Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 967 - Chapter 967 Chapter 940 A Series of Unintended Mishaps Now

Chapter 967: Chapter 940: A Series of Unintended Mishaps, Now Things Get Interesting Chapter 967: Chapter 940: A Series of Unintended Mishaps, Now Things Get Interesting Susi was immediately displeased, grumbling about having come from a distinguished family and having given up a great opportunity to come back and work with her, only to be labeled as a man who married into someone else’s family.

Moreover, with their work, the division of labor between the two was clear. Strictly speaking, Jojo Father’s contribution to the corporation was even greater than hers. It was only out of consideration for Mr. Taylor’s feelings that Susi was named Chairman. Hearing Jojo Father speak like that, Susi’s face darkened immediately.

Before Susi could erupt, Jojo Father shook his head at her, held her small hand, and led her to leave early. To argue with Jojo Father would be to disrespect Kiara.

“I’m so angry! How could he talk about you that way!” Susi, still anxious even after being led away from the scene, flared up first thing.

She had feared such talk about Jojo Father, which is why she had considered breaking up to begin with. If a no-name Young Boss dared to speak ill this way, then the gossip Outside would surely be worse.

“It doesn’t matter what others say, why should we get upset with such people? Honey, you can’t get angry, the Baby will kick you.”

Jojo Father’s temperament and quality were not to be underestimated. His inner strength was so formidable that he could ignore these petty rumors.

“He’s so small, how could he kick.” Susi laughed when he teased her, and Jojo Father scratched her nose. They exchanged smiles.

Choose what I love, love my choice, and let time prove everything.

“You infuriating Old Man, how could you talk to my friend like that?!” Jojo was hopping mad.

Uneducated rich men with no culture will go bankrupt sooner or later. Don’t they have any discernment? To say such things in front of Susi and her husband, he might as well shoot for the moon!

Luckily, Susi was Mrs. Kiara’s close friend. If it had been anyone else, they might have humored him to his face but would have destroyed him behind his back. The Old Man wouldn’t even know how he died.

“Isn’t what I said the truth? Jojo, follow your Father. Father won’t ignore you anymore. You are capable, Father will nurture you, then find you a compliant and easily manipulable son-in-law.”

“I’m thoroughly disappointed in you. You have no idea what I want. Let me tell you again, I have my own life, and I don’t need you arranging any of these for me, any of it!”

Returning from the City, Kiara had been downcast, even during the karaoke, she seemed distracted.

The same was true for Jojo.

Seeing his Father had put him in an extremely bad mood, and Jenny Bailey, following Jojo, didn’t know what to say to comfort him. Eventually, they just huddled in a corner, drinking sullenly.

The remaining people tactfully pretended not to notice their downcast moods, doing their best to lighten the atmosphere.

Camden kept an eye on Kiara, noticing her sitting silently, he too frowned deeply.

He had always followed Kiara and knew that this day, nothing bad had happened.

Although encountering Jojo Father was unexpected, no physical confrontation took place, and it had nothing to do with his daughter-in-law per se.

So why was Kiara’s mood so heavy at this moment?

After a few drinks, Kiara made an excuse to go outside for some air.

Q City was not large, nor was its economy particularly thriving, but its nightlife was at the forefront domestically. The lavish lights of the night show spilled onto the intricate marble floors, as people entered and exited in pairs or groups, occasionally spotted were men with evil looks in their eyes, wrapping their arms around women in standard “work uniform” of short skirts and high-heels, speaking and acting with abandon.

The night show was like a revealing mirror, exposing the true nature of these people who appeared upright by day.

Kiara usually held her liquor well, and those few glasses of wine should have had no effect on her. Yet today she felt a little dizzy, unsure if it was because of the wine.

Leaning against a pillar, eyes closed as if in deep thought, a pair of strong arms suddenly draped over her delicate shoulders. She immediately opened her eyes and upon seeing him, the murderous look in her eyes faded to weariness.

Mario Yuno was certain he hadn’t misread the situation; his usually capable daughter-in-law had just given him a look that was truly filled with fatigue.

“Why come out here? I just wanted to walk around,” Kiara leaned her head on his shoulder, seeking someone to lean on.

Mario Yuno considerately took her entire body into his arms, bearing all her weight.

“Let’s go back and have a few drinks.”

“What about everyone else?”

It wouldn’t be appropriate for the host to run off after calling everyone out, would it?

“I’ll call Dadao and let him arrange things. Besides, we have a pregnant woman here, and it’s not good for her to get too tired late at night. I should have a few drinks with you, too; it won’t be the same if we drink later on.”

“What’s different about it?” Isn’t it still just the two of them?

“Now you are a lover, and later you’ll be a wife. Isn’t it trendy to have a few drinks before the wedding? Let’s catch up with the fashion.”

“… Do you think our drinking is the same as theirs? Isn’t that a farewell party for being single among friends?” Kiara realized that the Old Yates People always had this habit of finding excuses to eat and drink at every moment–a trait typical of children raised in large families.

“Then why don’t you just think of me as not your husband? Right now we’re friends; come on, friend, let’s drink this cup of wine~”

He casually wrapped his arm around Kiara and walked her out, not driving her straight home but first stopped by a roadside barbecue, then drove to his father’s neighborhood.

“You don’t need to go up. I’ll sneak up and steal a few good bottles of liquor from the old man. If you come with me, we’ll get caught and scolded.” He warned her before he got out of the car.

“Isn’t that inappropriate…”

They were already downstairs at his mother-in-law’s house. Was it really okay not to go up and instead encourage Camden to go back and grab stuff?

“No problem, there aren’t so many rules in our home. You just wait for me, friend!” He tapped her nose and drove off.

Before long, Mario Yuno came back carrying two large plastic bags, Kiara drove for him as he beamed a broad smile.

“Friend, you’re in luck. The Old Lady made quite a spread of late-night snacks tonight, and I just snatched them all. The Old Man isn’t home, so I pried open his liquor cabinet.”

“If the Old Man comes after you, don’t include me in it.”

“Include you in what? I told the Old Lady I was drinking with a ‘friend,’ not my daughter-in-law.”

He was going to great lengths to cheer up Kiara, calling her “friend” with such ease you’d think it came naturally to him.

“Do you get this cozy with your other female friends?” Kiara laughed a little under his teasing, feeling less burdened.

“I actually don’t have any female friends. You’re the only one; come on friend~ My daughter-in-law is not at home tonight, let’s have a few drinks at my place!”

With the car window down, his words carried on the breeze, fluttering out. From behind the flower beds, a hidden figure emerged with an extremely conflicted expression on his face.

Wasn’t the Youngest Brother of the Yuno Family about to get married? How dare he bring a woman to his new house for drinks before the wedding?

Should he tell Old Yu and his sister-in-law about this or not? If he told them, he feared harming the family unity, but if he didn’t, it was a matter of principle. How could he watch a younger person make a mistake after knowing Mr. and Mrs. Yuno for so many years…

This was truly a dilemma.
