235. The Journey (6)
After being "teased" by Gao Ran's words, but it also made her suffer a little because of it, Uncle Xiao naturally let go of the last bit of defense against her unconsciously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He gave himself a very valid reason: at least this time, she should have no bad intentions. As she herself said, with her current strength, even if she really had that heart, I am afraid that she would not dare to plot against him in the next few years. - because she can't afford it!
Moreover, after listening to Gao Ran's explanation just now, he also roughly understood a fact: Gao Ran's keenness, although it was indeed a fact, was not as weird as he thought before. And in fact, instead of being overly defensive against her, maybe he should be more cautious about his own words and deeds in the future!
- Although in fact he also knows that Gao Ran is actually quite special: not only is she already smart, but more importantly, her identity is already more special than ordinary people - not only is she the same as him, but she is also Zhao Yi's apprentice, and besides, in addition to these, she can also use the power of Tiange at will.
Frankly speaking, if Gao Ran hadn't taken up all these resources that were difficult for ordinary people to obtain, it would probably be difficult for her to understand so many past private affairs between him and Zhao Yi in such a short period of time that few outsiders knew.
But even so, it was enough to give him a good warning: there is a first time, there will be a second time! Even if there will be no "second person" in the future who will easily penetrate the secret in his heart like Gao Ran, even if it will be Gao Ran who will make him encounter such a thing again in the future, this will never be a good thing for him—— not to mention, how can he guarantee that even if Gao Ran has no bad intentions this time, then she will definitely not have it next time?!
"Since I can't be her enemy because of 'relationship', I can't be my enemy, and I can't be careful about her...... Then let's try to be a 'friend' with her! Come to think of it, even if he is really calculated by her one day, if he is a 'friend', she will definitely not really harm me......"
Although Uncle Xiao doesn't know much about Gao Ran, he believes in Zhao Yi's vision and his own vision of seeing people!
Moreover, now, he also understands that he actually has no other better choice!
In this case, it would be better to try to believe her! And in this way, it would naturally be easier for him to ask her to come forward to help reconcile the relationship between him and Zhao Yi.
Besides, even if he didn't consider this level of personal matter, just for his refining medicine, Gao Ran was also his rare medicine test physique! Just this alone, he couldn't easily let her go, and even stopped interacting with her from then on. - He can't do this—— unless he doesn't refine medicine anymore, or he can find other people who are also invulnerable to poison and are willing to actively cooperate with him in testing medicine. Otherwise, Gao Ran is his best and only choice at present!
Therefore, no matter what he thought, he felt that at least in the next few years, at least before Gao Ran might really have the strength to compete with him, her role in him should not be underestimated and could not be replaced! He really had no reason to completely draw a line with her at this inopportune time, and completely blocked all the opportunities that could have been tried to benefit each other early! This would not be beneficial to anyone, but could lead to endless troubles...... He hadn't forgotten that in addition to being the second lady of the Gao family, Gao Ran had all kinds of rights that she was born with because of her identity, and the rights she herself obtained from Tiange, she was also Zhao Yi's only apprentice!
Thinking about it, with Zhao Yi's temperament, he has lived for almost a lifetime, but in the end he still accepted an apprentice, or an apprentice as young as he is! Not only that, but he even let her know so many of his private affairs! Therefore, it is not difficult for Uncle Xiao to think of the meaning of this Gao Ran to Zhao Yi: Zhao Yi will value Gao Ran so much, if he either sees his own shadow in her, he regards her as a continuation of himself.
Therefore, if you have to compare, Uncle Xiao feels that for the current Zhao Yi, the most special person is not Ye Yu, but Gao Ran!
However, Gao Ran didn't seem to know about this, but always wanted to bypass Zhao Yi, and secretly contacted Ye Yu in private without hurting his face: for example, she obviously wanted to achieve this goal through Uncle Xiao now.
It wasn't until this moment that Uncle Xiao really understood the real reason why he was always uneasy about Gao Ran's true intentions: it turned out that it was because he intuitively believed that Gao Ran was by no means a "good class", that is, not a "good class", so how could she care about a maid without selfishness?!—— even if that Gao Qiao might be really important to Gao Ran, but he didn't think that Gao Ran would really care about Gao Qiao unselfishly because of this. - In short, no matter what he thinks, he feels that "selflessness" to Gao Ran is simply going against her nature! And the last thing she will do is to go against her own nature—— this is the deepest impression Gao Ran has left on him so far, and it is also a judgment that he is convinced of her.
"It seems that the reason why she wants me to send a letter to the second senior sister for her is not because she is really worried about Gao Qiao, but because she wants to let the second senior sister know about her existence through me—— especially because she wants the second senior sister to know that she is the apprentice of the senior brother! Otherwise, it will be difficult to achieve the purpose she said earlier to make the senior brother jealous of her by currying favor with the second senior sister!"
In Uncle Xiao's opinion, such a purpose is more in line with Gao Ran's nature in his eyes! Although such a purpose is indeed too utilitarian, it really reassures him a lot! At least, he no longer has to worry about what bad intentions Gao Ran will have against him that he doesn't know yet! He believes that Gao Ran's real target is not him, but Ye Yu.
After figuring this out, Uncle Xiao was finally able to really let go of his guard and talk openly and honestly with Gao Ran! After all, if this matter could be negotiated, it would be beneficial to both of them. And the rest of the people who are involved in it will not suffer anything because of it. - At least, in his opinion, it was.
That being the case, what reason does he have for refusing to cooperate with Gao Ran?
After finally completely filtering out his thoughts and convincing himself thoroughly, Uncle Xiao took the initiative to speak and went straight to the point: "Little girl, I already know what you mean! And your purpose is also clear to me! You don't have to hide it anymore." I can promise you to send a message to the second senior sister for you, so that she can treat Gao Qiao well. Don't worry, I will definitely make Second Senior Sister 'impressed' by you! But you must also promise me one thing in return!
Uncle Xiao's words not only directly showed Gao Ran that he really knew her true purpose as he said, but also directly showed her that he also wanted to get something from her. In this way, it can be considered a fair trade.
And Gao Ran naturally fully received these! So, she also replied bluntly: "Okay! Since you are so refreshing, then I am not ambiguous." Whatever you want, as long as I can do it and never touch my bottom line, I will say yes!"
"Okay! What I want is very simple, as long as you help mediate the relationship between 'us' and the senior brother! Naturally, I don't expect you to be able to do it, but I hope you can do your best!" When he said this, Uncle Xiao was already very convinced, with Gao Ran's special attitude to Zhao Yi, if even she couldn't do it, then no one else in this world could do it!
But after Gao Ran heard this, he didn't agree immediately as he thought, but looked at him with a little hesitation.
He would not have expected that at this juncture, Gao Ran's vigilance, which had been relaxed for a long time, suddenly sounded an alarm to her, causing her to stand up immediately, instinctively take a step back, and be silent at an inopportune time.
Immediately afterward, Gao Ran's heart began to search for the true origin of this alarm......
Then, she found it. I heard a voice in my heart start to say: "Strange! Even now, he still calls the old man 'Senior Brother' over and over again! And he even calls her 'Second Senior Sister' to his wife...... It seems that the relationship between them is really not as simple as a simple personal relationship between children and daughters!
"But if the truth is really that complicated...... Then I'm getting involved, is it okay?!"
However, before Gao Ran could hesitate, she heard another completely different voice saying: "Nothing good or bad! Since you came to this other world, you have been 'involuntarily' from the beginning! And you have come to this day, every choice you make has doomed you to such a troubles as the present that do not know the future will be unavoidable sooner or later!"
"The old man is the master you chose by yourself, and he also accepted you, and from the moment your master-apprentice relationship was established, his troubles will sooner or later affect you—— you should have thought of it, and you should have been mentally prepared!
"What?!Now it's troublesome, and you want to retreat?! However, you caused the trouble yourself, so how can you say that you can get rid of it now?! What's more, how can you have the final say on the troublesome 'go and stay'?! Who do you think you are?!
Gao Ran was dumbfounded by this inexplicable rebuttal in his heart. I only feel that if she pretends not to hear this part of her heart, then she will definitely despise her self-deception in her heart! And if she faces it squarely, it means that she will be involved in the troubles that should have been just Zhao Yi's own, and it is impossible to predict whether once she is involved, the consequences will be auspicious or evil?
"Alas-" Thinking about it, Gao Ran couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.
