Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 1385 - Chapter 1385 Chapter 1357 I Really Envy You Guys

Chapter 1385: Chapter 1357: I Really Envy You Guys Chapter 1385: Chapter 1357: I Really Envy You Guys To say that Flora Jim entangled herself with Arlong as a return of kindness with enmity might be an overstatement, but her current actions indeed wronged Kiara, yet she herself couldn’t feel it. On the contrary, it was her younger sister, Yena Jim, who realized this.

Mario Yuno nodded; he agreed with what Kiara said.

“Although Flora Jim’s actions could be described as irresistible, and one could understand that she and Arlong are deeply in love, a relationship that is too self-centered and fails to consider the feelings of others is not right. A simple ‘thank you’ was all you received for your kindness to her, with no substance in return. Moreover, she has Arlong completely bewitched. This woman is truly something else,” Mario Yuno said.

Mario Yuno had always disliked Flora Jim, not because of her past but because she was overly self-absorbed. She would verbally express her gratitude to those who did her favors, but once she turned around, she only looked after her own interests.

For instance, when Kiara cured her younger sister, Flora Jim was all thanks and displayed willingness to repay the kindness in any way possible. But thereafter, she quickly got together with Arlong, regardless of Kiara’s feelings. That alone was bad enough, but after Kiara expressed indifference to their relationship, Flora Jim couldn’t wait to get away from Kiara and made no attempt to show proof of her sincerity.

Of course, it isn’t to say that Flora Jim is all that bad, but rather that she’s been involved in public relations for too long, focusing on maximizing personal benefit. Unable to return a favor, she decided to run away from it, and for that alone, Mario Yuno despised her.

“Her love with Arlong will not die; it will just wither away gradually,” he remarked.

“If Flora Jim is full of schemes, what about her sister Yayaka, who sent the flowers? Is she sincerely trying to express her gratitude to you, or is she trying to earn points for her sister with her actions?” Mario Yuno asked in curiosity. If it’s the latter, it would be a total upheaval of values. If a girl as young as 12 or 13 is already developing into a schemer, what in the world is still believable?

“Personally, I’m inclined to believe the former. If Yayaka wanted to earn favor for her sister, she likely wouldn’t reveal the fact that she hasn’t been brainwashed. She probably just genuinely wants to express her apology to me. Time will prove everything,” Kiara said.

Who is genuine, who is fake, only time will tell.

…

With Arlong’s situation temporarily resolved, Kiara should have immersed herself in her studies. Unfortunately, Wendy had been running a high fever for the past couple of days, and Kiara, feeling uneasy, took leave from Yuzo Joel to look after her baby at home.

This season, the children’s hospital saw many kids with colds and fevers, and getting an appointment with a specialist required a long wait.

Kiara carried Wendy in a sling on her chest. The little one had been feverish for two days now but still seemed to be in good spirits. Surrounding them were many other children with cooling patches on their foreheads, queuing up; without exception, worry was written on the faces of their parents.

Kiara reached out to touch her daughter’s cheeks, which were not as hot as before.

“You little rascal, how did you suddenly fall ill like this?”

“Daddy~” Wendy smiled at her mother.

“Daddy won’t be back for two more days, but Mommy will take good care of you,” Kiara reassured her.

Mario Yuno had been in a bad mood because Wendy was sick, and to top it off, he was extremely busy with work. The day after the child fell ill, he received notice that he had to go on a business trip for a few days, with no fixed return date.

Many moms came alone with their kids, one hand holding their child and the other carrying medicine, all bustling about for the sake of their lives.

Accompanying Kiara to the hospital was another sister-in-law from the same ward, Ruby Lynn, whose child was also ill. They rode together in Kiara’s car. There was also Ruby’s twin sister, Iris Lynn, who claimed she was there to help out, but in reality, she wasn’t much help. She didn’t care for the baby or carry things. Instead, she sat next to Kiara, chatting nonstop.

Ruby Lynn went upstairs with her son to see a pediatric traditional Chinese medicine doctor, while Kiara, with Wendy and Iris Lynn, waited in the resting area for their turn with the internal medicine specialist.

As Kiara conversed with Wendy, Iris commented,

“Your child is so young, can she understand what you are saying?”

“Hmm,” Kiara responded indifferently, not wishing to waste her breath on these irrelevant people.

Although Iris and Ruby were twins, their personalities were quite different. Kiara actually preferred her neighbor, Ruby, who was amicable and pleasantly plump. She got along well with Kiara.

Iris, although identical to Ruby in appearance, had an annoying personality.

“This is a girl, right?” Iris guessed, looking at Kiara’s backpack and Wendy’s outfit. It was their first time meeting, and she didn’t know the specifics of Kiara’s husband’s job. Seeing that Kiara was quite young, she didn’t think Kiara’s husband could be an official of high rank. Iris, in her thirties and considering herself good at making friends, noticed Kiara’s nice car and wanted to chat more with her.

“Hmm.”

“Oh, girls are nice. They are less trouble. I have a son, and I really don’t like it. It’s exhausting. Daughters are much better. If the policy allowed it, I’d really wish I could have a daughter as well. I envy you first-time mothers who have girls. You can always try for a second child later!”

Kiara often heard such remarks and was particularly irked by them, including this time.

She glanced at Iris with her eyes, but Iris didn’t grasp the concept of “measure.” Thinking Kiara’s response confirmed her own thoughts, Iris continued on this annoying topic,

“These days, those who have daughters are considered blessed, unlike us who have these stinky boys. Not only do we have to buy houses and find daughters-in-law for our sons, but we also need to help them raise grandchildren. It’s not like you; you just dress up your child nicely, and that’s all.”

“Your spit is almost hitting my daughter’s face,” Kiara said, shifting away. Didn’t she see the look of disgust on Wendy’s face? So annoying.

Iris finally closed her mouth, but her face couldn’t hide the sense of superiority she took from the issue of having sons versus daughters.

Kiara was preoccupied with waiting for the doctor’s appointment and had no enthusiasm to engage with such a person. Arguing with this kind of person was simply a waste of life.

There are always some people who carry an inexplicable sense of superiority. Reproductive cancer in women is even more terrifying than in men.

After being rebutted by Kiara, Iris was quiet for less than 2 seconds before she began her pontificating anew,

“Even though I’m quite envious of you moms with daughters for having it easy, my mother-in-law keeps nagging in my ear, saying how fortunate I am for having a son on the first try, and how many conflicts it has spared me. Ah, if only she knew how hard it is for me to raise my son.”

Her comments thoroughly infuriated another mother sitting on the other side, holding her child. The mother’s little girl, who appeared to be about three or four years old, also had a fever patch on her forehead. Having a sick child was distressing enough, and encountering such a troublemaker pushed this mother over the edge.
