How did I become a god

Chapter 1716 Appeasement and Response

When Ling Chuqing received Li Mengwei's call, she was resting and preparing for childbirth at a lakeside villa in Jinling Science and Technology Park in Lishui, on the outskirts of Jinling.

Her parents both live in Nanjing, and Jing Gao has also designated Nanjing as the key city for the development of his companies. She has decided to settle in Nanjing.

Qiongzhou Island is a place of sorrow for her; her deceased husband's relatives and friends are all there, and she has no plans to return.

Ling Chuqing sat down, dressed in a moon-white ramie dress. She exuded an elegant and radiant aura, gentle and delicate, with a slightly protruding belly.

She originally owned a villa in the Qinhuai River area, but because she was a widow and her father worked in Nanjing, living in such a densely populated area made her feel insecure. She was always afraid of being exposed and causing unnecessary trouble.

Hearing Li Mengwei's voice, Ling Chuqing's deep-seated guilt resurfaced. She was carrying Jing Gao's child! This was so unfair to Weiwei. Originally, after she met Weiwei, they became close. Weiwei regarded her as a confidante and often consulted her on the principles of marital relationships.

After she became pregnant, she gradually distanced herself from Weiwei. She genuinely didn't want to hurt Weiwei. Saying that might sound hypocritical, but people aren't numb. She couldn't continue to associate with Weiwei and act as Weiwei's "confidante" while feeling guilty.

Weiwei probably guessed that she was becoming distant, since she and Weiwei met through Jing Gao.

Ling Chuqing's tone became even gentler: "Weiwei, what's wrong? You don't sound well."

"Sister Chuqing, I..."

Li Mengwei sighed softly and poured out her troubles and worries, "I was talking to Jing Gao on the phone just now. He called me, and we were having a good conversation when my mom interrupted and asked him when he was coming back to Beijing..."

Ling Chuqing gently brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, remaining silent and listening patiently.

"So many women are throwing themselves at him now, including wealthy women from the system whose family backgrounds can help his career."

My marriage to him was entirely based on our initial feelings for each other. Neither I nor my family offered him any help in his career or life. Sister Chuqing, sometimes I'm really afraid…”

Li Mengwei poured out her long-standing unease.

Ling Chuqing gently comforted her, calmly analyzing, "Weiwei, don't underestimate yourself. You are not without help to Jing Gao!"
You gave him a peaceful and warm home! Moreover, you are intelligent and virtuous, with a bachelor's degree from Beijing Normal University and a master's degree from Peking University, which will be a great advantage for your child's future education.

In that city of Beijing, there aren't many girls who can compare to you and are suitable for Jinggao. You need to believe in your own strengths.”

She is 32 years old this year. It is now 2019. A large number of men and women have not entered into marriage. There are various games in the matchmaking market. She often follows several marriage broker bloggers and has a fairly clear understanding of this aspect.

Vivi is indeed the girl most suitable for Jing Gao.

The answer to why Jing Gao didn't marry a noblewoman from a prominent family is obvious. He didn't want to be tied down.

In earlier years, the social hierarchy in China was: scholars, farmers, artisans, and merchants. Regardless of how times have changed, merchants who only possessed capital did not hold a high position in the social system.

If Jing Gao were to marry a woman from a prominent family, he would most likely become a front man. A family of medium size would offer Jing Gao limited support.

Therefore, he will definitely choose to marry a girl who suits his taste.

So, who could compare to Weiwei, who is pure and alluring, with stunning beauty, a harmonious family, a high level of education, a kind and gentle heart, and who wouldn't restrain him?

Li Mengwei was in a slightly better mood and smiled.

Her biggest "enemy," her former best friend Chen Yujie, most likely lost to her in the family aspect. Chen Yujie is an illegitimate child.

"Sister Chuqing, thank you. I'm really worried that he'll distance himself from me because of my mother's attitude. You know, he's always so polite and courteous, gentle and refined, but everyone has a temper."

I don't know what he was thinking back then. With his current achievements, no one outside should give him a hard time, right? But...sigh." There were some things she couldn't say aloud. Those daughters pointing out their mother's faults.

Her husband, Jing Gao, is an introverted person. He doesn't say many things directly and has a gentle nature. But…

Ling Chuqing said, "Weiwei, don't worry too much. Talk to him later and see if there's anything you can't talk about between you and your husband."

He still loves you very much.

"And then, is it because Jing Gao has always acted very humble and mild-mannered in front of your family, to the point that...your mother treats him like an ordinary person?"

That's life.

When family members spend a lot of time together, even the highest-ranking boss or official won't feel much fear.

She knew Jing Gao too well. That man seemed low-key and easy-going, but deep down he harbored his own pride.

Since his rise to power, he has never been defeated in any battle, big or small. How could he not be proud?

His pride wasn't expressed in arrogance towards kings and nobles or condescension towards lower-ranking officials. Rather, it was a sense of detachment. His philosophy was "to compete with like-minded people, but not to argue with fools."

"Yes," Li Mengwei admitted in a low voice. In front of her parents, Jing Gao was always the polite, considerate, and gentle junior, never revealing even a hint of the arrogance of a business tycoon.

But she knew it in her heart!

Although she didn't accompany her husband to participate in his business affairs, she would secretly inquire about things in private. His chief secretary, Guan Yujia, wouldn't hide many things from her.

These women were all present at her wedding.

Being in the position of Inoue's wife, while enjoying unparalleled glory, she also endured unimaginable pressure. She suddenly had a sense of absurdity, as if she were in a fantasy novel, where everything seemed peaceful on the surface, but in reality, enemies were everywhere and every step was fraught with danger.

That's the source of her worries.

"Weiwei, you've done a great job and your position is secure. From now on, you need to have your own ideas and persistence, and don't let your family's attitudes influence you. After all, you're husband and wife as one."

Ling Chuqing encouraged him firmly, "You are his wife now, the mother of his child. Just keep in touch with him. What knots can't be untied between husband and wife? Communicate more, let him know your difficulties and dependence."

"Then, you need to create an opportunity for your parents, especially your mother, to directly experience Jing Gao's true strength. Not to show off, but to make them truly value him and realize what kind of person their son-in-law really is. Only with reverence can you earn respect and a sense of boundaries."

He definitely wouldn't be able to do this on his own; you need to help him save face.

Li Mengwei pondered for a moment, then had a general idea in mind. "Sister Chuqing, thank you, I understand what to do."

"You're welcome, Vivi. I'd be happy to help you."

Li Mengwei said, "Sister Chuqing, let's keep in touch more often in the future, don't distance yourself from me."

A wave of guilt washed over Ling Chuqing, and she said gently, "Okay, Weiwei."

After hanging up the phone, Li Mengwei thought for a moment, then took out her phone and called her father, Li Hanqing. "Dad, I want to donate a building to Taizhou University in the name of Jing Gao or myself, or set up an economic forum."

Li Hanqing: "."
