Chapter 452: Clan Ancestor
Meng Ke has thought it through. No matter whether she makes the Luo family bleed heavily or deals a heavy blow to the Luo family, it cannot fundamentally solve the problem. It is most appropriate to replace one of her own people with the head position. She wants to solve the problem fundamentally.
The head of the Luo family is in his prime and it is impossible for him to be eliminated without making a serious mistake. Only by exposing the dirty things he has done can the Luo family be forced to change the head of the family.
Luo Jing called his father via video and briefly told him about the family affairs.
Father Luo sighed: "Dad is sorry for you and Xiaotian."
He shouldn't have compromised back then. As a child of a top family, if he couldn't give Xiaotian a perfect birth, the best choice would be not to have the child. However, he still nurtured Xiaotian out of his selfish desires, causing the child to suffer for half his life.
Fortunately, Xiaotian is lucky enough to meet a wife who loves him, so he can feel a little relieved.
"Dad, Xiaotian is very grateful to you for bringing him into this world. He always says that if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have had the chance to meet such a good wife."
"Yeah! I'm glad he doesn't blame me!"
Father Luo looked directly into his eldest son's eyes and asked, "Have you ever thought about continuing to be a family with Xiaotian?"
Did Luo Jing know what his father meant by this, asking him to become one of Meng Ke's husbands? He really hadn't thought about it.
"Sorry, Dad! I'm not planning on getting married."
Mr. Luo has had a look of worry on his face ever since his divorce.
"You don't have to apologize to me. Just think things through on your own about marriage. Dad has left the core circle of the family now, so I can't help you if anything really happens. I don't want your marriage to be controlled by the family. If you really reach a point where you can't move forward or backward, I hope you and Xiaotian can support each other."
"You don't have to worry too much. I haven't been completely unprepared over the years. At least when it comes to marriage, I won't let myself fall into a situation where I can't retreat."
"Good! Good!"
Luo's father said two good words in a row. For a moment, the father and son looked at each other in silence. They didn't know since when, the eldest son who always wanted to discuss everything with him had become able to stand on his own, while he had turned into a resentful husband, and had lost his former high spirits and ambition to make decisions.
Luo Jing took in the flash of inferiority in his father's eyes, but in the end he couldn't help but ask, "Dad, let's get a divorce!"
Look at what that woman has done to his proud father. That’s why marriage and love are so ridiculous. He doesn’t want to get involved in them in his life.
As usual, his father remained silent with his head down. Luo Jing was tired and didn't want to say anything anymore. He hung up the video call, but he felt like he was suppressing something in his heart and felt very uncomfortable.
For some reason, he video-called Meng Ke.
"what's up?"
Meng Ke is now on the opposite side of the Luo family. Even though Luo Jing is the eldest brother that Tiantian respects the most, she still wants to express her opposition.
"What? You've grown wings and want to commit suicide?"
Dreams don't talk, and quarreling is the most meaningless and least offensive means.
Luo Jing glanced at her sideways: "Where's Xiaotian?"
"studying."
It was rare for Lian Ye to come home, Luo Tian was very happy and invited her to his laboratory.
"I won't get married and have children. I plan to make Xiaotian's child the next generation heir of the Luo family."
He was informing her, not discussing it with Meng Ke.
Meng Ke frowned: "I can't decide on the children's affairs. As I said, when they can choose their own future, whether it's changing their surname or competing for the position of heir to the Luo family, I have no objection."
"Okay! Remember what you said today."
After Luo Jing hung up the video call, he remembered that he had originally wanted to remind this woman to be nicer to his brother and not let him down, otherwise he would make her suffer. However, he did not expect that after the video call was connected, he actually forgot the purpose of the call.
Forget it! Talking harshly is too childish. I'd better wait until this woman is looking for death before I take any ruthless action.
Meng Ke saw Luo Tian and Lian Ye doing medicine experiments, so she went to the kitchen to make soup for the husbands. Each husband had different physical conditions and drank different soups. After Meng Ke was ready, she saw Qingyou coming over as soon as she walked out of the kitchen.
"Wife, I have something I want to discuss with you."
"You said."
Qingyou stayed in the study for a long time this time, so Mengke took her for a walk in the garden.
Qingyou thought for a moment before speaking: "Can you give me a ginseng seedling?"
Meng Ke turned around and asked: "Do you have an elder who needs help?"
"Ok!"
In fact, all the major families have ancestors who guard the house. These ancestors don’t have much time left. If there is a way to prolong their lives, not only the ancestors themselves, but also their younger generations will get it at any cost and offer it to them.
"You can dig up as many ginseng seedlings as you want from the ecological park, but the fastest-growing ones have just sprouted. Ginseng genes are unstable under radiation, and even if I transplant them now, I can't guarantee their survival rate. How about waiting until the seedlings are bigger and then dig up as many as you want?"
The worry in Qingyou's eyes could not be dispelled: "Can it induce labor?"
"No! I've tried. Maybe it's genetic instability. Inducing labor will hasten death."
"Then wait."
Qingyou turned on her computer and wanted to confirm before dialing the video call: "How long do you estimate it will take for it to grow up?"
Meng Ke didn't know how to answer this question accurately. "If we're talking about growing branches and leaves, it will only take a month or so. But according to the growth trajectory of ginseng, they can live for thousands of years. The longer they grow, the higher their medicinal value. The specific details still need to be determined by experimental data."
Thinking of the ginseng seedlings that Ouyang Kong had taken away, Meng Ke suggested, "When Ouyang Kong comes back, I'll ask him if he can share the research data with you."
Qingyou shook her head: "I will discuss this matter directly with him, you don't need to ask him."
Meng Ke raised an eyebrow: "Who are you looking down on!"
Qingyou laughed: "It's not that you don't mean enough to him. On the contrary, it's because I know he cares about you very much, and I care about you too, that I don't want you to overdraw your relationship because of me."
Meng Ke wrinkled her nose: "What? Aren't we a family? It seems you don't consider yourselves as family, that's why you say such strange things."
"Brothers must also settle accounts."
Even if he is a gigolo, there is no reason for him to use his wife to live off his brother. He still has some dignity.
"Alright! You guys discuss it among yourselves. If you can't figure it out, then tell me. No matter what, when it comes to matters of life and death, profits have to take a back seat."
"Yeah! Got it!"
Qingyou put his arm around his wife's waist and showed her what he had just been doing in the study.
Meng Ke clicked her tongue after reading this: "Haven't you been marginalized by the Qing family? How dare you provoke the Luo family?"
Qingyou wasn't worried at all: "They bullied my wife, I have to take revenge, otherwise everyone will come and step on you, what should I do?!"
Meng Ke was a little touched: "What if the Luo family comes back to deal with you?"
"Even though the Luo family is a behemoth, they still have blind spots that they can't reach. I'm using that part of their power this time. Even if they're angry, there's nothing they can do."
Meng Ke shook his arm vigorously: "I'm talking about you. The Luo family will find out about you sooner or later. What will they do to you?"
"The Luo family attacked you and the child, and they attacked me. Since my wife is not afraid to confront them, why should I be afraid?"
Qingyou is usually elegant and calm, and it's rare to see her so irritable. Not to mention, it's quite rare for her to have such a bad temper.
"Alright! Anyway, you're going with me to the Insect Sea Star Region this time. If the Luo family dares to touch you, we won't return to the main planet."
"Okay! Listen to my wife."
That being said, both of them knew that it was impossible. When Qingyou was not on a mission, her work location was on the main planet.
"By the way, wife, have you told Lei Hu about this?"
Meng Ke paused, "Oh my god! She had actually forgotten about it!"
"I'll tell you now!"
She prayed in her heart that Lei Hu was on a mission and was unaware of her negligence, but things often go against one's wishes. As soon as the message was sent, Meng Ke received a video call from Lei Hu.
"My wife finally remembered me?"
Don't be too sour in your words.
