Liu Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he felt a strong force gripping his wrist, forcing him to release Zhang Muyao's wrist.
Looking at her wrist, which had been gripped so tightly it turned red, Zhang Muyao felt aggrieved and tears streamed down her face.
Qian Mao looked at Zhang Muyao's slightly red eyes and the tears on her face with heartache, feeling extremely distressed. He wondered how he could teach her a lesson.
Liu Jun panicked when he saw Zhang Muyao's tears. In the municipal circles of Haikou, everyone knew that Mayor Zhang was a doting husband and a doting father. Now, he had gripped Zhang Muyao's wrist until it was red and made her cry. What was he going to do?
Qian Mao gently pulled Zhang Muyao towards him and said to her in a low voice, "Are you full? Let's go!"
Zhang Muyao looked at Qian Mao, whose eyes were full of heartache, and nodded.
Liu Jun opened his mouth, watching the two figures leave, feeling unsure of what to do. After all, he had gripped Zhang Muyao's wrist until it was red. He should probably talk to his father about it first.
After returning home, Liu Jun immediately told his father about the incident. Liu Jun was his father's youngest son, so he was naturally more spoiled than his older siblings. However, the consequences of today's incident were something his father dared not imagine. Back when Zhang Muyao first transferred to Haishi, she was only an eight or nine-year-old girl. At that time, Liu Jun had pulled her pigtail and was caught at home by Zhang Haotian, who was then just a police chief, and given a legal lecture for more than an hour. Of course, he didn't have his current position then, so he naturally didn't dare to challenge Zhang Haotian.
Although Zhang Haotian later transferred from the police force to the political arena, he was definitely a breath of fresh air. Many people found it difficult to get close to him. It wasn't that no one had tried to get close to Zhang Muyao, but Zhang Muyao was very disciplined and never went to places frequented by strangers. Moreover, she always had people protecting her, so those who tried to get close to her were dealt with.
Mr. Liu looked at his son, who was hanging his head and not speaking, and sighed, saying, "You've known about Uncle Zhang's methods since you were little. How dare you still bully Yao Yao?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Jun immediately raised his head and said in an unfriendly tone, "Zhang Muyao has gotten a boyfriend. I reckon Uncle Zhang doesn't know about this. She's the wife I've been planning to marry."
After a moment of silence, Mr. Liu asked, "Are you sure this person is Yao Yao's boyfriend?"
Liu Jun nodded and said, "The two are very close, there's definitely no doubt about that."
Mr. Liu said, "Zhang Haotian has considerable influence in Shanghai, and he also has connections in Beijing. That's why I'm suggesting you pursue Zhang Muyao. Your brother isn't as talented as you, but you're not exactly successful either. You should go back to school. Zhang Haotian wouldn't even look at you with just a high school diploma."
Liu Jun said, "Dad, you don't know me. I feel sleepy as soon as I start reading."
After thinking for a moment, Liu's father said, "Then you should go abroad to get some experience. If you want to work within the Chinese system, both education and experience are important."
Zhang Muyao didn't let the matter linger overnight. After parting ways with Qian Mao, she went home, found Zhang Haotian cooking in the kitchen, and immediately extended her wrist.
Zhang Haotian was initially worried that the oil would splatter on his daughter, but when he saw that her once fair wrists were now bruised and purple, his eyes immediately blazed with anger. He quickly turned off the gas stove, wiped his hands, touched them with heartache, and asked, "What happened? Who did this?"
Zhang Muyao said, "It's that Liu Jun. I was having dinner with a classmate when he came over and said that I was his intended wife and that he wouldn't let my classmate have dinner with me."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haotian frowned. This Liu Jun had always bullied Yao Yao since they were little, and this was unacceptable. He took off his apron and said, "Wait for me." Then he walked out of the kitchen.
Once in his study, he picked up the phone, dialed a number, and said, "Liu Tiancheng, check it out." He hung up, walked out of the study, and saw his daughter and daughter-in-law watching TV. He then went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.
Zhang Haotian didn't expect that the next day, Liu Tiancheng would see him at the municipal party committee building and say with a smile, "Mayor Zhang, hello. Yesterday, my son said that he saw your daughter having dinner with a boy at a restaurant. He was afraid that your daughter would be deceived, so he reached out and grabbed her. He didn't expect that he couldn't control his strength. It was really his fault."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Haotian's face immediately darkened. He muttered to himself, "This Liu Tiancheng is quite adept at twisting the truth. He thinks Yao Yao won't tell him about this, so he's trying to strike first? Doesn't he know his own limitations?" However, on the surface, he remained calm and replied with a smile, "Oh? I see. Secretary Liu, misunderstandings are inevitable among young people. However, I still hope you can educate your children well and teach them to respect others."
Liu Tiancheng nodded hurriedly in agreement, promising to discipline his son properly. Then, he changed the subject, starting to discuss work. He told Zhang Haotian that several important projects in the city needed to be advanced and hoped for Zhang Haotian's support and cooperation. Zhang Haotian understood that Liu Tiancheng was trying to curry favor, but he also knew clearly that the other party hadn't given up on pressuring him.
After chatting for a while, Liu Tiancheng got up to say goodbye.
Watching Liu Tiancheng's retreating figure as he left the office, Zhang Haotian felt a surge of anger. He knew that Liu Tiancheng, this seasoned veteran, was not easy to deal with; having been entrenched in Haishi for years, he had become a cancer. He silently pondered how to counter Liu Tiancheng's potential next moves.
