Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 117: Brother-in-law is the Ex 17_1
Chapter 117: Chapter 117: Brother-in-law is the Ex 17_1
Huang Jing really didn’t think highly of the situation, Ho Zhen didn’t have the finances to buy a house, and his capital must have been nearly used up as well.
Even if Huang Lei managed to persuade the Huang Lixin couple to shell out the money, just like in their previous life, the problem was that back then Ho Zhen had paid a down payment of a million, which made them think highly of the young man.
Even after they later learned that most of the money came from Huang Jing, it was already too late for regrets.
The fact that Huang Lei had stolen Huang Jing’s man was already the subject of much gossip among the relatives, and they couldn’t let the matter escalate, or the original victim would end up suffering the most.
But now, the money hadn’t been transferred to Ho Zhen, and he didn’t have much on hand—if he had, he wouldn’t have preferred to lose the deposit rather than pay the final payment.
With Ho Zhen lacking the strength even to pay the deposit and burdened by his parents, who were like dead weight, Huang Jing knew the Huang Lixin couple would definitely look down on them.
Of course, they might blame her for it, but Huang Jing declared she didn’t care and if they really wanted to make a fuss, she was unafraid.
It would be the perfect opportunity for the relatives to come and judge the matter, because without causing a stir, she was undoubtedly the one who would lose out.
In order to whitewash Huang Lei and Ho Zhen, they would surely try to slander Huang Jing by saying how bad she was.
But trying to smear her wasn’t going to be so easy; Huang Jing planned to strike first.
Huang Jing directly posted the surveillance footage to the Zhang Family and Huang Family’s family group chats, then tagged the other three members of the Huang family, demanding an explanation.
She also posted it to the Ho Zhen family’s group chat, tagging all three members of the Ho Family, similarly asking for an explanation.
Then she went to work, and as for the commotion in the group chats, she didn’t care—such explosive content was enough for everyone to think about.
Perhaps this approach was a bit rash, but Huang Jing couldn’t think of any other solution.
Talking to the Huang Lixin couple and Ho Zhen’s parents would only lead to them muddying the waters, and the outcome was predictable—it would be just like in her previous life, wouldn’t it?
Unfortunately for them, they might want it this way, but Huang Jing was not willing to play along, and although she might not have face, the ones with the most to lose were Huang Lei and the other three.
In the end, what’s the point in caring about face when substance is gone?
After the video was posted in the group, it immediately caused a huge stir, and under normal circumstances, Huang Lei and the others could have seen it quickly.
Unfortunately, Huang Lixin was tied up with social commitments that day, and Zhang Xiaoya went to tutor, so they certainly wouldn’t discover it right away.
As for Huang Lei, she was busy discussing marriage plans with Ho Zhen—overall, it was quite lively.
Everyone of course knew Huang Jing had a boyfriend, who had recently visited her parents with her to discuss marriage.
Everyone was saying that Huang Lei must be jealous this time, since she had always been envious from a young age. Now, seeing Huang Jing doing well at work and with such a promising man, how could she feel good?
What they didn’t expect was that, with a simple turn, Huang Lei actually snatched Huang Jing’s boyfriend, how could this not surprise everyone?
What’s more shocking was that Huang Lei was now pregnant with his child.
Okay, unwed pregnancy is common these days, nothing too strange about that.
But wasn’t it said that Huang Jing’s boyfriend had a pretty high income? So why calculate against Huang Jing’s savings when buying a house?
What’s more important is the intention to transfer the money from the account, then have Ho Zhen buy the house in his name; Huang Jing had paid the bulk of the down payment, yet her name wasn’t on the property.
This scheme involved not only Ho Zhen’s calculations, Huang Lei knew as well, or perhaps it was even her idea.
This revelation physically shocked everyone—they knew Huang Lei was crafty and good at manipulating people.
But no one expected her to be this calculating, which could only leave people feeling astonished and alarmed.
Now they schemed against Huang Jing, but who knew if they might scheme against others in the future—it was all an unknown.
The people involved in all kinds of discussions had completely forgotten to inform Huang Lixin and his wife about the matter.
By the time they realized it, the issue had really blown up, and it wasn’t just in the Zhang Family and Huang Family group chats that many friends became aware of it.
After receiving a few calls from friends, either out of concern or wanting to mock, Huang Lixin and Zhang Xiaoya quickly took out their phones to go online and see what exactly was happening.
As a result, they saw the posts in the friends’ circles and group chats, and, of course, the biggest disaster zone was the family group chat.
For Huang Lixin and his wife, at that moment, they really just wanted to completely collapse and had no desire at all to deal with the situation.
After watching all the videos, all they could do was give a bitter smile, as they truly had no idea how to clear their name.
The contents of the video showed Huang Lei video calling with Ho Zhen, discussing either children or her failed schemes against Huang Jing.
What horrified them even more was that, according to Huang Lei, Huang Lixin and his wife, as parents, actually supported Huang Lei’s attempts to steal Huang Jing’s man.
Looking at each other, the couple had only one thought, and that was that clearing their name this time was truly a big problem.
They were both their daughters, and even if some people knew that they favored one over the other, such blatantly partial parents were more than many had anticipated.
This time, it was as if people were pinning them to the ground and stomping on them, and if they wanted to turn things around, Huang Lixin took a deep breath.
"Huang Lei, that girl, has really been spoiled rotten," Huang Lixin said furiously.
Zhang Xiaoya was also quite shocked by Huang Lei’s behavior, "How, how could she already have a child?"
She had suspected this before but, without confirmation, she assumed that since Huang Lei had not been introduced to a boyfriend recently, there wouldn’t be any problems.
To her surprise, not only had Huang Lei not broken up with Ho Zhen, but she was also pregnant.
What made Zhang Xiaoya even angrier was, "Isn’t he high-income?"
"How come he doesn’t even have the down payment for a house?"
"He really doesn’t deserve Huang Lei." Although Huang Lei’s income wasn’t high, Zhang Xiaoya saw her daughter as nothing but good.
After blaming Ho Zhen, Zhang Xiaoya did not spare Huang Jing either, "Huang Jing, that girl, how could she not tell us about such a big issue."
"Look what happened now, we’ve become the laughing stock of the family."
"And it doesn’t stop there," Huang Lixin said listlessly, "I don’t even know how to face work tomorrow."
Even his colleagues knew about the issue, and he could imagine how they must be laughing behind his back.
Zhang Xiaoya’s expression wasn’t any better, "Yes, and now look at what Huang Jing has done to my reputation."
As a senior teacher, Zhang Xiaoya had always valued her image highly, always the one reprimanding others, and now the tables had turned.
The more Zhang Xiaoya thought about it, the more angry she became, and she called Huang Jing directly, "If we do not discipline them properly, they will really think we are pushovers."
"I said it from the start, that girl Huang Jing was no good," Zhang Xiaoya had never had any kind of affection for this daughter.
Huang Lixin kept nodding in agreement, "Right, we must discipline that girl properly, she really has no sibling affection."
"We can’t let her off this time unless she admits her wrongdoings."
"Otherwise..." Zhang Xiaoya felt they should really intimidate Huang Jing somewhat.
"Not let her come back. After all, she has no sisterly affection." Yes, not letting her come back, Zhang Xiaoya wasn’t really worried about whether Huang Jing would be anxious, wondering how distressed she would be then.
