if our captain is here, I'll still say it!" The tall man didn't seem to be intimidated. He shouted at Zhang Shaohua, his breath filled with alcohol fumes blowing directly into Zhang Shaohua's face.Zh...Chapter 590: Anniversary Celebration (4)

The man was different, thinking that his girlfriend was defending Xiao Yu. Now he finally had an opportunity to get rid of Xiao Yu and his group. Moreover, in his heart, he secretly fumed, suspecting that Xiao Yu might indeed be her first love; otherwise, why would she still have such strong feelings for him

Furthermore, at a time when he himself was injured, she still spoke up for Xiao Yu. Could there not possibly be something going on between them The only plausible explanation was that Xiao Yu had taken her virginity and even though they were now separated, she continued to think of him fondly because it’s often said that women never forget their first love!

As he looked at the woman, this thought gnawed away at his heart. The more he considered it, the angrier he became, glaring fiercely at Xiao Yu and his girlfriend.

In today's society, people who sleep with each other on their first date were not uncommon, making such suspicions hard to dismiss, especially given that they had dated for over two months.

"So are you saying...you're neither a student here nor a participant in the anniversary celebration" Upon hearing this man’s words, the security captain's eyes turned cold. He then addressed the man with an elongated tone:

However, seeing the people around him, the security captain quickly put on a friendly face and said with a smile: "Sir, we regret to inform you that as non-student or staff members of this institution, you are temporarily not allowed entry. Today is our school’s anniversary celebration, and for your safety, all uninvited guests are kindly asked to leave. Excuse me..." No sooner had the security captain finished speaking when several other guards approached them, with the captain gesturing outward.

Usually, these guards were quite irritable and would have driven away such people long ago. However, given that so many alumni were present today, they had to maintain a facade of politeness toward this man.

Hearing the security captain’s words, not only did the man's face turn red but also those of the two women supporting him. Their faces turned even more sour as everyone in the cafeteria stared at them.

"B-but...they're not..." The man still protested, pointing towards Xiao Yu and his girlfriend.

"Haha, them What’s going on here"

After hearing the man's words, the security captain chuckled and spoke, but his words were immediately interrupted by a voice from beside him.

The security captain felt very annoyed when he was interrupted. So with an angry look on his face, he turned to glare at the speaker, but as soon as he saw who it was, his initially angry expression instantly changed into a fawning one, and his straight posture slumped over immediately. "Principal Qian! Hello, I didn't expect you to be so moved by this. It's like this, these few people aren't alumni of our school, we don't know why they're here, I'm currently handling it!"

"Oh." Upon hearing the security captain's words, Principal Qian glanced at the man and said: "Excuse me, gentlemen, but our school is in a very critical period. We kindly request non-staff to leave."

He took one look at these people and then at the business card lying on the ground and knew what was going on. However, with so many people watching him, he needed to display an amiable side, so he said with a smile.

After saying that, he ignored them completely and turned towards Xiao Yu's direction. The formal smile on his face immediately transformed into a warm one as he said: "Dr. Xiao Yu Old Zhuo has invited you for a meal together!"

The moment Principal Qian finished speaking, the previously noisy surroundings fell silent all of a sudden, everyone looking at Xiao Yu.

Some had just seen Old Zhuo and Xiao Yu talking outside earlier while some hadn't. Those who did know better than to be surprised since they were aware of their relationship. But what about those who didn't They couldn't believe it—Old Zhuo, a person of his standing, inviting someone so young for a meal

"Um... please convey my regards to Principal Qian, but tell Old Zhuo that I won't be going." Upon hearing Principal Qian's words, Xiao Yu said.

Xiao Yu didn't have any intention of eating inside; how could he possibly enjoy his meal there as much as here

Principal Qian's smile immediately faded upon hearing what Xiao Yu had to say. But he quickly plastered a new one on, and said: "Heh, just like Old Zhuo predicted. He told me to tell you to pick him up when you leave tonight."

It turned out that when Old Zhuo asked Principal Qian earlier to invite Xiao Yu over, he had mentioned that Xiao Yu probably wouldn't come but still wanted to extend the courtesy.

In his view, being able to have a meal with Mr. Zhu should be an honor; how many people nowadays can dine with Mr. Zhu Even if Mr. Zhu knows Xiao Yu, he would certainly not refuse, right After all, Xiao Yu is young, and even in terms of seniority, he must be considered junior to the Zhu family. Now that Mr. Zhu invites him over for a meal, it clearly shows how much Mr. Zhu values him; who wouldn't accept such an invitation

Therefore, he did not take Mr. Zhu’s last sentence seriously at all. He never expected Xiao Yu to reject his offer without hesitation as soon as he mentioned it.

Only then did he recall what Mr. Zhu had said earlier. Upon thinking about those words, he was shocked and simply told Xiao Yu briefly before leaving.

Fearful of staying any longer and embarrassing himself later on, when recalling Mr. Zhu’s words just now, his heart raced uncontrollably. It turned out that there was a sentence in what Mr. Zhu said earlier that he did not initially notice but which is rather alarming upon reflection. Back then, Mr. Zhu had mentioned inviting Xiao Yu for dinner as a matter of courtesy.

Who could make Mr. Zhu extend such courtesies Just because someone has entered the national rank doesn't mean Mr. Zhu would need to go out of his way with such politeness! Therefore, upon these realizations, he felt his heart pounding intensely.

The security guards saw how respectfully Principal Qian treated Xiao Yu and thus became bolder, apprehending Xiao Yu's former colleague and escorting them outside the school.

Before leaving, this head of security nodded at Zhang Qiuzhan.

It turned out that Zhang Qiuzhan was acquainted with the head of security from before. When Zhang Qiuzhan was still a student, he was very generous, even tossing cigarette boxes to the security guards whenever they crossed paths; over these years, Zhang Qiuzhan had grown close with them, so naturally, they sided with him now.

This man regretted his actions despite himself. The situation was beyond his control, and there was nothing he could do about it now. Back then, out of instinct, he had called out to Xiao Yu, fearing that Xiao Yu might snatch his business away from him. But now Xiao Yu is fine, while he has been beaten up and kicked out with no business secured.

At the beginning, he never imagined someone would dare act aggressively here in broad daylight with so many people around the cafeteria; thus, he only thought of insulting Xiao Yu a little to get under his skin, believing Xiao Yu's character would lead him to leave without saying anything.

In reality, Xiao Yu no longer had any connection with this man, but the man did not see it that way. Deep down, he believed that he was picking up what Xiao Yu had discarded and that Xiao Yu could only be bullied; hence, every time he saw him, he couldn’t help but belittle Xiao Yu to demonstrate his superiority over him.

But he did not expect the other person to dare beat him up in front of so many people in the cafeteria, which left him momentarily at a loss.

Xiao Yu and his group did not go anywhere after they finished eating; instead, they rested here. Unlike Xiao Yu's group, those older people all left for their hotels after finishing their meals as the afternoon meeting wouldn't start until 2:30 PM, and this morning had already worn them out.

Xiao Yu and his group headed towards the auditorium around two in the afternoon. In the afternoon session, representatives from each class gave speeches, but Xiao Yu's group was still dozing off below.

The time flew by quickly in the afternoon. The evening had been arranged for a school anniversary celebration gala; fortunately, these people were staying in nearby hotels, so they wouldn't have to go back and forth even if the gala ended late. Besides, most of these alumni would not participate in such galas; it was only students who attended.

Xiao Yu's group wasn't particularly interested in this kind of gala either, so when they returned from the auditorium, Xiao Yu told everyone to come over to his place later.

After all, if they came for a visit once, it wouldn’t be proper not to take them home. Moreover, today evening Old Zhuo and Dai Yuxin would also go there; therefore, it was appropriate to let them drop by their new home as well.

Xiao Yu then asked Wang Chengzhi's group to wait here for a while after he left to find Old Zhuo. In no time, they were walking towards Xiao Yu’s place with Old Zhuo.

The four of them rode in one car, and the three cars carrying Old Zhuo and his companions quickly made their way to Xiao Yu's home. On the way, Xiao Yu bought some ingredients for making hot pot dishes.

Since everyone hadn't eaten dinner yet, Xiao Yu decided to make hot pot dishes for them. Old Zhuo and Wei Jun had tasted them before, but Wang Chengzhi’s group hadn’t tried it yet. Moreover, what had Old Zhuo not seen or eaten Hot pot was a rare delicacy; even he would likely still find it appealing.

Furthermore, Xiao Yu's hot pot dishes were different from those made by Old Li. And since Old Zhuo had never tasted Xiao Yu’s version before, now seemed like the perfect time to treat guests with them.

Old Zhuo didn't pay much attention to going to Xiao Yu's place or accompanying him; he was merely trying to get closer to Xiao Yu.iao Yu's place returned to its usual quietness. While Xiao Yu was somewhat curious as to why this young man would be haunted by ghostly entities, he didn't dwell on things that couldn't be figured out...
