"Zhaoming, you can't be blamed for what happened back then. I'll make sure to address the situation with what's happening online," Gu Hongwei said after dealing with Gu Zhao'an and Gu Zhaoye. He then turned to comfort Gu Zhaoming.
Gu Zhaoming looked deeply touched. "Thank you, Dad."
Gu Hongwei nodded and brought up the Tong family once more, speaking earnestly. "If you can resolve the Tong family issue privately, do your best. It's important to get those trending topics removed."
"Zhaoming, I understand that you value family ties, but in aristocratic families, we must also leave room for compromise. We can't be driven by revenge constantly."
At eighty, with his health declining, Gu Hongwei wasn't sure how long he had left. He hoped Gu Zhaoming would step up to carry the family's weight.
Gu Zhaoming had a different perspective.
