"So what? Marriage and life are our own. We don't want to live with you." Eva said coldly, "It's useless for you to force me with this. It's not difficult for me to quit the entertainment circle in advance. I can quit to open a studio behind the scenes and be a producer. In short, I can do anything for my Vinton."
Elizabeth was cunning and not a fool. Of course she knew that it was not a big deal to withdraw from the entertainment circle. She just wanted to test the feelings of Eva for her son.
In fact, the friendship between women was very fragile. If they couldn't stop Vinton from marrying Eva, she would win her over, break up her alliance with Essie, and turn against each other.
She smiled slightly and said, "Well, in fact, I was just testing you to see if you really love Vinton, not to ask you to quit the entertainment circle."
Eva was shocked, "Testing me?"
"Vinton is my son. I only hope that he is good. I won't hurt him. He is too kind and soft hearted. The reason why I had to make decisions for him before was that I was afraid that he would be used. I didn't expect him to misunderstand me. " Elizabeth sighed heavily.
Eva looked at her. The sudden change of the style made her a little uncomfortable. "Do you think I will make use of Vinton? I don't want his money, nor your Xu family's property. What can I use him for? "
"I've walked much more than you have eaten. I know what kind of person you are at a glance. The reason why I don't want you to marry Vinton is not only because of your relationship with Essie, but also because of your character. You are the same as Vinton. You are upright, innocent and kind-hearted. As long as others treat you a little better, you will regard them as Bodhisattva. If that person is evil and wants to hurt you, you two will be fooled," Elizabeth said slowly.
Eva took a sip of tea and didn't say anything. She believed that Elizabeth's evaluation was positive. She should hope that her daughter-in-law would be as cunning and cruel as Valery.
However, since her tone became so euphemistic, she had to keep polite. Anyway, she was Vinton's mother, her future mother-in-law.
"The person you refer to is Essie?" She pretended to be innocent.
"I know you and Essie are good friends. You trust her unconditionally. She is also very good to you. The reason why a person as stubborn as you can be famous in the entertainment circle is partly because of her help. But I'm sure that she didn't mean to help Vinton," Elizabeth said in a low voice.
"Do you think Essie is going to compete with Vinton for the family property? The Rong family will be her son's in the future. Will she still care about the Xu family? " Eva sneered. She knew her best friend.
Elizabeth sighed, "So you are innocent and naive. Of course, Essie wouldn't fight for it, but she would help Holy fight for it. You don't know how Holy came, do you? Now that you are going to marry into our family soon and become the daughter-in-law of our family, you should also know what happened in the past. You should have a clear mind. "
She paused, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then said slowly, "Holy's mother is the lover that Alice specially found for her father. Her purpose is to create a grandson for the Xu family and compete with me and Vinton for the family property! Although Alice had lost her memory and forgotten her original intention, Essie still remembered. And now, everything she had done was moving towards this goal. She is going to push Holy to the throne step by step. "
Looking at the green tea in her cup, Eva showed an expression of indifference. In fact, it didn't matter whether Vinton would be in charge of the Xu family or not. Money and power were all worldly possessions. She and Vinton didn't need to rely on the Xu family at all. They could work together to fight for their own career.
"Do you want Vinton to be the leader for him or for yourself?"
"Of course I did it for Vinton. He is my son. As long as he is good, then I'm satisfied," Elizabeth said in a firm tone, fearing that Eva would not believe her.
However, Eva really didn't believe it. "Vinton has a chance to be in charge. When the Xu group was in crisis, you could have promoted Vinton to the position of chairman. Why did you yourself choose to be the chairman?"
"Could Vinton handle the situation at that time? Even if he becomes the chairman, he can't take over the overall situation. " Elizabeth sighed, "As her mother, who can stand out for him if I don't stand out?"
With a faint smile, Eva said, "Since Vinton doesn't have the ability to do that, why do you force him to be the leader? Isn't it good to be an idle shareholder?"
A strange light flashed through Elizabeth's eyes. Every question of Eva was within her expectation, and she was guiding her in the direction she wanted step by step.
