The Fifth Elder believed that Ruan Xueling's severe injuries and the car's loss of control were due to the accident, unaware that Utopia's Smile had intervened at the last minute.
After Gu Zhaoming's family moved to the capital, the Fifth Elder made efforts to make amends. He actively helped Gu Zhaoming reclaim property held by the Elder Council and arranged for his wife and daughter-in-law to assist Ruan Xueling with social connections.
Given Ruan Xueling's background and her acquaintance with Tong Wan, integrating into the capital's high society was not a challenge for her.
Although the Fifth Elder felt guilty about the severe impact on Ruan Xueling and the near disruption of Gu Yang and Gu Jin's College Entrance Examination, he did not regret his actions. He believed that all sacrifices were justified for the sake of the family.
