"It's okay, Lin Gongzi can rest assured, I won't say anything about this matter, although I don't understand why you want to protect Miss An Jia so much, but I believe that you must have your reasons. We've only been in contact for a short time, but I trust my instinct that you're someone you can trust. Shangguan Jing said sincerely.

Hearing Shangguan Jing's words, An Ran suddenly felt full of guilt in her heart, deceiving Shangguan Jing was not her intention, but the situation forced her, and she was helpless.

"Shangguan Gongzi, your words are like a daughter to Wuxi. An Ran said.

It is true that she and Shangguan Jing have only met twice, but that feeling can no longer be described as a late meeting, and it feels like a confidant who has been friends for decades.

An Ran felt that Shangguan Jing was a friend who could be trusted.

"Lin Gongzi doesn't need to be so outside. In the future, we will be a cooperative relationship and friends, and we will not talk about business matters for the time being, it is bound to be mutually beneficial and win-win. Other than that, if you need my help with anything else, just ask. Shangguan Jing said boldly.

Hearing his words, An Ran was very moved, she bowed her hands, and said sincerely: "Wuxi is here to thank Lin Gongzi first." ”

The two replaced the wine with tea, toasted each other with a glass, and also established the weight in each other's hearts.

After leaving from the dock, he returned to the courtyard of Qianzhuang, in the study, only Leng Zhen's An Ran and the two of them, after closing the door, Leng Zhen said: "Miss, is it okay to deal with the past like this for today's matter?"

An Ran sat on the chair, she looked at Leng Zhen, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and she asked, "Otherwise, can there be a better way?"

Leng Zhen nodded and continued: "In a short period of time, Shangguan Jing was able to find out that we had a relationship with the An family, which shows that this person's methods are very clever, and the power behind him should not be underestimated. ”

Just on the boat, even the cold shock that has always been through the wind and rain can't help but scare a cold sweat, if you are not careful, it will be a matter of losing your life at any time, fortunately An Ran was calm enough just now.

"Shangguan Jing's ability to open up the road of salt veins shows that the power behind them is very large. And just now from Shangguan Jing's words, we can know that even if we have a relationship with the An family, even if we commit the crime of harboring, he has a way to settle it, which is enough to show Shangguan Jing's power. An Ran said lightly.

When she met someone like Shangguan Jing, she really didn't know if it was her luck or misfortune.

Leng Zhen agreed with An Ran's words, but there was another point, he looked at An Ran and asked: "Miss, Shangguan Jing has given us a step down today, just to tell us the truth, in the final analysis, he just wants us to tell the truth." However, we did not tell him who he was, and if he found out the truth in the future, maybe he would not have the same attitude as he is now. Is it worth the risk?"

Shangguan Jing seems to be a gentleman, gentle and elegant, but in fact, his scheming is very deep, and such a person is even more frightening.

An Ran didn't speak, she naturally knew what Leng Zhen meant, but things had developed to this point, and it was no longer something she could control.

She didn't tell the truth to Shangguan Jing just now, maybe it was her fault, but who can guarantee that if she told Shangguan Jing truthfully, she was An Ran's identity, and Shangguan Jing would still have the same attitude as today? Who can guarantee that he will not betray her?

After going through so many things, An Ran cherishes and reveres life even more, she just wants to live, she just wants to live well, and hopes that one day, she can return to Dasheng with her head held high, return to the An family, and re-enter the An family tree.

"Uncle Leng, can you guarantee that if we told Shangguan Jing the truth, he would still want to have such an attitude today?" An Ran shook his head, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said coldly: "We can't take the slightest risk. ”

Hearing An Ran's words, Leng Zhen nodded, agreed very much, and said: "The eldest lady is right, I'm really ashamed, I don't think as well as the eldest lady at my age." ”

An Ran shook his head and said, "Uncle Leng said that you are laughing, in fact, what you said is very reasonable, and that question is also something we should think about." But for now, it is the best result to let Shangguan Jing misunderstand like this. ”

At the very least, they are one point less dangerous in this way.

"But Miss, how much credibility do you think Shangguan Jing just said?" Leng Zhen asked.

In fact, he didn't believe it, after all, in business, just like officialdom, you have to know how to speak. Shangguan Jing's words are very nice and make people's hearts feel warm, but in this situation, they can't easily trust anyone.

"According to my intuition, Shangguan Jing should be a person who can be trusted, if not a friend, but at least not an enemy. It's just that there is a case in everything, and we have to beware of Shangguan Jing stabbing us in the back. An Ran said.

It's not her villain's heart, it's just that the heart of defense is indispensable at all times, and this truth has been thoroughly understood after she was reborn.

"The eldest lady is right, we should be ready. Leng Zhen replied.

"Either way, let's put this matter aside for now, and we'll act on the opportunity. At present, the most important thing is to do a good job in the salt transportation, and we can only succeed in this matter, not fail. An Ran said, with a resolute look in those wind eyes.

"Don't worry, Miss, I'll take care of it. Leng Zhen reassured her, thinking of one thing, Leng Zhen frowned and asked: "Miss, there are still some difficulties here regarding funds, if I contacted the main mother's side, ...... it."

Before Leng Zhen's words were finished, she was interrupted by An Ran, and she said: "I will solve the matter of funds as scheduled, as for my mother's side, let's not be alarmed first." ”

An Ran is a very strong person, many things, now is not the time to let her mother know, and she is not willing to let them know first.

Secretly sighed, Leng Zhen knew An Ran's personality well, so he had to follow An Ran's meaning and said, "Everything is up to the eldest lady's arrangement." ”

An Ran nodded, and let Leng Zhen go down first to deal with the rest of the things.

In the huge study, only An Ran was left. She rubbed her brow tiredly, her head ached, her breath was a little stuffy, she got up and opened the window, and let the cold wind blow in.

The icy cold wind blew on her face, which cleared her mind a lot and her thoughts became much clearer.

She just stood outside the window, letting the cold wind blow, not feeling cold at all.
