The Physician Tycoon
Chapter 22 A Twist of Fate
Back home, the two women busied themselves cooking and soon brought out a table full of dishes.
Zhang Huaitao didn't want Ye Kai to eat at home, but Wang Yan and Chen Man insisted that Ye Kai stay for dinner, saying that Ye Kai worked very hard farming and needed to be rewarded.
Since the minority had to submit to the majority, Zhang Huaitao could no longer object.
As usual, they drank alcohol with dinner, and Zhang Huaitao took out the medicinal wine that Zhang Youquan had brewed and drank it.
He even made sure Chen Man drank more, hoping to get her drunk so he could find an opportunity.
Zhang Huaitao has known Chen Man for almost a year. He set his sights on her as soon as she graduated and came to the hospital.
Chen Man graduated from a prestigious university and is both talented and beautiful, making her stand out from the crowd at the township hospital.
Many men pursued Chen Man; every young man of any means in Peach Blossom Town wanted to date her.
People from the county and city even traveled long distances to Taohua Town Hospital, ostensibly to see Chen Man for medical treatment, but actually to pursue her.
Zhang Huaitao put in a lot of effort to barely win over Chen Man. He said it was barely because Chen Man only agreed to date him, but not to have any intimate contact.
Zhang Huaitao has only ever held Chen Man's hand, and has never kissed her, let alone done anything inappropriate.
Zhang Huaitao felt that Chen Man's visit to his home was a perfect opportunity.
He went to great lengths to get Chen Man to drink more wine, which Zhang Youquan had soaked in precious Chinese medicinal herbs such as donkey penis, bull penis, and deer antler, making it highly nourishing.
Zhang Huaitao poured Chen Man a full glass of medicinal wine, and then used all his tricks, employing every drinking toast he could muster, until he finally managed to persuade Chen Man to drink the whole glass.
Zhang Huaitao poured another cup, while Wang Yan watched coldly from the side, clearly understanding the situation.
Zhang Huaitao is trying to get Chen Man drunk!
Wang Yan pretended not to know anything and kept urging Ye Kai to eat.
Chen Man didn't like the taste of the medicinal wine and tried to refuse to drink it.
Zhang Huaitao came up with a series of reasons that Chen Man couldn't refuse.
Chen Man, being a young woman just entering society, lacked experience in drinking. Unable to resist Zhang Huaitao's repeated persuasion, she drank the second glass of wine.
Chen Man's face flushed, her eyes glazed over.
Zhang Huaitao was so aroused by her presence that he longed to immediately pull Chen Man into his arms, pin her down, and ravage her.
However, there were two other people present: Wang Yan and Ye Kai.
Ye Kai, in particular, was still enjoying his meal.
This kid can eat too much and has absolutely no sense of propriety.
A wild sparrow, mistaking itself for a house sparrow, refused to leave.
Zhang Huaitao grew angrier the more he thought about it, but he patiently waited for Wang Yan and Ye Kai to have dinner.
Wang Yan went to wash the dishes, and Ye Kai helped her.
Only Zhang Huaitao and Chen Man remained in the room.
The opportunity is coming!
Zhang Huaitao stood up impatiently. "Manman, come on, let me help you to the house to rest."
"No, I'm not sleepy," Chen Man shook her head, speaking indistinctly.
"You say you're not sleepy? Your eyes are practically closed. Take a rest."
Without giving her a chance to explain, Zhang Huaitao took Chen Man's arm and led her to the bed in the west bedroom.
Chen Man closed her eyes and lay lazily on the bed, looking like a sleeping beauty.
That perfect face, those towering breasts, those long legs, made Zhang Huaitao lose control.
Just as he was about to pounce, Wang Yan came in from outside, calling out, "Chen Man, where's Chen Man?"
Zhang Huaitao immediately deflated, and he glared at Wang Yan.
"What are you shouting for? Manman is already asleep."
"Oh, she's asleep? She can't stay in this room."
Wang Yan tried to help Chen Man up, but Zhang Huaitao quickly stopped her, "What are you doing?"
I helped her to my room to sleep.
"She's already asleep. You'll wake her up if you move. Just let her sleep in this room."
"No, you're not married yet, you can't live together!"
"Why not? We're dating, we'll be living together sooner or later."
"Let's talk about it after you get married. If word gets out that you're living together now, your dad will be so embarrassed, and we'll never be able to face anyone in the village again!"
Zhang Huaitao gritted his teeth in anger. "Aren't you just meddling in other people's business? This is between Chen Man and me, what's it to you?"
"Your father isn't in good health, and as the head of the household, I can't just stand by and watch you misbehave!"
Zhang Huaitao had no choice but to say, "How about this, I'll go sleep in the side room, and she can sleep here."
"No, your dad is in the side room. The bed there is too small for two people."
"Then I'll go sleep in the living room." Zhang Huaitao took a blanket and lay down on the sofa in the living room.
Wang Yan could tell at a glance that this guy was still up to no good and definitely still had his eye on Chen Man.
No, we need to find a way to deal with him.
Wang Yan turned on the TV, sat on the single sofa, and watched TV while eating sunflower seeds.
Zhang Huaitao secretly groaned. This bitch was so unreasonable. Wasn't she going against him?
He couldn't force her, after all, Wang Yan was his stepmother in terms of seniority.
He could only curl up on the sofa and wait for Wang Yan to fall asleep.
He just couldn't believe that this woman could stay up all night.
Ye Kai came in from outside. "Wang Yan, I'm going home to sleep."
"Don't rush, sit down first."
Wang Yan gestured for Ye Kai to sit down in a chair, "Have some sunflower seeds."
Ye Kai grabbed some melon seeds and started cracking them open.
Zhang Huaitao turned over irritably, his face inward and his back outward, pretending not to see anything.
An hour passed, and the two were still watching TV. After they finished eating the sunflower seeds, Wang Yan brought out an apple, and the two switched to eating apples.
The clicking sound was particularly jarring.
Zhang Huaitao couldn't hold back any longer and complained, "Are you guys ever going to stop? Can't a person get any sleep?"
Wang Yan retorted, "If you find it noisy, send Chen Man to my room, and you can sleep in the west bedroom."
Zhang Huaitao opened his mouth, unsure how to refute.
He stood up and was about to walk towards the west bedroom when Ye Kai used his One-Finger Divine Skill to strike his sleeping acupoint from a distance.
Zhang Huaitao swayed and fell to the ground.
Ye Kai stepped forward and caught Zhang Huaitao.
Wang Yan ordered, "Send him to a side room and let him sleep with Zhang Youquan."
Ye Kai escorted Zhang Huaitao to a side room, where he and Zhang Youquan lay side by side on the bed.
The two of them squeezed together and could barely manage to sleep.
Zhang Youquan was in a deep sleep, and Zhang Huaitao was also unconscious; the two of them were embracing each other.
Ye Kai returned to the main room and heard a low moan coming from the west bedroom.
He went into the bedroom and saw Chen Man talking in her sleep, her face as red as the sunset, mumbling incoherently.
When Wang Yan came in, she exclaimed, "Oh no, the medication is taking effect!"
"Just give her some water."
Wang Yan shook her head. "It's no use. I gave her a glass of water, but she's still the same."
"It will probably be fine in a while."
"She's not going to get better. She drank two cups of medicinal wine, about half a jin (250ml)!"
"Half a jin is nothing, everyone can drink a few liang of liquor."
"This is medicinal wine, specially prepared by Zhang Youquan using bull penis, donkey penis, and deer antler. We must find a way to detoxify Chen Man, otherwise she will suffer severe burns. Even if she doesn't die, she will be seriously injured!"
Ye Kai frowned. "Is it that serious?"
"This is extremely serious!"
"Then how can we detoxify her?"
"There is someone who can cure her poisoning."
"Who?"
"you!"
