Chapter 133: Chapter 133: Brother-in-law is the Ex 33_1

Zhang Xiaoya, although suspicious, wondered why Huang Lixin could convince Huang Jing to change her mind.

But it was not important; what was important was to confirm the time with Huang Jing first, as she still needed to get back to work and finish her last shift.

At the same time, she had to work hard to earn money, or else how could she renovate the house? Zhang Xiaoya felt that the pressure on her was really immense.

To be able to resolve this matter sooner would mean getting back sooner, and that was what mattered most.

Picking up her phone, she called Huang Jing again, efficiently giving her the time and place: "Remember not to be late."

Huang Jing was quite accustomed to Zhang Xiaoya’s haughty attitude: "When the money is in place, so will I be."

Again, it was about money, and Zhang Xiaoya felt a throbbing headache coming on: "Didn’t your dad settle things with you?"

Settle things? Huang Jing laughed: "Do you think he has the money to give me?"

Zhang Xiaoya wanted to say, didn’t your father take money out of his secret stash for you? Just from Huang Lixin’s attitude earlier, Zhang Xiaoya’s first reaction was that Huang Lixin had given money.

But it turned out that Huang Jing claimed she had not received the money, which made Zhang Xiaoya begin to hesitate: "Then your father called you."

Huang Jing knew that Zhang Xiaoya was aware of Huang Lixin’s secret stash but had no concrete evidence or didn’t dare make a big deal out of it.

But now, the situation was different; the Huang family was short on money, and in the circumstances where everyone was trying to make money, Zhang Xiaoya would definitely focus on Huang Lixin’s secret stash.

She must be wanting to make a fortune from there, but that was between her and her husband, and Huang Jing wouldn’t get involved.

Efficiently, Huang Jing sent a message to Huang Lixin via the computer chat software, stating that Zhang Xiaoya suspected he had given money, and she insisted she had not received any.

Huang Jing: "Actually, you should feel lucky that I haven’t shared this information with Ho Zhen."

Huang Jing: "I think you haven’t told Ho Zhen that this house is actually for Huang Lei, have you?"

Huang Jing: "You just want Ho Zhen to be anxious, to not only treat Huang Lei well but to treat you two favorably; there’s no other way."

Even if Ho Zhen was fed up, and unsatisfied with the Huang family, he would still have to endure because of the money.

Huang Jing: "So this money, of course, you have to pay."

Zhang Xiaoya did not expect Huang Jing to use this as a threat: "You, how can you assure that you won’t pass the word to Ho Zhen?"

Zhang Xiaoya: "After all, if Ho Zhen knows, we will certainly have a fallout."

Huang Jing: "Then can you guarantee that Huang Lei won’t let it slip out?"

Huang Jing: "Honestly, even if Ho Zhen finds out, you can cancel the notarization, and you can sell the house; after all, it’s yours."

Zhang Xiaoya suspiciously asked: "You?"

Huang Jing knew Zhang Xiaoya would be suspicious: "A person who could steal her own sister’s man, a person who could get involved with her girlfriend’s older sister, isn’t that just a scumbag and a home-wrecker? They should be locked together for life instead of ruining others."

Knowing that talking about Huang Lei like this would upset Zhang Xiaoya, but what could she do? After all, it was the truth.

Zhang Xiaoya was very uncomfortable inside: "If it weren’t for your sole focus on work, would Ho Zhen have had an affair?"

Ha, so in the end, it’s her fault too, Huang Jing was unapologetic: "Then your usual demeanor towards your man, so dominant, reprimanding him as if he’s one of your students."

Huang Jing: "Is it that if a Jie Yuhua suddenly appeared by your man’s side, by your logic, that would be fine too, all your fault?"

Zhang Xiaoya didn’t expect that her casual remark would provoke such a rebuttal from Huang Jing, angering her to no end.

Zhang Xiaoya also retorted unapologetically: "Is that how you talk to someone?"

Huang Jing: I’m just following your logic, did I say anything wrong?

Huang Jing: Are you not displaying this attitude? If you say that one side is busy with work, it justifies the other side being idle and having an affair.

Huang Jing: Ho Zhen has to go to work and is always on business trips, Huang Lei doesn’t work, so does that mean Huang Lei can develop new relationships?

Huang Jing: The reason being Ho Zhen is too busy with work to take care of Huang Lei.

Zhang Xiaoya was so infuriated by Huang Jing’s twisted logic: Is everything you say twisted?

Huang Jing scoffed: How comes when I follow your logic, it’s twisted, but when you speak, it’s all correct? Talk about double standards.

Zhang Xiaoya took a deep breath and chose not to continue arguing with Huang Jing, knowing that if things got escalated, she would be seen as irrational.

Especially certain things that must not be let known to Ho Zhen, otherwise, there would definitely be disputes.

Zhang Xiaoya didn’t necessarily want Ho Zhen to be Huang Lei’s man, but under the current circumstances, there couldn’t be more waves.

Zhang Xiaoya didn’t want to keep talking to Huang Jing: Fine, it’s just two thousand, I’ll give it to you. I’ve never seen anyone as greedy as you.

Greedy? Huang Jing was amused: How is this greedy? I’m asking for rightful compensation. Do I not need money for taking a half-day off?

Huang Jing: And remember, I’m only taking half a day off. The notary office has working hours, so plan accordingly and make sure the miss doesn’t oversleep and waste time.

Zhang Xiaoya, recalling Huang Lei’s temper, suggested: How about we change it to the afternoon?

Huang Jing didn’t care: Whatever you decide is fine with me. I’ll just take half a day off and leave on time.

After finishing her point, Huang Jing fell silent, and soon enough, Zhang Xiaoya transferred two thousand yuan in service fees to her.

Xia Ke had been watching the whole time and seeing Zhang Xiaoya actually transfer the money, gave a thumbs up, "Impressive, you really managed to get the money."

"Just took advantage of them. They were worried about what if I backed out, weren’t they?"

"Although a house is good, what about Huang Lei’s personality?" Instead of giving Huang Lei more things, it’s better to teach her how to stand on her own.

Maybe at this moment, they’re thinking that Huang Lei is almost useless, and Ho Zhen is unreliable, so they might as well focus on nurturing the child in Huang Lei’s womb.

Thinking about that pampered child, Huang Jing could only sigh helplessly. The child is smart, after all, neither Huang Lei nor Ho Zhen is a fool.

With proper upbringing, of course, they won’t fall short, but the problem is, Zhang Xiaoya is a good teacher, but not a qualified mother or grandmother.

If she thinks something is good, she will definitely spoil the child, and even the smartest child, if coddled from a young age, won’t have a bright future.

Huang Lei is ruined by indulgence; her child is raised to be even more useless. Trying to salvage them is less realistic than simply having another child and starting over.

"It’s not like, with Huang Lei having a child, they can raise that child," Xia Ke also felt that instead of trying to change Huang Lei, they might as well think about how to bring up her child.

Huang Jing chuckled, "Do you think raising a child is easy?"

"Will they learn from Huang Lei’s failure?"

"No," Huang Jing was certain, "Maybe they’ll even think that Huang Lei’s lack of success is due to poor health."

"Look at me." Huang Jing pointed at herself, "Maybe in their hearts, they’ll think they are capable of raising kids. After all, they’ve raised me, right?"

"Forget it, whether the child turns out good or not, it’s their worry to bear. I can’t be bothered with that."

Perhaps, if by some chance Huang Lixin and the others learn from their mistakes and become stricter with Huang Lei’s son, though the likelihood seems slim, it’s not entirely without opportunity.

To this, Huang Jing could only say, "If that happens, it wouldn’t be too bad. At least they could rest assured that when Huang Lei gets old, she won’t have to worry about her retirement."
