"Ran Er thanked Uncle Xue for his kindness first. www.biquge.info It's just that it's not that Ran'er is unwilling to give up everything she has now, but that what Ran'er is carrying now is not just the family responsibility that I have to bear as the 'second lady of the Gao family'!

"I'll tell you the truth, in fact, more than two years ago, when Ran Er passed through Qingli Town in Yunxiang Kingdom, she had more or less personal involvement with the An and Fu families due to some coincidences...... And my personal relationship with these two families is 'private', so it will not be interrupted just because I am no longer 'the second lady of the Gao family'!-unless, I am really dead!

"In other words, if I just change my name and surname, but I am still me, then as long as I am still alive and well, then sooner or later they will still find me!

"In fact, since I have made a private agreement with them, I can no longer easily dissociate myself from them!

"Uncle Xue, frankly speaking, 'identity' doesn't matter to me! I don't care what my identity is in the eyes of others unless I really need to! So, personally, if you really want me to change to a more 'suitable' identity so that you can rest assured that I can continue to associate with Tianyi, then I will accept it!-But the premise is that you can block for me the An and Fu families, who can be evenly matched with the Dong family even if they don't join forces, will hold me accountable in the future! I will be sure that I will not be threatened by them for the rest of my life.

"It is true that for now, my existence is indeed 'dispensable' for the Gao family. Even if I really die, the Gao family can also select a suitable candidate from the side branches of the family, inherit it to the lineage, let her take my place, and carry everything that the so-called 'second miss of the Gao family' should carry for me. In addition, I was born with a weak body, and I almost died a few years ago...... So, even if I'm 'dead' now, most of them won't be too serious, and will they delve too deep into the matter, is there anything strange about it?—as long as you're clever enough to make me fake my death!

However, for the An and Fu families, the situation is completely different!

"I can tell you with certainty that today's Ran'er, for them, is not easily replaced! My value to them is not something that can be easily offset by a simple 'fake death'!

"I know that you must be puzzled by now: what kind of private past did I have with An and Fu, which caused the current situation?

"But, please forgive Ran'er for not being honest! After all, the stakes are high, and some things, 'irrelevant people', not knowing, are the best! Otherwise, the more you know, the faster you will die!

"Uncle Xue, Ran'er doesn't want to lie to you, and she knows that she can't fool you. Ran'er just wants you to know that the reason why I did that was purely just for him to be able to better protect himself one day! But at that time, I would never have imagined that I would be here today! I would never have thought that I would meet you! I would never have thought that you would give me such a chance to get rid of the past completely......

"Alas, it's a pity, it's hard to buy 'I knew it earlier'! Perhaps, this is 'fate'! People, after all, can't be considered God......

Xue Mingyu thought that if Gao Ran wanted to refuse, at most she could only use the Gao family as a possibility, but she didn't think that not only did she not expect the Gao family at all, but also unexpectedly entered the game with the two families of Raan and Fu!

Although he didn't know what Gao Ran had to do with these two families, just by saying to her, "just so that he could better protect himself one day," he believed that she really had some kind of ulterior personal deal with these two families! And the price that she was able to use the power of these two families to help herself get rid of the certain bad luck that her identity was likely to bring to her in the future was that she had to bear a certain responsibility and obligation that the two families wanted her to assume and earnestly fulfill from now on!

Xue Mingyu carefully pondered what Gao Ran said a little, and felt that although he didn't know what capital she could have to reach a private deal of this level with those two families, if what she said was true...... Then, the two families she deliberately mentioned that they would not let her go easily are likely to be true!

And, if he really deliberately checked......

"If you really want to find out such a confidential matter, I'm afraid it will be very difficult! And how can the An and Fu families be easily provoked?!"

Xue Mingyu pondered it carefully, and felt that even if he really found out everything, the most likely consequence that Gao Ran had said - he would die faster because he knew what he shouldn't know - it was really likely to happen to him! It might even affect the Dong family and his own mother clan because of this. -- Even if the families may not immediately start fighting each other because of this, they will still form grudges and knots because of this, and sooner or later, something will still happen!

"In the end, is she playing tricks to bluff me? Or is it really something?! And she really just confessed her distress to me?!"

Xue Mingyu frowned slightly. Now it seems that whether or not he wants to investigate this matter is probably an extremely risky choice!

However, no matter what the facts are, at least one thing he is sure of: Gao Ran obviously didn't want to accept his proposal, but it was difficult to explicitly refuse, so he used the An and Fu families as shields, using this as an excuse to infer that he was "involuntarily". And her reason for "being involuntary" sounds reasonable...... of course, provided that she really has the value to make such a deal with An and Fu!

As for her motive for having to do this -- in order to protect herself, Xue Mingyu believed this! Because this is indeed the case: the fact that the second lady of the Gao family was not treated well and was neglected for a long time was already an open secret that all "people who should know" had long known, but they all tacitly knew to each other! If Gao Ran could really see her own situation clearly, then it would be inevitable and necessary for her to have this kind of thought! -- And in fact, now -- Gao Ran is indeed capable of seeing her true situation -- Xue Mingyu no longer doubts this!

"Heh!" the corners of Xue Mingyu's mouth hooked unconsciously, "This little girl is very clever! I will not and I will not be able to block the threat of the An and Fu families to her on her with my own strength! And now it seems that no matter whether what she said is true or not, I will not act rashly!"

He could see that although Gao Ran was only talking about the stakes involved in his choice on the surface, in fact, she was hinting to him: If he dared to act rashly, the consequences would not only affect him! He not only had to consider whether he could bear it, but he also had to consider that if he really got involved rashly, the Dong family and his own mother clan would probably be affected by him! And could he really afford this price?

At this moment, Xue Mingyu had to admit that Gao Ran's kind of - transferring the interests he was carrying on to him, tying him and himself together in disguise, making the relationship between the two "like enemies but not friends", because of the sudden connection of interests, turned into a relationship of "friend or foe, can only choose one side clearly" - invisibly, he kicked back the problem he originally gave her to him and let him choose, which really bluffed him!

Moreover, because the weight of the chips thrown by Gao Ran is indeed large enough, this makes Xue Mingyu intuitively feel that even if he doesn't have to think about it, he will intuitively feel that it is definitely better to choose to be friends with her than to choose to be her enemy!

At this moment, Xue Mingyu had faintly smelled a hint of danger that Gao Ran unconsciously exuded. And this breath, although not so jealous as to make him jealous, nevertheless caught his attention: she was only ten years old, and she was already able to count this step! If he was an enemy, he would become a great calamity!

So, naturally, there were only two choices in front of Xue Mingyu: Kill and never suffer in the future! If you don't kill, you would rather be a friend than an enemy!
