A car accident, our family of three crossed

Chapter 248 Bad intentions

Dean Cao handed over the card, then realized belatedly that Hang Shuheng and his friends had not shown their cards just now. He couldn't help but ask the concierge, "Let me ask you, why did you let those two people in even though they didn't have cards just now?"

Unless one has a very good relationship with the host family, one can do without the invitation. Of course, he was unwilling to believe this possibility. What kind of family is the Zhou family? How could a country family like them get close to them?

The more Dean Cao thought about it, the more he felt that it was the doorman who let them in without permission, and he didn't even bother to find out why the doorman and the maid were so enthusiastic about them.

"You, a slave, actually dared to let an unrelated person into the mansion without telling the master. What is your intention? Aren't you afraid that the master will blame you for doing this?"

The concierge glanced at his post, then raised his eyelids and looked at Dean Cao as if he was a fool. "Dean Cao from Qingyun Academy, right? What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"

Dean Cao pointed at the hanging flower gate that had blocked Hang Shuheng's figure, and said in an indignant tone: "Who are the couple who just entered to you? They don't have a visitor's card, why did you let them in? Those who came to the banquet today are all well-known people in the county. You let in any cats and dogs. If they offend any noble person, can you afford it?"

The concierge understood what he heard. It turned out that Dean Cao was targeting Hang Tongsheng! He was the master's distinguished guest, but he was treated as a nobody by the dean of this tiny academy.

"Who are you calling a nobody? Dean Cao, you are the dean of a college, but you can actually use such vulgar words. I really learned something new."

Dean Cao felt embarrassed after being confronted by him, and couldn't help blaming Hang Shuheng. It was all because that guy was disrespectful to him in the first place, otherwise he wouldn't have been so angry that he lost his temper.

And the doorman in front of him was really despicable. He actually embarrassed him in public, and he couldn't just turn around and leave.

The main reason why he brought his daughter to the banquet today was because he had heard that the eldest son of the Zhou family would come back from the capital to celebrate the birthday of Shopkeeper Zhou. If he brought his daughter here, if he could create an opportunity for an encounter with the eldest son of the Zhou, he might be able to become a relative of Shopkeeper Zhou.

In the county town, many people knew that although Manager Zhou was a businessman, he was also the son of an official in the capital. This identity alone was beyond the reach of many people.

"It was Cao who made a slip of the tongue, but as a concierge, you can't let people in and out at will. You dared to let that person in without a post. Aren't you afraid of offending the distinguished person?"

The doorman laughed out of anger. This Dean Cao was really interesting. After all, he was always harping on the fact that Hang Tongsheng didn't have a post.

The more he cared about this, the less the concierge was willing to explain to him. He just closed his post and handed it back, saying with a half-smile, "We in the Zhou Mansion do not need to explain to Dean Cao. If Dean Cao is here for a banquet, please come in! If you are here to lecture me, please turn around, turn left, and go back to lecture yourself."

"You..." Dean Cao was so angry that he was speechless. This servant of the Zhou Mansion was so arrogant. He calmed down and said, "You, a servant, are so disrespectful to guests. I will definitely report you to Manager Zhou."

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked into the gate of Zhou Mansion.

The doorman couldn't help but sneer as he looked at his back. If it weren't for the fact that he was a guest, he would have really wanted to throw this self-righteous guy out the door.

Cao Qianyu was led to the garden by the maid of Zhou's mansion, and Dean Cao went into the front yard of Zhou's mansion in a huff. At this time, there were already quite a few people present, including literati and businessmen, each from their own faction. Each circle had its own topics, and they looked down on each other, but did not interfere with each other.

Dean Cao looked around but did not see Hang Shuheng. That guy had entered the house and no one knew where he had hidden. Maybe he was up to something bad!

He relaxed his expression, walked into the small flower hall, and greeted the protagonist of today's birthday banquet, "Manager Zhou, nice to meet you, you are in high spirits today!"

"It's Dean Cao. Please come and have some tea. We are very busy in the mansion today, and I'm afraid I can't entertain you well enough." Zhou Huan said some polite words to him and called a servant to serve him tea.

"Manager Zhou, you are joking. You are the birthday boy today, so it is normal for you to be busy."

"Hahaha! Dean Cao is right. Mr. Zhou is not a good host. Please do as you please."

In the flower hall, the literati and the businessmen were divided into two groups, and the deans of several academies in the county were also invited to the banquet. Normally, Dean Cao should have gone forward to greet them, or discuss academic matters, but he did not go over, but stood close to Zhou Huan.

"Manager Zhou, I saw something outside your house just now, and I don't know whether I should tell you or not." When he said this, his voice was not small, and he even seemed to raise the volume intentionally, so that people around him could hear it and looked over here curiously.

Zhou Huan frowned slightly. It seemed that his purpose was not simple! He wanted to hear what this Cao's purpose was. "Oh? Dean Cao, please tell me. Let everyone listen to it. What is the interesting thing?"

Dean Cao was secretly delighted when he heard this, cleared his throat, and said, "There were many people outside just now, and the concierge might be too busy. I saw someone sneak into the mansion without showing his ID card, and I was also worried that someone with bad intentions sneaked in, so I had to remind Manager Zhou."

Zhou Huan sneered in his heart. In his opinion, the person with bad intentions was Dean Cao in front of him. These four words were almost written on his face.

Do you really think that the doorman of his Zhou Mansion is a vegetarian, and anyone can sneak in? Zhou Huan lowered his eyes and thought for a moment. There are only a few people who don’t have a post card, including Lu, the shopkeeper of Wanjuan Bookstore, Liu, the shopkeeper of Zuixiangju, and Hang Shuheng.

The first two had already arrived long ago, so the people Dean Cao was talking about couldn't be those two, so it could only be Hang Shuheng. It just so happened that Hang Shuheng had just arrived and was led by his eldest son to the garden with a group of young masters to have fun.

Before Zhou Huan expressed his opinion, Lu, the shopkeeper of Wanjuan Bookstore, took the lead in teasing, "I didn't expect that Dean Cao is so concerned about the affairs of the Zhou Mansion! The concierge didn't even notice someone sneaking in, but the sharp-eyed Dean Cao did."

Dean Cao did not hear the hidden meaning, and nodded, "I just happened to see it. I am afraid that someone with no sense of propriety would sneak in and offend you."

"Dean Cao is so thoughtful. I am very grateful to you." Zhou Huan pulled a playful smile on his face. "I wonder if Dean Cao can remember what this person looks like? Otherwise, there are so many people in the mansion today. It will not be easy to find such a person in a short time."
