"Dr. Wang, I've been waiting for you for so long. Co, co, please co inside," Zhao Donghe said with enthusiasm, holding Wang Chao's hand and leading him inside.
The more he looked at Wang Chao, the more pleasing he found him. Young, handso, talented, not only skilled in dicine but also incredibly proficient in martial arts. He could single-handedly defeat dozens of people from the Four Great Kings, far surpassing Zhao Kun. If such a talented young man beca his grandson-in-law, he would wake up laughing from his dreams.
"Mr. Zhao, I can walk by myself," Wang Chao smiled wryly.
"We've arranged a feast just for you today. You must sit beside . Later, I will introduce you to my granddaughter. She's lively and cheerful. I'm sure you'll like her," Zhao Donghe said with joy.
Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Lu: "..."
What happened to respecting the child's choice?
Helpless, Wang Chao allowed the old man to pull him along and arrived at the large table.
Upon arrival, he realized that Zhao Donghe had invited not only him but also Pei Donghu and Song Henian.
Song Henian and Pei Donghu were also seated at the main table, looking restrained and sowhat uneasy, as if they were both surprised and honored.
Over the years, the two of them had experienced the hardships of life at the bottom rung of society. Their arrogance and youthful recklessness had long been worn away. They no longer had the lofty aspirations of their youth, the strength and resilience, or the boundless passion. Now, sitting among a group of influential figures from the Zhao family, they always felt out of place.
When they saw Wang Chao approaching, they finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had found their backbone. They imdiately waved to Wang Chao, saying, "Wang Chao, co over here."
Wang Chao smiled and walked over to their side.
At this mont, Zhao Shanhe also ca forward and said with a smile, "Mr. Wang, you ca at just the right ti. We've been waiting for you. Please, take a seat."
Under their warm reception, Wang Chao sat beside Song Henian and Pei Donghu.
Song Henian's eyes brightened when he saw Wang Chao sit down. He whispered, "Wang Chao, you ca just in ti. We were nervous earlier."
"I feel uncomfortable sitting here," Pei Donghu added.
After a few days of rest, although he still appeared frail, Wang Chao's complexion had improved significantly, no longer as pale as before.
"To be honest, there's no need to be so nervous. Just consider it as having a al with friends," Wang Chao said with a smile.
"What do you an, no need to be nervous? This is Zhao Family Village, and these are influential figures from the Zhao family. They are well-known personalities in our Canton City. If they stomp their feet, the whole Canton City would tremble," Pei Donghu said.
"We didn't even have the qualifications to et them before. Now, we can sit together with them, all thanks to you," Song Henian whispered.
Wang Chao had arranged for them to stay in Zhao Family Village. Zhao Donghe wanted to show his gratitude to Wang Chao and naturally didn't forget about Wang Chao's friends. He invited them over imdiately and treated them with fine tea and wine.
Even before Wang Chao arrived, a professional masseur had been arranged to massage Pei Donghu's muscles, trying to improve his condition as much as possible.
Such treatnt left Pei Donghu pleasantly surprised.
As a result, his eyes were filled with gratitude when he looked at Wang Chao.
Without Wang Chao, he would never have enjoyed such treatnt in his lifeti.
"What are you saying? We are brothers. We share the good and the bad together," Wang Chao smiled.
While they were talking, Zhao Donghe, Zhao Shanhe, Zhao Lu, and others took their seats.
The influential figures from the Zhao family also sat down, but their gazes fell on Wang Chao, scrutinizing and discussing him.
"So, this is the divine doctor who saved the old master? I thought he was an old man. How can he be so young?"
"Could it be that he was just lucky to save him?"
"I think that's a possibility. After all, he is too young. He doesn't look like a divine doctor."
"I believe that appearances can be deceiving. Perhaps this Wang Chao really has skills that we shouldn't underestimate."
"I've heard that in so prominent families, there are prodigies who are young but possess abilities far beyond their elders. Maybe Wang Chao is one of those prodigies!"
The older generation all looked at Wang Chao, with so doubting, so disdainful, and others thinking that Wang Chao might indeed have so remarkable abilities.
Everyone took their seats, and Zhao Donghe looked around anxiously. When he didn't see Zhao Yihuan coming out, his expression turned sour. He imdiately whispered to Zhao Lu, "Lulu, go and call your sister."
Although Zhao Lu didn't fully agree with the idea of an arranged marriage by their grandfather, she did think that Wang Chao was a great candidate.
If Wang Chao and Zhao Yihuan ended up together, she would also approve of the union.
So when the old master's words fell, Zhao Lu imdiately stood up and walked towards the villa.
"What's going on? Is soone else not here yet?" Wang Chao asked.
"It's nothing, let's start eating," Zhao Donghe laughed heartily and urged Wang Chao and the other two to begin eating.
Zhao Lu rushed all the way, running from the hall to the courtyard, and then through a corridor before reaching Zhao Yihuan's room. She burst in and said, "Sis, the banquet is about to start."
However, when she saw Zhao Yihuan, she was instantly stunned. "Sis, why haven't you changed your clothes yet?"
Zhao Yihuan was lying on the bed playing with her phone, looking disdainful. "Why should I change clothes? Grandfather wants to go out, clearly to introduce so high-quality n to ."
"My love life, I make the decisions!"
"I don't need Grandfather and Dad's arrangents. I won't see any of those people!"
"Lulu, you ca just in ti. Go and tell Grandfather that I have a stomachache and I'm having diarrhea, so I won't be able to go."
Saying that, she sent a ssage to a WeChat friend, asking, "How is it? Have you found Wang Chao's information?"
Ever since she t Wang Chao once, she had been asking her friend to investigate him.
As for the young talents that Zhao Donghe wanted to introduce to her, she couldn't be bothered to even look at them.
To her, those rich people, young masters, and business prodigies were not important. What mattered was that they had to be strong, physically and martially superior to her.
Zhao Lu: "..."
Diarrhea?
You dare to use that excuse?
It's clearly ant to disgust Wang Chao!
She cursed in her mind, but remained calm on the surface and said, "Sis, the man Grandfather wants to introduce to you today is indeed very good. He must be the type you like."
"Oh? Can he lift two hundred kilograms of iron?" Zhao Yihuan asked.
Zhao Lu's face turned dark.
She knew that Wang Chao was very strong, but she didn't know if he could lift two hundred kilograms of iron or not.
However, her sister's attitude made her very uncomfortable.
She took a deep breath and said in a serious tone, "Sis, even though you don't like arranged marriages, you should still consider Grandfather's face. He has always loved and cherished you, which has made you quite spoiled!"
"Now, he is hosting a banquet to thank the person who saved his life, and you're pretending to be sick and not coming out to et them. Isn't that a bit excessive?"
Upon hearing Zhao Lu's words, Zhao Yihuan sat up and looked at Zhao Lu with interest. "It's been a long ti since we've seen each other, LuLu, and you've beco more sensible. Not bad, not bad."
Zhao Lu completely ignored Zhao Yihuan's words and earnestly said, "Sis, I genuinely want what's best for you. Grandfather wants to introduce you to soone today who is remarkable, strong in ability, and skilled in dicine. I've investigated him, and he is considerate, loyal, and treats his loved ones and friends really well!"
"If you miss out on him, you'll definitely regret it!"
Zhao Yihuan was taken aback.
She walked up to Zhao Lu, touched her forehead, and asked in confusion, "You're not running a fever."
"Sis, I'm not joking with you!" Zhao Lu pushed away her sister's hand and looked at her with a serious and calm expression.
"It's really rare. This is the first ti I've seen you praise a man like this. It seems like I definitely have to et this man." Zhao Yihuan exclaid in surprise.
From a young age, Zhao Lu had been a genius girl, with high standards and extre arrogance. She never saw eye to eye with anyone and considered most n to be diocre.
Now, Zhao Lu's praise for Wang Chao made her particularly curious about what this man looked like and what qualities he possessed that warranted such high praise from Zhao Lu.
"Really? Then hurry up and change your clothes. Grandfather and the others are waiting," Zhao Lu's eyes brightened.
Zhao Yihuan pinched Zhao Lu's cheek and laughed heartily. "Alright, since my little sister has co to invite like this, how can I refuse? Wait for , I'll go change into a beautiful outfit right away."
Pouting, Zhao Lu pushed away Zhao Yihuan's hand and looked displeased. "Sis, I'm an adult now. You're not allowed to pinch my cheeks anymore!"
"Even when you're seventy years old, you're still my little sister, and I can still pinch."
Zhao Yihuan laughed heartily, pinched Zhao Lu's cheek again, and then happily walked into the dressing room to find a beautiful outfit.
She regularly engaged in sports, fitness, boxing, and swimming, which kept her figure in excellent shape. Her body was well-proportioned with a curvaceous front and a pert rear, displaying exquisite curves.
What was even more comndable was that despite engaging in such high-intensity activities, her skin remained untouched by the sun, maintaining its fair and delicate appearance, irresistibly alluring.
She selected a deep V-neck dress and put it on. As she looked at herself in the mirror, she was particularly satisfied. Turning around, she smiled at Zhao Lu and asked, "LuLu, how does this dress look?"
It was a tight-fitting black dress with a deep V-neck, accentuating Zhao Yihuan's graceful curves.
Especially the exposed patch of fair skin in the middle of the deep V, it was as enchanting as a painting, captivating and soul-stirring.
Zhao Lu glanced at Zhao Yihuan's figure, her pupils montarily contracting, then she lowered her head to look at her own chest, wearing an unpleasant expression.
Both of them were females, so why was there such a stark difference?
Her sister's figure was truly seductive!
"Hehehe, LuLu has indeed grown up. Now you understand how to compare figures. Don't worry, we have these genes in our family. When you grow up, you'll be troubled with maintaining and choosing bras," Zhao Yihuan teased, giving Zhao Lu a glance before turning to admire herself in the mirror, quite satisfied.
"Let's go. We'll head over there now and see how that man you ntioned is," she said, running her fingers through her hair as she prepared to leave.
"No!"
Zhao Lu suddenly stopped Zhao Yihuan, glancing at the deep V-neck on her chest, and said sternly, "Today is a formal occasion, and we have many elders from the Zhao family present. It's not appropriate for you to dress like this. Change into sothing else!"
"No, I'm wearing this. Only by doing so can we tell if that man is a gentleman!" Zhao Yihuan laughed.
After saying that, she put on her high heels, making her stature even more tall and slender, and then she walked past Zhao Lu, heading towards the banquet area.
Despite wearing high heels, she walked with a brisk pace, moving swiftly.
"Sis, wait for ."
Zhao Lu hurriedly caught up with her.
Just as Zhao Yihuan was about to enter the banquet, her phone suddenly started vibrating repeatedly, indicating an incoming call.
She picked up her phone and answered, "What's the matter?"
"Sister Yihuan, I found it. I found information about Wang Chao, and I also discovered where he lives," a man's voice ca through the phone.
"Really?" Zhao Yihuan's eyes brightened.
The man on the other end of the phone sounded extrely excited and hastily said, "Yes, Wang Chao used to live abroad for eight years. After returning to China, he beca a security guard at Danfeng Group. In just a few days, he rose from a regular security guard to the head of the security departnt."
"I heard that he even humiliated the Li family at the Danfeng Group office, and the next day, mbers of the Li family went to the security departnt, kneeling down and begging for rcy."
"This Brother Wang is simply too powerful, and he's incredibly handso! I can't help but want to bow down to him as my big brother!"
"Moreover, I've investigated his place of residence. I'm getting ready to go there now. It's crucial that I curry favor with him."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yihuan's expression beca overjoyed. "Don't go there so quickly, wait for !"
"Okay, where are you? I'll co pick you up."
"Wait for at the intersection in front of Zhao Family Village, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yihuan turned around and hugged Zhao Lu tightly, planting a kiss on her forehead. Excitent filled her voice as she said, "LuLu, I'm sorry, but I've found my ideal husband, my destined prince charming, the world-conquering hero. That's why I need to go et him now."
"Tell Grandpa that I have a stomachache."
With that, she kissed Zhao Lu passionately once more, brimming with excitent. Then she walked briskly, changed direction, and swiftly rushed out of the Zhao family gate.
Zhao Lu stood there, disheveled by the wind.
The cooked duck was just one step away from the door, and now it flew away like this?
How was she going to explain to Grandpa?
"Damn it, it's all because Grandpa spoils her too much, indulging her to the point that she's even more willful than ."
Zhao Lu watched Zhao Yihuan's figure and clenched her teeth. She wore a gloomy expression as she said, "We're all grown-ups, and she still doesn't understand the concept of considering the bigger picture and the interests of our family. She's so immature!"
"I wish Grandpa could hang her up and give her a good beating!"
After saying that, she took a deep breath, composed her thoughts, and returned to the banquet. She whispered these circumstances into Zhao Dong's ear.
Zhao Dong's face imdiately darkened upon hearing the news.
With soone like Wang Chao, a rising star, right in front of her, she didn't cherish it and instead insisted on finding so so-called world-conquering hero!
Zhao Yihuan, this granddaughter of his, was simply being reckless!
"What's wrong?" Zhao Shanhe asked in a low voice.
"Sister ran away," Zhao Lu whispered.
Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but rejoice and exclaid, "Good, good, good! She ran away well!"
He had already made an agreent with the Yanjing family. As long as the young master of that prominent family took a liking to Zhao Yihuan, their two families could form a marriage alliance.
When Zhao Dong tried to arrange a match between Wang Chao and Zhao Yihuan, Zhao Shanhe was taken aback, but he couldn't persuade his father.
Now that Zhao Yihuan had run away, he no longer needed to worry about her falling for Wang Chao!
Zhao Dong's gaze turned cold, and he glared angrily at Zhao Shanhe. "What do you an, 'good'? You bastard, shut up!"
Wang Chao looked bewildered and asked, "Elder, what's wrong? Has sothing happened?"
