Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 122: Brother-in-law is the Ex 22_1
Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Brother-in-law is the Ex 22_1
Xia Ke had been listening the whole time, hearing her friend treat Ho Zhen so bossily.
"I bet Ho Zhen must be fuming right now." Knowing the old Huang Jing, she’d never had this attitude towards him.
It was unexpected that Huang Jing could actually have such a dark transformation.
"Don’t worry," Huang Jing felt that Ho Zhen really lacked exercise, "eventually he’ll find out that there’s a great chance he’ll die of anger."
"Only with more exercise will his body be top-notch."
Xia Ke pursed her lips, "Do you still care if his body is alright?"
Huang Jing smiled and said, "If his body isn’t in good shape, wouldn’t that make the game less fun?"
"They think they’ve found true love and that their partner is the one for life, so why be polite? Of course, they should be together."
Huang Jing said fiercely, "They should be locked together forever. What if they go seducing others?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Ke agreed, "Right, they should be locked together, but isn’t your sister very materialistic?"
She had met Huang Lei a few times, who was always decked out in brand names, giving off the impression of someone who could really spend money, especially after learning about her income.
"I’ve always thought your sister would end up with a rich guy." Xia Ke still didn’t understand how Huang Lei could fall for Ho Zhen.
As for that, Huang Jing could only say, "She did want a rich man, but back in her hometown, suitable matches probably weren’t available or there were very few."
"Plus, you have to admit, once Ho Zhen cleans up and with his way of talking, he really can be quite deceiving." To satisfy Huang Lei, it’s not enough to just have money; good looks are also necessary.
On that note, Xia Ke really had no way to deny, "He works at a big company, one of the Fortune 500, and his income is not bad."
"And visually, he’s quite presentable."
"As long as he’s willing, he can really make a girl very happy."
Xia Ke laughed, thankful that she wasn’t eating or drinking at the moment, "What if Huang Lei finds out that after all her picking and choosing, she ended up with such a guy?"
"It’s all my fault." Huang Jing was very straightforward, "She’ll probably complain to my parents, saying that because I wasn’t happy with Ho Zhen, I deliberately created opportunities for them."
There was no helping it; that’s just how Huang Lei was, "In any case, she’s never wrong."
"It’s fine as long as the old couple has money; it would be a problem once they run out..." Especially Ho Zhen’s parents, who were obsessed with keeping up appearances, spending quite a lot even though they were from a small city.
Back then, to provide for Ho’s elderly parents, the Huang Lei couple had their share of struggles. In this life, the disagreements would only be more frequent.
Whenever Huang Lei and her husband had conflicts, Huang Lixin and his wife would definitely side with Huang Lei, especially if the majority of the house was paid for by Huang Lixin and his wife; Ho Zhen really would be stepped on from all sides.
This family was really good at playing cold war games; they spared no effort in using this tactic against the original host, especially with the host’s sensitive nature.
Of course, now there were already signs of this, but for Huang Jing, it really didn’t matter one bit.
The so-called cold war techniques could be used against them just as well by the current Huang Jing.
"Forget about them, let’s discuss where to go for the Spring Festival." The company was quite considerate.
Usually, the Spring Festival vacation lasts up to ten days, so everyone can go back to celebrate with their families or have a more enjoyable trip if they’re traveling.
Xia Ke initially planned to go to Japan to see the snowscapes there, but remembering that Huang Jing didn’t have a visa for Japan, she wasn’t sure if there was enough time to get one before New Year’s.
To be safe, "How about we go to Australia? Didn’t you just have a business trip there?"
To Australia? "A road trip?" She had taken the driving test with Xia Ke and, regrettably, after getting her license, hadn’t driven much. She wasn’t sure about her driving skill.
"Deal, I’ll see if I can get a car. We can practice first. Although it’s less crowded there, the cities still have plenty of cars."
Although the original host had traveled abroad, it was always for business trips with a large group.
Even if there was free time, it was just for taking taxis to destinations, buying some gifts for family. But now, on a leisure trip, relying solely on taxis would be problematic.
However, how much skill she should display while learning to drive on these big city roads?
For her, skilled at driving, to pretend to be inexperienced was quite stressful.
"Don’t worry, we’ll go to the driving range." Xia Ke, seeing how nervous Huang Jing was, thought it was because she was worried about driving on the road.
Alright, let Xia Ke misunderstand; if it’s about driving on the driving range, Huang Jing wasn’t really concerned. Her driving skills were passable for now, and after a few days abroad, her skills would naturally improve without raising suspicions.
Perhaps in the future, it would be normal for the two of them to go on self-driving tours when traveling abroad.
"Yes, we need to improve our driving skills. It’s so much better to self-drive when we’re abroad."
"Especially overseas, in big cities it’s fine, but if you want to go to beautiful scenic spots, you can’t do without a car."
"Once we’re better at driving, let’s take a self-guided tour of Europe." Xia Ke had longed for such an adventure, but sadly never found a like-minded friend.
But that’s okay, now she had Huang Jing, a guaranteed successful team formation, and of course, if there were a guy, that would be great.
Such a guy, though, was hard to come by.
Never mind, it was okay; as long as they would go to safe places, Xia Ke felt reassured again.
Thus, the two happily decided where to go for the vacation, and what followed was booking the flight and hotels. freewebnσvel.cøm
Although Huang Jing was inexperienced, Xia Ke had the know-how, and soon booked the hotel and tickets.
"All done, and now we just wait to go on vacation." Xia Ke was really looking forward to the trip.
"Don’t you dare stand me up," Xia Ke warned Huang Jing sternly, as past experiences had necessitated such caution.
"Relax, I definitely won’t stand you up." Huang Jing assured her that Huang Lixin and his wife wouldn’t be an issue this time.
After all, they were busy preparing for Huang Lei’s wedding; it wouldn’t look good if she was visibly pregnant during the ceremony.
The Huang family was really in chaos at the moment, with Huang Lixin and his wife recently losing face. Many people who saw them would gossip and those closer commented that Huang Lei was spoiled rotten.
Huang Lixin and his wife admitted that Huang Lei’s behavior had been too much this time, but in their hearts, they blamed Ho Zhen and Huang Jing the most.
Especially Huang Jing—if she hadn’t blown things up, it wouldn’t have come to this.
The glares and whispers from the people around them made the typically proud Huang Lixin and his wife even angrier.
They couldn’t understand why such a matter couldn’t be resolved internally. Why did it need to be blown out of proportion?
