Chapter 184: Chapter 184: Brother-in-law is the Ex 84_1

Huang Jing had just met up with Xia Ke, ready to head to the cafeteria for a meal, when she received a call from her cousin.

Of course, she wasn’t surprised to see Fan Chen there; having an extra dining companion had become something Huang Jing had grown quite accustomed to.

They’d exchanged only a few pleasantries when her phone rang. Seeing the caller, she decided to answer after a brief hesitation.

She thought it might be Huang Lei complaining in the family chat again, accusing her of bullying her unemployed older sister, but she was stunned by the news she heard from the other end.

Huang Jing didn’t even remember when she hung up the call; she felt dizzy and disoriented.

Xia Ke could sense something was off and his heart sank. Hadn’t they just said Huang Lixin had a cerebral hemorrhage? Although his condition had stabilized and he was about to be discharged from the hospital,

anything related to the brain could not be taken lightly. Perhaps, in the blink of an eye, there could be a relapse.

Xia Ke gestured for Fan Chen to go get the food, knowing full well what both of them liked to eat.

Once again, Fan Chen felt abandoned as his girlfriend went to take care of Huang Jing, and he couldn’t help but feel aggrieved.

He had never imagined that his rival in love would be a woman, and to make matters worse, he couldn’t even protest.

Because protesting was pointless; his girlfriend simply ignored him.

The only thing Fan Chen felt grateful for was that they all worked in IT, which was busy work, and Huang Jing wasn’t someone who liked to cause trouble, so most of the time things were peaceful.

"Remember to come help me carry some things later," Fan Chen grabbed Xia Ke. It wasn’t that he wanted to cause trouble, but the amount of food for the three of them was no small matter and truly difficult to carry alone.

Just as Xia Ke was about to agree, he saw someone out of the corner of his eye, "I’ll find you some help."

Find some help? Just as Fan Chen was about to ask who, he saw Xia Ke waving in a certain direction, "God Shen, are you here for lunch too?"

Shen Lan had just finished his work and was feeling hungry, so he decided to grab some food before heading back to continue working.

He hadn’t expected to run into Fan Chen and the others. He paid extra attention to Huang Jing and guessed from her expression that the old man’s health must be pretty good.

"Alright, let’s go get the food together," Shen Lan said as he turned toward the food window. What could Fan Chen do?

He certainly didn’t have the courage to ask God Shen to wait; everyone knew how precious God Shen’s time was.

Seeing someone else helping with the food, Xia Ke found a quiet spot with Huang Jing, "What’s wrong?"

Huang Jing sighed in exasperation and recounted the foolish thing Huang Lei had done, "I really don’t know how her brain works."

Xia Ke was taken aback by Huang Lei’s stupidity and maliciousness, "Seriously, that’s idiotic and venomous. Is she really your older sister?"

The chasm between the sisters was truly vast, Xia Ke couldn’t help but lament.

"She’s my real sister," Huang Jing assured repeatedly, "If I could, I’d wish she weren’t my sister."

Being sisters with such a malicious person left Huang Jing with no choice, "But then again, it’s to be expected. She’s always schemed against me in the past."

"Now she knows I simply ignore her, and I ignore our parents as well, so she has no way to manipulate me, leaving her only option to target the old folks."

"But how could this fool not use her brain? It’s true my job is good and my income is fine, but that doesn’t mean I would just give up my inheritance."

"Who would think they have too much money?"

"Suddenly having several hundred thousand or a million more in assets, you really wouldn’t know how many years of hard work that could save."

If it were someone else, Huang Jing might consider giving up, not competing with her siblings, but it was Huang Lei, and she was not willing to let go,

She couldn’t just pick up and put down what belonged to her at her sister’s cunning whims, "I have no reason to give up what’s mine."

"And since she has already said that, I know the old couple well enough to be certain they would not have left without making preparations."

"Even if they didn’t make preparations, it doesn’t matter. I really wouldn’t mind calling the police and having a thorough investigation."

"If it turns out there is a problem, then I would inherit the elderly couple’s entire estate."

Wow, Huang Jing thought about this and couldn’t help but get excited, "That really is a lot of money."

"If Huang Lei knew about it, she would be furious to death, maybe even furious enough to vomit blood."

"If that were really the case, I should really thank her."

If things really turned out that way, Huang Jing felt that the original owner would be very happy.

Right, if Huang Lei really did harm Huang Lixin and his wife, could the law let her off? Of course, it wouldn’t.

Xia Ke was only concerned about one issue, "If you really get this money, how would you use it?"

Her intuition told her that Huang Jing would not really use this money for herself; she must have her own plans.

"What would I do with the money after getting it?" Huang Jing hadn’t thought that far.

Although she knew the likelihood was practically zero, there was no harm in dreaming, "I would probably establish a scholarship fund at the high school I attended."

Yes, that’s right, a scholarship fund. Why not at the university the original owner attended? Because high school students can’t go out and work, while it is easier for college students to earn money than for high school students.

Establish a scholarship fund? For Huang Jing’s decision, Xia Ke really was stunned, it was indeed an answer beyond her expectations.

"Yes, I want to establish a scholarship fund, the Huang Jing Scholarship. What do you think?"

"It would support students from families in difficult conditions who want to study." As for whether their grades are good or whether they are excellent, that’s not the main point.

The Huang Jing Scholarship? Xia Ke laughed, "A scholarship named after yourself, that’s really straightforward."

"But yes, of course, if you do a good deed, naturally you want your name to be remembered."

"At least let people know who gave them the scholarship they’re receiving."

So what if people say it’s showy? If they want to be showy, they can also establish scholarships; it’s not like it’s not possible.

Huang Jing didn’t explain further, not mentioning that establishing the Huang Jing Scholarship was to commemorate the original owner or anything like that.

Some things are better kept in the heart, to let more people know the name Huang Jing.

Fan Chen and Shen Lan came back carrying a bunch of dishes and happened to hear about the Huang Jing Scholarship, "What’s this, someone is setting up a scholarship?"

"We were just discussing what to do with a windfall, and Xiao Jing said she wanted to establish a scholarship in her name."

For Fan Chen and Shen Lan, who were once academic achievers, scholarships were nothing new.

"Rewarding good students?" Shen Lan sat down and placed the dishes each preferred in front of them.

"No, it doesn’t require good grades, just children from poor families who want to study are eligible."

"There are plenty of people eager to give money to students with good grades."

"I wouldn’t do the obvious charity; I would support those who need educational opportunities more."

Fan Chen heard someone speak like this for the first time, "A very unique scholarship." After thinking it over, he could only describe it with this word.
