Chapter 136 I’m Afraid You’ll Get Caught in the Wind (Added 4,000 Words)
In fact, Gu Yu really didn’t use the things he had given to Xiuzhu before.
As early as when I was studying abroad, I used the funds allocated to me by my family to invest overseas.
He is smart and has a thorough understanding of finance. He cashed out his assets before returning to China and handed them over to professional overseas professionals for management.
I didn’t mention this before, but this money cannot be withdrawn inland and has no practical use.
After coming to Hong Kong, he went to an overseas bank to withdraw money. After taking a look, he saw that there was already a huge amount of wealth in it.
And that’s just one bank.
It was just a villa, he really didn't care about it, but now seeing Xiuzhu was so angry that her eyes turned red, he didn't dare to tell her about it anymore. He could only wait until she was in a better mood to tell her.
After all, he has more important things to do now!
…
*
The next morning, when Xiuzhu got up, she held her waist and was angry with Gu Yu. She was mainly angry that he spent money to find her, and secondly that he was endless.
Gu Yu coaxed her for a long time before there was any effect, so he used the old method again and took her to the mall to do some shopping.
He couldn't help but sigh that after this trip, his daughter Xiuzhu was even more reluctant to let him spend money.
That's true, but I just can't bear to see him spend money.
Xiuzhu is not partial to one over the other. She has the same requirements for herself and plans to save money before going out, but plans are just plans.
When she got to the mall, she couldn't walk...
"Does this look good on me?" asked the beautiful and delicate girl, wearing a white dress with a brilliant smile on her face.
At this moment, she was standing in front of the mirror, swinging the hem of her skirt.
"It looks good, baby, but your shoulders are a little cold and I'm afraid you'll catch a cold. This one is better, but you can buy both, one to wear at home and one to wear outside." Gu Yu suggested considerately.
The dress she was wearing was nice, but it exposed too much! If he let other cheap men stare at his wife, he would be afraid that he would not be able to control his emotions and would beat the man up in the street.
But this skirt really suits his daughter Xiuzhu. It just shows her delicate collarbone and fair and delicate shoulders. He can show it to her at home so it won't be wasted.
Xiuzhu was just about to say, what's there to be afraid of in Hong Kong's weather? But the one he handed over was also very nice, a light yellow long-sleeved silk cheongsam.
After putting it on, she looked at herself in the mirror and was very satisfied. The effect of wearing it was indeed good on her body, outlining her figure to the fullest.
Xiuzhu also wore pearl earrings and a necklace, and a pair of newly bought white high heels, walking on the street with elegant steps.
Gu Yu felt annoyed when he saw people frequently passing by on the street. He regretted it. This dress was not good either. He had deliberately chosen a skirt with the most fabric, but he didn't expect Xiuzhu to look so figure-flattering in it.
Combined with her increasingly delicate face, she is absolutely beautiful.
He put an arm around the girl's waist, silently asserting his sovereignty.

"Lin Xiuzhu, oh, as soon as your man came, you instantly became a rich lady!" Zhou Cuihua shouted towards the door when she saw her.
When Xiuzhu saw her good sister in distress sitting in the hotel lobby, she trotted over excitedly.
The person behind her was worried and warned, "Walk slowly, she can't run, and with such high heels, what if she falls?"
"Comrade Gu is still as caring to Xiuzhu as ever," Zhou Cuihua praised.
Gu Yu couldn't help but frown. He got a headache when he saw this woman. He had just reunited with his wife, and he had to keep an eye on her tonight.
Zhou Cui was a playboy and did not notice Gu Yu's expression. After greeting him, she looked at Xiuzhu. It was different with a man around. It was only one night, but Lin Xiuzhu looked radiant and so beautiful that she almost suffocated her!
She couldn't help but feel envious. It was good to have a capable man. She started thinking about Mr. Liang again.
"Come on, come upstairs with me. I brought you gifts, and there's one for Yangyang!" Xiuzhu put her arm around Zhou Cuihua's arm, and the two of them started talking while walking.
Gu Yu took a deep breath and followed behind with a gloomy face. His wife had forgotten about him again. As expected, this Zhou Cuihua was his unlucky person.
Fortunately, they will return to the inland in a few days and will not see Zhou Cuihua again in the next few years.
～～～～
Gu Yu once again boarded the ship that traveled between Guangzhou and Hong Kong. His mood was completely different from when he came here. At this moment, he was ordering food with a smile on his face and was in a good mood with everyone.
"Comrade Gu, why are you going back to your room to eat? Why not eat with everyone in the living room?" The person who spoke was no longer reserved when he saw that he was much more approachable than when he came.
He really admired Comrade Gu's ability. The mission was successfully completed thanks to the presence of Comrade Gu, who saved him from being cheated by those foreigners.
Gu Yu politely declined, "Thank you for your invitation, but I'm really sorry. I'm used to eating in my room. When we get to Guangcheng, I'll invite you to the state-owned restaurant for dinner."
"Okay, okay."
Gu Yu nodded goodbye and went back to his room.
When Xiuzhu heard the door open, she poked her head out stealthily and whispered, "You're finally back. Let me have a taste of the food on the boat."
"Don't worry, I've prepared a lot. Let me see which dishes you like. I'll prepare more for you in the evening. You must be bored. We will arrive in Guangcheng the day after tomorrow." Gu Yu looked at her with some apology in his eyes.
The number of people going on the boat is fixed. The same number of people as when they came is the same number of people going back. It cannot be more or less. And there are only that few people in total, and they are all familiar faces.
He put Xiuzhu in a box and brought her on board secretly. She couldn't show up for the next few days, otherwise she would be in trouble if someone saw her.
"Fortunately, I only feel slightly seasick this time, but it's much better than when I came here." She had no objection to this, as safety was more important.
Gu Yu felt distressed when he heard this. She was nervous when she came, so her reaction was naturally much greater. Now that he was here, her pain would be minimized.
Xiuzhu only took a few bites to try it out. She was not hungry because she had just eaten Fengsha chicken.
She bought a lot of good things from Hong Kong this time, including clothes and daily necessities, all purchased in large quantities, enough for her to use for 1 or 2 years. She will share some with her mother-in-law, Gu Tong, and mother when she returns.
We brought a lot of delicious food. Except for pineapple buns and egg waffles that could be stored, the rest were bought to eat on the boat.
After eating, she felt a little dizzy, so she went to bed to rest.
Gu Yu came to the bedside, rubbed the Tiger Balm in his hand on her temple, and gently placed it under Xiuzhu's nose.
Xiuzhu smelled this familiar scent, it was just the wind oil, but it felt cool and really relieved a lot of discomfort.
She asked curiously, "When was it bought? How come I don't know? Aren't we always together?"
"I had to go out for a while due to work," Gu Yu explained.
Since the two of them met again, they have been inseparable. Unless Gu Yu is busy with work and puts her in a hotel room, he will specially hire two gang thugs to guard outside the door.
Having almost lost her once, Gu Yu would not allow himself to make the same mistake again. In the future, even if he was not around, he would send someone he could trust to help protect her secretly.

Zhou Cuihua brought Yangyang to live in a beautiful villa, and Grandma Tian and her family also moved in.
When Zhou Cuihua goes out to school or work, the Tian family will help take care of the children. The old couple of the Tian family are old, and they rely on Zhou Cuihua for running errands.
This newly formed big family gets along well with each other. They are all kind-hearted people and take care of each other in their daily lives.
Now, Zhou Cuihua has quit her job as a maid, enrolled in an English class, and is learning some basic knowledge. Grandma Tian and her family are responsible for cooking and helping Gu Yu look after the villa.
Originally, Gu Yu planned to buy two houses for them, but Brother Zhou Cuihua and Grandma Tian refused to accept any of them and even refused even when money was offered.
Knowing that they are all sincere and kind people who do not ask for anything in return, Gu Yu is truly grateful for their help to Xiuzhu.
So he simply bought a villa and registered it under Xiuzhu's name. He hired Zhou Cuihua and Tian Jia to help look after the house and clean it, and their wages were based on market prices.
Gu Yu simply paid the two families 20 years' salary in one go, and also left some emergency funds for them to use at any time in case of emergency.
Zhou Cuihua and Grandma Tian then reluctantly agreed.
In fact, when Zhou Cuihua heard that Gu Yu wanted to give her a house, she was very moved, but she didn't know what was wrong with her at the time and actually refused.
After she returned, she began to regret her decision. While crying, she tried hard to brainwash herself, telling herself that her friendship with Xiuzhu was priceless and could not be destroyed by money.
But she still felt upset and didn't eat for two whole meals.
Fortunately, Gu Yu is a sincere person and he didn't give up easily.
Xiuzhu felt that people cannot be without culture, so she asked Gu Yu to enroll Zhou Cuihua in a basic class suitable for her and paid the money in advance. This way, even if Zhou Cuihua was tired of studying, she would go on time every day because she had spent the money.
Xiuzhu is well aware of her character.
Gu Yu settled all the people who had done her favors, and took her out to have fun for a few days. Just as the matter in Xiangjiang was settled, she followed the large group on a boat back to their hometown.
In fact, staying in Hong Kong can provide Xiuzhu with a better living environment, and he can also find a way to properly arrange for his family in China.
In addition, the domestic environment is not good. If it were before, he might really have stayed with Xiuzhu.
But now he has other ideas. He wants to continue in politics and reach a higher position.
I don't want to fall into the same predicament again when I learned that Xiuzhu was kidnapped and couldn't leave the country and come to Hong Kong.
Like a bird trapped in a cage, with no freedom at all, he wanted to be the one to open the door.
～～～～
Everything went smoothly along the way. Gu Yu took Xiuzhu off the boat. They went to the front desk of the guesthouse to pick up their stored luggage and then went straight back to Yutian County.
As for Qin Huai, Gu Yu did not plan to go over to greet him. He was not blaming him for his actions at that time. In fact, he should thank Qin Huai for knocking him out.
Otherwise, given his uncalm state at the time, he would have forced his way into the waters of the Hong Kong River, and the consequences would have been disastrous.
He didn't go to the Qin family mainly because he didn't want to mention Yangyang's matter. He sincerely felt that the current result was pretty good.
This is the best outcome for Qin Huai.
As for the child Yangyang, Gu Yu did not vent his anger on him because of Su Yu. He and Zhou Cuihua moved into the villa and lived a very good life, with food, drink and someone to take care of them.
Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt has its creditor. Gu Yu will definitely make Su Yu pay back double the debt she owes.
She has tasted the bitter fruit now. She had always wanted to strive for a high position, so he would make sure that she would never have the chance to move up in her life.
Not only that, it could be much worse.
The reason why Su Yu was not arrested immediately was because she was a foreigner. Given the current situation, Country H had no right to detain her. Even if she was injured in the mainland, it could intensify the conflict.
Therefore, even if Gu Yu reported it to the relevant departments, it would be useless and he would be released on the grounds of no evidence or insufficient evidence.
No matter how sufficient the evidence you submit is, it is useless. No one in the international community will reason with you. If you lag behind, you will be beaten.
However, even though the overt means cannot deal with her, there are still ways behind the scenes!
～～～～
Su Yu was detained and no longer had any personal freedom. The organization suspected that she was a double agent and would not listen to any explanation from her.
After only three days of interrogation, Old Wu was shot. The authorities were unwilling to waste time on someone of little value.
Her nationality saved her life, but it also meant she was left with a crippled dog. Being locked up here, no matter whether she will be released in the future, her future is ruined.
The higher-ups will not allow people with questionable identities to carry out important tasks.
This move was truly heart-breaking. Su Yu had not expected that Gu Yu's hand could reach so far.
First, she spread rumors that Su Yu was a double agent and that she chose to betray the organization because of Qin Huai, so she actively accepted this mission. However, she failed repeatedly because all of this was designed by her.
He also said that those who participated in the mission were silenced by Old Wu.
At that time, she immediately reported it to her superiors, saying that this was a counter-espionage plot and retaliation against her.
At first, the superiors did not believe the rumors. The group of people vowed, "Su Yu, don't worry, we will give you a clear name. This kind of petty trick will not destroy our trust in you."
With the assurance from her leader, she felt relieved and thought the matter had come to an end.
But once the seeds of doubt are planted, it won't end so easily.
They secretly conducted an investigation, and what they found was Zhao Yiming's body. The fatal knife wound on his body was very obvious, and the weapon was easy to identify. It was a special knife issued to lower-level agents.
And that knife did come from Old Wu, but no one was willing to listen to his explanation of the specific reason.
Neither of them could defend themselves. Old Wu turned pale that day and said that he did not use the knife to kill Zhao Yiming because he had given the knife away long ago and it was not in his hand at all.
It was said that someone later deliberately stabbed Zhao Yiming's body in order to frame them.
But how could anyone be willing to believe such an excuse? Moreover, the competition in the organization is fierce, and opponents will take the opportunity to add insult to injury. Old Wu did not have foreign citizenship, so he was dealt with that night.
For people like Lao Wu, they would rather kill someone by mistake than let anyone go.
After being locked up, Su Yu repeatedly thought about the results of the investigation in his mind.
Finally, she figured out the truth of the whole matter.
It was half a month after she returned that the organization sent people to start investigating.
But why was Zhao Yiming's body still there after half a month? And it is still well preserved, plus what Old Wu said before he died.
The answer was already obvious. Gu Yu had already started planning. He preserved Zhao Yiming's body and then used Zhao Yiming's own knife to cut another wound.
With Gu Yu's technique, he can do it without leaving any trace.
The next step is to use his connections to spread rumors.
Step by step, with meticulous technique.
Su Yu looked down at the handcuffs on her hands, thinking that she would be locked up here for the rest of her life, not knowing when she would be able to get out, and she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Mom, I miss you so much." As soon as Xiuzhu arrived in the yard, she ran in and hugged her mother whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
Ye Yunrong missed her daughter so much that she hugged Xiuzhu tightly and refused to let go. The mother and daughter chatted for a long time at the door.
Seeing that the two had no intention of stopping, Gu Yu couldn't help but interrupt, "Mom, where's my dad? Isn't he home?"
"Yes, where is Dad?" Xiuzhu asked. Then she remembered that it was already evening and her old father had not returned home yet.
"Your father has gone out on a mission." Ye Yunrong cast a meaningful look at Gu Yu. She felt helpless when she thought of the scene where her husband had scolded Gu Yu at home before he left.
But it is understandable. After all, the two children had agreed to go to Guangcheng for a week, but they ended up being away for nearly two months.
Gu Yu called back and said that something happened with his father and he took Xiuzhu with him temporarily. He also said that the letter of introduction had already been processed and asked them not to worry, then he helped hang up the phone.
She and her husband didn't even have the chance to say a word to Xiuzhu. It would be strange if Comrade Lin in her family didn't go crazy.
She still remembered that Lao Lin cursed her quite vulgarly at that time!
Gu Yu breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that his father-in-law was not at home. He had escaped a disaster.
He lied at the beginning and didn't tell them that Xiuzhu was in trouble, for fear that they would become anxious. As for how long he could keep it a secret, he didn't have the mind to think about it at that time.
Fortunately, he is back safely with Xiuzhu now.
*
At night, Gu Yu tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Without his daughter Xiuzhu, he suffered from insomnia.
His young wife was abducted by his mother-in-law, and she would not be sent back until his father-in-law came back.
He was in the wrong to begin with and didn't dare to complain, so he just endured it for a few nights! Anyway, he and Xiuzhu will be able to enjoy their own world in a few days.
Yutian County is remote, and he would not stay here with Xiuzhu. He had originally planned to go to Harbin, and now he was even more impatient.
Leave next week. After all, he can't learn to sleep alone.
*
In the next bedroom, Xiuzhu lay on the bed, nestled in her mother's arms, and told her about going to Harbin.
Gu Yu told her about his plan to go to Harbin on the boat. She was willing to do so in her heart. Yutian County was boring and she didn't want to waste her time there.
But, I really miss her parents.
"Xiuzhu, don't worry. Mom doesn't want you to stay in this remote place. I feel relieved that Gu Yu is here." Ye Yunrong gently stroked her daughter's hair.
"But I don't have any common sense. When Gu Yu goes there, he will start working and will be busy. He won't be able to take care of me all the time. I won't be used to it without my mother around," Xiuzhu said with a hint of uneasiness in her tone.
Although her mother agreed with their decision, she still felt sad. She had never left her mother since she was a child. Although she was full of expectations for the unknown life, she was also a little confused.
As for the previous trip to Hong Kong, it was an accident and not part of the plan.
"Xiuzhu, although mommy is reluctant to let you go, you have indeed grown up and you need to adapt to life as an adult. Compared with other girls, you are already very lucky. You have all the love from your father and me, and a caring husband like Gu Yu, so you don't have to worry about money or do those heavy and tedious housework.
"But mom still hopes that you can train and have the courage and ability to stand on your own." Ye Yun looked down at his daughter's face and said earnestly.
Xiuzhu thought, your daughter has been training for 2 months and has earned a total of 600 Hong Kong dollars, but she can't tell her mother about what happened in Hong Kong because she doesn't want her mother to worry about it.
The trip to Hong Kong did help her grow a lot. She earned her first pot of gold with her own ability and even had a big villa under her name.
Although I can't live there..., just thinking about it makes me feel satisfied.
The only regret is that my aunt was not found, but Gu Yu helped to put an advertisement in the newspaper. If my aunt saw the newspaper, she would probably go to the villa to find Zhou Cuihua and the others and get news about herself and her parents from them.
"Okay, I'll go to Harbin then. Don't cry because of what I think." Xiuzhu pouted and acted coquettishly with her mother.
Ye Yunrong pinched her daughter's nose and said in a feigned vicious tone, "Don't worry, I'm so happy that you, the little troublemaker, are gone."
Xiuzhu wanted to sit up after hearing this, "Humph, then I'll go back to sleep with Gu Yu."
"Okay, come back quickly. The weather is cold now. Be careful not to catch a cold. Mom misses you and cries every day. Okay?" Ye Yunrong coaxed her daughter helplessly.
Xiuzhu was satisfied with what she heard, and she murmured again: "That's good enough. Mommy has to think about me, but she can't think about me too sadly. You decide the limit."
Seeing her daughter's cute and adorable appearance, Ye Yunrong began to feel reluctant to leave. She hugged her daughter, and the mother and daughter chatted until almost midnight before they slowly fell asleep.
The consequence of going to bed late is that both mother and daughter don’t get up in the morning. There is no need to say much about Xiuzhu, as staying in bed is her normal state.
But when Ye Yunrong opened her eyes, she saw that it was already nine o'clock in the morning, which scared her.
After a quick wash, she planned to make breakfast, but when she came to the kitchen, she saw the food on the table. There was no one else at home, so who else could have cooked it except her son-in-law.
She was making breakfast as soon as she got back. The key point was that she, as an elder, was a little unreliable. She and her daughter hadn't gotten up yet. When she saw Gu Yu coming out of the house, she looked a little embarrassed. "Gu Yu, thank you for your hard work. It's all my fault that I stayed up too late chatting with Xiuzhu last night."
"Mom, don't be polite with me. We can't stay at home for a few more days. I will make breakfast in the next few days. Other housework can also be left to me. Let me fulfill my filial duty." Gu Yu said gently.
He has to behave better. His mother-in-law will definitely have no objection to him and Xiuzhu going to Harbin, but there is still his father-in-law!
I just sent my daughter back home, and now they want to kidnap her again, and they want to kidnap her for a long time...
He is a little afraid of his father-in-law's anger, and when the time comes it will all depend on his wife and mother-in-law to take care of him!
I hope you don’t do it, and if you do, I hope you don’t get slapped in the face…
