She wasn't trying to smooth things over; she just wanted Jojo's father to understand Jojo better– an outstanding Jojo.
“Jojo's tutoring business is doing very well. Even though in your eyes it's just a little money, but for him, that's his dream, his career. Since we started, we already have 3 martial arts classes and 2 taekwondo classes. The teachers are expanding their recruitment, and in the next six months, we're planning to add other specialty classes, such as Latin dance, folk dance, and we can even use these to drive our main subjects by adding English and cultural lessons. That's where the real money is. As long as the model gets up and running, all this can be achieved within half a year to a year, and by then Jojo's earnings will be considerable.”
Jenny Bailey had helped Jojo crunch the numbers and would also be involved in the establishment of the school, so she knew these details well.
“Why are you telling me all this? You, young lady, you're not falling for Jojo, are you? This is wrong between the two of you. Break it off immediately.” Jojo's father refused to admit that after listening to Jenny Bailey, his attitude towards Jojo had changed, even just a little bit.
He had always thought Jojo was an abnormal person, a twisted and imperfect child.
Unexpectedly, Jojo had managed to start up a small venture outside the home. Knowing that Jojo had never taken a single penny from the family for his classes, and even to correct Jojo's sexual orientation, his father had cut off his university tuition a few years ago, trying to force Jojo to dress as a woman and behave as one.
Unexpectedly, Jojo not only earned enough money to put himself through university by working but also did very well in running a business with others.
Among the children of those newly rich coal and mine bosses that Jojo's father knew, not one was as promising. Sure, those sons of wealthy people produced a lot of offspring, but the majority of their children were only good at spending money and not inclined towards bettering themselves. Compared to families like Mario Yuno's, with several generations of established business, the gap is significant, especially in terms of the children's education. Few offspring of the newly rich were as ambitious.
Unfortunately, Jojo was a daughter.
Why should it be a daughter?
If it had been a son, if it had been a self-made son, Jojo's father felt he could boast to his peers for a lifetime.
“So far, Jojo and I are just friends, but in the future, I can't guarantee I won't fall for him, given how excellent he is–” Ah, she said it!
Jenny Bailey blushed.
Ah! She said it!
And she said it in front of Jojo's father!
How could she suddenly express feelings she had kept inside for so long at this moment?
She cautiously glanced at Jojo and saw that he didn't look displeased; on the contrary, he seemed very happy, their eyes meeting sweetly– all while ignoring Jojo's father, who was like a backdrop to them.
Giorno quietly wheeled his chair toward Olivia Brown, not able to take it anymore. He had to hide; in broad daylight, they were shamelessly flaunting their affection!
“You, you, you!!! I will never accept this!!!” Jojo's father was greatly shaken, witnessing this barefaced romance unfolding right before his eyes. How could this be allowed?
“There's no need for you to accept it. You'd better keep quiet– Jenny Bailey, let's talk back home.” Jojo beamed with energy, feeling rejuvenated.
“Okay!” Jenny Bailey nodded vigorously.
Giorno wheeled away from them with his back turned, as if the melody of a serenade echoed in his ears. Tsk tsk!
Jojo Father was deeply provoked. Now that Jojo felt better, he found the annoying Old Man less repulsive and lazily said, “Are you going to tell me or not? If you don't, I'll have you taken away. You're a nuisance anyway.”
Jojo Father looked at his foreign Fat Sheep, then at Jojo, who was completely disobedient, and at the medical team that hadn't left yet. Weighing the pros and cons, he could only put Jojo's emotional issues aside for the moment and briefly explained the business matters.
Even after explaining, he was still uneasy, “Don't meddle anymore. How are you possibly going to handle all this? Actually, I didn't have any confidence when I came here either, I just wanted to try.”
“Weren't you making a fortune from mining? What made you think of setting up a factory with partners? Isn't being rich enough for you?”
“I have to consider you too; mining isn't really suitable for a girl like you. You're my only child. I want you to have a stable family business after I die. If you own shares in the factory, you don't have to get involved in the management. Later on, I'll find you a son-in-law who will join our family and let him manage it. Your life will have a secure future then.”
Jojo rolled his eyes, “Such a sexist. You really look down on women, don't you? See that woman chatting with the foreigner? We all call her Mrs. Kiara. She is an absolutely strong-minded individual. Don't be fooled by the fact that she's a Psychologist; she makes no less money than any man. How many men can't compare to her? Stop looking down on women. It's only physical strength that differs between sexes, intelligence is not inferior or superior. Besides, I'm a man, how could I possibly need a son-in-law?”
“Even if Dr. Clark is capable, she's still a Doctor. Can a doctor's earnings be the same as a businessperson's? Jojo, listen to Daddy. Don't be stubborn anymore. You should marry and have children, supporting your husband and educating your children. That's the path you should take. Daddy has arranged your future for you. I'll find you a son-in-law who will join our family. I'll leave all the Money to you, and the children you have will carry the Xiao surname, ensuring Our Home has descendants.”
Jojo Father was earnestly pleading; in his view, this was choosing the best possible path for his only child.
But Jojo was not grateful at all. With a wave of his hand, he commanded the medical team to forcefully strap the Old Man to the stretcher. Patting his immobilized father's shoulder, he said, “Old Man, I'm a man; how could I possibly have children? Wake up, stop dreaming. And don't look down on people. Just wait and see how I handle the things you couldn't. That said, I'll consider this a payback for the debt of giving birth to me. After this, stay out of my personal affairs!”
With that, he walked nonchalantly towards the sports field, as Jojo Father watched him leave, almost having a fit of rage.
The medical team followed Jojo's orders, preparing to leave the scene with Jojo Father on the stretcher, having taken a few steps already when Jenny Bailey, who had stayed behind, suddenly spoke up.
“Stop! Put him down!”
“You?” Jojo Father didn't understand what Jenny Bailey wanted to do.
“I want you to see what an outstanding man he is! You stay put, just sit here and watch!” Her words implied that the Old Man should stay but not be let off the stretcher!
Sensing Jenny Bailey's intentions, Kiara whispered something into Camden's ear as he approached, causing him to nod and head towards Jojo Father.
“Quick, help me get over there, don't let him cause trouble. Quick, any amount of Money will do!” Jojo Father said to Mario Yuno.
Mario Yuno, as if he hadn't heard, picked up a bottle of foreign liquor from the table, found a glass, and filled it up for Father Xiao.
“In the past, you abused him, locked him up, and fed him cabbage, but we're not that cruel. We'll just let you sit and watch. I'll even offer you a drink. Look, my daughter-in-law said that today, we're doing good deeds without leaving our names, generous to a fault and not charging you a penny. My daughter-in-law will work with Jojo to handle those foreigners upfront, and me…”
With a mischievous grin, Mario Yuno spoke at a leisurely pace, “I'm going to be your live translator, letting you know everything Jojo is saying to them.”
