Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 119: Brother-in-law is the Ex 19_1
Chapter 119: Chapter 119: Brother-in-law is the Ex 19_1
Ho Zhen had barely left when Huang Jing called the Locksmith to change the locks at home.
She hadn’t asked Ho Zhen to leave the keys behind either, but even if he had, she would have changed the locks.
As for someone like Ho Zhen, Huang Jing never felt at ease; who knows what he might do.
Although it was a bit late to call the Locksmith, the promise of money made him happy to come over and do the job.
After changing the door lock, Huang Jing thought it over and decided to give Ho Zhen a call to let him know.
Ho Zhen, carrying his luggage, was walking down the street. He had just asked around at several hotels, finding them either unsanitary or too expensive.
When his phone rang, he picked it up and saw that it was from Huang Jing; he was immediately excited.
Wondering if she had regretted it and wanted him back, he felt he should play it cool and not too eager, otherwise, he knew he would still be under Huang Jing’s control.
As Ho Zhen was contemplating which attitude to adopt for the upcoming conversation, Huang Jing spoke from the other end of the phone, "I’ve changed the lock for our home’s keys."
Huang Jing: "If you need to pick up your things, let me know in advance."
Ho Zhen had not expected Huang Jing would not be begging for him to return, but rather simply informing him about the lock change; he was truly stunned.
Ho Zhen didn’t know what to say and hesitated for a long while, "I really never thought about breaking up with you."
"Really?" Huang Jing laughed, "So you just wanted to have fun with Huang Lei?"
Huang Jing: "Ho Zhen, Ho Zhen, I always knew you were quite shameless."
Huang Jing: "But I never thought you’d be shameless to this extent, you already have a child."
Huang Jing wiped away a tear: "Before, you mentioned needing to cover utilities’ payments for your unit and asked me to help with the loan repayment, which I refused."
Huang Jing: "All those expenses must have been for Huang Lei, right?"
Ho Zhen didn’t want to admit it, but at this point, whether he acknowledged it or not, it seemed to make little difference.
Ho Zhen grunted: "Yes, I also didn’t expect..."
Huang Jing knew Ho Zhen would regret it, but, sadly for him, no one would give him the chance, "You chose this path, and no matter what, you have to see it through."
Huang Jing: "Alright, find some time to collect your clothes. I’ll also move out as soon as possible."
The house was too far from her work, and it held too many unpleasant memories; Huang Jing just wanted to start a new life.
Understanding Huang Jing’s intention, Ho Zhen asked, "You’re planning to move out?"
Huang Jing affirmed: "Yes, it’s too far from work."
Upon hearing this, Ho Zhen had an idea: "How about you move out, and I keep living here?"
That way, he could save the money he would have spent on hotels, as even a single night was costly.
As for Huang Jing, wasn’t her salary high, and didn’t she have substantial savings? She certainly wouldn’t care about such small amounts of money.
She’s moving out? Huang Jing scoffed: "The lease isn’t up yet; there’s still over a month left."
Huang Jing: "And I haven’t found a new place to rent yet."
Huang Jing: "You always thought this place was too small; you can go rent a bigger one."
Suddenly thinking of something, Huang Jing burst into laughter: "I’m silly, you’re about to get married. Whether you buy a house or rent, you’ll need at least a two-bedroom place."
Huang Jing: "Good luck, future brother-in-law. I just wonder if you and your parents will be able to afford a house here too."
Huang Jing knew this would definitely frustrate Ho Zhen, but it had nothing to do with her anymore.
Now, her concern was to ask colleagues if there were any suitable places near the company.
After hanging up Huang Jing’s call, Ho Zhen’s expression could not lighten up.
Well, now Huang Jing can’t be with him, so does that mean he can only be with Huang Lei?
At that moment, he suddenly remembered something he had thought about before, and that was the video Huang Jing had sent out.
So Huang Lei wasn’t the one who betrayed him. Actually, he had argued half a day with Huang Lei, really angry, believing that Huang Lei told Huang Jing to achieve her goal.
Only now did he remember, that was actually captured by a surveillance camera. Why would there be a surveillance camera at home?
Ho Zhen quickly realized, this, this must definitely be Huang Jing’s doing, she must have installed the surveillance in the house.
The more he thought about it, the more he couldn’t accept it. He felt Huang Jing was a wicked woman; how could a normal person even come up with such an idea?
Ho Zhen took out his phone and began to accuse Huang Jing. As soon as the call connected, he erupted in anger, "Was it you who installed the surveillance at home?"
Only finding out now? Huang Jing hummed a response, "Yes, is there a problem?"
Ho Zhen did not expect Huang Jing to not even deny it, to just admit it outright, "How could you, how could you install surveillance."
No, that’s not the point, Ho Zhen said angrily, "You, you didn’t even tell me?"
Huang Jing sneered, "You’re already hooking up with Huang Lei, what do I have to say to you?"
Huang Jing: "If it wasn’t for me installing that camera, I wouldn’t even know that you guys were plotting against my money."
Huang Jing: "To cheat is to cheat. Huang Lei has always been that kind of person, and you’re not any better."
Huang Jing: "We’ve been together for years, and you’ve never even visited my parents; you’re just thinking, if possible, to find a girlfriend with better conditions."
Huang Jing: "It’s just a pity, with your ability and level, you can’t find one."
Thinking about this, Huang Jing clicked her tongue a few times, "You say you’ve been working in the company for so many years, yet in the end, you’re still just in sales."
Of course, Huang Jing was variously pressing him down: "You really are a failure, no car, no house."
Huang Jing: "If you weren’t with me, covering your expenses, what would you do?"
Huang Jing seemed very curious as she asked, "Although I also know you don’t earn much, I thought your expenses wouldn’t be high, so why don’t you have any money?"
In fact, this also greatly puzzled Huang Jing; logically, Ho Zhen really should have had quite a bit of money, so why didn’t he have any?
Huang Jing: "Did you hide it? Spend it on your parents? Or did you chase after other girls?"
Ho Zhen didn’t expect that, originally planning to accuse Huang Jing of excessive actions, only to end up being questioned by her instead.
Of course, Ho Zhen knew where the money went; some spent on his parents because they wanted to save face.
Another part was spent on buying brand-name stuff, after all, working in a foreign company where everyone uses branded items – it would be too shabby if he didn’t have any.
Of course, another part went to chasing other girls. Thinking of the money he’d spent on those girls made Ho Zhen angry.
Every single one of them was a woman eying his money, all bad women. Only Huang Jing never considered his money, yet he made a mistake.
At this point, Ho Zhen couldn’t help wanting to cry, "If I hadn’t gotten together with her, would we, we...?"
Huang Jing knew what he meant – wasn’t he just wondering if things would have turned out differently if he hadn’t cheated?
Although she wanted to say it was impossible, Huang Jing let out a long sigh, "Ho Zhen, there are no ’ifs,’ time can’t be reversed."
Huang Jing: "We have already become history; we’ve also torn off each other’s masks, so let’s leave it at that."
Huang Jing: "Out of everyone you could have cheated with, you had to choose her, thoroughly trampling my dignity into the ground."
Huang Jing took a deep breath, "Some things really are impossible now."
Huang Jing: "I won’t bless you because your happiness is built on my misfortune."
Huang Jing: "What happens to you in the future is none of my concern."
