Chapter 206 - Scratch you off the family tree

After talking for a bit more, they all sat down to eat. During their conversation, Wang Ming realized how little he knew about Qiao Meng and her life. It was truly interesting to listen to Qiao Meng's stories when she was young and when she became a police officer.

Especially when she told him about the story when she first shot a person, the multiple nights she couldn't sleep after, she even had to go to therapy, but after a few months she got better. Even though it was a good shot (a good shot means the shot's justified and within the law), she had killed the person and it eats at her conscience sometimes.

Wang Ming felt the same as her, that she felt exactly like how he felt when he killed Hou Zhenan, made him feel normal and accepted.

Wang Ming's life story fascinated Qiao Meng and Qiao Mei. He didn't tell them about everything, as it would probably kill their appetites. But he told them a few childhood stories of his. He also told them about how he made his first restaurant, which really fascinated Qiao Mei.

She felt stupid for not realizing that Wang Ming's a chef, the food he had made was delicious, she had never tasted something so good before, what else could he be if he wasn't a chef. The only thing that made her think that he's something else is his body and how handsome he is. At the start, she thought he was an actor or a model. Which would explain why he's so rich. But now, after tasting his cooking skills, the only thing that would fit is if he's a chef.

"Brother-in-law, could I come eat at your restaurant sometimes? Or maybe even come to your house to eat? Your food is too good!"

Wang Ming wanted to laugh, it seems like he had created Ming Ming number two, Qiao Mei's reaction is just like Ming Ming's if he doesn't feed her. "If you want to come, just come, but only if your parents agree, as for the restaurant. Just give the people there this card then they'll give you the food for free, you can even take your friends there."

Wang Ming gave her his business card, something Peng Tong and Meng Hao had made him a while back, when he first opened his restaurant. He had completely forgotten about them and just kept them in a box. After moving to this house, he had placed the box on the kitchen table.

Qiao Meng didn't agree with Wang Ming at all. The car was already way too much, but now he also going to let her eat for free at his restaurant? It's just too much. "Wang Ming, don't spoil her! If you keep spoiling her like this, what will she do when she gets a boyfriend? What would he think, and how could he spoil her like that? Don't teach her bad habits!"

"Don't worry, Jiejie, if I can't find a boyfriend then we can just share brother-in-law!" Right after the words left her mouth, Qiao Mei and Wang Ming felt the temperature drop by at least 10 degrees in the room, Wang Ming didn't even dare to look at Qiao Meng, he didn't even want to see her reaction.

Qiao Mei just laughed dryly. She knew she had poked the beast.

"Fine, take him! But then never come back. Live here for the rest of your life. I'll tell mom and dad to scratch your name from the family book, I don't need a sister like you!" Qiao Meng's face was dead serious, Qiao Mei had never seen her so angry before, she knew that Qiao Meng would go through with her words. Even if Qiao Mei wanted to take Wang Ming from her, she knew she had no chance. Her Jiejie has always been better and prettier than her. On what grounds could she take her boyfriend?

"Jiejie, I'm sorry, I was just joking." Seeing Qiao Mei on the verge of crying, Wang Ming stepped in to help.

"You two relax, we're family after all, no need to quarrel. Qiao Mei, you took it too far, so apologize."

Qiao Mei hurriedly apologized. She felt grateful Wang Ming helped her, after all she had taken advantage of Wang Ming alot, first with the car now with the food. Even though Wang Ming is Qiao Meng's boyfriend, they aren't married yet, her actions could jeopardize their relationship. "I'm sorry also brother-in-law, I took advantage of your kindness, please take the car and card back, I don't need it anymore."

"Silly girl, just take it, don't worry about your Jiejie, I'll convince her for you."

Turning his head to Qiao Meng, who still looked upset, Wang Ming said with a smile. "Qiao Meng Jiejie, I know what you're thinking, but Qiao Mei's a good girl. Not only that, we're all family, I don't see the problem in doing kind things for my family. It's just a car and some food it doesn't matter, I have my rules, as long as Qiao Mei does nothing foolish, what's wrong with spoiling her? Or maybe you want me to spoil you too? Then I'll buy you a car sometimes, okay? As for the food, just tell them you're their sister-in-law then hey'll give you all the food you want."

Qiao Meng blushed furiously, but this time she smiled. It's true they're all family, she thought. How could she not trust her sister and Wang Ming? "Don't buy me a car. I'm a police officer, people might think that I'm being bribed. The Audi is more than enough, me and Qiao Mei can share it."

"So you agree, Jiejie? Thank you Jiejie, thank you Qiao Meng Jiejie, thank you Wang Ming dajie!" Qiao Mei had never been so happy before. She couldn't believe that she had judged him so hard the first time they met. She could still remember when they first met Wang Ming was also running, but at that time she thought he was just a scrawny white face.

But he had proved to her that people can change. He went from a scrawny man to a handsome, rich hunk in just a few months, it's truly surreal. She even remembers saying awful stuff about him to her friends and how she wanted a man that could protect her as a boyfriend.

Qiao Meng and Qiao Mei wanted to stay longer after the food, but Wang Ming sent them away. He had a competition to prepare for. Qiao Mei felt reluctant to leave, but when Wang Ming dangled the Audi keys in front of her eyes, she left faster than lightning.

Qiao Meng had to leave with her, as even though she knew that Qiao Mai had drove alot before, this is a totally different car. She had to supervise her first before she felt assured to let her drive alone. She could easily make Qiao Mei a permit.

Finally left alone, Wang Ming showered to clean away all the sweat and grime he had acc.u.mulated through the day, then sat down to plan for the competition.
