Ouyang Chengze was momentarily bewildered, then chuckled softly, "Sister Jiang, what a joke you're making. Our Ouyang Family is currently at its prime, trusted and valued by Your Majesty, and hugely respected by the court officials. Why should we be compared to the Gao Family?"
"Though General Gao was famed in the past, times have changed. If our Ouyang Family entangles with them, wouldn't it be like jumping into a cesspool?"
Jiang Yingying's gaze swept over his face several times, unable to detect any guilt.
Only then did she withdraw her gaze, lounging lazily again, "That's for the best, the Gao Family is no good and should be kept at a distance."
She avoided dining with Gao Guang, not only for fear that he might recognize her as the one drinking at the Red Sleeve Tearoom that day but also to minimize contact with the Gao Family.
