My Co-renting Lady Boss

Meng Ruming, Meng Liang, and two white-haired elders in white were gathered around a middle‑aged man lying on a bedding, all of them looking questioningly at Meng Xianjun.

"Uh... Medicine Immortal and Medicine Saint, you two seniors are here as well."

Meng Xianjun swallowed awkwardly. "Grandpa Meng Liang, what’s going on?"

"Xiao Jun, when did you come back?"

Meng Ruming asked in puzzlement.

"I just got back... Aunt, look who this is?"

Meng Xianjun came to his senses and hurriedly pulled Liu Mengting over.

Liu Mengting looked nervously at the people in the room, and finally her gaze stopped on the only woman.

"Liu Mengting? Why did you bring her here?"

Seeing Liu Mengting, Meng Ruming’s expression changed dramatically!

Right now her husband’s injuries had only just begun to improve under the treatment of the Meng Family’s two Medical Skill experts, and her daughter had been brought back to the Meng Family. This family of three was now all trapped.

"Haven’t you always missed your daughter?"

Meng Xianjun looked blankly at Meng Ruming. "Don’t you want to see her?"

"You—you’re simply making a mess of things!"

Meng Ruming scolded impatiently.

Hearing this, Liu Mengting’s face went deathly pale. She had imagined many possible scenes of meeting her mother, but she had never imagined that her mother would be this cold, even a bit annoyed, as if she didn’t want to see her at all.

"The Young Lady’s daughter?"

The two Doctors of the Meng Family were startled, then immediately got up and walked out quickly. The moment they stepped out the door, they raised a hand and fired a brilliant firework into the sky.

"It’s over!"

Meng Ruming and Meng Liang exchanged a look and sighed at the same time.

"What’s going on? Why did the two seniors fire the emergency summon signal?"

Meng Xianjun stared darkly at the two Doctors, once again feeling that the Family must have another reason for looking for Liu Mengting.

"Isn’t it all because you brought her back and stirred up trouble."

Meng Ruming glared at Meng Xianjun, clearly annoyed.

"Since you’re so unwilling to see me, then I’ll just leave."

Liu Mengting gritted her teeth and snorted, then turned to walk out.

"What do you take our Meng Family for, a place you can come and go as you please?"

At this moment, a low voice rang out, and then figures flashed like lightning around the small courtyard, sealing it off so tightly not even water could get through.

"Family Head, Young Master says this girl is indeed the Young Lady’s daughter."

The two Doctors immediately walked up to Meng Rushan to report.

"She does look sixty to seventy percent like her. It can’t be wrong."

Meng Rushan narrowed his eyes, excitedly sizing up Liu Mengting.

"Y‑you... what are you going to do?"

Seeing so many people suddenly appear, Liu Mengting sensed that something was wrong and immediately questioned them warily.

"Swoosh!"

Right then, a figure appeared in front of Liu Mengting, directly shielding her behind.

Liu Mengting focused and saw that the one blocking in front of her was that beautiful woman from before. According to Meng Xianjun, this should be her mother.

"Anyone who dares harm my daughter will have to get past me first."

Meng Ruming stood protectively before Liu Mengting, staring firmly at Meng Rushan and the others.

"Little sister, this isn’t up to you! Although after the Doctors’ treatment, Liu Gaoze has recovered his senses, he has stubbornly refused to reveal your daughter’s whereabouts. The Family has been very anxious."

Meng Rushan looked at Meng Ruming impassively. "I didn’t expect Xiao Jun to finally do something useful and bring her back. That only shows this is Heaven’s will."

"Dad, w‑what exactly is going on?"

Meng Xianjun looked at Meng Xianjun in confusion. "Bringing my cousin back, is there some reason beyond just recognizing kin?"

"Recognizing kin? Heh, what right does a bastard have to claim kinship with our Meng Family?"

The white‑haired Third Elder curled his lip in disdain.

"Third Elder, if you dare call my daughter a bastard again, don’t blame me for being rude."

Cold light flashed in Meng Ruming’s eyes and a massive aura surged from her body. "All these years, for my husband and daughter’s safety, I’ve let you all push me around. Did you really think I was easy to bully?"

"You want to rebel?"

Seeing Meng Ruming about to act, the Third Elder and the others immediately began Cultivation, releasing their auras to suppress her.

"Hahaha! I know I alone can’t oppose the Family, but if you push me too far, then we’ll just go down together."

Meng Ruming laughed wildly, looking domineeringly at everyone. "Now that our family of three is reunited, at worst we die together and head to the Netherworld as one."

"What on earth is going on?"

Liu Mengting and Meng Xianjun were both completely at a loss.

Especially Liu Mengting. She had thought, seeing how unhappy her mother was at the sight of her, that her mother didn’t want to see her. But now it seemed there was more to it, and her father was here too?

"What a dead girl, always siding with outsiders."

The Third Elder cursed and looked toward Meng Rushan. "Family Head, give the order now and have this family of three all taken down."

Meng Rushan frowned tightly at Meng Ruming, ignoring the Third Elder. "Little sister, why put yourself through this? The Family’s interests are greater than the sky. This is the awareness every Meng Family Disciple should have. You failed the Meng Family’s expectations back then, so it’s only right that your daughter makes up for it. Acting like this—where does that leave you?"

"I am a member of the Meng Family, but have you ever treated me as a person?"

Meng Ruming stared at Meng Rushan with hatred. "Fighting for the Family’s interests is my duty, but none of you ever told me that as a Moonfall Trace participating in the Heaven’s Awakening Plan I would have to sacrifice my life. Instead you hid the truth from me all along."

"This..."

Meng Rushan was momentarily speechless.

"Hmph! If Ru Huan hadn’t told me the truth, I really would’ve stupidly thought that becoming the Family’s Moonfall Trace was some sort of honor. In the end it was all lies and deceit."

Meng Ruming snorted coldly, taking a firm stand. "You didn’t get your way back then, and now it’s even less possible for you to harm my daughter."

"The Moonfall Trace will die? Dad, what’s going on?"

Meng Xianjun immediately looked to Meng Rushan. This was the first time he’d heard of such a thing, and he also finally understood why his aunt would rather be imprisoned in the Family all these years than go down the mountain to look for Liu Mengting.

If all of this was true, then by bringing Liu Mengting to the Meng Family, hadn’t he harmed her? How was he ever going to explain this to Tang Ming?

"This doesn’t concern you for now. I’ll explain it to you later."

Meng Rushan glanced at Meng Xianjun, then looked expressionlessly at Liu Ruming. "Little sister, whether you’re willing to accept it or not, your daughter is already in the Meng Family. What happens next is no longer up to her.

Men, seal off the courtyard. No one is allowed to leave."

"Big brother, you really are forcing me."

Meng Ruming gnashed her teeth, glaring at Meng Rushan.

"The Family’s interests are greater than the sky, and this also concerns the rise and fall of the Martial Arts world. A small sacrifice is necessary."

Meng Rushan snorted coldly and turned his head to look at the Elders behind him.
