Chapter 131: Chapter 131: Brother-in-law is the Ex 31_1

Huang Jing turned on her phone as soon as she got off the plane, only to see that Zhang Xiaoya had made several calls to her and sent many messages on WeChat.

What’s the situation? Huang Jing thought for a moment, they had already made a scene in the family group chat that day, Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t possibly be asking her for money again, unless she didn’t care about losing face.

Even if she could throw caution to the wind for Huang Lei, shamelessly begging, Huang Lixin would never agree to it.

Xia Ke noticed Huang Jing staring at her phone, "What’s wrong?"

"My mom has been calling and messaging me." Huang Jing thought for a moment, "I’ll give her a call and see what’s up."

So many calls, there had to be something urgent, she couldn’t just ignore it.

She signaled Xia Ke to watch the luggage and Huang Jing found a quiet spot to call Zhang Xiaoya.

It didn’t take long for Huang Jing to come back with a look of frustration on her face.

Seeing her expression, Xia Ke’s first thought was that either Zhang Xiaoya or Huang Lei was causing trouble.

"What happened?" Xia Ke asked, concerned.

"She asked if I had gotten home yet, and then she wanted to schedule a time to have something notarized."

"I told her that I have work that day and I’m not taking a day off." Humph, really, what do they think of her? Someone they can summon or dismiss on a whim?

"Will they agree?" Xia Ke felt that the always haughty Huang family would definitely struggle to adapt.

"Whether they agree or not, it’s their problem."

"They want me to take time off? Sure, they can pay for the leave and the taxi fare."

"I’m reporting half a day off anyway, and with the taxi fare, it starts at 2000 yuan." Huang Jing didn’t think the price was too high.

Xia Ke also didn’t think the price was too high, "You should ask for it."

Although they could compensate with overtime, which was paid at 1.5 times the salary.

"My mom thinks all I care about is money." Remembering the rude words on the other end of the phone, "I just hung up on her."

"Really, she has the freedom to scold, but I have the freedom not to listen."

Anyway, that person is unhappy no matter what, so might as well make herself happy.

Damn, that’s bold, Xia Ke gave Huang Jing a thumbs up, "Ever since you fell out with Ho Zhen, I think you’ve really changed a lot."

If it had been before, whether it was the Huang family’s or the Ho family’s affairs, Huang Jing would have dealt with them seriously, without considering how much she lost.

"Yeah, I was always worried about making mistakes, about them being unhappy."

"Later I realized, no matter how well I did, they were never pleased, and if there was the slightest bit of dissatisfaction on their part, they would find all sorts of faults in me."

"Since that’s the case, I don’t think there’s any need to indulge them."

"We’re all humans, why should I live stifled, why can’t I make my own life happier?"

"Look how good my life is now." Huang Jing thought of something and suddenly couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"I bet my parents are still wondering if I bought them any gifts from my trip abroad."

Although Zhang Xiaoya didn’t express this, Huang Jing knew they would definitely be expecting something.

She really wanted to know what their expressions would be like when they discovered there were no gifts for them.

She was really looking forward to it, "Today I pissed my mom off big time, imagine if they found out I didn’t bring them any gifts."

"They’d probably be so angry they’d spit blood." Just thinking about that scene made Huang Jing especially happy.

Ah, ah, ah, I’m really looking forward to it, especially looking forward to it.

Zhang Xiaoya hadn’t expected that she’d finally get in touch with Huang Jing, only to find that the girl was such a money-grubber, demanding two thousand right off the bat.

How could this not infuriate her and make her stomp her feet in anger? To raise the money quickly, they had sold the old house for a price lower than their expectations.

Luckily, now that they had bought the house, they could consider the renovation and saving money slowly, but it was also time to start planning and figuring out ways to make money.

So when Huang Jing put forth such a demand, how could Zhang Xiaoya not get angry?

She had been thinking about how to make Huang Lixin and his wife very dissatisfied with Huang Jing, but she couldn’t find a good opportunity.

But then, to her surprise, Huang Jing, that fool, launched such a move, and Huang Lei secretly gloated, "Fools will be fools."

For a mere two thousand yuan, she had infuriated Zhang Xiaoya so much that it would be a dream for Huang Lei to compete with her.

She had been thinking about intensifying her efforts to sow discord between Huang Jing and the couple Huang Lixin.

Now, it looked entirely unnecessary, because Huang Jing was on a path to self-destruction, going further and further down that road.

With just a little instigation, Huang Lei was pleased to see Zhang Xiaoya’s expression become increasingly ugly, so she held back and didn’t bring it up again.

Zhang Xiaoya felt it was necessary to talk to Huang Lixin about it. Previously, Huang Lixin had hoped to reconcile with Huang Jing, which was a bad sign.

She had to make Huang Lixin realize that Huang Jing was an ingrate and that reconciling with her was utterly unnecessary.

Huang Jing knew that after hanging up on Zhang Xiaoya’s call, the latter would certainly be fuming and would definitely discuss the matter with Huang Lixin.

Therefore, when Huang Lixin called her, Huang Jing wasn’t surprised at all.

After picking up the phone, she heard Huang Lixin say, "I heard from your mom that she asked you to do something, and you asked for money?"

Huang Jing hummed in affirmation, "Yep, I’m supposed to do notarization during my work hours; shouldn’t I avoid getting my salary docked?"

Huang Jing, "The place I work is a bit far from the city center, and the notarization place, it’s at quite a distance; I need to take a taxi there."

Huang Jing, "A round trip by taxi costs a pretty penny."

Huang Jing, "This isn’t even my issue; it’s something for Huang Lei that you’re asking me to do, and I’m settling this money with you, is there a problem?"

Huang Lixin couldn’t say there wasn’t a problem, nor could he say there was one, so after a stiff pause he said, "Doesn’t your workplace offer annual leave?"

Huang Jing, "I have plans for my annual leave."

Huang Jing, "Why should I use it for Huang Lei? I’ve mentioned before, I don’t want the family’s money, but I shouldn’t lose out either, right?"

Huang Lixin took a deep breath, "I know, I’ll pay this money."

Forget it, Huang Lixin knew that Zhang Xiaoya wouldn’t pay, but Huang Jing wouldn’t appear without getting the money.

If money could solve the problem, there was no need to make a fuss. Huang Lixin promptly transferred a sum of money to Huang Jing.

After receiving the notification, Huang Jing immediately sent a screenshot to Huang Lixin, "Is this the money for taking leave to do the notarization?"

Huang Lixin, "Yes, that’s the money, don’t tell your mom."

Huang Jing instantly understood, this must be Huang Lixin’s private savings, "I won’t tell; keep your private savings safe."

Although Huang Jing didn’t know how much private savings Huang Lixin had, she could guess it was not a small amount.

Otherwise, how could he so readily offer two thousand without a second thought, given the meager pocket money he allowed himself each month?

This was definitely the pace of a growing kitty; only a wealthy man could be so generous.
