My Co-renting Lady Boss

The elders immediately spread out, then simultaneously summoned an energy barrier to envelop everyone in the courtyard.

"Dad, why is this happening? Aunt is still part of the Meng Family."

Meng Xianjun asked anxiously.

"Shut up."

Meng Rushan scolded, then looked complexly at Meng Ruming.

"Little sister, your family of three should not think about leaving here, and the Meng Family definitely won’t let Liu Mengting escape. Fortunately, your family is united, I won’t make things difficult for you. I hope you enjoy the time ahead, when the time is right, whether you want to or not, Liu Mengting must represent the Meng Family in the Apocalypse Plan."

As soon as the words dropped, Meng Rushan turned and left, leaving behind the masters maintaining the barrier, no longer engaging with Meng Ruming.

"Ah!"

After everyone left, Meng Ruming sighed helplessly and turned to Liu Mengting: "Mengting, you shouldn’t have come to the Meng Family!"

"I... I really don’t know what is going on?"

Liu Mengting shook her head blankly, "What is this about?"

"First, let’s go see your father, I’ll explain everything to you slowly."

Meng Ruming sighed painfully and pointed to the room: "Your father is seriously injured."

"Is my father really here?"

Liu Mengting exclaimed and quickly rushed into the room.

"Miss, it’s completely finished now! This is the Four Directions Prison Dragon Formation, even if we join forces, we can’t break it with our cultivation."

Meng Liang looked helplessly at the surrounding energy barrier.

"Even if we could break the barrier, what then?"

Meng Ruming smiled bitterly: "The Meng Family has many masters, and even though I am a Three-star Martial General, I can’t fight against the strong ones in the family, and moreover, I have to take care of my husband and Mengting, there’s no way to escape."

"It’s really... almost twenty years, we’ve kept it hidden all this time, but in the end, it’s still like this, it’s destiny."

Meng Lian sighed helplessly.

"Yes! If I had known this, I shouldn’t have stayed separated from them father and daughter all these years, wasting twenty years in vain."

Meng Ruming sighed painfully, since the outcome can’t be changed, what’s the meaning of those twenty years of longing, and life-and-death separation?

Liu Mengting rushed into the room, finally seeing that the middle-aged man lying there was indeed Liu Gaoze, although his appearance had changed a bit, she could tell at a glance that it was her father.

"Dad, what’s happened to you?"

Liu Mengting fell beside Liu Gaoze, looking nervously at the pale-faced, weak-breathed Liu Gaoze.

"My dear, why are you here, you shouldn’t have come."

Liu Gaoze looked painfully at Liu Mengting, injured too severely, although after some treatment he regained consciousness, he was still very weak.

This must be the doctor from the Meng Family leaving a margin, deliberately not letting Liu Gaoze fully recover, only letting him wake up to interrogate Liu Mengting’s whereabouts.

"Wah, what’s going on? Why do you all say that?"

Liu Mengting couldn’t help but cry: "Why were you hurt so badly?"

"Mengting, do you think your mother didn’t want to see you?"

At that moment, Meng Ruming walked in, sat on the other side of Liu Gaoze, while helping Liu Gaoze massage his arm, looked wistfully at Liu Mengting: "I didn’t go see you all these years for a reason. Your father got beaten severely by the people from the Meng Family because he wanted to see me, and I was most afraid of you being discovered by the Meng Family, and as a result..."

"Ruming, is there really no chance?"

Liu Gaoze looked excitedly at Meng Ruming: "I couldn’t care less about dying, but our daughter is still young, she’s still so young!"

"There’s no way out."

Meng Ruming shook her head helplessly.

"What exactly is going on?"

Liu Mengting looked conflictedly at Liu Gaoze and Meng Ruming, having imagined countless times the scene of the family reunion, but never expected an outcome like this.

"Ah!"

Meng Ruming sighed, then narrated the events’ cause and effect.

After listening to the events, Liu Mengting was stunned, never imagined her family background would be so bizarre and involve a massive secret concerning the entire Martial Arts world.

"Mengting, don’t blame your mother for being heartless and not visiting you, I truly didn’t dare to see you and your father."

Meng Ruming looked guilty at Liu Mengting: "I only went to Songlan City once, secretly observing you and your father, but even like that, the Meng Family traced my visit back to Songlan City, Meng Xianjun found you because of that one single loss of self-control.

If I had known, I really shouldn’t have gone to Songlan City."

"Ruming, it’s not your fault, you also had a tough life all these years."

Liu Gaoze hurriedly consoled.

"I..."

Liu Mengting moved her lips but didn’t know what to say, maybe once held resentment towards Meng Ruming, but now knowing the truth, what is left to say?

"Back then, your aunt’s husband’s family, North China’s Tang Family, was also a top hidden force, but because the Son of Sunken Star descended on the Tang Family, the whole Tang Family was annihilated, from this, one can imagine how important you, as Moonfall Trace, are to the Meng Family."

Meng Ruming looked complexly at Liu Mengting: "The Tang Family faced extinction because of this, our family of three can’t possibly resist, and the Meng Family won’t give up this plan for me alone. The Meng Family is ultimately not like the Tang Family, that kind of hardened family!"

"Aunt was the Tang Family’s Family Head’s wife, and her son was engaged to me from childhood, so does that mean, Tang Ming and I are cousins?"

Liu Mengting asked Liu Gaoze uncertainly.

"I’m not clear on the specifics, I only knew back then that after Ruming and I got together, there was strong opposition from the Meng Family, and your engagement with Tang Ming was orchestrated by Ruming."

Liu Gaoze shook his head: "Only recently did I hear your mother talk about the reasons in detail; it all finally became clear why the Meng Family reacted so strongly against Ruming and I."

"So, what should we do now?"

Liu Mengting became anxious, regretting that she hadn’t clarified with Tang Ming before running to the Meng Family.

"Ah! There’s nothing more to do, we can only leave it to fate; fortunately, our family of three is reunited, maybe destined for tragedy in the future, but let’s cherish this moment of reunion."

Meng Ruming sighed bitterly.

"Congratulations to Miss on the family reunion."

Meng Liang stood aside, his eyes moist and he congratulated, what a tragic solution, reunited yet destined to end without fulfillment.

"Don’t worry, if it really comes to that, our family will face the Netherworld together; mother has endured too much pain these past ten years."

Meng Ruming firmly held Liu Gaoze and Liu Mengting’s hands: "Mengting, can you call me mom?"
