"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the head of the family can't get away at this time, so he explained to the villain and asked the villain to receive the lady on his behalf. I hope Miss won't dislike it!"

Gao Ran's front foot had just followed the next person into the living room, and An Lu walked in from another direction with his back foot, and came in close behind.

And what she said was very polite, but her posture when she spoke was quite similar to Li Lin in Gao Ran's memory - neither humble nor arrogant, neither the arrogance of the "person in power" nor the humility of the "subordinate".

"Something?!"

Hearing this, Gao Ran couldn't help but sneer in his heart, and then he pretended to be very modest and harmless very cooperatively, and responded gently, "Mr. An's words are serious! It's my honor to let you come to receive me in person, how can I dislike it? Come, please first!"

As she spoke, Gao Ran motioned for An Lu to sit across from her, and showed with her actions that if she didn't sit down first, she wouldn't sit down.

Seeing this, An Lu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

She didn't expect that although the second lady of the Gao family was still young, she was actually a person who knew how to be measured, not arrogant or impatient.

It seems that she can't underestimate her too much!

Thinking about it like this, An Lu's attitude towards Gao Ran was more cautious than before. She realized that she must not look down on her! Let alone treat her as a child -- even though Gao Ran is indeed still a child.

"Oh, Miss Sophomore, you have tormented the villain! You are a young lady, the villain is just a servant of the An family, how can you overstep your identity! Miss, don't embarrass the villain!"

"Hehe, don't be modest about Chief An! Compared with General Manager An's experience, I know that I am still very immature, so I won't go around in circles with you! Let's not talk darkly, I'll just say it! In fact, before I came to visit Anfu, I had already inquired about the current situation in Anfu in advance. Therefore, not only do I know that the head of the An family is not in the mansion at all, but I also know that Mr. An is now the person who really holds the real power in the An Mansion! So, you sit first, I sit later, this is completely reasonable! This is nothing out of the ordinary! You say yes, right?!"

Not to mention, Gao Ran herself doesn't like to play scheming, even if she wants to play, she knows very well that with her current Taoism, she will definitely not be able to play with the An Lu in front of her who can be her "grandmother"!

To put it mildly, Gao Ran absolutely believes that An Lu must eat more "salt" than she eats "rice"!

In that case, why didn't she simply admit her weakness and just make it clear?!

Although she also knows that "straightforward" is the clumsiest of all the feasible methods, it is better than her scheming is not as deep as the other party, resulting in her being smart but being mistaken by cleverness, and falling into the trap set by the other party without knowing it, much better!

And An Lu raised her eyebrows again after listening to Gao Ran's words.

She found that this sophomore lady seemed to be much smarter than she thought!

She didn't expect that Gao Ran would be completely unaffected by her "identity", not only generously "admitted" that her current Taoism was not as deep as hers, but also willing to present her "weakness" directly in front of her - how could she not know that Gao Ran's directness was not only not because of her "unintentional", but on the contrary, it was precisely her too scheming performance - she was very smart to choose the most beneficial way for her to deal with it at present.

"Not bad!"

Although Gao Ran was a member of the Gao family, An Lu couldn't help but cast some appreciative glances at her.

"Hehe, since the sophomore lady has said this, then I'm not welcome!"

This is the first time An Lu has used "I" to call herself in front of Gao Ran.

Gao Ran knew that this was a signal, a signal in her favor!

After the two of them sat down, Gao Ran glanced at Gao Xi, who was still standing beside him, and said to him, "Xi, you can sit down too! Now, your identity is not my 'guard', but the right-hand man of the Heavenly Pavilion Lord." This is who you really are. What you represent now is the Heavenly Pavilion!"

When Gao Ran said this, his voice was not loud, but it was enough for An Lu, who was sitting opposite her, to hear it clearly.

Gao Xi naturally understood Gao Ran's intention to do this, so he changed his previous attitude towards her, changed his posture in an instant, and sat beside her generously with a posture of being an "ally" who was completely equal to her.

An Lu's eyes widened, this was indeed too unexpected for her!

She didn't expect that this sophomore high school lady would still be related to Tiange! Moreover, she had come with the people from Tiange on her visit!

"Miss, since you have said that we don't talk darkly, then I will ask directly, what is your purpose?!"

Originally, An Lu thought that it was more than enough to deal with Gao Ran alone, but she didn't think that the "guard" on her side was actually a person from Tiange!

In this way, I am afraid that things will not be as simple as she originally thought......

Although An Lu had never seen Gao Xi before, from the aura that naturally emanated from Gao Xi's body, as well as his instantly changed posture, An Lu's heart was already clear: his status in the Heavenly Pavilion must not be low!

Moreover, more importantly, she could see that this not simple person was not only very familiar with Gao Ran, but he still seemed to obey her! Otherwise, before Gao Ran spoke just now, he would not just stand silently by her side as a "personal guard".

An Lu could naturally see that the one just now must have been Gao Ran, after meeting her, because she understood that she was only at a disadvantage compared to her, so in order to reverse her own disadvantaged situation, she temporarily came up with this countermeasure.

Thinking of this, An Lu couldn't help but appreciate Gao Ran a little more, "What a smart girl!"

No matter what Gao Ran's real purpose is, An Lu already knows in her heart that at least, for the time being, she is doing this just to win her "equality" in the initial position of the negotiation before the two start formal negotiations -- only "equality" can win the greatest interests for herself in the negotiations, and only when the two parties to the negotiation are equal in strength to each other, can the initial status of the negotiation between them be "equal".

"Hehe, Mr. An is really a cheerful person! Okay, then I'll say it directly! I know that although the An and Gao families haven't torn their faces yet, they are definitely not allies on the same front. It's just that I want to make my personal position clear to An Jia. Although I am the young lady of the Gao family, I am only loyal to myself! And what I really want is not consistent with the interests of the Gao family. So ......"

"What does the sophomore lady mean, don't you want to tell me that I should separate you from the Gao family?!"

An Lu interjected her conjecture in a timely manner when Gao Ran deliberately paused and deliberately "wanted to speak and stopped".

And, obviously, her conjecture hit Gao Ran's heart!

"Sure enough, dealing with smart people is easy! ”

For An Lu's "upper road", Gao Ran was very happy in his heart!

She suddenly had a hunch that this "alliance" might go even more smoothly than she expected, because it was Anlu who was so "on the road" who negotiated with her! )
