Global End, I Awaken the Unique Rank Speedrun Dungeon
Chapter 63 You Forced Me to Do This
Mengchuan was stunned.
I was unable to come to my senses for a long time.
Zhuang Yu scoffed at the patriarch. He had always educated Meng Ling with the family's ideals. From childhood to adulthood, Meng Ling had heard the most about dedicating herself to the family.
Mengchuan may yearn for fatherly love, but under pressure from most of the family's higher-ups, or out of principle, or because they don't want to put Mengchuan in a difficult position.
She chose to accept the family's arrangements.
This patriarch, who calls himself Mengling's father, doesn't even understand his own daughter.
It's not as good as the information Zhuang Yu obtained from the archives.
That's ridiculous.
"Since Mengling agrees, then I have nothing more to say." Mengchuan's voice was dejected.
Mengxuan chuckled and said, "Mengchuan, now that Mengling's matter is settled, let's continue discussing who will succeed as the head of the family."
Meng Chuan's forehead veins bulged: "Meng Xuan! Don't push your luck!"
He even agreed to let Mengling leave to participate in that bullshit Great Wall of Wish Power Project.
That bastard Mengxuan is still clinging to him.
Does he really intend to take away his position as head of the family?
"Ha, Mengchuan, the Meng family has not achieved the development it deserves under your leadership all these years. The ship of the new era ultimately belongs to the young people."
"Since you have neither merit nor virtue, you should give your position to a talented junior."
Meng Chuan was consumed by rage; he had worried himself sick over the years for the Meng family.
Busy with work every day, he even neglected his relationship with his family. When Meng Ling's unique awakened sequence reappeared before him.
He didn't even know what food Mengling liked, what she enjoyed, or what her hobbies were.
He dedicated half his life to his family.
In the end, they ended up with nothing to show for their efforts?
"Meng Xuan, as the number one family in China, countless eyes are watching us. In recent years, I have devoted myself to expanding the family and ensuring that the Meng family has not declined. This has already been an immense achievement!"
"What right do you have to say I'm useless and without merit! I'm more useful than you, a million times better than a bunch of good-for-nothings who just sit at the conference table complaining!"
"I am the most talented patriarch of the Meng family! Yet you want to seize my position and pass it on to your descendants. You are the most incompetent and corrupt member of the Meng family, a parasite that instigates internal strife!"
Mengchuan passionately finished speaking the words that had been weighing on his mind.
Even Mengling and Mengtian didn't expect their father to lose his composure at the family meeting.
"Are you done talking?"
Meng Xuan gave a forced smile and said indifferently, "Now that you've finished speaking, let's begin the family head election. Raise your hand if you support Meng Chuan continuing as family head."
More than ten elders of the Meng family.
Only two people raised their hands.
"Raise your hand if you support Meng Tan succeeding as the head of the family."
Everyone else raised their hands.
Meng Tan stood up from his seat: "It is an honor to have the support of all the elders. I am confident that I am no less capable than Clan Chief Meng Chuan, and I believe that under my leadership and with the assistance of the elders, the clan will surely reach new heights!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap clap!"
Inside the council chamber, the harsh applause felt like slaps to Mengchuan's face.
A burning pain.
"No, you can't do this to me!!"
Mengchuan smashed the glass on the table like a madman.
He said unwillingly, "I'm not old enough to retire yet. I am Meng Ling's father. Without me, the Meng family would have lost its only Level 1 Sequence member. You are the culprits who caused the Meng family's destruction!"
Zhuang Yu then spoke up: "Patriarch Meng, don't take yourself too seriously. It's the same whether you're here or not. Meng Ling won't abandon the Meng family for your sake."
This reassured Mengxuan and the others.
Zhuang Yu raised his stakes: "With me here and Meng Ling here, the Meng family will have a place in China in the future. But I hope the Meng family can recognize reality and not try to reach higher."
Mengxuan smiled ingratiatingly: "Brother Zhuang is young and promising, I admire you. Don't worry, we are not that greedy wolf Mengchuan, we will not do anything outrageous."
Zhuang Yu would never allow a capitalist family like the Meng family to expand its influence into the military and political arena.
If it weren't for Meng Ling's sake...
He could not tolerate the Meng family.
The family system is deeply rooted, and eradicating it will not be accomplished overnight; it requires a gradual approach.
Mengtian clutched the hem of her clothes; she never imagined things would turn out this way.
Aside from stating her position, Mengling didn't say anything else.
They certainly have feelings for their father, Mengchuan, but no matter what they say now, it cannot change the fact that Mengchuan has lost his status as the head of the family.
Mengtian suddenly realized that it should have been a happy thing that her half-sister, whom she hated, was leaving the Meng family forever to guard the Great Wall of Wish Power.
But when my wish came true, I felt surprisingly calm.
Now that her father has lost his position as head of the family, she can perhaps live a life like an ordinary person.
I can live an ordinary life with my mother...
"No!!!"
Mengchuan's roar echoed through the council hall once again.
"Mengling, quickly say something for your father! As long as you firmly disagree with them changing the head of the family, I will still be the head of the Meng family, I am the true head of the Meng family!"
Faced with Meng Chuan's earnest gaze, Meng Ling felt as if her heart had been struck.
Meng Xuan and the others became nervous. The reason they were so confident was that they had already negotiated with Zhuang Yu.
I learned from him that Mengling values family, and even kinship cannot outweigh family ideals.
Furthermore, Zhuang Yu guaranteed that even if Meng Ling insisted on Meng Chuan serving as the clan leader, he would compensate them in other ways.
After Mengling leaves, whether to continue pressuring to seize the position of Mengchuan family head or to split the family through internal strife, Zhuang Yu will support them.
"No, Father, even if you are still the head of the family, what difference does it make? The hearts of the people have already been broken."
"If the elders can truly bring a bright future to the clan, why not let them develop the clan?"
Mengchuan choked with emotion and remained silent for a long time.
Even his own daughter is unwilling to speak up for him now.
What a failure I've been living.
"...Haha, hahahahaha!"
Everyone looked at the seemingly insane Meng Chuan, wondering what had gotten into him.
Mengxuan was about to send someone to drag him away.
Mengchuan stopped laughing.
He glanced at everyone present and said, "You forced me to do this."
"Mengling, do you know that your mother never actually left? She didn't abandon you."
"I didn't mean to break up with her at the time; I just wanted her to stay with me from the shadows."
"But she absolutely refused, so in order to keep her, I locked her in a secret basement room in the house and kept her there."
"I have been showing her your photos regularly. She knows what her daughter looks like and has always hoped to see you in person."
"Mengling, please don't leave us. I promise you, I will give you a complete family from now on."
Mengchuan continued speaking, ignoring the utterly shocked crowd present.
Pointing at Mengtian: "If you hate your sister... Mengtian, I can expel her from the family, divorce your stepmother, and make them experience the pain you suffered back then."
