oh, there it is, already taking sides. Huang Jing doesn’t care about appearances, "Can’t help it, it’s because Ho Zhen didn’t introduce me."

"Ho Zhen, I think Huang Lei’s right, I sent red envelopes to your family, you should send them to my family’s group chats too."

"Send the same level of red envelopes," Huang Jing insisted, staring at Ho Zhen.

What? Ho Zhen was just feeling the pain of the red envelopes Huang Jing sent out because, after all, that was his money.

Now, unexpectedly, the tables have turned, and he’s supposed to send red envelopes as well, and not just any envelopes, but just as many.

Ho Zhen felt like his heart wasn’t just bleeding but was completely shattered to pieces.

"I, I..." he wanted to say he had no money, for Huang Jing to give him the money.

"You don’t have money?" Huang Jing looked at him with a mischievous smile, "Isn’t our money combined?"

"I remember you just got paid, so how come?" Humph, nice try, at this point, how could he say he didn’t have money?

Ho Zhen really wanted to kneel down to Huang Jing. It was one thing after another. What could he do? He had to send the money.

"Oh right, I sent sixteen red envelopes, you should send ten in each group, perfect ten," she said.

"After all, you are the man." Huang Jing suddenly had an idea that a four-thousand red envelope would certainly make Ho Zhen’s heart ache terribly.

Anyway, she wasn’t the one paying for it, nor would it be spent on her, no need to be frugal.

She sent sixteen red envelopes, and now there need to be twenty? Ho Zhen was stunned, but he had no choice. He could guess how Huang Jing would react if he didn’t cough up the money.

It wasn’t that he was stingy, but she might say he had another woman on the side or worse. Either way, he couldn’t handle it.

"I didn’t say I wouldn’t send it, I’m just considering," Ho Zhen tried to explain.

Considering, "As a man, what’s there to consider?"

"You’re in sales, sometimes you need to act decisively." Sometimes people just think too much, and end up complicating their businesses.

Of course, his sales are not bad at the moment, but as competition increases and several capable colleagues join the company, his business isn’t progressing.

In the workplace, if you’re not progressing, you’re actually regressing. Of course, it’s possible to just get by.

In his previous life, he could afford to just get by, since he didn’t have the burden of supporting a family. What about after that?

Forget it, that’s for the newlywed couple to worry about, not me.
