Chapter 155: Chapter 155: Brother-in-law is the Ex 55_1

Before sleeping, Huang Jing habitually checked her phone and found a message from an unknown number.

Well, by the content she could tell that other than Huang Lei, no one would message her.

Delete the message, block the number, Huang Jing took care of it all in one go.

What’s the point of reading messages that only upset you? Junk messages belong where they can stay—in the trash.

Huang Lei returned to her room and felt enraged at the thought of Huang Jing actually buying a house.

No matter if the house was paid in full or bought on mortgage, the relatives around them would surely only praise her for being able to buy a house at such a young age.

"It would have been perfectly fine if it were just me in the family, why the need for a Huang Jing?"

Ever since she was young, Huang Lei had despised Huang Jing, competing over food and drink, even though between the two sisters, she was the one who got the most benefits.

But in Huang Lei’s eyes, if Huang Jing didn’t exist, all those things would be hers alone—there’d be no need to share at all.

Later, when they grew up and went to school, Huang Lei’s hatred for Huang Jing grew stronger. If it weren’t for her, her grades wouldn’t be so poor, and she would have done well enough to get into a prestigious university.

After graduation, she would definitely find a good job. In any case, she would be doing better than Huang Jing, not worse.

If she had been the only child, Huang Lei believed she would definitely have been both beautiful and intelligent.

Then, wouldn’t there have been many men pursuing her? Could she then become a laughingstock?

Huang Lei became more angry the more she thought about it. When a person gets angry, they want to vent, and in the past, she would have called some friends to go to the bar and relax with drinks.

But now, she didn’t want to go to the bar, didn’t want to see those people sneering at her, didn’t want to let them see her disgrace.

More importantly, she now lacked money, how could she go play at the bar?

Before she could let several admirers pay for her, but since she announced her engagement, all the men who used to invite her out for meals and to hang out had disappeared.

As for their whereabouts, Huang Lei wasn’t completely oblivious; some kind soul would post on social media about where they went to play, which new places they checked into, where they traveled to.

It’s fair to say that during the days she was away in Shencheng, those people lived comfortably, eating, playing, and enjoying life without any trouble welcoming new members.

As for her, the old-timer, Huang Lei switched to the group chat, a once lively chat now truly quiet. The last conversation was when she announced in the chat that her wedding was called off, and then everyone briefly chatted about the weather.

Following that, the group fell into a silence that lasts to this day, with no one speaking up, let alone someone messaging her privately to offer some consolation.

Not to mention anyone suggesting that they should get together for a meal, knowing that in the past, whenever anyone in the group had something happy or sad to share, they would gather for a meal.

Yet she had an abortion and called off her wedding, both significant events, but there was no comfort from anyone.

Looking at the quiet chat, Huang Lei really wanted to curse everyone out loud, but on second thought, she decided against it.

She knew that those people must have their own new groups, new companions, just without her.

Such maneuvers, in the past, were something Huang Lei played quite skillfully—it’s uncountable how many times she did it.

And now, to have it used against her was distinctly uncomfortable.

"Forget it." Huang Lei sighed in resignation, "Anyway, I am preparing to study abroad. Whether I keep in touch with them in the future is uncertain."

Huang Lei felt she must study abroad to show those who looked down on her that she was no fool; she just hadn’t tried hard before.

In short, as long as she started trying, nothing else mattered, including Huang Jing.

"I’m also silly, why should I waste my time and energy cursing them."

"It’s really a waste to spend even a minute on them," Huang Lei said fiercely.

"I should see what I need to prepare for studying abroad."

Before, she only mentioned the idea of studying abroad, but she really didn’t know the actual process involved.

But now, she needed to brace herself and start working hard.

Just now, she had noticed that Huang Lixin probably thought she might not be able to receive an acceptance letter from a foreign university.

As for Huang Jing, she surely thought the same, always looking down on her.

Otherwise, why didn’t Huang Jing reply to her text messages, which were truly venomous? It’s because she thought everything she said was nonsense.

Huang Jing went to the study to look for information on what she needed to prepare for studying abroad.

After searching for a while, she couldn’t find the answers she was looking for. After thinking for a bit, she remembered a friend mentioning that you could use an intermediary for studying abroad.

Although she knew people who had gone abroad through such intermediaries, she didn’t want to contact them.

In this internet age, contact information was always just a few clicks away. Huang Jing started looking for study abroad intermediaries online.

It didn’t take long for her to find the contact details for several study abroad intermediaries on the web.

She quickly got in touch with them, briefly explained her situation, and consulted on how to choose a school to study abroad.

Huang Jing didn’t expect that not replying to her messages would actually spur Huang Lei to start looking for intermediaries online overnight.

However, even if she knew, she wouldn’t care. Getting an intermediary might make going abroad easier, but it still depended on her own abilities.

If she didn’t put in the effort, even with a top-notch intermediary, she’d only end up at an average university.

Huang Jing was very skeptical about Huang Lei actually getting serious. It’s easy to shout slogans, but when it comes to real effort, she shouldn’t hold her breath; it would probably just be a fleeting enthusiasm.

Huang Lei, looking at the various chat windows and their contents, opened her mouth in shock, "Is studying abroad really this complicated?"

She remembered an acquaintance who was a total failure, whose grades were even worse than hers, who managed to go abroad to study. If that loser could go, there was no reason she couldn’t, right?

After thinking it over for a while, Huang Lei figured she probably hadn’t found one of those impressive agencies, otherwise, why would she need all this stuff?

Huang Lei knew that when it came to studying, not only was she out of her depth, but she also didn’t know how long her enthusiasm would last. So, she needed to find an agency that could guarantee her a spot to study abroad.

With a helpless sigh, Huang Lei resigned herself, "Fine, I’ll have to ask someone."

The intermediaries found online were just average; she would have to go through acquaintances after all.

After some effort, Huang Lei got the contact information for one intermediary.

Following a chat, the outcome was promising; they could definitely send her abroad to study without the need for complex tests like IELTS.

The problem was, the cost of going abroad wasn’t just a little expensive, it was very expensive, making her gasp in shock.

She finally understood how that failure with such poor grades managed to study abroad.

Although going abroad this way could be much less of a hassle, and she wouldn’t need to study hard, it would cost a great deal of money.

Huang Lei wasn’t sure if Huang Lixin and his wife would be willing to fork out that amount of money.

If they weren’t willing to pay, then she would have to strive on her own.

Thinking of the materials she had mentioned earlier and the exams she needed to pass, she realized she had to prepare each one diligently.

Her English had never been good to begin with, and she hadn’t used it in so long, she had no idea how much she could score now.
