Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife

Chapter 8 - Watching a Show

Jennie continued to adoringly rub her stomach as they went downstairs to the dining hall. Her mother didn't seem to take notice of it, or perhaps, she just didn't care about what her eldest daughter was doing.

If Mother kim actually knew what was inside her daughter's mind and womb, she'd probably go ballistic and demand she abort the baby once it turns into a fetus!

After ordering the chef to make a quick supper for her daughter, Mother kim finally asked what she had been longing to ask her daughter ever since she returned from the countryside.

"How are your grandparents?" she asked inquiringly. Mother kim Observed her daughter's face and saw nothing was wrong.

"They're doing alright."

"Do they have any plans to come here to the city? It has been a while since they've come to visit us." Mother kim frowned with worry.

In the eyes of other people, they would think that Mother kim was extremely concerned with the current patriarch and matriarch of the kim family. But in her eyes, Jennie knew that her mother had other thoughts.

Since the moment Li Ye-jin married Kim Woo-bin, everyone thought that she was the Cinderella in the modern era. She was just a secretary with no family backing and didn't get to graduate college. She was only able to get the secretary position because Woo-bin's friend recommended her to him.

At that time, Woo-bin was still young and had just taken the position as the vice president of the kim Corp., but when he saw Ye-jin for the first time, he fell for her beautiful face and innocent smile.

He hired her and made her into his secretary. In no less than a month, their feelings for each other grew to the point that Woo-bin decided to get out of the engagement he originally had with another woman who came from the same wealthy background as he does.

Grandfather kim and Grandmother kim were extremely angered by his decision and threatened to take his position as vice president from him. However, Woo-bin insisted and knew that his parents couldn't take him away from being their heir as they had no other son or legal heir who could take his place.

Jennie's grandparents also knew about this fact and did not know what to do. In the end, they didn't agree to their marriage nor tried to stop him. However, they never showed their faces at their wedding and only showed up when Jennie was born.

Ye-jin initially thought that once she gave birth to a child, they would come back to the family mansion in the city and like her. However, she didn't know that her scheme to control and seduce Woo-bin was seen through by his parents and didn't change their views on her even after two children were born in their family.

But despite their hatred and dislike towards Ye-jin, they loved and adored the eldest daughter, who was never afraid of this old couple and often came to the countryside to visit and care for them.

And now that Jennie had just returned from the countryside, Jennie knew that her mother was thinking of using her to get her grandparent's heart.

In the past, Jennie tried to make her mother's image good in front of her grandparents. But now... Jennie didn't plan on doing that ever again.

Let's see who will lose this game.

Jennie stared at her mother and shook her head as she said sarcastically, "Mother, grandpa and grandma are doing well in the countryside. Why would they want to come to the city where all the pollution and dirty things are everywhere?"

That's right. Her grandparents are old already. Jennie won't allow anyone to corrupt them.

Mother kim didn't seem to hear the sarcasm and hidden meaning in her words. "But Ji-won's birthday is in just a few days. Don't they have plans to come to celebrate it with her?"

"Who knows... Maybe if Ji-won visited the countryside and begged them to come. Then, they might come here." Jennie told her mother and sneered.

Ji-won has never stepped a foot in the countryside and disdained the thought of going there as though it was the dirtiest place in the world. Ji-won didn't want to show anyone that her grandparents lived in the countryside and embarrass herself as an actress.

However, what Ji-won didn't know was that nothing was really different from the city and the countryside. On the contrary, her grandparents' house in the countryside was bigger and wider than their mansion in the city, and they owned a vast land in the countryside, making them a landlord in the countryside.

But Jennie won't enlighten Ji-won since the latter detested coming there for the sake of her celebrity image.

Mother kim was struck dumbed at her words. She then said, "That's right. Maybe if Ji-won calls them and asks them to come, they will attend her birthday party." She took out her phone and said, "I'll call Ji-won and tell her to call your grandma."

Jennie watched as her mother made a fool out of herself in front of her like a clown. In time, the chef served a plate of steak and red wine on the table.

After thanking the chef, Jennie took a sip from the rim of the wineglass and coldly smiled.
