The patriarch of the Meng family and father of Meng Chu. He is celebrating his birthday. He is described as wearing a deep blue Tang suit with silver-white hair. He appears to have a favorite second son (Meng Chu) and most detests his daughter-in-law (Tao Chuxia's mother or another daughter-in-law). He frowns at Tao Wanxing when she greets him.
