Not to mention the forthright Gu Tong, just speaking of the Bai family's eldest daughter, Bai Yingqing, at least, Ding Suzhu had never seen her drink in her impressions.
"On regular days outside, there's no need to touch alcohol, but when the occasion calls for it with true companions, you should indeed drink."
Who says a lady of the house must always be dignified and restrained, and pretend not to like drinking?
Sometimes, drinking and speaking freely is indeed a very carefree and delightful affair.
Ding Suzhu laughed heartily, surprisingly with much reflection, and said, "Miss Bai is completely different from what I imagined. It's truly eye-opening to see her today."
Often, people are such that, without true interaction, you have no idea what kind of person they really are. You can only learn from others' words, which are ultimately unreliable.
Only with genuine understanding can one appreciate that if people are destined, they will always meet and interact.
