Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Brother-in-law is the Ex 58_1

"This is no good, that’s no good?" Xia Ke couldn’t quite understand what Huang Jing was actually trying to express.

"If Huang Lei doesn’t go abroad and stays in the country, even if Huang Lixin is willing to go all out, it’s unlikely that he can find her a decent job, given her last stunt," she said.

At least not within the system, where no one would be happy to do them a favor. Lacking capability and with a princess attitude.

Though Huang Lixin hasn’t reached retirement age yet, the likelihood of him getting promoted further has almost dropped to zero.

As for work outside the system, Huang Lei wouldn’t like it. She thinks the pressure is too high, the income too low, and the benefits poor.

In any case, the three members of the Huang family wouldn’t be satisfied. "Huang Lei without a job, all of her expenses are dependent on her parents."

"Her expenses are really..."

"When the old couple gets sick, although most of their medical expenses can be reimbursed, who will pay for the nourishments?"

"In order to live better, they will definitely need to take supplements, so their spendthrift daughter will have money, and inevitably, they will turn to me."

"If Huang Lei goes abroad to study, the money they spend will definitely not be a small amount, and all of their money will be almost drained."

"If they give all their assets to Huang Lei, when they get old and their health deteriorates, who can they turn to?"

"They will certainly turn to those who stay in the country."

"Who knows, they non-stop criticize me for being a failure, that I’m not as successful as Huang Lei, saying, after she studies abroad, she will stay in America to work, live, and learn."

"Oh, right, if she marries a man from a well-off family, I really put in both money and effort, but still don’t end up with anything good."

"Anyway, whether Huang Lei stays in the country or not, I am going to work abroad."

"Whatever happens to them then, I don’t want to worry about it."

"After they turn sixty, I’ll mail money to them every month." Huang Jing absolutely won’t shirk the responsibility of caring for the elderly.

"But I can’t fulfill any additional demands," Huang Jing sighed deeply.

"It’s really a mess." As she passed a trash can, she casually threw the cup in her hand into it.

Huang Jing, who had just bid farewell to Xia Ke, had just walked out of the elevator when her mobile phone rang. She picked it up and couldn’t help but freeze.

The jumping number on her phone was an unfamiliar one, but deep down, her memory told her it was Ho Zhen’s parents’ phone number.

She could guess the reason for the call. The question was, why would they call her?

Huang Jing stretched out her hand to decline the call, then blocked the number.

It was either lambasting the Huang family for being detestable or begging pitifully, making themselves look lowly, hoping she would continue to be with Ho Zhen.

It had to be admitted, the Ho family’s bottom line was truly beyond what Huang Jing could have imagined.

To deal with such people, there was no need for too much talk. In fact, there was no need for talk at all, just simply ignore them.

They could act pitiful, shirk responsibility, and vehemently promise to properly discipline Ho Zhen. In any case, it all had nothing to do with her anymore.

To the man who betrayed her, Huang Jing only wished to say, let each lead their own life peacefully. Those who can enjoy the view from the mountaintop should stay there, and those who can only be in the valley should remain content at the bottom, not always thinking about people and things that don’t concern them.

An afternoon went by, and Huang Jing’s phone was really busy, with an untold number of calls coming in.

For all these calls, Huang Jing had a simple approach—she let the phone ring for a few seconds, then cut them off without any desire to answer.

When Ho Zhen heard the busy signal on the other end of the phone, he handed the mobile back to his colleague. The colleague took it and asked, "They didn’t answer?"

Ho Zhen grunted in affirmation, "Probably in a meeting."

A colleague let out an "Oh," "Who are you calling?"

Ho Zhen dared not tell the truth to his colleague; many of them had seen Huang Jing before. When he had broken up with her and started dating Huang Lei, there was a lot of finger-pointing and whispering among them.

If they knew that he was now trying to get back together with Huang Jing, he couldn’t bear to think of what they might say behind his back.

Especially since Huang Jing was ignoring him, if his colleagues found out, they would not hesitate to mock him mercilessly.

Wondering whether his parents had heard back from their call to Huang Jing, Ho Zhen picked up his phone and headed for the stairwell to make a call and ask.

As soon as Ho Zhen stepped out of the office, someone started discussing, "Did you know Ho Zhen got dumped, he’s single now."

"I bet he’s calling Huang Jing."

This news shocked everyone in the office, "But isn’t it said that his girlfriend was pregnant?"

"And they were supposed to get married on Labor Day weekend, right?"

Regardless of whether they respected his behavior or not, they had to admit, the guy had some tricks up his sleeve to have both sisters smitten with him.

Then there’s that woman, fully aware that Ho Zhen was her brother-in-law, and still making a move on him, really crossing the line.

Everybody thought these two should just stay together, to avoid causing more scandals. But unexpectedly, they broke up just before getting married, which was truly bizarre.

"I don’t know exactly why they broke up," disclosed the informer, it was really the content of Ho Zhen’s wife’s WeChat Moments that he saw.

To prove his point, he pulled up Huang Lei’s WeChat Moments for everyone to see.

There was no time for anyone to ask why he had access to Ho Zhen’s wife’s, no wait, his ex’s Moments.

Everyone stared at the content for a while without speaking, but several people were heard swallowing hard.

"I remember she was several months pregnant."

"Yeah, it was starting to show." Someone had seen Huang Lei at the beginning of the month, "It wasn’t very obvious, but you could tell."

"To abort the baby now, it’s not just physically damaging, it’s ruthless."

Not many people could have the heartlessness of Huang Lei at this point.

"If she wasn’t ruthless, how could she have stolen her own sister’s husband in the first place?"

An office member, who was on particularly bad terms with Ho Zhen, to the point of open hostility, spoke up venomously, "Everyone knows that the guy is just an empty suit. His abilities aren’t that great, of course she dumped him."

"He used to be so proud, claiming the woman he found could pay for a house here in full."

Anyone hearing this would find it really uncomfortable.

Yet, they didn’t know how to suppress their feelings. Not to mention they didn’t have a powerful Yue family like his; even among the locals, there were very few who could pay for a house in full.

"Now look what happened, she got bored with him and just kicked him to the curb."

This person seemed to think the statement wasn’t provocative enough and dropped a company name, "I remember that’s the company where Ho Zhen’s ex-girlfriend works, right?"

Someone hummed in agreement, "Yes, that’s the one. What about it?"

Why bring up this company out of the blue? There must be a reason.

"Nothing much, just that this company is offering staff welfare housing, selling at prices much lower than the market rate."

While the specific prices weren’t known yet, you’d expect a big company’s announcement to be genuine rather than a sham.

Moreover, if someone dared to bluff like that, would anyone want to work for that company?
