Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Brother-in-law is the Ex 53_1

Huang Jing hung up the phone and couldn’t stop shaking her head.

Despite Huang Lixin’s constant complaints that Huang Lei didn’t like to study and that spending so much money to send her overseas for education would be a waste,

Huang Jing was certain that, in fact, Huang Lixin probably also wanted to send Huang Lei abroad to study.

Considering Huang Lei’s tarnished reputation, she might not be able to marry a man with good prospects, so it might be better for her to go abroad and see if there were suitable opportunities.

In a foreign country, no one knew about Huang Lei’s reputation; it was like starting over. Even if later on, the parents of the men she met learned of her past, so what?

As long as she could deceive the boys, what did it matter if their parents were angry or dissatisfied?

No matter how domineering the parents were, they would eventually give in. No parent could outfight their child, as was the case with her and her husband.

Huang Jing had them firmly under her thumb. Huang Lei had become so spoiled and willful was definitely related to Huang Lixin and his wife.

At home, no matter what, Huang Lixin and his wife would keep an eye on things and wouldn’t let Huang Jing suffer too much.

But going abroad, with Huang Lei’s temperament and her lack of domestic skills, she really needed to learn some discipline.

Otherwise, with her sharp tongue, she was always at risk of offending people. Not able to cook, was she going to eat out for every meal? Hire someone for cleaning?

Abroad, labor costs are truly expensive, and even if Huang Lixin and his wife could earn money and had savings, they might not be able to support it.

Being delicate and inept, could she really expect to immediately find a man with good prospects after going abroad?

Such a possibility wasn’t nonexistent, but the likelihood was similar to winning five million in the lottery.

Forget it, what did it have to do with her? These were for Huang Lixin and his wife to consider.

Wait, Huang Jing suddenly thought of a possibility. They couldn’t be aiming for her money, could they?

If that were the case, Huang Jing could only say, sorry, but she was someone who would owe a lot of money after buying a house.

Should she inform them now or wait until she got the house? Huang Jing pondered carefully.

After all, this was hardly a secret. A little investigation would reveal it.

Thinking this, Huang Jing picked up her phone and sent Huang Lixin a message, informing him about the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Huang Lixin looked across at his wife and daughter, who were staring at him with expectant eyes, and shook his head.

"You didn’t even mention it," Zhang Xiaoya said displeasedly to Huang Lixin.

Huang Lei also looked at Huang Lixin with disapproval. They had already discussed how to broach the subject of getting money from Huang Jing.

All their well-laid plans were thwarted by Huang Lixin’s reluctance.

Upon hearing these words, Huang Lixin’s face immediately darkened, "I can only say so much; if you’re capable, call her yourself."

"Ask for the money yourselves," he stood up and walked towards the room.

"You’re always blabbering behind my back, if you’re so capable, why can’t you speak for yourself?"

"Think you’re so clever?"

"You think you’re so smart, but look at the man you chose after all your deliberations."

Huang Lixin had previously thought Huang Jing’s words might have been a bit harsh.

But now he felt that Huang Jing was absolutely right: Huang Lei really was all looks and no brains.

It wasn’t that she had no brains, but they were all used for scheming trivial things and plotting against her parents and Huang Jing.

What use was it to plot against the three of them? His wife and he had already decided to leave the bulk of their wealth to Huang Lei, assuming Huang Jing, who was capable, wouldn’t mind.

Now Huang Jing had completely stepped out, letting the other three make a fuss without any intention of getting involved.

With Huang Jing no longer mediating, Huang Lixin now found Huang Lei to be increasingly unreasonable.

Huang Lei hadn’t expected that just because she threw her usual little temper, they were actually not paying attention to her.

Seeing Huang Lixin getting up and returning to his room, Huang Lei couldn’t help feeling anxious and looked toward Zhang Xiaoya.

Zhang Xiaoya also felt that Huang Lei’s words were a bit too much, and just as she was about to speak out, she saw Huang Lixin pick up his phone.

Huang Lixin took a sharp intake of breath when he saw the message from Huang Jing, "Xiao Jing is going to buy a house."

"Xiao Jing is going to buy a house?" Zhang Xiaoya hadn’t expected that right after giving up on buying a house in Shencheng, Huang Jing was actually going to buy one.

Huang Lei was also stunned, "She, how is she going to buy a house, how big of a house?"

"That wasn’t mentioned, but she also said it’s a benefit from her company, which makes it much cheaper than the market price."

Huang Lixin realized, whether it was true or not, no, it must be true, after all, whether to buy a house or not cannot be faked.

"Their company still has this benefit?" Zhang Xiaoya hesitated, knowing that many companies had long since done away with benefit housing.

"Yeah, their company is not small; it’s one of the leading ones." Huang Lixin hadn’t paid much attention to where Huang Jing worked before.

In his mind, unless it was a government agency, the job wasn’t considered very good, but he inquired about Huang Jing’s company the last time.

It was this inquiry that let him realize that Huang Jing’s company was no ordinary one.

"They also do it to attract talent." Huang Lixin quickly understood why the company was offering such a benefit.

Huang Lixin went to the study to look up some information and quickly found the answer online, "Yes, and the details about the community are there too."

In her heart, Zhang Xiaoya was incessantly praying, hoping that Huang Jing was just lying.

But to her surprise, Huang Lixin actually found the news online, along with details about the community.

She also rushed into the study to have a look, and seeing the content in the news, Zhang Xiaoya couldn’t help but think of the houses they had looked at in Shencheng with Huang Lei.

"The location of that place isn’t good." Huang Lei certainly scrutinized it closely, too.

Looking at the pictures on the webpage, Huang Lei was truly on the verge of exploding with anger, having thought that going abroad to study, she could overshadow Huang Jing.

But to her shock, in just a turn, Huang Jing threw out this news that she was going to buy a house in Shencheng, in a community that seemed quite nice to boot.

Huang Lei was naturally not content and hurriedly sought out its flaws.

"It’s close to her workplace, about a ten-minute drive," said Huang Lixin, knowing full well that Huang Lei would say such things out of dissatisfaction and bad mood.

But today, Huang Lixin just didn’t feel like comforting Huang Lei, let the person be unhappy if she wanted to be unhappy.

"I wonder how big of a house she’s going to buy," said Zhang Xiaoya, suddenly intrigued.

That was a question Huang Jing had addressed, and Huang Lixin knew it too; even if he asked, Huang Jing wouldn’t give a straight answer.

"And what, you plan on giving her money if you ask?" Huang Lixin looked up at Zhang Xiaoya.

Give money? The comment made Zhang Xiaoya laugh, "You know our family’s situation, where would we get money to give her?"

"And isn’t she very capable? Doesn’t she have a high salary?"

"Now Xiao Lei is planning to go abroad to study, and that needs a lot of money. I think Xiao Jing wouldn’t be so inconsiderate."

Hmph, even if there was no matter of Xiao Lei studying abroad, they’d still have to give money.
