After breakfast, Gao Ran asked Qiao'er to go to the market alone to buy some daily necessities that they might use on the road in the future, while she and Gao Xi specially changed their outfits and prepared to go to Fu's mansion with the temporary greeting post she had prepared.

She planned to meet and say hello to the person in the Fu Mansion who was now in charge of affairs (after all, she was visiting suddenly, and it was difficult to guarantee that the head of the family would not be at home......

She felt that before finally deciding which side to help, she should first go to the Fu and An families to say hello and meet with their leaders, and by the way, take the opportunity to evaluate the possible strength of the two families, and first weigh which one they are inclined to, which side will be more beneficial to her in the future?

After all, the "family" ultimately looks at the strength and power of the entire family, especially the head of the family himself, rather than the personal strength of Fu Wenxuan and An Yujie, who are still fledgling and not even considered "heirs......

What Gao Ran really has to think about is not to form an alliance with a stronger party in the future - because sooner or later she will have to leave the Gao family, and at that time, there will be no "alliance", as long as it is a "family", it is impossible to have any cooperation with her at that time.

What she really had to think about was to try not to offend the more powerful party as much as possible - if she was destined to offend one of the Fu and An families.

As long as she can maintain friendly relations with the stronger party, in the future, when she breaks away from the Gao family, as long as the court does not exert pressure, and she herself has the power that can make the court somewhat fearful, then what the "family" is best at is to turn a blind eye and be a bystander, not to help any side, and not to offend any side.

Even if you can't have more than one "friend", at least, it's good to have fewer terrible enemies!

And since it has been decided that both families will go to the meeting for a while, it is natural to start with the Fu family, which has no grievances for the time being!

After all, compared to An Yujie. Gao Ran felt that maybe she would go to Fu Wenxuan's side first at the beginning, and maybe she would encounter fewer nails - who made this "rival in love" always more disgusting than the "marriage partner"?!

Although he has these two "roles" at the same time, it is not from Gao Ran's original intention......

"Miss Ren?"

But I didn't think about it. Gao Ran had just left the inn when he happened to meet "Fu Xuan", who had changed his clothes and was about to go out.

Seeing that Gao Ran stopped, "Fu Xuan" knew that he didn't recognize the wrong person!

"It's really you! I didn't expect that Miss Ren was really a real person!"

Gao Ran naturally heard the meaning of "Fu Xuan's" exclamation.

"Hehe, walk the rivers and lakes. Naturally, caution should be exercised. It's just for safety reasons......"

"Yes, yes! Miss Ren said yes! I am also very taught! Then, look at Miss Ren's dress at this time...... But which big family are you going to visit?"

Gao Ran listened to "Fu Xuan"'s question, thought about it, and felt that the two of them should have similar backgrounds anyway, so he didn't plan to fight with him anymore - not to mention, he was more familiar with Qingli Town than her!

"Yes, yes! I was going to visit the Fu family. To tell you the truth, my family and the Fu family have business contacts all year round, so. Since I have come to this Qingli Town, I should naturally go to the Fu Mansion to pay a visit, it is reasonable!"

"The Fu family?!, but the 'Fu family'?!"

Gao Ran listened to "Fu Xuan's" question, and didn't think much about it, but thought that maybe it was because he also had the surname "Fu" - although it was not "Fu", it might just be because the pronunciation of the surname was the same, so he wanted to confirm it, so as not to misunderstand that she was going to his "Fu family......

"Well, it's the 'Fu family'! By the way, if Fu Gongzi doesn't mind, I also want to visit your 'Fu family'. By the way, I will also help you find out about the current situation of your family...... However, Fu Gongzi, don't worry, I will never reveal any of your whereabouts!"

The words are very reasonable, and it seems to be very thoughtful for the sake of "Fu Xuan", but in fact. Gao Ran just wanted to take the opportunity to meet the man in green for a while.

However, after hearing this, "Fu Xuan" not only did not have the slightest intention of thanking Gao Ran for his kindness, but instead showed an embarrassed face......

"Fu Gongzi, what's wrong with you, why do you look like you're ......" Gao Ran wanted to say the words "very overwhelmed", but the words came to his lips. But he still didn't say it, but changed it to a more euphemistic expression, "It doesn't seem to be easy to ......"

But Gao Ran is not wrong to describe it this way.

"Fu Xuan" is indeed "not very good" at the moment!

Because he found out that as long as Gao Ran went to the Fu Mansion and met his brother and sister-in-law who were chasing him before...... Then wouldn't he have deliberately changed his name and surname?

Thinking that if this was the case, he might never be able to gain Gao Ran's trust again. Even, maybe because he deceived her first, she simply betrayed him and revealed his current whereabouts directly to his family - then his goal of running away from home could not be achieved?!

After thinking about it, Fu Xuan was ruthless, and decided to simply gamble - instead of being discovered by Gao Ran later, it was better for him to confess to her now!

He wanted to see if even if he let her know that he had actually lied to her, would she still be willing to help him?! Or, even if it was out of the family's interests and not good for him, at least, could she not betray him in turn?!

Before confessing, "Fu Xuan" had already made a decision in his heart, "If I find that she has the slightest insincerity, I will disappear immediately! Go to a place where even she can't find it! In this way, I don't have to worry about being betrayed by her!"

"Miss Ren, I'm sorry, there is something, I think I need to confess to you now!

Seeing that "Fu Xuan" had a serious look on his face, Gao Ran immediately guessed vigilantly that what he wanted to say next was probably related to her going to visit the "Fu family" this time-otherwise, why would he say "missed the opportunity"?!

"Isn't it?!"

In an instant, Gao Ran thought of it, could it be that this "Fu Xuan" is not surnamed "Fu", but surnamed "Fu"?!

"Fu Gongzi, let's go back to the house and talk! There are a lot of people here, and it's not a convenient place to talk about things......"

With that, Gao Ran turned around first and re-entered the inn......

When Fu Xuan saw it, he immediately followed.

――

"Hey, you go and keep guard outside the door, and no one is allowed to disturb you. I have something to talk about with Fu Gongzi......"

"Yes!"

Gao Xi naturally understood the meaning of Gao Ran's words, and after responding, he immediately retreated and closed the door for them.

And Gao Ran personally locked the door from the inside after Gao Xi went out.

Then, he invited "Fu Xuan" to sit down at the tea table in the room.

"Fu Gongzi, now you can speak!"

"Hmm. ”

Fu Xuan whispered in response rather ambivalently, and then was silent for a while, as if he was still making a final struggle......

Gao Ran didn't urge, just waited quietly on the side.

After being silent for a long time, "Fu Xuan" spoke again......

"Actually, my name is not 'Fu Xuan', my real name is 'Fu Wenxuan', and I am the second son of the 'Fu family' that you are about to visit...... I'm sorry Miss Ren, I lied to you......"

After some self-struggle, I finally told the secret in my heart!

Immediately after, Fu Wenxuan stared at Gao Ran nervously for a moment, for fear of missing the slightest change in her expression and eyes!

But she didn't think about it, after Gao Ran heard it, although her first reaction was a little surprised, it was only a momentary accident...... And in the next moment, she immediately regained her previous bland demeanor, and smiled very indifferently. It was as if the secret he had just told her was, in her opinion, just a very trivial matter!

"Miss Ren...... You ......"

Fu Xuan was puzzled by Gao Ran's reaction, as if she was not surprised by his lie, but she was indeed a little surprised at first......

Such a strange reaction made "Fu Xuan" a little unclear why this "Ren Ran" was surprised or not surprised by the truth he confessed to telling him? ! Why did she react like this? )
