Rozen's question was indeed too sudden.
Obviously, they were still discussing life matters a second ago, but in the next second, they suddenly turned to such a topic, which made everyone unable to react, which was normal.
However, Rozen did not take back the question, he just looked at Kyoko, waiting for Kyoko's answer.
This made Kyoko frown, and a faint unpleasant emotion emerged in her heart.
Kyoko hated this feeling of being interrupted.
As mentioned before, Jingzi relied on her sharp tongue and ruthless political tactics to defeat all of her competitors in the academic department and become a full professor. From this, it could be seen how good Jingzi was at grasping the rhythm of a conversation and the technique of it.
Jingzi's previous words also vividly demonstrated this point, starting from the 'The'.
From the topic of social achievements to the topic of transfer and future arrangements, the beginning and end of the topic complemented each other without any loopholes. She even hinted to Rozen that if Rozen really loved Yasna, then he should work hard to give her a better life, creating an atmosphere where the two of them must listen to his arrangements.
In the end, Kyoko's words did get Shozo's support, leaving Koichiro speechless, and Yasna speechless, which was enough to prove how good Kyoko's negotiation skills were.
The only thing left was Rozen.
As long as Rozen nodded, she believed that this matter would be confirmed.
And Kyoko believed that in the conversation just now, Rozen could not find a reason to refuse.
Who would have thought that Rozen would suddenly bring up such a topic, completely interrupting the atmosphere and position that Kyoko had created. It was natural for Kyoko to be unhappy.
However, Rozen's question, Kyoko still had to answer.
Earlier, she said that Rozen was looking forward to it. If she didn't explain this problem well, she was afraid that all the conditions that she created with great difficulty would slip away.
That was why Kyoko said this.
"I did object to it, because I know very well how powerful the people in my hometown are. With your current condition, even if you rely on 'The
People will only see you as a nouveau riche, after all, you're not the one who developed that program, and you don't have any kind of background. Coupled with the stain of SAO, I'm afraid a lot of people will be hostile toward you. "
In other words, Kyoko wanted to express that she was doing this to protect Rozan Can.
However …
"It shouldn't be like that, right?"
Rozen stared at Jingzi and suddenly smiled. That's what he said.
"Didn't you object so much because you don't want to be embarrassed in front of your relatives?"
His words made everyone in the living room suck in a breath of cold air.
It was the same for Yasna.
"… What did you say?"
Kyoko's face sank.
Rozen's words were no different from slander. Compared to before, the degree of exaggeration was not just a little bit.
But Rozen still said indifferently.
"If it's for protection and for fear that your relatives in your hometown won't be friendly, then you should have even left Ashina behind and not brought her over. Why is it just me?"
That's right.
If Kyoko really thought that way, not only Rozen, but Yasna should also be asked to stay. Otherwise, with Yasna's experience of being imprisoned by SAO for two years, being behind her peers by two years, and also studying in a school that was regarded as a detention facility by the general people, those so-called relatives' attitude would be even worse. Even if they were friendly on the surface, they would secretly ridicule and sympathize with her.
Under such circumstances, Kyoko not only protected her daughter, but also protected Rozen, a son-in-law who didn't like her very much.
So, that's what Rozen thought.
"The reason why you opposed to taking me with you is because it's a disgrace to you."
Rozen said in a polite tone with a smile without any hesitation.
"Just like you said that we all have to accumulate qualifications that no one will lose to, your qualifications are also in the accumulation stage, isn't that right?"
Young people like Rozen, Asuna, and Koichiro's qualifications were determined by their education, grades, and achievements in society. Therefore, they had to go to a good school, get a good graduation certificate, and get a high position in society. Only then could they be considered successful.
For a successful person like Kyoko, her qualifications relied on teaching good students, cultivating excellent new generations, and making her children become outstanding, so her qualifications in life will be added to her, and others will look up to her.
All the families in the Geecheng family were like this. They not only compared each other's achievements and grades, but also compared the growth and education of their children. Otherwise, there would be many topics that others would gossip about.
No matter how successful they were, if they were judged by others as not knowing how to educate their children and unable to cultivate an heir, wouldn't they be a failure in life in the end?
It was precisely because of this that the Shinagawa brothers were forced to a dead end by their father. In the hands of these successful people, there must be many similar examples.
As a person who struggled all the way from a commoner to her current position, Kyoko had finally achieved success. How could she want to add some flaws to the final road of her life?
Kyoko must continue to accumulate her own qualifications and cultivate her children into talents. Only then would it be considered a real success.
In such a situation …
"Iroi-san has made great achievements, you must be quite satisfied. Although there is a problem with Ashina, it's unavoidable, and there is still room for improvement, so you want to arrange for her to transfer to another school as soon as possible. On the other hand, even if you say that you are optimistic about me, there is still Nobuyuki Susugo as a comparison. Regardless of his character, his career is considered a success, but I am just a nouveau riche.
I didn't develop SEED, and I can't even use it to start a business. I have the title of a child prodigy, but I'm willing to waste my time in that special school. You certainly don't want others to say, "Why do you like such a son-in-law?"
Rozen said with a smile, but there was not much smile in his eyes, he was still so indifferent.
"If that's the case, I might become a blemish in your life."
"That's why you objected to bringing me along and even tried your best to arrange for me to transfer to another school. When I really stand out and make people look at me in a different light, you, as the mother-in-law who 'raised' me, will be even more successful."
"That's your purpose, right?"
His words caused Jing Zi's expression to turn darker and darker, and even more unsightly.
Finally …
"I'm sorry, I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you."
Rozen looked directly at Kyoko and said bluntly.
"I am very satisfied with myself now, and I am very satisfied with my current school. I believe that I will also be very satisfied with my future life."
"I'm really sorry to let you arrange for me."
"But, I will not transfer to another school, and I don't want to become the pillar of the country or the top of society in the future."
"I'm afraid you're wasting your time."
These words were clearly heard by everyone.
Everyone was speechless.
The atmosphere in the hall became heavy again.
And Kyoko's face was cold, and she didn't speak anymore.
