At two o'clock in the afternoon on Friday, Li Jie and Guan Ju'er took leave and drove back to Xinwu, Guan Ju'er's hometown.
In the All Very Good dungeon, although Li Jie is located in Gusu next to Xinwu, he has never been to Xinwu a few times. The feeling given to Li Jie by the two cities is that Gusu has a more ancient feel, while Xinwu's
The modern atmosphere is more intense.
The straight-line distance between Xinwu and the Magic City is only over 100 kilometers. After a two-hour drive and boarding the Beijing-Shanghai Expressway via the Jiamin Elevated Highway, Guan Ju'er called her mother's phone number.
Toot! Toot!
"Hey, Guan Guan, why are you calling me at this time? Aren't you usually at work at this time?"
Guan Juer glanced at Li Jie, and Li Jie gave her an encouraging look.
"Hey, Guan Guan, talk, hey..."
"Mom~"
Before Guan Ju'er could continue speaking, Guan's mother interrupted her.
"You kid, you called me and didn't say anything for a long time. You scared your mother to death. Do you know that?"
"Mom, I'm sorry."
"It's okay. Don't do this next time. By the way, why are you calling me at this time?"
"I'm on my way back now."
"What?"
Guan's mother knows Guan Ju'er's temperament. If nothing happens, her daughter will never ask for leave to go home. She and her father saw that she was working too hard and persuaded her to come back. The house, car, and work at home were all prepared for her, but
My daughter just doesn't agree and wants to work hard outside.
Today, my daughter suddenly told me that she was going home on leave. Mother Guan was shocked and said quickly.
"Guan Guan, nothing happened to you?"
Hearing the anxious mood in her mother's words, Guan Ju'er immediately comforted her.
"Mom, it's okay, it's okay, I just miss you."
"Really, don't lie to mom? Isn't it because you were bullied?"
Guan's mother knew her daughter too well, but she still didn't believe it in her tone.
"Oh, Mom, really, everything I said is true!"
"real?"
"real!"
"Okay, okay, okay, mom believes it, what time will you get home? Later, mom will go to the vegetable market after get off work to buy you some of your favorite vegetables."
Guan Juer glanced at the remaining time displayed on the car navigation system and replied: "I'll be home at about five o'clock."
"Okay, well then, mom has something to do here, so I'll hang up now. If anything happens, we'll talk about it when we get home!"
"Well, goodbye mom."
On the other side of the radio wave, at the Xinwu Branch of the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Guan’s mother muttered after hanging up the phone.
"There must be something wrong with this girl!"
'Oh, don't be wronged. I said at the beginning that it would be great for a girl to live with her parents, but if she has to stay alone in a magical city, what's so good about that place.'
'Humph! It's all the child's father's fault! Guan Guan Daxiao listens to me the most. If he hadn't secretly supported it, would the child have been able to stay outside alone?'
'No, I need to call the child's father!'
Guan's mother was quite resolute and immediately called Guan Guan's father Guan Xihe.
Toot! Toot!
"Hey, wife, what's wrong?"
"The girl just called and said she is on her way back."
"What?"
Guan Xihe was also surprised when he received the news that his daughter had suddenly returned home.
"Laoguan, do you think this girl has been wronged outside?"
Guan Xihe frowned and said uncertainly.
"It's possible. Otherwise, given the girl's temperament, why would she not call in advance and come back without making a sound?"
Guan Xihe immediately thought that saying this would make his wife even more worried, so he quickly comforted her.
"Honey, I advise you not to think too much. This girl is not coming back now. When she gets home, you can ask her questions and she will kiss you since she was a child."
Mother Guan smiled slightly and said disapprovingly.
"Bah, now that the girl has kissed you, if you, an old fox, hadn't secretly supported her, could the girl have put aside the good conditions at home and stayed outside to endure hardships by herself?"
"Let me tell you, if my daughter comes back because she has been wronged, you must stand with me and persuade her to come back!"
Guan Xihe chuckled and said: "Okay! Okay! Okay! I will definitely stand on the same front as my wife!"
"Screw you, stop talking. My daughter will be home at five o'clock. I have to take a day off to buy groceries. Lao Guan, you should come back from get off work early in the evening."
"Well, I understand. You can go ahead. I'll push it away at the meeting tonight. Let's start again tomorrow!"
"Okay, that's pretty much it, hang up, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
Mother Guan is a capable and well-rounded person. She has worked in a bank for decades, and her husband works in Xinwu Xintou. She has all the qualifications, abilities, and achievements. Taking a half-day off is nothing at all. She just found an excuse.
Just left.
Five o'clock in the afternoon, outside Mingfeng Garden.
Li Jie and Guan Ju'er actually arrived at 4:30, but Guan Ju'er was uneasy and didn't know what her parents' attitude was towards her current relationship. The two of them sat in the car for a while, looking at the time, and finally turned around.
I reluctantly got out of the car and said before leaving.
"Don't worry, I'll come find you tomorrow morning."
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Li Jie shook his head with a smile, and then told her: "You go back and talk to your parents carefully later. Even if they don't agree with you for the time being, don't argue with them, you know?"
?”
Guan Juer nodded: "Yes, I understand!"
After getting out of the car, Guan Ju'er motioned to Li Jie to drive ahead. She didn't enter the community on foot until the car disappeared from her sight.
The moment before stepping into the house, Guan Ju'er took a few deep breaths, adjusted her emotions, and then took out the key and opened the door.
Click!
When Guan's mother heard the noise coming from the door, she ran out wearing an apron and holding a spatula. She walked up to Guan Ju'er and looked up and down carefully.
Her mother's long and scrutinizing gaze made Guan Ju'er feel a little uncomfortable and she said softly.
"Oh, Mom, what are you doing?"
Guan's mother took her daughter's hand and said pleasantly.
"Guan Guan, tell mom, did something happen to you?"
Guan Ju'er shook her head. She just couldn't speak out right now when she got home, and she wanted to wait until her parents were present to speak together.
"Mom, didn't I just say that on the phone? It's okay!"
While talking, Guan Ju'er smelled a burnt smell with her nose, and quickly changed the subject in order to prevent her mother from asking further questions.
"Mom, is the food burnt?"
"oops!"
Guan's mother exclaimed, not even bothering to question her daughter, and hurried towards the kitchen.
Guan Ju'er smiled secretly when he saw this, and then put the luggage he brought back into his room. After putting away his things, Guan Ju'er didn't rush out. Instead, he stayed in the room and exuded authority with Li Jie until he heard his father's voice.
