After Chu Xue became pregnant, Gloria was under tremendous pressure, as Li Muming's wife, Gloria was unwilling to share her husband with anyone, not even Li Mu's personal maid, but since things had come to this point, even if Gloria was unwilling, she could only make compromises, and the only thing Gloria could do was to pray that Chu Xue was a girl in her belly.
Western families also have the term "primogeniture", such as the Vanderbilt family, although William Vanderbilt has many siblings, but the only one who can enter management and learn how to control the family business by Corneliers Vanderbilt is William Vanderbilt himself, because William Vanderbilt is the eldest son of the Vanderbilt family.
It's the same here for Li Mu, although Chu Xue is nominally not Li Mu's wife, but with Gloria's understanding of Li Mu, Li Mu probably won't look the other way because Chu Xue's child is not rightly named, on the contrary, because the child in Chu Xue's belly is Li Mu's first child, Li Mu will pay special attention to it and put the most effort into it, which makes Gloria not anxious.
On the other hand, Li Mu and Gloria have also been married for a year, since Chu Xue can get pregnant, it proves that Li Mu's body is fine, and Gloria can't get pregnant for a long time, so the problems reflected in it are more interesting, with Li Mu's character analysis, this is estimated to not affect the relationship between Li Mu and Gloria, but if Gloria can't get pregnant, then this relationship is imperfect, which makes Gloria absolutely unacceptable.
Relatively speaking, Gloria doesn't pay much attention to wealth, after all, although the Horse Group has a big family, the Barron family has a lot of wealth, and even Gloria has her own industry, so wealth inheritance is not a problem, at least not the primary issue.
With these questions, you can imagine how mixed Gloria's feelings must have been when she heard the news of her pregnancy.
Seeing Li Mu come back, Dr. Betty said goodbye with great discernment, and congratulated Li Mu again before leaving.
Li Mu was also happy for Gloria, and immediately instructed Mason to seal a big red envelope for Dr. Betty.
After all the idlers left, Gloria came over and hugged Li Mu gently, and Li Mu was keenly aware that Gloria was crying.
"Don't be like this, be happy, your mood will affect the child in the womb, and he definitely doesn't want his mother to react like this when she knows she exists." Li Mu could feel Gloria's joy, the reason why he said this was not to want Gloria's mood to fluctuate greatly, the first two months of pregnancy were the most dangerous, and pregnant women could not be happy and sad at this time.
"I know, I know, I'm just—just so happy—" Gloria's voice came from Li Mu's chest, sounding a little muffled.
"Okay, you have enough time to be happy, now you have to rest, from now on, you also have to enjoy the national treasure treatment." Li Mu is also happy, and he has a love crystallization with Gloria, which has another layer of meaning, so this child is destined to be born without being ordinary.
As a Chinese, Li Mu has been trying to integrate himself into American society, although it looks good now, but in fact it is far from enough, for the United States, Li Mu may be a successful entrepreneur, but Li Mu is still an Oriental.
The combination of Li Mu and Gloria will completely change all this, and the union with Gloria represents the marriage between Li Mu and the American elite, and the birth of the child will become a bond, not only linking Li Mu and the Barron family closely, but also representing Li Mu to complete the transformation from "Oriental" to "American".
In other words, Li Mu and Gloria's child is qualified to run for president of the United States-
Who knows, even if there is such a possibility, I am afraid it will be decades later, and whether Li Mu has a chance to see it has to be said.
"Remember to send a telegram to my dad and tell him the good news." After marriage, Gloria has become more and more mature, and she used to talk about "Will", but now she has changed completely.
"I've already sent it to Mason, wait and see, maybe Will will be back tomorrow." Li Mu informed Will as soon as possible, and this news would definitely make Will ecstatic.
Will is not in New York now, but went to Pennsylvania, there was a riot among the miners in Pennsylvania, and Will was ordered to lead troops to suppress it, if Will was not in New York, Li Mu would not have needed to go to the Coast Guard for help a while ago.
Li Mu underestimated Will's attention to this child, and on the night he received the telegram, Will returned to New York from Pennsylvania, and in the morning Gloria had not woken up before Will appeared on Governors Island.
"Reem, well done, I told Claudia the day before yesterday that you guy must not be able to work, otherwise Lily would have been pregnant-" Will was in a very good mood, and shouted loudly when he saw Li Mu, but what he said was a little embarrassing, and it didn't sound like what his husband should say.
"You ought to be glad Lily hasn't woken up yet, or you'd have been shut up." Li Mu couldn't cry or laugh, and such an old man on the stall was also speechless.
"Hahahaha-" Will laughed wildly and threw the dew-soaked coat to Mason, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, motioning for Li Mu to follow him: "Come and have a drink with me, you don't know how long I waited for this day, in my impression, Lily is still a little girl, but the little girl is going to be a mother now——"
Will smiled and smiled, his voice was a little choked, but Will covered it up very well, and only people like Li Mu who knew Will very well could hear it.
"Little girls always grow up, is the second alright? The last time I saw him was Christmas. Li Mu took the initiative to pour wine, a glass of brandy, a glass of champagne.
Will never drinks low-alcohol liquor, and he is really good at it, in comparison, Will likes vodka from Russia the most, but Gloria and Sandy are very opposed to Will drinking this kind of strong liquor with a similar intensity to alcohol, so there is only brandy in the wine cabinet on Governors Island, if you want to drink vodka, then please walk a few more steps to the underground cellar.
At this point, it was obvious that Will didn't care about brandy or vodka, even if it was red wine, I believe Will would be willing.
"When I received your telegram, I immediately rushed back, and the four horses were changed along the way, and the guards were lost, how about it, has the child's name been decided?" Will didn't want to divert the topic, as soon as he looked up and drank a glass of wine, he saw the bottom, and wiped his mouth with his sleeve casually, with a very positive attitude.
"Name—it's too fast, I don't know if it's a man or a woman, I want to hear what Lily means." Regarding the child's name, Li Mu really doesn't care, as long as it is surnamed Li, as for calling it "Liszt" or "Li Zuoche", Li Mu has no opinion.
"What are these words? Whether it's a man or a woman, you should prepare it first, prepare a boy's name, and then a girl's name, so that it can be used by both men and women, preferably a boy and a girl, wahahaha-" Thinking of the joy, Will couldn't help but laugh out loud again.
Li Mu was speechless again, fortunately, Will didn't know that someone had given birth to six in one child, otherwise he would have to prepare twelve names.
"Listen to me, if it's a boy, call it Arnold, I hope he's like an eagle in the sky and can fly freely, if it's a girl, call it Judy, I hope she's as cute as an elf." It seems that Will has not been idle along the way, and even has helped to think of the name of the child.
Fortunately, Will didn't say a name like "Li II", otherwise Li Muneng would be mad.
"Dad, why did you come back so quickly?" Gloria finally got up and ran out in her pajamas.
"Baby, you're Daddy's pride, Daddy loves you—" Will didn't bother to discuss the name, and jumped up to Gloria in three steps and two steps, hugged Gloria, and kissed Gloria on the forehead.
It is said that Li Mu has also known Will for many years, and this is the first time Li Mu has seen Will so gaffe, when Claudia was born II, he had never seen Will so happy.
This is nonsense, at that time, Gloria and Sandy had not yet accepted Claudia, and Will didn't dare to bring home a son, so even if he was happy, Will didn't dare to show it.
"God, Dad, you're drinking again-" Gloria didn't give Will a good look, the two of them are always like this, they miss each other when they don't see each other, and they start pinching after they can't finish three sentences when they meet.
"I'm celebrating with Reem that my Lily has finally become a mother." Will is right, in fact, Gloria is not against Will drinking, but only against Will drinking in the morning.
"Alright, Lily, you go wash up first, I'll talk to Will, what do you want for breakfast?" I'll have someone send it to you. Li Mu didn't dare to let Gloria stay in the living room for too long, don't let the child be influenced by his grandfather.
Gloria obviously enjoyed Li Mu's care, kissed Li Mu lightly on the cheek, and went back upstairs with the corner of her skirt.
"We can't drink too much, drink less, let's have two drinks at noon." Li Mu filled it up with Will, then corked the bottle and put it back on the wine rack.
"Hey, hey, I have to drink a few glasses every morning, it's a habit I've developed in Pennsylvania, damn it, it's so cold in Pennsylvania that you can go crazy if you don't drink some wine." Will was dissatisfied, and taking the wine away at this time would have killed Will.
Alcohol is not banned in the United States, especially in winter, and alcohol is one of the munitions, and it is on the same level as bullets.
"What's going on over there in Pennsylvania? Miners riots? I thought it was an oil worker. Li Mu had bad intentions and led the topic to Rockefeller.
Pennsylvania is the base camp of Standard Oil, and Pennsylvania is also the birthplace of Rockefeller, others don't know what virtue Rockefeller is, or they know but dare not speak out, Li Mu has no such concerns, Li Mu knows that Rockefeller has a criminal record, so when he heard about the Pennsylvania workers' riots, Li Mu's first thought was Standard Oil.
"No, no, this time it's not the oil workers, this time it's the miners, the iron mines in the Great Lakes area, the mine owners are so hateful, they make the workers work 14 hours a day, and in such a cold weather, the workers don't even get cotton clothes and hot food, so the miners destroy the equipment in the mine and stuff the ore into the mouth of the mine owner - it's a mess over there now, because of the intervention of the army, the situation is a little better, but there is no end in sight." When it comes to miners, Will's interest is not so high, and after learning about the miners' living conditions, Will thinks that if he were replaced by himself, maybe he will do more than that.
Even Will, the commander of the 1st Cavalry Division, thought so, and the mood of the other officers and men of the 1st Division can be imagined, no wonder it has been several months since Christmas, but the riots have not subsided.
"It's a pity that this kind of thing happened-" Li Mu echoed, wanting to be indignant, but suddenly thinking of Carnegie Rim Steel, the whole person suddenly felt bad.
Pittsburgh is also in the Great Lakes region, and if there is a problem with the mines in the Great Lakes region, then the most affected must be Carnegie Riem Steel.
"Anyway, I have a lot of ore in my hand now, how about it? Interested? Will casually threw out the bait, not afraid that Li Mu would not take the bait.
"How much more can you have, after all, you can't solve the problem-" Li Mu's mood suddenly deteriorated, Carnegie-Rim Steel Company has close business ties with the subsidiaries of the Junma Group, such as the gun steel of the Junma Arms Company, which is imported from Carnegie-Riem Steel, and the Junma Motor Company, which is a big steel company, if the raw materials can't keep up, the Junma Motor Company can't even complete Washington's order.
"If you want to do it once and for all, now is your chance." Will is not discouraged, the wise man must make a mistake in a thousand thoughts, and the fool must have a gain in a thousand thoughts, this is what Li Zuoche, the grandson of the famous general Li Mu, said.
"What chance?" Li Mu did not miss any opportunity.
"You know, the riots in Pennsylvania have been going on for months, and now Pennsylvania is full of unowned mines, and if you want, then maybe I can help." Will is the one who does not give in, of course, if there is a bargain, he must be close to his own people, not only the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law more and more pleasing to the eye, but also the father-in-law.
"Is there a way? If you can, of course, you know, many of my factories need a lot of steel, and without steel, you can't have everything, so-" Of course Li Mu wants, this is a good opportunity to meddle in the Great Lakes region, the steel industry will never go out of style, and in the next few decades or even more than a hundred years, it will be the golden age of the steel industry
After this village, there is no such shop, Li Mu said that he had to go to Carnegie, speaking of which, in the Great Lakes Basin, Carnegie is the real snake, and Carnegie's reputation in the Great Lakes region is probably about the same as Li Mu's in New York.
