Chapter 152 Never Say Sorry
When thinking of Hong Kong, one can't help but think of the luxurious life there and her big villas.
I looked at the house I was living in now, and the ground under my feet was all dirt...
Xiuzhu felt a sense of disappointment in her heart. She lost the mood to eat the noodles. "I'll give it to you. I'm full."
After saying that, she returned to the room in silence, then lay on the kang, feeling sad and upset alone.
Gu Yu was confused. What was going on? Wasn’t he enjoying his meal just now? Why did he feel wronged now?
He ate the noodles Xiuzhu had left in a few bites and walked into the house to ask,
"My dear, what's wrong? Tell me."
"I don't know. I just feel bad."
She would not tell the reason. After all, she couldn't bear to leave her parents and would not leave for Hong Kong.
It's just very confusing and I can't control my emotions.
Gu Yu frowned. Seeing that she was unhappy, he became nervous and continued to ask softly, "What's wrong?"
Xiuzhu really felt uncomfortable, especially her stomach ached. "My stomach aches. Maybe my period is coming."
She seemed to know why she was suddenly acting irrationally and had such big mood swings...
"Aunt? Isn't your aunt in Hong Kong? She won't come. If you have a stomachache, I'll take you to the hospital." Gu Yu didn't care how contradictory her words were. He stood up to take the cotton jacket on the hanger and was about to help her put it on.
Xiuzhu: ...
Forget that there is a generation gap of nearly eighty years between the two.
She explained in a low voice: "I'm having my period. Oh, you can just take out the menstrual pad from the black bag for me, and make me a cup of ginger and brown sugar soup. Why go to the hospital? I'll be laughed at to death."
Gu Yu hurriedly did as he was told.
…
Xiuzhu became unhappy again. The toilet was outside, which meant she had to go out of the house. It was very cold outside, and it was even colder to change her menstrual belt.
After she changed, she returned to the house with a sour face.
Gu Yu came to the kang with brown sugar water and said considerately: "My dear, you don't have to go to the ground. I will feed you. Before I go to work, I will help you put food and daily necessities on the kang, so you don't have to go to the ground when you want to eat."
Xiuzhu looked up at him, and seeing the cautious look in his eyes as he looked at her, the depressed mood in her heart instantly disappeared. This man gave her meticulous care, so what was there to be depressed about?
"You drank half of it too. You haven't even had lunch. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lost my temper suddenly. You still have to go to work in the afternoon. What if you're hungry?" Xiuzhu felt very guilty and felt sorry for him.
He has not been idle since he got off work at noon, and has always focused on her.
Gu Yu looked at this woman who touched his heart with deep affection. His eyes were gentle and passionate, and he just stared at her for a long time.
His voice was even softer than usual, "Xiuzhu, please never say sorry to me. Everything I did for you was done willingly and happily."
"Don't think too much. You're just not feeling well. Come, drink the soup. It's not that hot anymore."
Xiuzhu's heart was disturbed by his confession. She couldn't wait to respond to him. Looking at the brown sugar water in the bowl, her eyes flickered. She lowered her head and drank it in small sips, then raised her head to feed the man beside her...
Gu Yu's throat rolled and he tried his best to restrain himself. Under Xiuzhu's guidance, he unlocked a new way of playing.
…
In the end, the bowl of brown sugar water was drunk by both of them.

When Gu Yu arrived at the office in the afternoon, his face still looked cheerful and he seemed to have endless energy.
Instead of going back to his office, he knocked on Director Jin's door next door.
"Come in."
Director Jin is in his forties and has been the director of the Harbin Public Security Bureau for nearly 10 years. When he saw that the person who came in was Gu Yu, who had just arrived today, he said in a gentle manner, "What's wrong, Gu Yu? What's the matter?"
"Director Jin, I'm sorry to bother you. I would like to take a look at the cases in the past year and understand the situation in our bureau. Don't be polite with me. Feel free to ask me for help if you have any problem. Now that I'm here, I will be a member of our Harbin Public Security Bureau. Let's make progress together." Gu Yu had a smile on his face. He looked like he was very motivated and easy to talk to.
Director Jin smiled kindly and said, "Okay, Xiao Gu, you are ambitious. I am optimistic about you. Hahahaha, I will ask Xiao Han to take you to the office later."
"Okay, then I won't disturb you for now." Gu Yu stood up, closed the door, and returned to his office.
Director Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It seemed that he had misunderstood. The young master of the Gu family was still easy to get along with.
Maybe he was a little nervous in the morning because he had just arrived in a strange environment, so his temperament seemed difficult to get along with.
Although Gu Yu is his subordinate, logically there is no need to care what kind of person he is, but he has been in the newspapers before, praised by senior leaders, and his last name is Gu.
If Gu Yu was difficult to get along with and didn't give face to himself as the director, then he wouldn't dare to offend him. After all, he had worked his way up step by step and had no foundation.

“Boom boom boom…”
"Come in."
Secretary Han put the materials in his hand on the table in front of him and said respectfully, "Director Gu, all the materials of the bureau in the past year are here. Most of them are small cases."
"Okay, thank you for your help. Please go out first. I will call you back if there is anything I don't understand."
"Okay, Director Gu."
After everyone left, Gu Yu crossed his long legs slightly and calmly picked up the file on the table to look through it.
He read quickly and in detail, reading ten lines at a glance. In less than half a day, he had finished reading all the case records from the beginning of 1965 to the present.
There were indeed no major incidents, but there were quite a few small thefts.
Gu Yu had a photographic memory, and looking at the place names that appeared frequently in the data records, his face had a scrutinizing expression and his eyes were full of inquiry.
…

"Director Jin, I've seen data showing that our city and the seven counties below have reported about 2,000 thefts and robberies in the past year, big and small. But Ding'an County accounts for about one-third of them. Have our people gone down to understand the situation? Why is the crime rate in this county so high?" Gu Yu looked directly at the person in front of him.
Director Jin had the illusion that he was being interrogated by his superiors, and his heart beat faster.
He has never asked anyone to compile statistics on the residential information of these criminals. These days are not peaceful, and petty thefts like this happen every other day.
Fortunately, no one was killed. The man was caught and locked up, and the case was settled.
Why bother to collect statistics on this stuff? However, Gu Yu finished reading all of them in such a short time?
For a moment he couldn't believe it. If it was really as Gu Yu said just now, he would definitely have to ask his superiors for instructions and then go to Ding'an County to investigate. He didn't know Gu Yu who had just arrived today, and he couldn't believe his one-sided words.
Although he has a background, he can't just do things on his own. He is the director and he will have to bear the blame if anything goes wrong.
Director Jin said calmly, "Okay, Xiao Gu, to ensure accuracy, I'll have someone verify it first."
"Okay, let's do the statistics as quickly as possible, so that if there is a problem, we can check it as soon as possible to avoid further losses."
Gu Yu made a suggestion.
He expressed his understanding of Director Jin's approach and did not blindly follow his own ideas. In his heart, he had some affirmation for this director.
At least he is not a good-for-nothing, opportunistic person.
After Gu Yu left, Director Jin looked at the secretary beside him and said, "Xiao Han, go and arrange for someone to count the places where thieves have lived in the past three years."
"Director, do you want all those from the past three years?" Secretary Han asked hesitantly.
Three years of theft statistics, even if everyone in the entire department works overtime, will take at least a month to get the results!
"One year's statistics, oh, forget it, let's just calculate the statistics for the last six months first, this is urgent." Director Jin was helpless, and he even doubted in his heart, is this Gu Yu really that amazing?
