"Mommy, why are you here?" Jim was slightly shocked. His intuition told him that his mother came for Janice.
Eva took a deep breath. Just now, they were still talking about whether the Jing family could accept Janice or not, and Mrs. Jing came. No wonder they were the family who was in charge of the media industry, and they were more well-informed than anyone else.
It was the first time that she had seen Mrs. Jing. She was born in the royal family of Europe. With a natural noble temperament, she was breathtakingly beautiful. Ordinary people only dared to look up at her.
Her real name was Kerry Windsor. After she married into the Jing family, she took her husband's surname and gave herself a Chinese name. In addition to the title of Mrs. Jing, the outside world was more used to calling her Mrs. Kerry, which was different from other daughter-in-laws in the Jing family.
Mrs. Kerry fixed her eyes on Janice. Although her eyes were neither cold nor fierce, Janice still subconsciously shivered. She shivered and moved backwards behind Jim, as if trying to hide herself.
Noticing her fear, Jim held her in his arms and asked, "Mommy, what can I do for you?"
"Why can't I come to see my son?" Mrs. Kerry said in a low voice.
"Aunt Kerry, have you had dinner? We are going to have dinner. Would you like to go to the dining room with us?" Zac hurriedly eased the atmosphere.
Upon seeing him, Mrs. Kerry's face softened. She nodded slightly and walked towards the dining room. Others followed her silently.
Eva stuck out his tongue at Vinton. Her intuition told her that Mrs. Kerry was not an easy going person. The mother-in-law of a rich family was so powerful.
When they entered the dining room, Mrs. Kerry took a seat first, followed by others. The atmosphere was very serious.
Noticing that, Mrs. Kerry's brown eyes swept across the table and a gentle smile appeared on her face. "It's not the first time you have seen me. You don't have to be so reserved."
"Aunt Kerry, you should call us in advance so that we can welcome you," Zac said in a playful tone.
Mrs. Kerry sighed. "Before the new year comes to an end, Jim has disappeared. If I told him before I came, I wouldn't have any chance to see him."
"Mommy, I'm very busy. The new play is about to begin," Jim said casually.
"Is it the play with Miss Fang?" When Mrs. Kerry asked, she looked at Eva.
Eva was slightly shocked. She didn't expect that Mrs. Kerry would mention her. She hurriedly explained, "No, the second season of the play between Jim and me won't start until April."
Jim's beautiful thick eyebrows frowned slightly. When this pepper called him Jim rather than scum Jim, it seemed that they were just passers-by. It sounded awkward and alienated.
"You should often cooperate with each other. I like watching the cooperative play between you and Jim the most. There are few good girls like you in the entertainment circle," Mrs. Kerry said slowly.
Eva didn't know whether Mrs. Kerry was praising her personality or her acting skills. But she was really happy to be praised. "I just like acting." She grinned, revealing two cute dimples.
Vinton smiled at Mrs. Kerry and put his arm around Eva's shoulder. "Auntie Jing, my wife is a good actress. Unlike those vases, they are either not good at acting or too exaggerated."
Jim's eyes fell on his arm, and the blue veins on his forehead twitched unconsciously. He didn't notice it himself, but Mrs. Kerry saw his subtle expression. She was a professor of psychology, and she was good at judging psychology through expressions.
"Is your engagement party next week?" she asked casually. The Engagement Invitations had already been sent out, and the four major clans in Dragon City were certainly the primary guests.
"Yes." Vinton nodded.
"When will the wedding be held?" asked Mrs. Kerry.
"June," Vinton replied.
Mrs. Kerry nodded slightly and said, "Congratulations!"
"Thank you." Eva and Vinton looked at each other and smiled happily.
Jim picked up the glass of wine at hand and drank several mouthfuls in a row, as if he wanted to vent something. Sitting next to him, Janice lowered her head to drink soup, feeling very uneasy.
Mrs. Kerry's attention finally fell on her. "Miss Wang, since you broke the agreement and insisted on coming back, I have nothing to say. I hope your choice is right."
Her words were quite euphemistic, as if she didn't object to her dating with Jim.
Janice was shocked and looked up at her in surprise. "Don't you blame me?"
