Finally, after hearing the news about Cao Tong, he was invited to Cao's Mansion as a guest. According to the agreed time, Tang Tong prepared a heavy gift and came to Shenxing Street to the north near Chaoyang Gate. Cao's Mansion was on this street. He arrived at Cao's Zhuhong's house.

At the front door, Tang Tong personally handed over the name card, and soon a man who looked like a butler came out to greet him.

The housekeeper of the Cao Mansion, whose surname was Ren, followed the housekeeper to the living room of the Cao Mansion. The housekeeper Ren asked Tang Tong to sit down and drink tea first, saying that Master Cao would be here in a minute. The decorations in the Cao Mansion were more elegant than those in the Xia Mansion. They looked like a businessman's house.

Atmosphere. This is related to the personalities of Cao Tong and Xia Zhan. Xia Zhan likes to be public.

Cao Tong loves elegance. Xia Zhan is greedy. The family business is dim. Cao Tong transfers official resources to commercial operations and is euphemistically called a Confucian businessman. If you don't study carefully, it is really difficult to find traces of corruption in the Cao Mansion. It is not something ordinary people can do to cover up the obvious.

, it really requires someone with a lot of brains.

I thought Cao Tong would bring Xia Xunqiu with him, but only Cao Tong came out. Tang Tong immediately stood up and saluted, "Hello, Mr. Cao!".

Cao Tong just waved his hand, "Master Tang is very punctual, please sit down!" Tang Tong waited until Cao Tong sat down before sitting down.

Unexpectedly, Cao Tong said something like this, "I heard that Mr. Tang is interested in Miss Qin Xinyi, why did he agree to contact my niece?".

Tang Tong became calmer after hearing this, with a smile on his face, "It was only by chance that I saved Miss Qin, and all my efforts to please did not yield any results. Wouldn't it be smoother with Miss Xia?"

Cao Tong stared at Tang Tong, seeing that he showed no emotion or anger, hiding his true thoughts, and didn't care, "Master Tang is very realistic! How do you know that my Xun'er is easy to bluff?".

Tang Tong still didn't change his expression, "Xia Ge has no objections, and Mr. Cao is helping me, so why worry about the big thing failing!".

Cao Tong saw that Tang Tong had pointed out the key point. No matter what the purpose was, it was first to see if he could win Xia Xunqiu's heart. So he reminded him again, "Remember our agreement?".

Tang Tong nodded frequently, "I will never break my promise after the deal is done!".

"Butler! Take Mr. Tang to the garden!" Cao Tong waved, not intending to accompany him.

Butler Ren came up and was very polite to Tang Tong, "Master Tang! Please come with me." Tang Tong said goodbye to Cao Tong and followed Butler Ren.

When he arrived at the garden, Tang Tong saw Xia Xunqiu, sitting in a pavilion in the garden, letting the butler say goodbye and leaving. When Tang Tong came to the pavilion, he did not forget to salute, "Hello, Miss Xia!".

Xia Xunqiu pointed to the seat in the pavilion and said, "Master Tang, please take a seat!".

Tang Tong did not sit down and blamed Xia Xunqiu, "Why did Miss Xia harm me?".

Xia Xunqiu pretended not to understand, "Why did I harm you?"

"In order to block Chen Dingxian, you came to entertain me!", with a sad look on his face that people couldn't bear to look at.

Xia Xunqiu chuckled. She didn't expect Tang Tong's aggrieved look, which was really funny. She still wanted to take advantage of Tang Tong, "I think you are a pretty good person besides Mr. Lan! I care about you a little now!"

.

Tang Tong didn't expect that Xia Xunqiu indulged himself so much and didn't really take himself to heart, "I'm not a good person. I won't shrink back like Young Master Lan. It's commonplace to use hands and feet!" He said rubbing his hands together.

He rubbed it, looking eager to try.

Unexpectedly, Xia Xunqiu didn't care about Tang Tong's actions. Instead, he said with emotion, "If Mr. Lan had half the ghosts and ghosts you have, we wouldn't have ended up like this!".

Tang Tong was stunned for a moment, stopped his hand and sat down, comforting her with some sympathy, "That's it! Miss Xia, don't be too sad, hasn't things turned around?" He smiled very evilly, with a kind of evil look.

Inexplicably selfish.

Xia Xunqiu looked at Tang Tong with pleading in his eyes, "Master Tang, can you give me some advice?".

Tang Tong looked at her and was a little carried away, "I really want to marry you, how can I help you?" After that, Tang Tong looked at Xia Xunqiu, he seemed to be very disgusted, and immediately changed the subject, "Miss Xia's personal bodyguard"

Maid, I’m not as beautiful as you, why don’t you give me one?”

Xia Xunqiu didn't understand why Tang Tong said such a thing. He thought about it carefully and understood. He told Zhenqiu and Choudong beside him: "Go and let people serve some tea and desserts!", Zhenqiu and Choudong.

Dong did not dare to go against Xia Xunqiu's wishes, so he bowed and obeyed.

Xia Xunqiu was alone in the pavilion at this time. Tang Tong smiled a little evilly, "Aren't you afraid that I will molest you?"

Xia Xunqiu seemed very confident, "From what I know about you, the more you say this, the less likely you are to do it. You are not a bad person."

Tang Tong raised his big thumb and praised him: "You have insight!".

Xia Xunqiu did not want Tang Tong's praise, but went straight to the point, "Now that he is gone, you should say it!".

"Miss Xia has to promise me something!" Tang Tong seized the moment, knowing that someone would be here soon.

Xia Xunqiu nodded, "Please speak!".

Tang Tong said quickly, "If I help Miss Xia this time, you will have to help me again in the future. Of course it is an official matter."

Xia Xunqiu did not hesitate and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Actually, this is not my intention. I am afraid of rejecting it directly. Firstly, I am afraid of your uncle's revenge. Secondly, I am afraid of hurting your heart. Thirdly, I also want to help you. I hope Miss Xia understands that as long as she has more contact with you, what will happen to me?"

He has many faults and is not the person you expected!" Tang Tong spoke very honestly.

Xia Xunqiu was a little confused. When he saw that Chou Dong was coming over, he had no choice but to reply: "Okay! That's what I thought. Please tell me your solution!"

Tang Tong took the time and said, "Xia Gexiang is just trying to shirk the blame just like you. He doesn't like me at all. All you have to do is make the matter bigger and let Mr. Cao Ge come forward and it will be solved!".

Xia Xunqiu didn't understand and asked: "My grandpa doesn't care about my affairs at all, and even persuaded me that my father was also doing it for my own good!".

Tang Tong hurriedly explained, "Because Mr. Cao Ge knows that you are a person who understands the overall situation, and you are just making a small fuss. But if you are forced to go on a hunger strike and commit suicide, things will be different!" At this time, Choodong and his servants took the

When the snacks came, Xia Xunqiu carefully savored the meaning of Tang's call. He saw that the plates had been placed and the tea was poured. He ordered again, "Choudong, take them down, and no one is allowed to come near!" Choudong responded and led everyone down.

.

Tang Tong and Xia Xunqiu were left. Xia Xunqiu had no confidence in this method and asked worriedly: "Can this work?"

Tang Tong knew that Xia Xunqiu had never done anything out of the ordinary, and was still hesitant. He said with a mocking tone: "What a kid! When a kid does something unusual, won't the elders be anxious?"

?Besides, it’s just enough to make noise, and it won’t affect your image as a lady!”

Xia Xunqiu now really admires Tang Tong for being able to understand his own heart. He has always followed the rules and really can't do such a thing. He couldn't help but ask: "How do you know what I think?".

Tang Tong looked surprised and said happily, "I really guessed it right!" He kept laughing as he spoke.

Xia Xunqiu felt that there was a more appropriate way, "Is this the only way?".

Tang Tongjian raised his index finger and moved it left and right, "No more! Relying on your grandpa and uncle is the most effective."

Xia Xunqiu thought about it carefully and realized that his idea was indeed too naive. Tang Tong said again: "Believe me! It's urgent! Mr. Cao Ge feels the most distressed!" He nodded, hoping to get her approval.

Xia Xunqiu looked at Tang Tong's confident look, how wonderful it would be if these words came from Lan Tingshu's mouth! Suddenly a curiosity arose in his heart, "Who is the person that Mr. Tang likes?".

Tang Tong acted very naughty, "If I tell you, you will laugh at me. It's a toad that wants to eat swan meat, so it's better not to tell!".

Seeing him say this, Xia Xunqiu was a little angry, "If you don't say it, don't say it. Who cares!".

"Keeping a secret will arouse people's curiosity, so that they can always remember themselves!".

Xia Xunqiu had never seen a man in front of him, completely regardless of the relationship between men and women. It was like a brother and sister talking. A sense of intimacy could not help but make him lose his worries. Xia Xunqiu asked: "What would you say to Chen Dingxian?"

.

Tang Tong raised his hands, shook them in disbelief, and made a face, "I would say that Miss Xia is making fun of me. How could Miss Xia, with her rich body, fall in love with me? How can I say this?"

When Xia Xunqiu saw Tang Tong's funny look, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

Tang Tong was stunned for a moment and said with emotion, "I didn't expect Miss Xia's smile to be so beautiful!".
