Divine Doctor's Harem

Chapter 196 Respecting Children's Choices





Zhao Lu looked at the elderly Zhao family members with graying hair, her expression also serious. She said, "At this point, we can only trust Brother Wang."

Since Zhao Donghe started taking Wang Chao's prescription, his heart condition had gradually improved.

Today, after a thorough examination at the hospital, it was found that Zhao Donghe's heart disease had completely healed.

The affliction that had troubled Zhao Donghe for many years was finally eliminated!

Overjoyed, Zhao Donghe praised Wang Chao when he saw the elder members of the family who had been plagued by illness.

Because of this, when they heard that Zhao Donghe was hosting a banquet to entertain Wang Chao, all the elder members of the family came over, hoping to receive Wang Chao's treatment.

These individuals were respected, powerful figures with wealth and influence. However, no matter how remarkable they were in their youth, as they grew older, their physical functions declined, and they inevitably suffered from various illnesses that tormented them, making their lives miserable.

Now, seeing Zhao Donghe so energetic, they all had high hopes for Wang Chao.

Zhao Shanhe sighed helplessly.

Zhao Lu was right. At this point, they had no choice but to believe in Wang Chao.

At that moment, Zhao Donghe walked over and asked, "Shanhe, where is Yi Huan?"

"Sister is on her way back," Zhao Lu replied.

"LuLu, quickly contact your sister and ask her to come back sooner. This time, I will definitely match her with Dr. Wang," Zhao Donghe said excitedly.

"Grandfather, didn't you ask for her opinion?" Zhao Lu frowned.

"Dad, it's the modern era. Are you still thinking of arranging marriages?" Zhao Shanhe's expression turned displeased.

He had wanted his daughter, Zhao Yi Huan, to marry the young master from the prestigious family in the capital, thereby binding the Zhao family to that influential family and ensuring their rise to success.

Although Wang Chao was skilled, his status was too awkward. He was just a security guard with a humble background, unable to lead the Zhao family to greater heights.

In his view, treating Wang Chao as a valued guest of the Zhao family and maintaining a good working relationship was sufficient. As for marriage, he believed that Wang Chao was not worthy of his daughter.

"Well, of course, Dr. Wang is talented and highly skilled. This young man will undoubtedly become exceptional in the future. We must quickly win him over before he rises to prominence."

Zhao Donghe mentioned Wang Chao with excitement and said, "I have a feeling that if we bind Wang Chao to the Zhao family, our family will surely reach the pinnacle. We might even become one of the top fifty influential families in the country!"

He had personally witnessed the miraculous medical skills of Wang Chao and knew how extraordinary he was. As he learned more about Wang Chao during this period, he realized that Wang Chao was unfathomable.

Such a talented young prodigy needed to be courted by any means necessary.

Zhao Shanhe observed his father's enthusiasm but remained silent, disagreeing in his heart.

"Dad, Grandfather, LuLu!"

Just then, Zhao Yihuan appeared at the doorway, entering with great excitement. She warmly hugged Zhao Donghe, Zhao Shanhe, and Zhao Lu. "Grandfather, Dad, LuLu, it's been so long."

"Yihuan, you're finally back. Quickly go change into a beautiful dress," Zhao Donghe urged.

Instead of changing her clothes, Zhao Yihuan looked at Zhao Donghe excitedly and said, "Grandfather, guess who I met today?"

"Who?"

"A legendary expert who uses 'qi.' His arm muscles may not be that strong, but he can directly withstand the shockwaves of explosions without a scratch. He's so powerful, I want to become his disciple!" Zhao Yihuan exclaimed.

"You, this girl, always acting so wild. A young lady should be elegant and learn things like music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Why do you always enjoy violent activities?" Zhao Shanhe frowned.

Since childhood, he had groomed Zhao Yihuan to be a refined lady skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. But to his surprise, Zhao Yihuan had ventured into areas he couldn't control. She was extremely active, behaving like a boy and particularly fond of fitness, martial arts, horseback riding, billiards, and diving.

She had mastered all eighteen martial arts disciplines!

As for those music, chess, calligraphy, and painting skills, she had never really practiced them.

In a fit of anger, Zhao Shanhe sent Zhao Yihuan to learn traditional Chinese painting, hoping that she would become more refined under the influence of a master painter. However, Zhao Yihuan simply skipped classes without learning anything.

Even more, Zhao Yihuan used the connections of the Zhao family to obtain an opportunity to study abroad. She directly went overseas, escaping Zhao Shanhe's control.

Abroad, Zhao Yihuan became even more unrestrained, wild, and passionate than before. She had completely shed any trace of gentleness and elegance that is expected of a girl, appearing more like a spirited and lively boy.

"Hehehe, Dad, stop trying to plan my path for me. I have my own pursuits, my own path," Zhao Yihuan laughed.

"I don't care which path you choose, but for the sake of the family, ten days from now, you must go to Yanjing and meet Young Master Gong!" Zhao Shanhe said.

"I don't want to! If you want to go, go yourself. I don't like those young masters, and I don't want to marry into a wealthy family. I prefer a free and unrestrained life," Zhao Yihuan replied.

"You..." Zhao Shanhe's face darkened.

"Alright!"

Seeing that they were about to argue, Zhao Donghe immediately stood between them, his face gloomy. He said, "I don't care how you two will be in the future, but for now, Yihuan, go change into a suitable outfit and mind the occasion!"

"We're going to entertain our life-saving benefactor later. We can't be disrespectful!"

"And you, Shanhe, future generations will have their own blessings and fortunes. Let them forge their own paths. As a parent, you need to learn to let go!"

"Grandfather is right, Grandfather, I love you!" Zhao Yihuan's eyes brightened, and she hugged Zhao Donghe, planting a kiss on his cheek. Then she made a funny face at Zhao Shanhe and ran into the house to change her clothes.

Zhao Shanhe's expression turned dark. "Dad, you spoil her too much. You've spoiled her rotten."

"Aren't girls meant to be spoiled? Let me warn you, letting Yihuan meet that young master is fine, but when it comes to their marriage, they should have the freedom to choose. You can't force her. We must respect the child's choice!" Zhao Donghe glared at him.

Zhao Shanhe: "..."

Zhao Lu: "..."

Just a moment ago, Zhao Donghe was eager to bind Zhao Yihuan and Wang Chao together. But now, he suddenly spoke about respecting the child's choice.

This double standard was quite frustrating!

Zhao Donghe watched Zhao Yihuan leave and then looked towards the entrance with a gaze filled with joy and anticipation. "Yihuan is back, and if Dr. Wang arrives, they might really hit it off."

Zhao Lu and Zhao Shanhe: "..."

It seemed like this old man was practically wearing the words "arranged marriage" on his face. How could he have the audacity to talk about respecting the child's choice?

At that moment, Wang Chao's BMW 8 Series parked at the entrance.

Wang Chao stepped out of the car.

"Dr. Wang!"

Zhao Donghe spotted Wang Chao and his eyes lit up with delight. He immediately approached him with enthusiasm, personally welcoming him and tightly grasping his hand. "Dr. Wang, you've finally arrived! Please, come inside."

Witnessing this scene, everyone in the Zhao family was left dumbfounded and deeply shocked.

Zhao Donghe was the pillar of their Zhao family, a legendary figure known as the "Supreme Emperor." Even Zhao Shanhe had to listen to him, and many members of the Zhao family showed utmost respect and deference towards him, always being polite and yielding.

Yet, this prominent figure was being so warm and enthusiastic towards Wang Chao?

Had the sun risen from the west?
