"Join me for dinner."
What a terribly cliché line.
If said by one man to another, it would be even more dreadful than the previous "Old Gong," sounding almost like an invitation for a date.
However... half an hour later.
Gu Shen was already seated at the dining table.
"Research data shows that the tone of the speaker can have a very important effect on the outcome of the matter."
On the other end of the Spiritual Link.
With a touch of irony, Chu Ling spoke, "Although it's incomprehensible, you were indeed convinced by Gong Zi. Actually... dining with him is not a good choice if you wish to avoid trouble."
"Indeed."
Gu Shen rubbed his temples.
He was not yet clear on the relationships between the five major noble families within Changye City... but what was certain was that news of him dining with the Gong Family's eldest legitimate son would spread throughout Snow Forbidden City before the night was over.
Perhaps, he would thereby attract even more trouble.
