208. Admit your mistakes
After everyone followed Dong Tianyi to his private residence in the city and settled down, Gao Ran immediately took Dong Tianyi straight to the room he arranged for her in full view of everyone, and closed the door himself. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Gao Xi and Zhao Yi met, they immediately understood that she must have something to discuss with Dong Tianyi alone, and they all probably guessed what she might talk to him about?
It's just that, unlike Gao Ran, in their opinion, this matter is actually irrelevant. To be precise, this matter is only important to Gao Ran and Dong Tianyi......
"Why are you here? And you calculated the time when I was there? Don't tell me it's just a coincidence! You have too many flaws to show that this is not a coincidence at all, but you did it on purpose!" Gao Ran asked with a serious face.
"Ran'er, you listen to me first! You misunderstood...... Yes, I am there to find you. But I didn't know that you were so coincidental to be there that day! It was really just a coincidence that I met you there!"
"Hmm...... In other words, it's not a coincidence that you will come to Banana Country?" Although Dong Tianyi deliberately avoided the key point of the matter, how could Gao Ran be easily fooled by him? At this moment, she really had a posture of vowing to break the casserole and ask to the end!
"Alas!" Dong Tian saw that Gao Ran was so unrelenting, and knew that he couldn't avoid it, so he had to compromise and said: "Ran'er, I don't want to hide it from you, it's just that this is the rule of our Dong family, but anything related to the Dong family, if it is not necessary, it must not be easily let outsiders know......"
Speaking of this, Dong Tianyi suddenly realized that what he said just now seemed to be inappropriate, and he was afraid that Gao Ran would misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained: "Ran'er, don't misunderstand! I don't regard you as an outsider! It's just that for the Dong family, you are indeed an outsider." Moreover, you are still the second lady of the Gao family, and you have the right to inherit the next head of the Gao family......"
"Okay!" Gao Ran couldn't help but interrupt Dong Tianyi's words, "I understand what you mean! You don't have to explain these to me, I won't misunderstand." You might as well move on to the original!"
"Oh......" Seeing that Gao Ran's expression at this moment was indeed much kinder than before, it seemed that it was indeed as she said, she did not misunderstand, Dong Tianyi was a little relieved, and then continued: "Ran'er, as a member of the Gao family, you should know the position that our Dong family has always upheld. Whether it is the imperial court or your three major families, our Dong family has never deliberately favored any of you. Moreover, since our Dong family has been able to do this from the beginning of the founding of the Yun clan to this day, then we have the confidence to dare to do this and be able to do this! Therefore, it is not unusual for you to find out the power of our Dong family here. -- What's more, in fact, our power in Banana has only begun to develop in recent years......"
"Hmm...... In other words, the reason why you are here is not because you knew in advance that I was going to come here, so you specially chased you here?!" While deliberately asking Dong Tianyi in this way, Gao Ran actually had another question in her heart: she suspected that the reason why Dong Tianyi came here deliberately was not only due to part of her reasons, but more importantly, it should be related to the Dong family's power migration in the next few years-just like what the An family has been doing in the past few years.
She wouldn't believe that the Dong family, who has the ability to always uphold a neutral position, would predict that there would be a big chaos in Yunxiang in a few years?!
Since they had expected it a long time ago, it was naturally not difficult for them to think that in order to ensure that they could continue to be alone and not be affected by the war, they were bound to relocate and evacuate their major industries and forces from the most important battlefield as soon as possible! Otherwise, when the war broke out, as one of the four great families, in order to protect themselves, they would sooner or later be forced to be drawn into this power struggle that had little to do with them!
But it's one thing to think about it, it's another thing for her to ask it.
Gao Ran thought about it for a while, and felt that it was better not to meddle too much in this matter!—even if it was obvious that Dong Tianyi was involved in this matter. But in the final analysis, this is still just their Dong family's own housework, and it is really inconvenient for her as an outsider to ask.
What's more, she is still a member of the Gao family, and her identity is there, so it is naturally more inconvenient for such an outsider to ask about this matter!--lest it will make Dong Tianyi in a dilemma at the same time, and at the same time cause some unnecessary trouble to herself: after all, the Dong family is not an family, and if there is really any stake between her and the Dong family, I am afraid that only this marriage contract between her and Dong Tianyi in private will be the one! In this way, when she thinks about it from the position of the Dong family, it is naturally not difficult to think that if she chooses to provoke the Dong family at this time, I am afraid that the possibility of her becoming a "stumbling block" that the Dong family wants to get rid of as soon as possible will be far greater than the possibility of her becoming an ally of the Dong family!
"I'm sorry Ran'er, I don't want to lie to you...... I...... Actually, after you left the academy, I ordered someone to check the destination of your trip. But I didn't expect it to be a banana country!
"Compared to you, I naturally know the fastest route to Banana Country. So, I took a shortcut and traveled day and night, and it took me a year to get here early. I was going to wait here for my 'chance encounter' with you, but I thought that no matter how slow you were, you should be able to reach it in two years...... But I don't want to ......."
"But I don't want to, we would stop and stop on the road for so long, so that it took us more than four years to complete the road that could have been completed in two years?!"
"Hmm. ”
"So, your patience is almost exhausted, so much so that you even plan to go back along the route we are most likely to take, hoping to 'run into me' on the way?"
"Hmm. ”
"And what about your horses? You can't have walked there and waited for us, right?"
"No, I don't lie to you! We did get there on horseback, but since I had never taken this route before, I didn't know how far we were from getting out of the prairie when we got there, and the water we were carrying was gone, so I thought we would let the horses go to the neighborhood to find water for us...... At that time, I really planned to spend the night there......"
After speaking, Dong Tian lowered his head unconsciously, looking very aggrieved.
"Alas. Gao Ran sighed helplessly, facing Dong Tianyi's expression, even though she felt that she was not wrong, but when she spoke, she still comforted him in turn because she didn't want to hurt him, "Okay, I know." I'll forgive you this time, but I don't want this kind of 'chance encounter' you want!
"Tianyi, as for me, if it is not necessary, I generally prefer to go straight. So, if you want to see me, you can come to me generously!"
Speaking of this, Gao Ran paused, she suddenly remembered at this moment when she was in the academy before, but she herself asked Dong Tianyi not to come to her uninvited!
After thinking of this stubble, Gao Ran realized that the real initiator who caused him to go to such great lengths to see her was herself!
Thinking of this, Gao Ran suddenly lost the confidence to continue to be upright. Coupled with Dong Tianyi's aggrieved appearance, she just wants not to feel that she is at a loss, it is difficult!
After struggling for a while, Gao Ran was still unable to resist his conscience's questioning of himself, and finally reluctantly admitted his mistake to Dong Tianyi: "Okay! I was wrong! Don't accuse me so silently like that! It makes me feel so guilty...... I'm sorry, but I forgot that I didn't let you come uninvited in the first place, so if you think about it from your point of view, you would deliberately bother to see me, in fact, it is understandable...... I forced you to do it - and even if I really don't like it, I really don't have the right to blame you...... I'm sorry, I know wrong. If you want to come to me in the future, just come. I'm not going to be angry......"
"Besides, this is also your right - the right ...... that my 'family' naturally has" - the last sentence, Gao Ran didn't say it, just silently said it to herself in her heart - just to remind her that she must remember her new identity now, and she can't be too willful!
Of course, deliberately not saying it, there is also a reason why I don't want to hurt Dong Tianyi's part. Even if she is so cold-hearted, it is not difficult to imagine how disappointed Dong Tianyi would be if he heard her sincere words: even she knew that she would think like this, which was enough to show that she only intellectually understood her obligations as a "family member" - to accept him and recognize his rights, but her heart obviously did not really accept him, otherwise, she would not have deliberately reminded herself like this......
