214. Self-Casting
After Gao Ran took the initiative to speak, it took a while for the other party to finally appear. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but, contrary to what she expected, it was a boy of the same age as her who appeared.
"Hello Miss, my master invites you to go to the Humble House for a short stay to express his apologies for delaying your trip. ”
The words were very polite, but Gao Ran knew that she had no choice at all. However, she was happy to accept this "invitation". Then he happily followed the boy out of the maze and came to a small mansion built in the forest through a secret path.
But for some reason, the architectural style of this house makes Gao Ran feel an inexplicable sense of déjà vu. She always felt as if she had seen something like this somewhere......
Walking into the living room with this inexplicable sense of familiarity, the boy consciously retreated. When Gao Ran saw it, he knew that the master's family was about to appear!
Sure enough, she had just sat down leisurely when someone came out of the back room.
Gao Ran immediately raised his eyes and saw that the person who came was a man who looked about forty years old. Although he already had a few faint wrinkles on his face, strangely enough, those wrinkles did not detract from his beauty in the slightest, but rather showed that he had a mature charm...... (Even though Gao Ran doesn't like to use "beauty" to describe men, at this moment she can only use "beauty" to describe the feeling that the man in front of her gives her.) )
"It's just that how could his appearance be so familiar......?! It seems to ......" Gao Ran quickly searched her mind for anyone who looked similar to him, and finally, she finally thought of it!-"Dong Tianyi!"
I don't want to be okay, the more Gao Ran looked at the man in front of him, the more he felt that he and Dong Tianyi were so similar!
If it weren't for the fact that he was so much older than Dong Tianyi, and his temperament was much more mature than Dong Tianyi, Gao Ran would not have failed to react immediately: they would be so similar, if it wasn't a coincidence, then there would only be one explanation - he and Dong Tianyi must have some kind of kinship!
"Could it be that I have come to the Dong family's real place of residence by mistake?!"
Thinking of the Dong family's cautious and low-key style, it is not difficult for Gao Ran to surmise that they will not really live in that kind of mansion on the surface for a long time, and the forest array she strayed into before also made it clear that it was just to prevent trespassers from easily breaking into the secret place behind the forest array, but there was no intention of taking people's lives, otherwise, the poison deliberately planted in the forest would not only have the effect of causing people to coma......
In addition, the appearance of the person in front of him is so similar to Dong Tianyi......
Once these fragmentary clues are synthesized, it is naturally not difficult for Gao Ran to think of the truth of the place where she is, as well as her own real situation at the moment.
"Under 'Ren Ran', I don't know what Your Excellency is called?"
"No matter who you are from Dong Tianyi, I can't let you know my true identity! However, if you are harmless, I might as well let you know that I am a 'friend' with Dong Tianyi. Perhaps, this kind of nepotism can help me when necessary!" The reason why Gao Ran dared to think like this and dare to do this was because she believed that Dong Tian would definitely not choose to let the Dong family know his heart for her at such an inappropriate time - let alone let them know about their private life!
Therefore, Gao Ran felt that if she only revealed her "friend" relationship with Dong Tianyi, and indeed made the Dong family, who was "necessary" to know about it, believe her words, then, perhaps, if necessary, she could still get her help!
It's just that, for now, Gao Ran still can't confirm what kind of kinship the man in front of him is with Dong Tianyi, and what is his true position?
Gao Ran felt that only after she confirmed these two key points could she finally decide what distance she wanted to keep from them in the future?
However, for now, it should be enough for him to just know her "name"!
- Gao Ran had used this trick on Fu Wenxuan once before. It seems to work out pretty well, so she doesn't mind repeating it this time.
Moreover, the second use of the same pseudonym is naturally much more natural than the impromptu use of the first time. Therefore, even if the person in front of him was much more astute than Fu Wenxuan, Gao Ran was not afraid that he would be able to easily expose her lies.
"Ren Ran?" the man chewed on the name in a low voice, and looked at Gao Ran thoughtfully for a long time before politely replying, "Under Xue Mingyu." ”
"Don't have the surname 'Dong'?" Although the man is likely to use a fake name to deal with her like Gao Ran, his eyes made Gao Ran feel that what he said might be his real name.
However, for the sake of caution, Gao Ran decided to test him further!
"Oh, it turned out to be Senior Xue. The junior is polite!" As he spoke, Gao Ran got up and bowed respectfully to him. But before he could react, Gao Ran saluted first and then continued: "I hope the seniors don't blame, in fact, since the juniors saw the seniors for the first time just now, the juniors felt that the seniors' faces were very similar to a friend I knew, and they couldn't help but be a little curious......
Xue Mingyu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Gao Ran suddenly so respectfully called himself a "junior" to get close to him, and he didn't give him the opportunity to refuse her in time, for a while, Gao Ran's initiative and immediately made him fall into a passive and quite surprised by her "courtesy", and he couldn't help but be a little interested in her.
"Oh, if this is the case? That's really a coincidence! I don't know who Miss Ren's friend is?" At this moment, Xue Mingyu wanted to be patient with her first, he wanted to see what she wanted?
Hearing that Xue Mingyu didn't eat her set and called her with a polite address like "Miss Ren", she knew that he obviously didn't get the trick, but was playing with her with the mentality of wanting to watch a good show!
In this way, Gao Ran naturally did not dare to relax his attitude easily, and still replied with a respectful attitude: "Don't hide it from the seniors, the friend of the younger generation is the eldest son of the Dong family, one of the four great families of Yunxiang Kingdom, Dong Tianyi." I don't know, have you ever seen it before?"
"Dong Tianyi?!" As soon as he heard this name, Xue Mingyu's interest in Gao Ran, which had risen slightly, suddenly disappeared!
"Heh, that's really a coincidence! Xue has really seen it! Not only has he seen it, but he is quite familiar with it!" Speaking of this, Xue Mingyu looked at Gao Ran meaningfully, and continued with something obviously in his words: "It's just that I have never heard 'Tian'er' mention it, and he still has Miss Ren's 'friend'......"
Xue Mingyu deliberately aggravated the biting sounds of "Tian'er" and "Friend", but he looked at Gao Ran's eyes, except for a little temptation and necessary vigilance, but there was no hostility. Moreover, as soon as he came up, he directly showed the fact that he had a lot to do with Dong Tianyi. - In this way, it is not difficult for Gao Ran to understand, Xue Mingyu's real intention is only out of protection for Dong Tianyi, but it is not a preconceived belief that she is lying.
"It seems that this Uncle Xue respects Dong Tianyi's privacy. If it weren't for that, then for Dong Tianyi's private affairs that I just told him that he didn't know, he wouldn't have just tried to do it at this moment, but he didn't really suspect that I was lying!"
Realizing this, Gao Ran unconsciously had a good impression of Xue Mingyu.
"Oh, that's a long story......
"It's no secret, the younger generation and Tianyi met in Yunxiangguo more than four years ago because of a chance encounter, but we hit it off at first sight, and even improvised a song. Because of that song, we immediately decided that each other was our bosom friends!
"Unfortunately, I left shortly after that for personal reasons...... To this day, I still haven't had the chance to reunite with Tianyi again......
"I'm not afraid of the seniors laughing, in fact, the juniors still miss the kind of resonance that only bosom friends can give when they played with him at the beginning! If there is a chance, the juniors really hope to play another song with him, and once again share with him this sense of resonance that can only mean something indescribable!"
After briefly recounting some of her past with Dong Tianyi, Gao Ran deliberately "melancholy" for a moment, and then withdrew from the past she had just narrated, and finally added: "This is how things happened, if the seniors don't believe it, you can find Tianyi to confirm it with me face to face! The juniors believe that Tianyi will not forget me!"
"Hahaha, Miss Ren is serious! Xue believes that what you said is true. When responding like this, Xue Mingyu had a plan, "Don't hide it from Miss Ren, Tian'er happens to be in the cold house at this time." Since you are friends, I summoned him to meet you!"
"Really?!Then thank you seniors for making it happen!" Gao Ran immediately reacted with "extremely happy and a little surprised", but at the same time he was bitter in his heart: "Isn't it?!Isn't it so unlucky?!! Dare to love me, I really threw myself into the net?!"
However, fortunately, the fortunate thing in the misfortune is that even if she is indeed in the Dong family's sphere of influence at the moment, she is not just fighting alone, fortunately, Dong Tianyi also happens to be here.
"Tianyi, whether I live or die, it's all up to you!" While waiting for Xue Mingyu to order someone to invite Dong Tianyi to the living room, Gao Ran always looked forward to it with excitement on his face, but he couldn't stop praying secretly in his heart.
If the idea can be passed on to the other party to know, then Gao Ran really hopes that she and Dong Tianyi can have telepathy at this moment, so that he can clearly receive the deep expectations she places on him at the moment!
