Chapter 903 [Please give me more advice for the rest of my life 22]
Gu Wei slowly picked up the phone on the table, unlocked the screen, and skillfully opened the WeChat application. His eyes naturally fell on the chat interface with Youyou, and his fingers gently slid through the past chat records between them.
Gu Wei stared at the screen in deep thought for a moment, then quickly typed a line of words in the input box with his fingertips: "Are you not coming back?" However, just before he was about to click the send button, he hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to delete the words one by one. Because he knew very well that he did not have enough sufficient reasons to ask Youyou to stay.
Thinking of this, Gu Wei couldn't help but sighed helplessly. Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind - why not take a leave and go to Germany to find Youyou in person! But then another problem came up. He didn't know where Youyou was in Germany. In such a huge country, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack to find someone.
At this time, a name emerged in Gu Wei's mind - Gao Xi. That's right, if someone knew where Youyou was in Germany, that person would most likely be Gao Xi. But when he thought of the current awkward relationship between him and Gao Xi, the fire of hope that Gu Wei had just ignited dimmed again in an instant. When Gao Xi mustered up the courage to confess to him, he rejected her without hesitation. Now he was going to ask about her bestie, and Gao Xi was estimated not only not to tell the truth, but might even create some trouble for him.
After get off work, Gu Wei drove back to the old house with a heavy heart. When he walked into the house and saw his mother busy in the living room, he thought to himself: Maybe I can find a breakthrough from my mother. The Gu family and Gao Xi's family are good families for generations, and his mother and Gao Xi's mother have a very close relationship on weekdays. As long as he can persuade his mother to help inquire, maybe he can get clues about Youyou's whereabouts.
The night enveloped the entire city, and the lights were on. In the spacious and warm living room of the Gu family, Mother Gu and Father Gu were sitting on the sofa watching TV, when they suddenly heard a familiar sound of footsteps coming from the door. They turned their heads at the same time, and saw Gu Wei walking in with a tired face.
When Mother Gu saw her son coming back, she was stunned for a moment, then exchanged a look with Father Gu. Then, she raised a mocking smile and said in a sarcastic tone, "Hey, look who's here? I thought you had forgotten about this family a long time ago! Didn't you swear that you would never come back to this family again?"
Father Gu also echoed, "That's right, didn't you move out to live on your own? Why did you suddenly come back today? Did you lose your job out there and have no money to spend? Or did you run into some unsolvable problem?"
Facing his parents' sarcasm, Gu Wei took a deep breath and tried to keep himself calm. He slowly said, "Mom and Dad, I actually came back this time because I want to ask you for help."
Upon hearing this, Mother Gu sneered, crossed her arms, and said disdainfully, "Humph, I knew you had bad intentions! You usually don't care about our family, but now you think of us when something happens. Okay, then tell me, what is it that would bother a busy person like you to come here in person?"
Gu Wei looked at his mother helplessly, frowned and said, "Mom, can you please stop talking like that? Can't we just communicate properly? And Dad, can you also persuade Mom to be more normal?"
However, Father Gu just shrugged his shoulders and said he could do nothing to help: "At home, your mother has always had the final say. How dare I say anything?"
"Mom and Dad, haven't you always wanted a daughter-in-law?" Gu Wei said to his parents with a smile and a relaxed tone.
Hearing this, Mother Gu, who was originally sitting on the sofa, immediately perked up. A happy smile instantly broke out on her face. She couldn't wait to ask, "Oh, so you have a girlfriend? Tell mom quickly, who is she?" At the same time, Father Gu on the side also put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at Gu Wei with interest and a bit of gossip.
Facing his parents' eager and curious gazes, Gu Wei seemed a little embarrassed, but he still pretended to be calm and replied: "Not yet, but... it should be soon."
When Mother Gu heard this, her eyes widened even more, and she hurriedly asked, "Who is it? Do I know him?"
Gu Wei hesitated for a moment, then said softly, "He is a colleague in our hospital."
"She works in the same hospital as you, and is she a colleague? Could it be that girl named Gao Xi? But didn't you dislike her in the past?" Mother Gu frowned and guessed in confusion.
Gu Wei quickly shook his head to deny, "It's not Gao Xi, Mom. It's a doctor our hospital just hired from abroad some time ago."
At this time, Father Gu, who had been listening quietly beside him, suddenly interrupted and said, "Are you talking about Mr. Xia's granddaughter Xia Youyou?"
Gu Wei looked at his father in surprise and blurted out: "Dad, how do you know her?"
"So it's that child." Mother Gu nodded slightly, a look of realization appeared on her face, and she spoke softly.
"Mom, you know her too?" Gu Wei looked at his mother in surprise and asked puzzledly.
Mother Gu smiled slightly, a flash of reminiscence flashed in her eyes, and she slowly said, "Actually, you also saw her when you were a child. Back then, you were only about four years old, innocent and carefree. One time, you happened to see that little girl, and you liked her very much. Not only did you kiss her, you also said in a baby voice that you wanted her to be your child bride in the future!"
Hearing this, Gu Wei's eyes widened, and he shook his head in disbelief and said, "This... How is this possible? Why don't I have any memory of this at all?"
Mother Gu patted his shoulder gently and explained softly: "Silly child, you were so young at that time, it's normal that you can't remember. Time flies so fast, so many years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Gu Wei nodded thoughtfully, and after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Mom and Dad, do you know where Youyou lives now? I really want to see her again."
At this time, Father Gu, who had been sitting by the side and silently listening to the conversation between the mother and son, took over the conversation and said, "Son, do you remember the house on the far west side of our side? It's the old house of the Xia family. That house has been vacant for many years. Old Master Xia used to live there. When you were a child, you loved running there and playing in the house all day long. It's a pity that Old Master Xia went to Germany for treatment due to poor health and never came back."
"Then Dad, do you know where Grandpa Xia went in Germany?" Gu Wei asked his father with a puzzled look on his face.
Father Gu shook his head and said slowly: "Well, Dad really doesn't know."
After hearing this, Gu Wei pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said to his parents firmly: "Mom and Dad, I plan to go to Germany in person to find Grandpa Xia."
When Mother Gu heard this, she couldn't help but look worried, and asked quickly, "How can you find it if you go there rashly without knowing the place?"
However, Gu Wei did not back down, and replied with a firm look: "I don't know if I can find it successfully, but the worst that can happen is that I can just take a few more days off. Anyway, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will try my best. By spending more time and energy, I will eventually be able to find some clues." After saying this, his eyes flashed with persistence and determination.
