Chapter 456 Five-party voting
Lei Hu's voice came from the other side: "I will strengthen the manor's defense later and rebuild the basement. It will be no problem to arrange it before you come over."
Seeing that the matter was settled, Meng stopped objecting and said, "Okay! I will live in the manor outside the base with the children from now on."
Thinking of the small villa at the base, Meng Ke asked, "Do you think the small villa at the base will be safer?"
"The base is indeed safer, but all villas in the base are owned by the military. Unauthorized renovations are not allowed. If someone with ulterior motives infiltrates, the children will be in even greater danger."
No matter how strict the discipline of an army is, it cannot guarantee that no one will exploit loopholes. Compared with the protection of the base, Lei Hu trusts more in the fortress he built with his own hands.
Meng Ke nodded: "You make sense. Let's live outside the base."
"Ok!"
Lei Hu had something to do, so he quickly hung up the video call and went to make arrangements. He was now only thinking about his wife coming over as soon as possible, so he was extremely efficient.
Luo Jing was very quick. That night, before Meng Ke went to bed, he delivered the things to the outside of the villa.
The light brain rang, and seeing that it was Luo Jing, Meng Ke picked up the phone: "What's the matter?"
"I'm at the door, open it."
This time Meng didn't refuse anyone entry, but opened the door for them to come in.
Ouyang Kong's interest was interrupted just as he was getting excited. As he followed his wife downstairs, he looked at Luo Jing, whose nose was not a nose and eyes were not eyes. He said something rather rude: "Master Luo..."
"Big brother!"
Before Ouyang Kong could make a move, Luo Tian's surprised voice sounded behind him.
Luo Tian hurried downstairs from Meng Ke's side. Meng Ke was a little worried and reminded him, "Walk slowly. Your brother is not an ice cube. He will melt if the temperature is too high."
Luo Jing stood in the middle of the living room, greeted his younger brother, and laughed out loud when he heard Meng Ke's words: "Sister-in-law is right, I'm really not that fragile. At least my spirit body won't drain half of my life with just one skill."
Ouyang Kong's eyes suddenly turned cold: "What? Is this the attitude of the Luo family when they come to apologize?"
Luo Jing's current status is not comparable to that of Ouyang Kong, a mere councilor. Not only is he not afraid of Ouyang Kong, he is even full of momentum.
"It's not the Ouyang family's turn to comment on the Luo family's attitude."
Ouyang Kong was wearing casual clothes at home at this time. He had changed into them specially in order to go downstairs to entertain guests. In front of Luo Jing, who was wearing a well-tailored suit, he did look a lot less imposing.
But as soon as Ouyang Kong sat down in the main seat, he was in full force and the guest Luo Jing was immediately suppressed.
"This is my home. Since Mr. Luo has no intention of apologizing, please go back."
Luo Tian was a little anxious. He pulled his eldest brother and looked back and forth between his eldest brother and Ouyang Kong. He said almost pleadingly: "Brother, Brother Kong, please stop arguing, okay?"
He wanted to pull his eldest brother to sit down so that they could have a calm and peaceful talk, but his eldest brother was like a hard stone pillar and could not be moved no matter how hard he tried.
"Wife!"
Luo Tian pitifully asked Meng Ke for help.
Of course Meng Ke sided with her husband, not only Ouyang Kong, but also Luo Tian.
She walked forward, hugged Luo Tian and sat aside, but Luo Tian became stubborn and held Luo Jing's arm tightly, looking at her pleadingly like a puppy.
Meng Ke sighed. What could she do? She couldn't possibly slap one husband in the face for another.
At this time, Ouyang Kong stretched out his hand, and Meng Ke sat in his arms.
Luo Jing sneered: "Oh! Women really can't be trusted."
Meng Ke didn't explain. She didn't blame Luo Tian for siding with his brother, but Luo Jing's attitude of apology was really not acceptable.
Ouyang Kong was protecting her and the interests of this family, and she couldn't fall behind.
Luo Tian watched his wife moving further and further away from him, tears streaming down his face.
Meng Ke turned her eyes away and didn't look at Luo Tian. For some reason, when she met Luo Tian's pure eyes, she felt inexplicably guilty.
"This is what you want. I can also give you the letter of guarantee, but I have a condition."
Luo Jing held his brother's hand lovingly, and he became more convinced in his heart that he was the only one in the entire galaxy who would always be good to Xiaotian. Women are like that. When they like you, you are a treasure, but once there is a conflict of interest, they will immediately turn against you and be ruthless.
Ouyang Kong hugged his wife contentedly, his eyes full of pride: "Conditions? You Luo family also have the qualifications to make conditions?!"
Luo Jing ignored Ouyang Kong's ridicule and negotiated directly with Meng Ke: "Ancestor Qi is planning to train the child himself..."
Meeting Meng Ke's disapproving gaze, Luo Jing changed the subject: "You don't have to rush to refuse. Why don't you think about the benefits of this matter? I'm sure you all know how complicated the situation in the Insect Sea Star Region is right now. With the ancestor accompanying us, not only will our Luo family's children have a strong layer of protection, but you and the other children in the family will also be safer."
Ouyang Kong never expressed any opposition and he considered Meng Ke's safety first. A master like Patriarch Qi is not comparable to the guard team. Even if Meng Ke's current guard team is top-notch in the interstellar space, it is not enough compared to the strength of Patriarch Qi alone.
Meng Ke was considering another aspect. In her previous life, she had watched so many TV dramas about mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, all of which said that people of different generations had different educational philosophies. What if one day she had a disagreement with her ancestor on education, who would she listen to?
Just say whatever comes to mind. After Meng Ke expressed her concerns, Ouyang Kong nodded.
"This is indeed a problem. We need to prioritize children's education to avoid any future conflicts that could damage the relationship."
Luo Jing sent a video message, and it was clear without asking that he was discussing something with Ancestor Qi.
After hanging up the video call, Luo Jing proposed a solution: "If there are differences in educational philosophy, the five parties can vote, and the minority will obey the majority."
"Five-party voting? Which five parties?"
"Ancestor Qi, me, Xiaotian, and you. As for the remaining spot, you decide for yourself."
"Brother Tiger! Wife, let's listen to Brother Tiger."
Luo Tian quickly raised his hand to grab the last spot for Lei Hu, not worrying at all that his brother Hu would not agree.
Meng Ke looked at Ouyang Kong behind her. She actually thought it would be better to give the last vote to Ouyang Kong, but Luo Tian, as the father of the child, had already spoken first, and Ouyang Kong seemed to have an indifferent attitude, so she nodded.
"Okay! Ask Lei Hu and see if he agrees."
Luo Tian immediately made a video call to Lei Hu. Lei Hu was in the manor in person to promote the reconstruction. After listening to Luo Tian's long-winded talk, he nodded in agreement.
Mengke’s children are also his children, and he is happy to contribute to their education.
"Brother Tiger agreed."
Luo Tian happily shared the good news.
"That's it, the selection has been made. This time when you go to the Insect Sea Star Region, the ancestor will go with you."
"Huh? The baby hasn't even left the incubator yet. Isn't it too early to start studying now?"
"What are you thinking! The ancestor is protecting the child now as he did in the past."
"oh oh!"
Luo Tian nodded stupidly. Even though he had never met Old Ancestor Qi, he felt stressed just thinking about it.
Luo Jing knew what his brother was thinking after taking a look at his expression. Patting his brother on the shoulder, Luo Jing comforted him: "Don't worry! The ancestors are easy to get along with and won't make things difficult for the younger generation."
Ouyang Kong sneered: "He really doesn't make things difficult for me, but once he makes a move, he might sell you out without you even knowing it."
Isn't it? If Meng Ke hadn't been alert this time, after the series of tricks carried out by the Qi Patriarch, their family would have really been forced to raise the child for free.
"What are you going to do with the Luo family's pregnancy and infant team?"
To succeed, not only the Luo Family Hospital, but also the pregnancy and infant team arranged by the Luo Family for Luo Tian must cooperate.
Meng Ke leaned lazily in Ouyang Kong's arms, and without avoiding Luo Jing, told him about the arrangements for the Luo family's maternity and infant team.
Ouyang Kong was a little surprised: "I thought you would kick them out."
Ancient knowledge says that if you are unfaithful once, you will never be trusted again. He doesn't believe that his wife doesn't understand this principle.
