Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 128: Brother-in-law is the Ex 28_1

Zhang Xiaoya looked at the barrage of messages that Huang Jing sent in the group and her face instantly turned red with anger.

She suddenly looked up at Huang Lixin: "Old Huang, look at Huang Jing’s attitude, how can she be like this."

Huang Lixin stared at the messages in the group, his face looking so unpleasant, and only after a long while did he look up, "What can I do if you tell me?"

"Help you scold Huang Jing?" The child is grown up, no longer listens to adults.

Moreover, Huang Lixin knew in his heart that if he scolded Huang Jing, she would definitely retaliate, and who knows, she might stir things up again.

Thinking of this, Huang Lixin looked dissatisfiedly at Zhang Xiaoya, "Now you’re satisfied, wherever Huang Jing wants to go play, it’s her freedom."

"Why are you gripping onto her so tightly?"

"If you really push her to the limit and this blows up again, what do you think everyone will think?"

"But she, going abroad to play, doesn’t even think about how much money that will cost." Zhang Xiaoya was frustrated.

"With that money, we could remodel a bathroom and a kitchen," Zhang Xiaoya muttered under her breath.

"So what?" Huang Lixin couldn’t help but rub his forehead, feeling at that moment that Huang Lei’s foolishness definitely came from Zhang Xiaoya.

"You didn’t see her saying that she is renting her own place, implying that the money would be better spent on her buying a house."

Huang Lixin meant to make Zhang Xiaoya focus on the important part, but to the latter, it came off as her curling her lips, "With that little money she has, she wants to buy a house over there."

She scoffed a few times, "I think she’s dreaming."

"She doesn’t think that if she were to buy a house, we would sponsor her, does she?" Zhang Xiaoya truly believed that Huang Jing was dreaming, something that was absolutely impossible.

Huang Lixin really admired Zhang Xiaoya’s naivety, "Don’t worry, she won’t be eyeing your money."

"Are you sure?" Although Zhang Xiaoya knew that what Huang Lixin said was mostly right, she still felt uneasy, "It’s not a small amount of money."

"Yes, it’s not a small amount, but I think Huang Jing would rather completely cut ties with us than take the money."

"She is more worried that once she takes the money, we will expect her to take care of Huang Lei and her child."

"Our income is decent, but so is hers. According to Ho Zhen, Huang Jing’s income will only be higher than his, not lower."

"What would you choose in her place?"

"How much benefit can we offer her?"

"We could use familial ties to pressure her before, but now..." Huang Lixin let out a deep sigh.

He had an intuition that no matter how much they gave Huang Jing the cold shoulder, she wouldn’t care, or rather, she would just ignore it.

Huang Lixin suddenly had an idea, "I think we should change our attitude towards Huang Jing, we can’t keep going like this."

What the heck? Zhang Xiaoya really couldn’t understand what Huang Lixin was saying, what, change our attitude towards Huang Jing?

"You mean, we’re not going to be nice to that wretch, are we?" Zhang Xiaoya glared fiercely at Huang Lixin.

Huang Lixin knew such a response would upset Zhang Xiaoya, but he had no choice but to say it.

"Do you think Ho Zhen is a reliable person?" Huang Lixin asked.

That didn’t need any consideration, Zhang Xiaoya quickly shook her head.

"Do you think Xiao Lei will make something of herself?" Upon thinking, he realized the standard was a bit hard to define, "Can she earn enough money to cover her expenses?"

That didn’t require any thought either, Zhang Xiaoya continued shaking her head; as Xiao Lei’s mother, she knew her daughter was a big spender and earning money was out of the question.

"If the men can’t be relied on and she doesn’t have the ability herself, who do you think she’ll be able to depend on after we’re gone?" Huang Lixin, of course, hoped that they could live longer.

But some things really aren’t as simple as they might wish, and requires more preparation to succeed.

"Count on whom?" Zhang Xiaoya had long since considered this and quickly made her choice, "I think you’re just a big fool."

"Xiao Lei won’t do, but there’s no reason her child won’t do."

"Think about it, Xiao Lei isn’t that dumb, or else how could Huang Jing be so outstanding?"

Huang Lixin of course agreed—he certainly thought Huang Lei was smart.

"Ho Zhen, despite having this or that issue with his family, managed to get into a prestigious university from such a small place and make it so far in a foreign company all by himself."

"He does have real strength and ability."

"Could their child possibly be any worse?"

"You’re not unaware of how much Huang Jing despises Xiao Lei, thinking that we are biased."

Zhang Xiaoya didn’t feel like she was a biased mother, reasoning that if Huang Lei hadn’t had poor health since childhood, she would definitely have been more successful than Huang Jing.

It was because Huang Jing, her twin sister, had taken away all the nutrients when they were in the womb, that Huang Lei ended up with poor health right from birth.

Yet this girl didn’t feel at all guilty about it, a true ingrate.

In any case, no matter how accomplished Huang Jing was, Zhang Xiaoya just didn’t like her.

"Could she be nice to Xiao Lei?" Zhang Xiaoya certainly didn’t think Huang Jing would treat Huang Lei well.

"She knows Xiao Lei needs money for her wedding, but she still goes abroad for fun."

"Yes, I admit Xiao Lei’s family hasn’t done enough, but would Ho Zhen have broken up with Huang Jing if she really had no issues?"

"I think the problem lies with her, what man can tolerate a woman who works overtime all the time?"

"I’ve thought it over, now that Xiao Lei has a child, we are still young, we can definitely raise an accomplished child for her."

"Xiao Lei is a special case, so she’s not very outstanding, but didn’t we raise Huang Jing, and whether it was the Huang family or the Zhang Family, wasn’t she the most outstanding one?"

Even if it was hard to admit, it was undeniable that Huang Jing was indeed quite outstanding.

"How can a resentful younger sister be closer than one’s own child?" Zhang Xiaoya knew that after her analysis, Huang Lixin would also know how to choose.

After thinking for a while, Huang Lixin also felt that this approach was best for Huang Lei.

After all, if they really had to please Huang Jing, it would simply be too exhausting—this girl had become much more troublesome than before.

He grunted in agreement, "Right, your reasoning is all correct, once Xiao Lei has the child and you’ve retired, then you can go there to take care of the child."

"Let’s not let that side take care of the child, the child should carry our surname." Huang Lixin would not leave the planning to the Ho family.

After all, the Ho family was quite displeased that Huang Lei’s baby would carry the Huang surname, but they had no choice since they didn’t have the money for a house or a dowry, and had to agree.

Having the child carry the Huang surname was just the first step. To ensure the child grew up fully loyal to the Huang family, they must be raised under the Huang family’s care.

Zhang Xiaoya grunted in agreement, "Of course, otherwise our three-bedroom apartment will just end up benefiting someone else."

Although they had met only once, the worldly and wise Huang Lixin and his wife knew well that the Ho senior couple was not easy to deal with, being the type that tended to take advantage of others.

The Huangs were certain that Huang Lei was no match for that elderly couple, especially since Ho Zhen did not stand by Huang Lei’s side.

To protect Huang Lei from being bullied by the Ho family, the Huang family had to stand behind her and give her support.

"Right, remember to have Huang Jing present when buying the house," Huang Lixin repeatedly reminded Zhang Xiaoya.
