บท 729: Amiable Fifth Elder

The true reason behind the former family heir's return after two decades was not easy to voice. Revenge simmered beneath the surface, though one dared not utter it aloud.

Yet, there he stood, the young man who had impulsively left home, now repentant and seemingly dedicated to fulfilling his late grandfather's wish of rejuvenating the family. Such a display of responsibility was commendable.

Gu Yang and the others observed Gu Zhaoming's performance in silence, struggling to contain their amusement at his straight-faced delivery of utter nonsense.

However, the Fifth Elder was deeply moved, his eyes brimming with tears. "It's never too late! I've always said that as long as you choose to return, I'll stand by you!"

"Touched that you still harbor the desire to restore our family's glory even after achieving success in your own right. What happened in the past was not your fault. I've always had faith in you," the Fifth Elder assured him.
