Rebirth of the Villainous Female Boss
Chapter 970 - Chapter 970 Chapter 943 Seeing Ones Own Problems in Others

Chapter 970: Chapter 943: Seeing One’s Own Problems in Others Chapter 970: Chapter 943: Seeing One’s Own Problems in Others Nowadays, more and more people are living in apartment buildings, and that kind of simple affection has diminished. These old men must truly care about Mario Yuno, otherwise how could they go directly over Mario Yuno’s father and come to teach him a lesson?

Though it was a misunderstanding, Kiara still felt that such affection was worth cherishing.

“That’s true, if we have a child in the future, their moral and ethical values will definitely be right. Growing up in such an environment, a child’s worldviews will certainly be correct.”

Camden had the most say in this matter. When kids went out into the courtyard, they would inadvertently run into an elder, who would pull them aside and start chatting for half the day. They’d go from talking about the War of Resistance to patriotism, and you couldn’t help but listen. Once they started school, they’d naturally have an advantage in history class.

“Actually, sometimes, I feel that it would be nice if family members could keep the same distance as neighbors.”

Kiara was contemplative, and Camden, hearing the undertone in her words, wondered if his daughter-in-law’s sudden emotional low that evening had something to do with her family?

“Why would you ask that?”

“Today, I saw the relationship between Jojo’s father and Jojo, and I couldn’t help but think of my brother and me.”

“That…is a bit of a stretch, isn’t it?” Was this minor issue really worth his daughter-in-law’s concern?

“There are similarities, though. You see Jojo’s father and find him detestable, right? But in fact, he’s quite pitiable. He’s intent on arranging a good future for his children, yet he doesn’t realize that what he’s planning is never what Jojo wants. As Jojo’s friends, from our perspective, this kind of overbearing interference in someone else’s future is extremely annoying.”

Isn’t this the manifestation of a special kind of affection in a unique environment?

Parents are used to taking charge of everything, from school to marriage arrangements and even to entertaining their grandchildren, all under the guise of parental rule.

Edward Wheeler nodded, signaling her to continue.

“I am also reflecting. Is it really right or wrong to plan Arlong’s future the way I have? He’s young and naive, hasn’t seen much of the City Market, and thinks rather simply. Am I really doing the right thing by deceiving him and paving his future path for him?”

Using others as a mirror to see oneself is an obstacle that top Psychologists cannot circumvent, always finding their own issues in others’ problems.

So that was it! Camden finally understood why his daughter-in-law, who had been fine during the day, suddenly felt down after seeing Jojo’s father. It turned out to be because of her brother all along.

“There’s a saying, ‘Every generation will have its own luck,’ but what kind of luck can a child like Arlong have, developing according to his naive ways of thinking?”

Kiara isn’t overexaggerating or underestimating her own brother.

Incidents from a Past life loom before her. That child, unchecked, tends towards straying off path, yet at heart, he’s not a bad Kid.

“Don’t overcomplicate the problem. Your family’s situation is different from Jojo’s house,” Camden asserted, taking Kiara’s side. He didn’t believe there was anything wrong with how his daughter-in-law handled issues.

“In a way, Jojo’s father is also considering Jojo’s best interest, even though his methods seem foolish to us, but his intentions are for Jojo. I believe I’m also doing it for my brother; doesn’t that make it the same?”

This was a twist that Kiara couldn’t rationalize.

Following the philosophy of laissez-faire, she shouldn’t meddle in Arlong’s business, yet she couldn’t bear to watch him struggle like in the past, torn between emotions and reason, standing at the crossroads of conflict, her heart always filled with myriad sentiments.

“That’s different. You and Jojo’s Father are fundamentally different. First, his methods ultimately only led to a wrong outcome, but you definitely can teach an excellent brother. Second, Jojo never asked his father to help decide his future, while Arlong has always been dependent on you. He actively seeks your help. He trusts you, which is why he discusses everything with you. There’s a passive and active dynamic at play. Third, in Arlong’s subconscious, he accepts your arrangements as an elder sister, while Jojo’s subconscious rejects his father. Therefore, the two situations aren’t comparable.”

Top students are good at grasping the key points. With his explanation, Kiara seemed to feel a lot better.

The logic was all there; sometimes, having someone provide guidance can make all the difference. Kiara’s position was high, and few could provide her with such guidance. Everyone looked up to her, relied on her, even treating her like a deity. Yet here was someone on equal footing with her who could unravel the mysteries of her confusion with a single phrase.

“What I’m most worried about is that after all our efforts, we still fail to educate him properly. What if he turns out wrong–”

The shadows of the past life were always lingering in Kiara’s heart, having witnessed her brother become Extravagant, she always feared not educating him properly.

“If he turns out wrong, you can beat me up.”

“Why would I beat you up?” She looked at him with surprise. In his mind, was she really such a violent person?

“I’ve got a responsibility in this matter. My daughter-in-law is the decision-maker, I’m the executor. The decision you made for Arlong is brave, correct, absolutely impeccable. If the education fails, that would be the fault of the executor–me. My daughter-in-law is always right.”

“You slick talker.” Kiara couldn’t navigate such a convoluted issue for so long, but he managed to persuade her with ease.

Where most men would avoid issues at all costs, this foolish young man charged forward, catching Mrs. Kiara’s eye, and the more she watched, the more she saw his sense of responsibility.

“Honestly, the place Arlong is about to enter, can it really set him on the right path?”

Kiara was still not at ease; she always felt that her brother was a bit beyond help.

Since her return, she had been focusing on his education, with Giorno single-handedly taking charge of his studies. Between the two of them, they had managed to steer his studies into three main courses. But in life, he remained unambitious, always looking for shortcuts. For the Female Boss, saying she wasn’t affected would be impossible.

Even if it was just a brother, not her own child, over-managing someone’s life could backfire. If the person didn’t turn out well, ending up like Jojo’s Father, caught between a rock and a hard place, it would be infuriating.

“We’re just providing Arlong with a broader environment. The same rice feeds a hundred different people; no environment can guarantee a hundred percent success rate. But objectively speaking, Arlong isn’t a child beyond redemption. Give him a direction, and he will know how to strive. You shouldn’t always look at Arlong with a subjective perspective.”

Camden noticed that Kiara had a particularly interesting attitude towards her brother–a mixture of love and hate, frustration, and yet an obvious hope for him to prove his steel. Kiara could objectively analyze anyone, but she always assumed the worst in her brother.

Camden didn’t realize that Kiara’s subjective feelings towards Arlong all stemmed from the shadows of the past life. She couldn’t forget how that troublemaker had wrecked her life, always holding her back.

But she also couldn’t forget how, after her return, her silly little brother had stood up for her and their Mother. These mixed emotions complicated her feelings.

“Don’t worry, I’m here, and you needn’t think about anything else.” He bent down to kiss her, but Kiara dodged.

“We’re friends now, right? Keep your distance!”

Wow, she still wanted to play this game?
