Kiara’s mother simply couldn’t be too satisfied with her daughter.
At this age, it’s not only about who uses how much money’s worth of skincare or what level their husbands are at, but also competitions over whose child is more successful.
When it comes to Giorno and Kiara, there’s no need to even speak about it; even among peers of Edward Wheeler ‘Bright Clarity’s caliber from Kiara’s mother’s side of the family with ordinary backgrounds, it’s rare to find children who achieve this much without their parents’ help, so Kiara’s mother has always held her head high.
It’s just her son that always gives her worries.
“Isn’t it a good thing he doesn’t go to school? Bright Clarity has talked to him before, Arlong wants to go there to find a grassroots-level workplace organization for some training.”
“Absolutely not! It’s fine for those who can’t get into university to bide their time for a couple of years, but he got in, why would he go there to join the throng?”
“Mum, are you trying to offend me? How is training the same as biding time? I’ll deduct a bag for you, your way of thinking has always been problematic…”
Kiara grabbed the bag’s strap, pretending to take it back, but Kiara’s mother snatched it and tried it on herself.
“Don’t nitpick! That’s not what I meant. But you know what you are like; with no degree to speak of, no talent whatsoever, what good would come out of going to such places?”
“No cosmetics for you either, what do you mean by ‘such places’?”
Kiara made a move to take back the cosmetics as well, leaving Kiara’s mother both frustrated and at a loss for words.
“…you know very well how your brother tends to slack off, why are you now speaking up for him?”
Kiara’s mother struggled to articulate her thoughts in her frustration.
“Are you trying to say, it’s not that you’re putting down my brother, but being realistic, that gold shines everywhere? That laziness leads to nowhere no matter where you go?” Kiara summarized accurately, and Kiara’s mother clapped her forehead, that was exactly the point!
People always see their own children in the best light, Kiara’s mother loved her son too, but love or not, she had to be objective. Arlong’s personal qualities were not just a little lower compared to others; Kiara’s mother had heard Uncle Liao Walker saying before that to make a good career nowadays, one must be truly outstanding, given that workplaces now have requirements for degrees and such, it would not be easy for Arlong to make something of himself.
“Actually, Camden and I have discussed this matter thoroughly before, listen to my analysis…”
Kiara rattled on with pros and cons, and initially, Kiara’s mother thought it wasn’t very feasible, but the more she listened, the more it seemed to make sense.
“…To sum up, with Arlong being the way he is, if you place him in university and the campus atmosphere is even slightly poor, he’ll compare eating and drinking with others, act like an Uncle, get into brawls, chase after girls, and before you know it, he’ll bring back a few grandsons for you, and not all from the same mother. That’s not the worst of it; what if he ends up with a broken arm or leg, or he ends up breaking someone else’s…”
Kiara’s vivid description sent a shiver down her mother’s spine, “No, your brother isn’t like that…”
“Isn’t he? Does he or does he not splurge money? Has he or has he not shown the desire to pull strings for a job? When he sees others in a luxury car, what’s his reaction? Does his eyes shine brighter than the cars on the road, wishing to drive one too?”
Kiara’s Mother, a professional at concept substitution, just needed to state a few truthful matters, making the following persuasion all too easy.
Sure enough, her mother’s expression turned grave, and she said no more.
Kiara pressed on.
“Would you rather he spend a few years growing spiritually, or would you rather he appears mature while merely marking time?”
“`
“But we’ve already secured admission to the university, if we don’t go…” Kiara’s mother was still hesitant.
“It’s not like we’re saying he can’t study, just to reserve his academic status and let him gain some experiences. Once he understands the hardships of life and becomes sensible, if he wants to study, he can go back to school. If he has the ability to retake a year, that’s even more impressive.”
“But going back to school after wasting this time… delaying will mean he’s older when he goes back to school, and he’ll be at a disadvantage whether it’s finding a job or a partner.” Kiara’s mother was still worried about her son’s future.
Kiara had anticipated these concerns and calmly continued rummaging through her luggage.
“What have you brought for me this time? I’ve told you, we don’t lack anything at home, there’s no need to keep bringing things.”
“I think you should take a look at this.” Kiara pulled out a thick scrapbook.
These were materials collected with the help of Jenny Bailey. Having a journalist friend was convenient for getting such rich resources.
“What’s this? I don’t like reading. Give it to Uncle Liao Walker.” Upon seeing her daughter handling a book-like item, Kiara’s mother quickly tried to pass it off, sharing her own dread of reading, a trait her son had inherited from her.
“You should take a look at this. Here, on a certain month and year, a rich second-generation university student caused a car accident while drunk driving, resulting in 2 deaths and one injury. Look at the photos of the crash site, tsk tsk tsk!”
As Kiara spoke, she pointed to the photos, causing her mother to shudder in fright. Kiara turned the page and continued, “And look at this one, a male university student suspected of using that… what, because his family couldn’t afford his expenses, resorted to robbery. Look at his remorse after being arrested. Let me read it to you: ‘I hate my mother the most for not disciplining me properly!’ And this one–”
“Stop reading!”
The thick volume of clippings was too immersive. Kiara had deliberately selected news about young people who had been inadequately supervised and got into trouble, scaring her mother pale. A lot of the graphic photos, taken by Jenny Bailey herself, were too gory to be published in the news but were harrowing to look at.
Kiara had intended for this effect; seeing that she has scared her mother, she flipped to a different section of the scrapbook that wasn’t as frightening, but still full of clippings.
“Now, take a look at the scrapbook made from their work. This is the comparison of the young guys before and after starting their jobs, and some are personal stories. Look, these kids used to have outrageous hairstyles and were non-mainstream. After some strict training, all of them have become talented.”
Kiara’s mother took a glance and sure enough, the guys looked like little hooligans before starting work. But after putting on uniforms and shaving their heads, they looked incredibly sharp and completely different, free from their former air of decadence.
The comparison made Kiara’s mother’s heart waver.
“Yes, you’re right.” Kiara’s mother had been convinced by Kiara.
“We need to find him an environment where he can grow. Time can be long or short. Being able to make a fundamental change in a person’s character, for better or worse, is something to consider. Why do you think beanstalks in the countryside need to be staked up?”
This analogy was vivid and engaging, and Kiara’s mother answered immediately.
“Without staking, wouldn’t they all grow together? There’d be fewer flowers and more insects, and surely a decreased yield. Also, if there’s no stake, picking the beans would be difficult.”
“So my brother is just like those beanstalks. If you don’t provide him with a form of support, he’s bound to grow all over the place.”
“Ah…”
This statement plunged Kiara’s mother into deep thought, especially during mealtime, as she watched her son wolf down his food, feeling an even more complex mix of emotions.
