Chapter 9 Reasons for Non-Return
When Gu Xinrui returned to the office, colleagues also came one after another, and they greeted Gu Xinrui: "Editor-in-chief is early." ”
"Sister Gu is early. ”
Gu Xinrui smiled and nodded to greet them: "Xiao Li Zao." "Cheng Zizao. At the same time, he tried to suppress the panic in his heart.
Xinrui's magazine belongs to a publishing house, the scale is not large, and it is still in the stage of development and growth, Xinrui's position today, the annual salary is about 100,000, of course, this is her income in the past two years, at the beginning she was just an ordinary editor, the income is far from so much, and her income over the years in addition to maintaining her basic expenses, the rest of the subsidies to her mother's family, she has no savings at all.
As the editor-in-chief, Xinrui has a small office of her own, although the area is small, but she finally has an independent space, which can be regarded as the result of her struggle.
Sitting back at her desk, Xinrui turned on her mobile phone, and in an instant, several text messages flew in.
Immediately, the incoming call of the mobile phone rang.
After looking at the number, Gu Xinrui connected the phone: "Hey, Yuwei?"
"Oh, eldest miss, you're finally turned on! Auntie is about to call the police because she can't find you!" Yang Yuwei's anxious voice came in through the radio waves undisguisedly.
Yang Yuwei is Gu Xinrui's best friend, they are six years of middle school classmates, they were so good that they were glue, these years have passed, the friendship between the two has been very strong, it can be said that there is nothing to talk about, if Gu Xinrui really has grievances in her heart, she will confide in Yang Yuwei, the two are veritable close friends.
Gu Xinrui held the phone away from her ears, sighed, and muttered with a little disgust: "My mother is too, I can't lose it because I'm such a big person, didn't I just go back one night......
"Tell me honestly, where did you go last night? It can't be that you fell in love with your blind date at first sight and then lived in both places, right?" Speaking of this, Yang Yuwei asked matter-of-factly, "Xinrui, you won't just contribute the virgin body that you have kept for many years, right?"
Yang Yuwei knew about Xinrui's blind date with a software engineer, so she asked like this.
Gu Xinrui frowned slightly, and retorted eagerly: "How can it, people don't look down on me at all, as soon as I heard that I still have several younger brothers and sisters in my family, and there are debts, he wilted." ”
"Oh, then why did you go last night? You won't go to the bar to get drunk and go with someone 419, right?" Yang Yuwei guessed heartlessly.
As soon as she heard her talk more and more, Gu Xinrui felt a little impatient, she whispered to Yang Yuwei on the other side of the phone: "Come on, don't talk nonsense here, I'm going to work here, let's find a place to sit down at noon and talk about it in detail." ”
Xinrui and Yang Yuwei's workplace is on the same commercial street, only a few buildings apart, so it is not a problem to meet during the lunch break.
"Okay, then you call your aunt back first, she's really worried about you. Yang Yuwei reluctantly admonished.
"Well, got it. ”
After hanging up Yang Yuwei's phone, Gu Xinrui dialed the phone at home, and her mother's old voice came slowly.
Gu Xinrui patiently explained to her mother the reason why she didn't return at all last night, the excuse she made was that her female friend from college was passing by City A on a business trip, and she went to the hotel to visit her after work in the evening, and the two chatted late, she didn't notice that the phone was out of battery, and at the same time, because the two friends who hadn't seen each other for many years chatted too speculatively, so she forgot to call home back.
Knowing that her daughter was safe and sound, Gu Xinrui's mother Gu Qianzhen breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to nag endlessly, from the rape and mutilation of corpses on Garden Street that caused a sensation in City A last year, to several cases of young women missing this year, the purpose of which is nothing more than to warn and scare her daughter, so that she will not return all night like this.
Listening to her mother's rambling rambling like this, Gu Xinrui looked very helpless, she thought that she had known that her mother had this superb associative ability, and she should have been a novelist in her early years, not a housewife.
Gu Xinrui softly interrupted her mother's nagging and said to her, "Mom, I'm at work, if you have anything to say, let's talk about it when I go home at night." ”
Gu Qianzhen had no choice but to agree and put down the phone.
No matter how old her daughter is, in the eyes of her mother, she will always be a little girl who does not know the world.
