Chapter 449 The Main Seat
Meng Ke sent a message to Luo Jing: "Can I ask a question?"
"Say!"
Luo Jing only sent one word, obviously he was not impatient, or the surrounding situation was special and it was not appropriate to say more.
Meng Ke asked, "Does the head of your Luo family have much power? For example, do the other elders have a veto over major decisions?"
"Big, no."
Oh? Meng Ke was somewhat pleased to see this result. It seemed that it wasn't necessary to fight to the death.
"How can I become the head of the family?"
Luo Jing knew what Meng Ke was thinking and sent a message: "The head of the family is in his prime, it is not time to take over."
Meng Ke didn't read the last sentence of the conclusion, but stared at the words "The head of the family is in the prime of his life."
"Tiantian, how much do you know about the Patriarch's affairs?"
"Homeowner?"
"Ok!"
As if thinking of something, Luo Tian felt a little disappointed: "He doesn't like me."
Just five simple words, and the meaning is clear.
Not all children in the Luo family are gifted. Generally, children with low talents either enjoy the family's ordinary resources and become the screws of the family when they grow up, or they are like Luo Tian, who are protected by their family and their family members squeeze out resources for their growth, so that they are not restrained by the family when they grow up.
"You've never enjoyed the family's resources, so why does the family still have the nerve to exploit you?"
The Luo family had never bullied Luo Tian in front of Meng Ke before, and Luo Jing had lent his identity to help Meng Ke get a lot of robots, so she didn't care too much about the mutual benefit. But now, the more she looked into it, the more she felt something was wrong.
"I overheard someone say once that they wanted to use me to restrain Big Brother and tie him to their ship. And... they also had bad intentions towards me. I don't like them!"
Luo Tian was afraid that his wife would misunderstand him, so he explained immediately at the end.
Meng Ke was too distressed to misunderstand, so she circled the person and swayed gently from side to side, like a tumbler that was about to stop, which made Luo Tian feel very comfortable and a little drowsy.
But I can’t sleep. There are still very important things to discuss.
He tried hard to keep his eyes open, but Meng Ke gently laid him down on the bed and coaxed him to sleep.
After Luo Tian fell asleep, Meng Ke sent a message to Luo Jing: "I want to talk to your family head."
There was no immediate reply from the other side, but the message was forwarded to the group.
This group includes nearly half of the Luo family’s decision-makers, and is considered the family’s core circle. The group leader is the head of the Luo family.
At this time, Patriarch Luo was receiving Patriarch Ouyang and Patriarch Lei, and even Patriarch Gongsun came to join in the fun.
After seeing the message, Patriarch Luo smiled warmly: "This girl wants to see me. Since you are all here, why not meet her together?"
Patriarch Ouyang and Patriarch Lei exchanged a glance, and Patriarch Ouyang nodded to Patriarch Luo: "Alright!"
He was also very curious about how Meng Ke was going to deal with the aftermath.
It is impossible for the alliance to fall into chaos because of a small matter. The top families are complicated and it is impossible for them to completely turn against each other because of such a thing. They can speak for Meng Ke, but specifically, it depends on what she wants to do.
As long as her behavior is not too stupid or extreme, it is not a problem for them to help out or even make the Luo family bow their heads.
But what happened next left the four families confused. Even the head of the Gongsun family sighed, "They are still too young. They were frightened by Old Luo and shrunk. This won't do! Ouyang and Old Lei, you are protecting your son and daughter-in-law too well. They haven't experienced the wind and rain of the world. This won't do. They need to be disciplined."
The head of the Lei family understood his thoughts very well and glanced at him coldly: "I think it's fine. Don't worry about it."
Patriarch Ouyang was also a protective person. He gave Patriarch Gongsun a warning look and said, "Don't touch her."
The head of the Gongsun family was joking: "Oh! Ouyang, you are really wronging me. I dare not touch her. I heard that she was almost completely disabled this time, but it was all thanks to Lao Luo."
"Oh? You have something against my Luo family?"
At this moment, a figure who had been hiding in the shadows appeared. The four family heads saw the newcomer and stood up to salute him: "Greetings, Ancestor Qi!"
"Ok!"
Patriarch Qi walked up to Patriarch Luo and tapped him on the shoulder. "You're so careless, being tricked by a junior without even realizing it. Are you going backwards as you grow older?"
Because Meng Ke exposed the matter of mushroom spores due to the child swap, Old Ancestor Qi did not show up when Meng Ke appeared, but kept observing her actions. Sure enough, he used his mental power to detect what the little girl had done.
The head of the Luo family was also shocked. He knew that Meng Ke had used mushrooms to escape danger when she was in school before, and this time it was because of the mushroom spores that the child they hid was exposed. He didn't expect that he was still confused by Meng Ke's acting skills and looked down on her.
Patriarch Qi took the main seat where Patriarch Luo had originally been, and looked at the remaining three Patriarchs. "Are you here to seek justice for that girl?"
The pressure from Patriarch Qi is very strong, and the other three people were able to become the heads of top families, not because they were scared.
On the contrary, in the face of pressure, the three family heads put down their masks, each of them was domineering and not a bit weaker than Ancestor Qi.
Patriarch Qi was quite dissatisfied with this result. In his opinion, the Ouyang family was fine, after all, they had the status of the eldest brother of the aristocratic family. But why did the Gongsun family and the Lei family have such status? Their families were not as good as the Luo family, and their strength was far inferior to his, yet they dared not bow their heads in front of him and were looking for death!
Thinking of this, Ancestor Qi’s mental power suddenly attacked the two of them.
"Ancestor, no!"
The two attacks did not fall on the head of the Lei family and the head of the Gongsun family, but all fell on the head of the Luo family. He could not bear it for a moment and spit out blood.
Ancestor Qi was so disappointed that he even thought about changing the head of the family: "You dare to stop me?!"
When he was in the prime of his life, even the then head of the family had to avoid the spotlight, so he always acted as he pleased, and no one except the one from the Ouyang family could ever make him lose face.
But the one who was several decades older than him probably has passed away now.
However, people are most susceptible to being reminded of things. As soon as he thought of this, the old face that he least wanted to see in his life appeared in his sight.
Old Ancestor Qi stood up in shock, thinking he had seen it wrong, and rubbed his eyes.
But...yes! It's still that person.
"you are still alive?"
An old man who looked like an immortal came over. He didn't even look at Ancestor Qi and strode forward. If it weren't for his white hair, which was a sign of his body aging instantly, one would really think he was in his prime.
The immortal old man’s goal is the main seat. As long as he is present, no one else is qualified to sit in the main seat. This is a rule that has been formed over thousands of years.
Patriarch Qi subconsciously made way, and after the other party sat down, he realized that he should have resisted. Otherwise, if this person's strength declined, he would have been at a disadvantage for being so cowardly.
The old immortal has been dealing with him for thousands of years, so how could he not see his little thoughts?
"What a prospect! You only bullied your own family before, and now that you're old and dying, you're still bullying the younger generation."
Patriarch Qi was not convinced: "I didn't, I just wanted to train a successor."
"Take over? Take over what shift? Take over your shift? What shift are you in? The shift of bullying?"
The immortal old man asked a series of questions, and Patriarch Qi became more and more unconvinced: "Old Yin Yang, I'm warning you, the outcome of our fight is still uncertain, so stop being so arrogant!"
After saying that, he rolled up his sleeves like a street thug, ready to fight with his fists and feet.
