49 Welcome

While Wang Ming was hugging Meng Hao and his two uncles, there were one person who was frowning. That person was Peng Tong, he was jealous of Meng Hao and his power. Peng Tong wasn't a power thirsty person or anything like that. But when seeing a person he cares about getting in trouble, and there's nothing he can do about it, Peng Tong felt disappointed in himself and powerless. He was also afraid of what Wang Ming would think about him now, since he let Wang Ming deal with the police alone. But he could let his heart rest when Wang Ming shouted at him and asked him to come towards him and join their group hug.

Running towards them excited, Peng Tong, Wang Ming and Meng Hao hugged each other like brothers. After they separated Wang Ming in the middle hooked his arms around Peng Tong and Meng Hao. Which looked funny since Meng Hao was a head higher than Peng Tong and Wang Ming, so he had to bend his knees. Then Wang Ming announced.

"From today us three are all brothers, Little Tong you are the third brother, I'm the second brother and Meng Hao since you are the biggest and most likely older so you are the big brother. Anyone that disagree?"

"Yes!"

Funnily enough both Peng Tong and Meng Hao disagreed and said yes at the same time. Both also had the same reasoning behind disagreeing.

Seeing them both disagree, Wang Ming couldn't help but feel disappointed, so he asked why.

"Peng Tong, why do you disagree?"

"Big brother, I can't be the third brother, and Meng Hao can't be the big brother. If I'm not wrong, he is younger than both me and you. Don't be deceived by his face. He doesn't turn 22 until the end of the year."

Hearing that Meng Hao might be younger than him, Wang Ming showed a shocked expression and turned around to ask him. Seeing Wang Ming's face, Meng Hao couldn't help but laugh, he laughed so hard that he had to hold his stomach. Which surprised Uncle Fu and Uncle Hou, since Meng Hao were little he had always been a serious person and never laughed like this in public. He would be a little rascal to them and pull pranks here and there but they had never seen him so comfortable with people his age before. This made them relieved and more confident in the choice they made, regarding Wang Ming as family.

Seeing him laugh so much, Wang Ming started to get annoyed, so he lightly punched Meng Hao. But instead of hurting Meng Hao, he felt his fist hurting. Which set Meng Hao off again this time laughing even louder, Peng Tong seeing Meng Hao laughing so much, couldn't help but laugh himself.

Seeing them both laughing at him, Wang Ming got even more annoyed and embarrassed so he hooked his arm around both their necks and pulled them tightly in towards his body. Not too strong but enough to get their attention, looking down he said.

"Laughed enough? Want me to brake both your necks so you can laugh in the underworld instead?"

Wang Ming then stared at them with the most menacing glare he could muster, which sent chills down both of their spines. The people around also got chills hearing what Wang Ming said. Peng Tong's underlings even readied themselves to save him, but stopped when seeing Wang Ming laughing almost like a maniac.

"I'm just joking! Now, Meng Hao, you are 22 this year, right?"

Seeing that Meng Hao nodded, Wang Ming then said.

"Peng Tong is also 22 years. And so am I. Which means we all was born the same year. Now we only need to die the same year. Since you are the youngest Meng Hao, you are the third brother, Meng Hao you are younger than me by some months you are the second brother and me I'm the big brother. Happy?"

After saying this he lightly tightened his arms around their necks. If they even dared to try to joke with him, he wouldn't mind giving them a light punishment.

Seeing how serious Wang Ming was, they didn't hesitate or dare to joke with Wang Ming and hurriedly nodded their heads. Seeing that they both nodded, Wang Ming then released their heads and slapped them both hard on the back. He put more power on the slap on Meng Hao's back since his body was like a rock, which made his hand hurt, but hearing both of them scream out in pain he smiled satisfied. Laughing Wang Ming said to them.

"Ok, no more joking. We are brothers from now on, so let's treat each other well!"

Peng Tong and Meng Hao both massaged their back and replied.

"Yes, big brother."

Meng Hao didn't want to become Wang Ming's brother, but this was also a way for him to get closer to Wang Ming. Maybe later there would be some brother on brother time, so he wasn't too discouraged. This would also serve as an excuse for him to spend more time with Wang Ming as well.

While laughing at Peng Tong and Meng Hao, Wang Ming suddenly felt a pair of hands obscuring his vision and someone say.

"Guess who?"

Hearing the voice Wang Ming instantly knew who it was. He hadn't spoken with this person many times, but the last time they spoke in person they spoke for over an hour. So Wang Ming was confident that this was Fu Chunhua, though he didn't know that she was so playful covering his eyes and playing games with him.

Grabbing the arms, Wang Ming realized the arms that had covered his eyes were too small to be Fu Chunhua. Which meant that it had to be Ming Ming that covered his eyes while Fu Chunhua spoke. Removing the arms, Wang Ming turned around and hugged Ming Ming, who were in Fu Chunhua's arms. Though one thing Fu Chunhua and Wang Ming had totally forgotten is what Ming Ming calls him for as she loud and happy screamed.

"Daddy! Daddy! Daddyyyyy!"

Hearing her call him daddy again, Wang Ming tried to hush her, but that only made Ming Ming think that he was playing with her. So Ming Ming did what kids do, laugh while still shouting Daddy. Giving up on stopping Ming Ming, Wang Ming just looked embarassingly and helpless at Meng Hao and the others and started explaining.

"She's not my daughter, Fu Chunhua and me are only friends. Ming Ming has been like this ever since I first met her, for some reason she keeps calling me Daddy. So please don't spread false rumors, Fu Chunhua is a single woman, such rumors can ruin her life."

Seeing Wang Ming protect her like this, Fu Chunhua couldn't help but feel good. She couldn't remember last time a man stood up for her, even if there was they only had ulterior motives. Though she wasn't 100% percent sure that Wang Ming wasn't one of them. But seeing how much Ming Ming liked Wang Ming, it became hard for Fu Chunhua to doubt him.

Though seeing what happened next something stirred inside Fu Chunhua, something she hadn't felt in a long time. Jealousy.

Lang Lin finally arrived at the restaurant. It stressed her out that she was late. Her car had broken down on the way to Wang Ming's restaurant. So she had to take a taxi instead, which made her late. When she was walking towards the restaurant, she saw Wang Ming holding a child and saw that the firecrackers had still not been lit. Which meant that the opening ceremony hadn't started yet, feeling happy she ran to Wang Ming and gave him a big hug and congratulations for opening his restaurant.

"I'm so sorry for arriving late! My car broke down, so I had to take a taxi. This here is a small gift from me I hope you will accept it."

Lang Lin's gift is an item. Almost all Chinese restaurants have a golden-colored cat. But when Wang Ming took the gift from Lang Lin, he felt surprised by how heavy it was. So he looked at Lang Lin with a puzzled face. Lang Lin was very perceptive, so she instantly understood why Wang Ming's face was like that and said.

"It's made of gold, so it can't wave its arm."

The cat wasn't too large, but it weighed at least 1kg which would cost a person roughly 300 thousand yuan. Hearing it was made of gold, Wang Ming tried to hand it back to Lang Lin. But she refused to take it back, so Wang Ming could only accept. Then, walking to the front of the restaurant, Wang Ming said.

"Since everybody is here, let's start the opening ceremony. I only have 5 scissors, so Fu Chunhua and Lang Lin can cut and hold the scissors with me. Meng Hao, Peng Tong, Uncle Fu, and Uncle Hou please take a scissor each."

After saying this, Wang Ming lined everybody up in front of the shop. Looking at the crowd that was in front of his shop now. Wang Ming felt like this must be the weirdest opening ceremony ever, since most of the people watching were Peng Tong's underlings and people from the underworld. Then lighting up the firecrackers he ran back to Lang Lin and Fu Chunhua then counted down.

"3"

"2 "

"1"

Then all of them cut a piece of the red ribbon and saved it though since Wang Ming's group were three. Wang Ming cut two pieces each and gave it to Lang Lin and Fu Chunhua, while he gave the ribbon to Ming Ming, who was now sitting on his shoulders.

When the firecrackers ended, Wang Ming got Peng Tong to disperse all of his underlings, then opened the door after putting Ming Ming down on the ground and said.

"Welcome to Wang's family restaurant!"
