Having spent a long time together, Zhao Lu understood everything from Zhao Shanhe's gaze. She calmly left and went to fetch Zhao Yihuan.
Upon seeing Zhao Lu leave, Zhao Shanhe's eyes brightened. He maintained his enthusiastic demeanor and shook hands with Wang Chao, inviting him to take a seat.
With a smile on his face, Zhao Donghe sat down on his own.
As the head of the Zhao family, it was only natural for Zhao Shanhe to handle such a banquet. This old man only needed to enjoy his son's performance!
After all, Zhao Shanhe was now the patriarch of the Zhao family, having experienced numerous storms and challenges. This small gathering was nothing compared to what he had gone through.
"Please, have a seat everyone."
Zhao Shanhe was full of warmth, not only towards Wang Chao but also towards Song Hening, Pei Donghu, and others.
"Alright, Zhao Patriarch, you don't have to be so polite."
Song Hening and the others were surprised and quickly waved their hands.
Although they had experienced this kind of treatment before, they still felt uncomfortable experiencing it again. After all, the other party's status was too high, beyond what ordinary people like them could normally encounter. They felt they couldn't bear such grand gestures.
"Well then, if Zhao Patriarch asks you to sit, just sit. Treat it as if you were having a meal at your own home, no need to be so restrained," Wang Chao said.
"Yes, treat it as if it were your own home," Zhao Shanhe chimed in with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Song Hening, Lan Ruyu, Pei Donghu, and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and sat down with a mix of sincerity and trepidation.
Wang Chao sat beside them and began to eat as well.
"Dr. Wang, this cup is for you!"
"Dr. Wang, you are our Zhao family's great benefactor. I toast to you."
"Without Dr. Wang, our Zhao family would have taken a detour of at least several decades. This cup of wine represents our highest respect."
Including Zhao Donghe, all the high-ranking members of the Zhao family stood up, deeply bowing to Wang Chao. They raised their wine glasses and drank them in one gulp, displaying an attitude of utmost respect and gratitude.
This was their heartfelt gratitude!
The divine-level martial arts that Wang Chao had bestowed upon them were undoubtedly the Zhao family's great weapon, a treasured family heirloom. With this martial art, the Zhao family would undoubtedly rise to fame within a few decades, surpassing Canton City and becoming a leading force in the entire Dragon Nation.
"It was just a small effort on my part. No need to be so polite. Let's eat," Wang Chao said calmly.
"Dr. Wang, you're too modest."
Zhao Shanhe approached, smiling, "As far as I know, Dr. Wang is still unmarried. I have a daughter who is exceptionally beautiful with a great figure."
"She has heard about your deeds and has admired you for a long time."
Wang Chao felt a headache coming on as soon as he heard those words. Here we go again!
Last time, all the elders of the Zhao family wanted to introduce their daughters or granddaughters to him, and now Zhao Shanhe was doing the same.
"Dr. Wang, my daughter is truly beautiful. She exercises regularly and has a healthy and youthful physique," Zhao Shanhe continued to strengthen his daughter to Wang Chao.
"Dad, I'm here!"
Just as he was desperately listing Zhao Yihuan's qualities, Zhao Yihuan appeared at the banquet. At this moment, she had painted her face in a messy manner, blackened several teeth, and messed up her hair. She even acted foolish, drooling from her mouth, crossing her eyes, and having a vacant gaze.
At first glance, she resembled an incredibly ugly and mentally challenged clown, unbearable to look at.
Seeing his daughter like this, Zhao Shanhe couldn't continue praising her, his expression became extremely unpleasant, and he couldn't hide the embarrassment on his face.
He struggled to swallow a gulp of saliva and said, "Yihuan, why have you made yourself look like this?"
Zhao Lu walked out from behind Zhao Yihuan and glanced at her, her face filled with speechlessness.
Zhao Donghe and the other elders of the Zhao family were also dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Zhao Yihuan was perfectly fine, so how did she end up looking like this?
She's too ugly, isn't she?
Ignoring the gazes of others, Zhao Yihuan continued to act crazy and approached Zhao Shanhe, saying, "Dad, are you trying to introduce a man to me? Where is he? I really like handsome guys."
As she spoke, she even winked at Zhao Shanhe.
Zhao Shanhe's face turned black.
He realized that Zhao Yihuan was deliberately defying him!
"Dad, I want a handsome guy. I want to get married and have lots and lots of children, and feed them with poop..."
Seeing her father's expression, Zhao Yihuan's heart blossomed with joy. She made herself look even more like a fool, with a runny nose, and said, "Dad, where's the handsome guy?"
Wang Chao, sitting next to Zhao Shanhe, recognized Zhao Yihuan at a glance and looked puzzled. "Um, what are you doing?"
Zhao Yihuan wanted to exaggerate her act even more, making it difficult for her father to back down. However, when she saw Wang Chao, her expression changed dramatically. "Master, why are you here?"
"Zhao Clan Chief invited me for dinner," Wang Chao replied.
At this moment, Zhao Shanhe also rebuked, "Zhao Yihuan, what are you doing?! I invited Wang Chao here for dinner, and you're behaving like this."
"Today, I invited Wang Divine Doctor. Your behavior is simply outrageous."
Wait a minute!
At this point, Zhao Shanhe's expression changed, and he looked at Wang Chao and Zhao Yihuan. "Do you know each other?"
Zhao Yihuan was also stunned. "Dad, the person you wanted to introduce is Wang Chao?"
"Who else?" Zhao Shanhe replied.
"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah~~"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yihuan looked at Wang Chao and then at the elders at the table. Immediately overwhelmed with shame, she screamed and ran away.
This was truly humiliating!
It was beyond embarrassing!
Zhao Shanhe's face turned almost as dark as ink, quickly apologizing to Wang Chao, "Wang Divine Doctor, I'm really sorry. I haven't properly disciplined my daughter, and I've offended you. Please forgive me."
"It's okay."
Wang Chao waved his hand and then asked, "Is Zhao Yihuan your daughter?"
Zhao Shanhe nodded.
Wang Chao suddenly realized.
No wonder Zhao Yihuan wants to have over a dozen children. With the Zhao family's financial condition, even if they have a hundred children, they can easily support them.
"Wang Divine Doctor, I heard my daughter calling you 'Master' earlier. What's going on?" Zhao Shanhe asked.
"Oh, I have a strong connection with Miss Zhao, and she is also fond of martial arts. So, I took her as my apprentice," Wang Chao smiled.
Zhao Donghe and Zhao Shanhe were overjoyed upon hearing this.
They immediately raised their glasses and said, "Mr. Wang, we rely on you to take care of our daughter. We toast to you."
After saying that, they emptied their glasses in one gulp.
Wang Chao did not dare to be impolite and quickly drank his glass as well.
"Ah, how could this happen? The man my dad introduced to me turns out to be my master?"
"This's so embarrassing. How will my master see me now?"
"If I had known that person was my master, I should have appeared in a attractive attire."
Zhao Yihuan quickly rushed to her room, removed her ugly makeup from earlier, took a shower, and applied light makeup. She regretted it deeply.
After making herself look exceptionally beautiful, she finally came out.
At this moment, she seemed like a completely different person—graceful, charming, and exuding irresistible allure in every move.
"Yihuan, this is how you should dress up. Come, quickly toast to your master."
Zhao Shanhe took the daughter's red wine from the table and poured a glass for Wang Chao and another for Zhao Yihuan, indicating that she should make a toast.
"Master, I toast to you," Zhao Yihuan raised her glass and made a toast.
Wang Chao also raised his glass and drank it.
Next, under the deliberate arrangement of Zhao Shanhe and Zhao Donghe, the atmodimension became lively. Wang Chao was also forced to drink a lot of alcohol and ended up getting quite drunk. The wine was too strong, even he could not resist it, and eventually fell into a deep sleep.
The next day, when Wang Chao woke up, he was stunned.
Zhao Yihuan was actually curled up on top of him, sleeping soundly like a kitten. She was mumbling in her sleep, seemingly having sweet dreams.
Boom!
Wang Chao felt like he was struck by lightning.
What had happened here?
