Dong Yuanyao hadn't been struck down by her family's decline, and Daohua was very happy for her. Aside from some heavier topics at the beginning, their conversation had been quite lighthearted.
They chatted until midafternoon before rising to leave the tea house.
Daohua followed Dong Yuanyao towards where the Dong Family now lived. As they were about to arrive, Daohua stopped: "Well... I won't be visiting your elders this time."
Hearing this, Dong Yuanyao smiled and nodded in understanding. She didn't take it to heart, knowing Daohua was considering the sensibilities of her family elders. Throughout the months since the Dong Family's fall from grace, whether it be her grandparents or her parents, none of them had really come out of it.
In Zhongzhou, because of the incident with her and Sun Changze, her grandmother had once taken out her anger on Daohua. Now that everyone's social status had been diminished, her grandmother probably felt too embarrassed to meet Daohua.
