Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 123: Brother-in-law is the Ex 23_1
Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Brother-in-law is the Ex 23_1
"My whole life’s face, that dead girl has tormented away."
"Right, has that girl contacted you?" Huang Lixin exploded in anger once again, then asked Zhang Xiaoya.
Zhang Xiaoya shook her head, "She hasn’t contacted me."
Hasn’t contacted the family? Huang Lixin snorted coldly a few times, "The New Year is almost here, anyway, when she comes back this time, we can’t be nice to her."
"Even if we give her a big red envelope, it’s all the same." If they don’t teach this girl a lesson this time, she might really think they are easy to bully.
Zhang Xiaoya shared the sentiment, "Right, even if she comes back, we shouldn’t pay any attention to her."
"I won’t tidy up the bed either." Every time Huang Jing came back, she had to turn the study’s sofa bed into a bed, then lay out the bedding, which Zhang Xiaoya also found troublesome.
"She has plenty of money, so let her stay in a hotel." Huang Lixin didn’t want to see Huang Jing at home either.
"Otherwise how would she realize her mistakes."
"With her like that, can she take care of Xiao Lei?" Huang Lixin thought about how Huang Lei had lost a lot of weight these past few days and couldn’t help but sigh helplessly.
"Now that there’s a child, she might as well quit her job."
"You mean, this child?" Zhang Xiaoya was also worried, even if they had the child aborted now, Huang Lei still wouldn’t be able to find a decent man.
Everyone cares about face, who would want to marry someone as notorious as Huang Lei, especially since she’s picky and won’t marry someone with a lower income.
"These past few days, people have been asking me about Huang Jing." The more Zhang Xiaoya thought about it, the angrier she got, actually thinking that people would find Huang Jing to be a good girl; she truly didn’t understand how they could think that way.
Asking about Huang Jing? "What about her?"
"To introduce her to potential partners?" Huang Lixin’s face was incredulous, "Someone who doesn’t consider her parents or sisters and can still get people to introduce her to potential partners?"
"Their brain must be waterlogged." Yes, that’s right, in Huang Lixin’s eyes, isn’t it just being waterlogged?
Zhang Xiaoya also felt they must have waterlogged brains, but on second thought, it seemed quite normal.
"Huang Jing is good-looking, went to a good university, and has a good job." Although she didn’t like Huang Jing, Zhang Xiaoya had to admit that Huang Jing really did have good qualifications.
Huang Lixin knew that, of course, but it was precisely because he knew that he got even angrier, "No matter how good the other party is, do not introduce anyone."
"Otherwise it would be a slap in the face to Xiao Lei." In Huang Lixin’s eyes, Huang Lei should have the best of everything, and Huang Jing should not surpass her.
"If only she..." At that moment, Huang Lixin was thinking how great it would have been if the university Huang Jing had attended wasn’t as good as Huang Lei’s.
Zhang Xiaoya sighed softly, "Nothing to be done, she didn’t consult us when making her university choices."
"When we got the acceptance letter, we couldn’t..." To destroy the acceptance letter, that was something they couldn’t bring themselves to do.
"Forget it, let’s have that girl come home less in the future, let her suffer more hardships, and when she realizes that home is better, she’ll understand."
No matter how successful Huang Jing might be, in Huang Lixin’s eyes, she was not to be indulged, "Otherwise, she’ll end up walking all over us."
"Can we even hope that she would take care of Xiao Lei a little?" It’s downright impossible to hope for that.
Zhang Xiaoya nodded, "Yes, if it weren’t for her, our Huang Lei wouldn’t have ended up like this."
"We definitely have to give her a taste of her own medicine this Spring Festival. Zhang Xiaoya thus set the tone."
How to deal with Huang Jing, the couple had reached a consensus on their opinion and stance, but even more troublesome issues awaited their attention.
The matter of Huang Lei and Ho Zhen was the most thorny issue, "Do you really think we should let them get married?"
Zhang Xiaoya rolled her eyes dismissively, "Do you think they can avoid marriage?"
"Xiao Lei is unwilling to have an abortion and even threatened to jump off a building if pushed too far."
Zhang Xiaoya, who had been a teacher all her life, genuinely felt at a loss when it came to handling her daughter.
She now firmly believed one thing, "Xiao Lei, that girl, has truly been spoiled by us."
Huang Lixin admitted this as well, "Now, it’s indeed difficult to search for a job for her."
Everyone knew about Huang Lei’s poor work attitude, and it was only because he was still in position that she was able to keep her job. Once retired, Huang Lixin couldn’t guarantee that she would continue working.
Now, upon reflection, Huang Lixin thought that Huang Lei marrying Ho Zhen might not be so bad, "Since she insists on marrying him, and there’s already a child, we should then discuss the wedding."
Zhang Xiaoya hummed in agreement, "We were originally planning to discuss the wedding with his parents at the end of the year." It was just that the bride had changed now, but the process remained the same.
Huang Lixin remembered Huang Jing mentioning that Ho Zhen was saving money to buy a house, and of course, Huang Jing was also saving money, planning to buy a house together.
"Xiao Ho will definitely be short on the down payment, and the money from Huang Jing’s side is impossible," Huang Lixin sighed deeply.
"They were just careless in their actions." If they hadn’t been caught by Huang Jing, that money would have been secured.
Now, there was no hope of getting any money from Huang Jing, which meant they had to cover the shortfall.
Zhang Xiaoya hummed, "What I’m thinking now is whether we should buy a house for Xiao Lei or not."
What? Huang Lixin stood up in shock, looking at Zhang Xiaoya incredulously, "Do you have any idea what you’re talking about?"
Zhang Xiaoya was prepared to make such a statement, "Of course I know how expensive the housing prices are there."
"Listen to me, Ho Zhen’s salary might be high, but Xiao Lei isn’t working, and even though she’s pregnant and can’t go out to find a job, you also know her situation, she simply doesn’t like to work."
"Do you think she’ll be willing to work once the child grows up?"
"You also know the financial pressures of having a child."
"Xiao Lei’s spending habits are something you’re aware of as well."
"With the mortgage to pay off, the family to support, and all of Xiao Lei’s expenses, do you think Xiao Ho will continue to want Xiao Lei?"
"The most important thing is, Ho Zhen initially betrayed Huang Jing, it’s hard to ensure that he won’t cheat again." Once the habit of cheating takes hold, it often becomes a recurring issue.
Being a man himself, Huang Lixin understood all too well, "But if we buy a house, our money..."
Even though they had saved a significant amount for their retirement, buying a house would also be a bit of a struggle.
"Sell the other property we have, and put it all towards this, then register it under Xiao Lei’s name to keep Huang Jing from coveting it." In Zhang Xiaoya’s eyes, Huang Jing could be considered wholly despicable.
"Besides, this would be Xiao Lei’s pre-marital property, so even if Ho Zhen’s parents come to live with them, they can’t treat Xiao Lei poorly."
"If Xiao Ho ever has other intentions, the house is still ours, and we can tell him to get lost." Zhang Xiaoya still had her doubts about Ho Zhen.
Upon hearing this, Huang Lixin agreed, "That’s right, this way we can put an end to Huang Jing’s hopes, keep the family assets unrelated to her, and give Xiao Lei an extra layer of security."
