Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Brother-in-law is the Ex 98_1

Huang Jing received the photo sent by Zhang Xiaoya and was not surprised at all.

Huang Lei noticed that there was a man next to her who looked promising, and it was certain that he would take a photo, and then let Zhang Xiaoya ask her about it.

Huang Jing, "A colleague from work, easy to get along with. I had nowhere to go for the holiday, so it was perfect for us to form a group and take a trip together."

In fact, she knew what Zhang Xiaoya meant by sending this photo, if not to inquire about her relationship with Shen Lan.

Regarding this, she could only say that it was a bit more than ordinary friends, but if you were to consider them a couple, Huang Jing could only laugh and say, why are male gods called male gods? It’s precisely because male gods do not descend to the human world.

If they were to fall to earth, could they still be male gods?

Seeing that Huang Jing replied they were just ordinary friends, Zhang Xiaoya didn’t believe it at all.

Huang Jing also knew Zhang Xiaoya didn’t believe it, but there was nothing she could do, as they really didn’t have any kind of relationship.

Huang Jing couldn’t be bothered to explain any further, and as for the information about Shen Lan that Zhang Xiaoya wanted to know, she kept to herself.

She could guarantee that what she had just told Zhang Xiaoya would immediately be relayed to Huang Lei, and maybe even be exaggerated.

Regarding their behavior, Huang Jing could only say that she truly did not need it.

Zhang Xiaoya was really unhappy with Huang Jing’s attitude, expressing grievance that Huang Jing was now not even close to her own mother.

Reading the pitiful words sent by Zhang Xiaoya, Huang Jing could only smile. Why wasn’t she close to her? Had she ever considered her own reasons?

Forget it, hoping that Zhang Xiaoya would understand was less likely than completely abandoning the thought of being intimate with her.

Even though Huang Lei had done such excessive things, she still remembered the eldest daughter’s preferences, buying all the things she liked to eat.

If someone likes to play the victim, then let her be Lin Daiyu for once. Anyway, she has Huang Lixin by her side, who will surely comfort her well and not let her be too heartbroken.

Zhang Xiaoya, seeing that Huang Jing really wasn’t responding to her, could only purse her lips and tell Huang Lei that Huang Jing said they were just ordinary friends.

Seeing the message sent by Zhang Xiaoya, Huang Lei pursed her lips and cursed inwardly, calling her a big fool, as stupid as one could possibly be.

Huang Lei’s face quickly fell again. She was unsure about the attitude the Ho Family would have toward her this time around, and she didn’t expect anything good.

On the other hand, Huang Jing could just go on a trip whenever she mentioned it, and it made her feel deeply that women really don’t have to get married.

Why get married, to be worked to the bone, with life a complete mess, and a man will never appreciate you, only pointing out where you’re not good enough.

Although she regretted why she got married, she also knew that without marriage, with her salary, she wouldn’t be able to survive in this city.

The high monthly rent among other expenses was really more than she could afford.

Thinking about her pitiful monthly income, Huang Lei hoped to increase her earnings, but the question of how to do so was a problem.

She looked around her circle of friends, wanting to consult someone, yet helplessly realized there was no one to turn to.

They were all people who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun. Asking them how to increase income would only make them laugh.

It wasn’t that there was nobody to ask, like Huang Jing, but she hesitated.

She truly didn’t know how to start the conversation, and was more worried that the other party wouldn’t respond. Even though they had become friends again, they were basically like strangers.

But if you ask her, she didn’t know who else she could turn to, so helplessly, she took out her phone to consult Huang Jing.

Huang Jing saw Huang Lei’s profile picture pulsing, and instinctively didn’t want to click on it, but then thought better and decided to look.

If it was some sour words, she wouldn’t respond, only to see the other party asking her how to increase her salary.

Huang Jing really was at a loss; the young lady actually started to care about getting a pay raise?

Huang Jing thought for a moment; this question couldn’t be left unanswered, wasn’t it an obvious handle?

Huang Jing considered: Enhance your professional capabilities—if you don’t know what kind of work you’re good at, then I’m helpless, or maybe learn more things, as skills never weigh you down.

Huang Jing: Or maybe learn a language?

Learn a language? Huang Lei couldn’t help but recall the pain of studying English back then. She was younger and quicker-witted at the time, and learning English was nothing but a headache.

And now she is actually being asked to learn a language, the look of despair on Huang Lei’s face was clear; she had been quite happy when Huang Jing gave her a reply.

But the reply she received made her feel so helpless. Huang Lei bit her lip: I feel I don’t have the brains for that.

Huang Lei remembered that Huang Jing worked as a programmer and earned a lot of money, way more than Ho Zhen.

It didn’t make sense that Huang Jing could be a programmer and she couldn’t.

With this thought, Huang Lei straightforwardly asked, What do you think if I learn computer science and become a programmer like you?

After making the suggestion, Huang Jing figured Huang Lei wouldn’t be happy, since she hated studying that.

But contrary to expectations, she didn’t agree to learn a language; instead, she asked to study computer science and become a programmer.

Knowing Huang Lei was a proud person, Huang Jing just hadn’t expected her to show such arrogance, honestly not knowing what to say.

"It’s true what they say, walk enough nights and you’ll meet all sorts of people," Huang Jing could only sigh.

Just as Ho Zhen finished replying to a message, he heard what Huang Jing said, "What’s up?"

Did you bump into someone? Ho Zhen looked around and, not seeing any colleagues, was rather puzzled.

"My sister asked me if there was a way to increase her salary. I said she could learn a language, but she replied she hoped to learn some computer science and become a programmer," Huang Jing explained with a sigh.

Ho Zhen also laughed. "Doesn’t she know that code is in English too?"

"She must think being a programmer equates to high salary," Ho Zhen thought it was very likely.

"That’s exactly why she’s going for it." Huang Jing knew Huang Lei’s way of thinking. "Since she asked, I can’t just throw cold water on her ambition."

The point was, even if you did throw cold water, the other person wouldn’t appreciate it.

Huang Jing: Although it’s challenging, everyone starts from zero. If you have confidence in yourself, then go learn—it’s just going to be a bit tough.

Some things aren’t necessarily related to talent. Many programmers are quite average when it comes to talent; it’s just perseverance and patience that keep them going.

Huang Lei indeed doesn’t have that patience, but no matter how much is said, it’s not the same as experiencing it firsthand.

Huang Jing: Right, coding is done in English; you should learn more English related to computing.

Huang Jing: Then work hard, and good luck.

Offering this kind of moral support was something Huang Jing could do effortlessly, without any problem at all.

Seeing even Huang Jing’s supportive attitude, Huang Lei was so excited, repeatedly assuring: I can definitely do it, I can definitely do it.

As for someone’s proactive attitude, having heard it countless times from childhood until now, Huang Jing recalled how every time promises were made, they were never kept.

This time it would probably be the same fleeting enthusiasm. Huang Jing made a cheering gesture and then dropped the subject.

For her, the upcoming vacation was what truly brought happiness and excitement. As for the rest, it really didn’t matter.
