Chapter 152: Dusty Background
Gate of City A Prisonβββ
Gu Wei was wearing a black suit, and even the color of his tie was black, as if he was deliberately catering to this gloomy prison background.
He opened the household registration book that he had been holding tightly in his hand, the paper was old, and it was obviously set aside for a long time.
The name of the head of the household on the page reads Gu Xuhong.
Turning two more pages, Gu Wei's name appeared on it, and in the relationship column it said "eldest son".
As if he couldn't bear to touch it, Gu Wei closed the household registration book as if he were deceiving himself, and stuffed it back into his pocket.
Just as he was about to go inside, the cell phone in his other pocket rang without warning.
The caller ID is "brother".
Since the last incident between him and Si Fang, his nominal brother, who is Si Fang's father, has never called him again.
Gu Wei sorted out his emotions and connected the phone.
"Hey, brother." He called him, but he didn't know what to say next.
"Today is the day of the prison visit." A deep voice came from the phone's receiver.
Gu Wei pondered for a long time, and finally said: "I know, you call me every year, how could I forget?" β
"Gu Wei....." he paused and said, "He is still your father after all, let's go see him this year." β
"It's been fourteen years, so let's take a look this year."
Gu Wei listened to his earnest words, looked up at the prison gate in front of him, and was silent.
It had been fourteen years since his world had turned black.
At that time, he was only a thirteen-year-old child, but he experienced the destruction of his family and homelessness.
Perhaps it is because of this experience that he will appear to be much more mature than children of the same age from the beginning, and will be so rational and not good at expressing feelings.
At the most sensitive age, what Gu Wei experienced was the bankruptcy of the family business, the imprisonment of his father, and...
The afternoon when my mother hanged herself on the balcony.
It was the most secret part of his past that he wanted to hide, and even Si Fang didn't know about it.
That's why he didn't come to visit this "culprit" in his mind for so long. β
Maybe he was silent for too long, and the person on the other side of the phone finally asked, "Gu Wei, are you still listening?" β
"Brother, I'm listening." Gu Wei twisted his frowning brows, sighed lightly, and said, "I'm here now." β
"Arrived? Prison? The voice on the phone was slightly stunned.
Gu Wei changed his hand to hold the mobile phone, staggered to let the person behind him go in first, and said, "Well, I'm here." β
Si Fang's father said a few "good" words in a trembling voice, and then said, "Then you go in first, and I won't bother you." β
Gu Wei answered, but neither of them hung up the phone.
"Also, let's go home for a meal in a few days, Mom always clamored to see you."
This time, Gu Wei was shocked, "Sister-in-law, are you okay?" β
A faint sigh came from the phone, "You should already know about Si Fang's amnesia, so it's okay, as long as you don't let Si Fang think about it again, your sister-in-law won't say anything more." β
Gu Wei knew it in his heart, but he was a little more unwilling and bitter.
He didn't want the past to end up being the only one to remember.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Si Fang's father asked, "Don't you want to?" β
"Nope." Gu Wei forcibly suppressed the bitterness in his heart, thinking about the long future, so he replied, "What's fine, I'll listen to my brother and sister-in-law's arrangement." β
