Liu Jingye talked to his family at home about what had happened in the Zhu family these days.
Liu Jingye brought the Zhu family's affairs to the surface in an effort to discourage Liu Meiling from looking for Zhu Xiaojun. After all, the Zhu family had been experiencing bad luck recently, and it was unclear whether Zhu Xiangyang's rise to power would bring any setbacks. If the Zhu family fell on hard times, Liu Jingye would definitely not allow Liu Meiling to have anything to do with Zhu Xiaojun.
"The Zhu... the Zhu family is going to be in trouble?" Zhang Jintao, who was not in a high position, heard this news for the first time. Zhang Jintao's mind was a little confused. Wasn't the Zhu family Liu Jingye's backer? If it weren't for Zhu Manwen's relationship, no matter how capable Liu Jingye was, his career wouldn't have been so smooth over the years.
But Liu Meiling looked so gloating, was she hoping for bad luck for the Zhu family? Or was she hoping for bad luck for the Zhu family?
No, what will happen to the Zhu family is a matter for the future. Now, he can't let Liu Meiling fool him.
Thinking of this, Zhang Jintao quickly coaxed Liu Meiling and said, "Meiling, your mother is still waiting! Let's go to your grandfather's birthday party first, and talk about other things tomorrow. What do you think?"
"No. What birthday party? How can it be more important than my business? Uncle, cousin, I ask you, are you going to make this call or not?" Liu Meiling frowned and even changed the more intimate-sounding name "uncle" to "cousin".
Zhang Jintao and Yu Fanghua were cousins, so Liu Meiling should have called him "uncle" correctly. But suddenly, Liu Meiling changed her name from "uncle" to "cousin," and Zhang Jintao felt very uncomfortable.
Liu Meiling had no intention of going to the birthday celebration. To be exact, Liu Meiling agreed to Yu Fanghua just to trick Zhang Jintao into working for her.
"I can't make this call. I can't afford to offend the Zhou family." Seeing that Liu Meiling was pressing him hard, Zhang Jintao had no choice but to express his opinion.
"Well, don't regret it." After Liu Meiling said this, she picked up the phone with a cold face and started dialing.
At first, Zhang Jintao thought Liu Meiling was going to do it herself. After watching for two seconds, he realized that Liu Meiling was not dialing a number from this city, but a number from another place, and Zhang Jintao was very familiar with this number.
Before Liu Meiling dialed the last digit, Zhang Jintao reached out and hung up the phone.
"Liu Meiling, what do you want to do?" Zhang Jintao asked gritting his teeth.
"Call Zhu Zhenhua! What? Is it not possible?" Liu Meiling said arrogantly.
"Meiling, I'm asking you why you called Zhu Zhenhua? You knew it very well." Zhang Jintao had a headache. If Liu Meiling was his daughter, he would have to slap her a few times.
"I'm going to call Zhu Zhenhua and tell him that you pretended to be my dad a few days ago and said a lot of bad things about Wen Ziqing in front of him, hehe..." Liu Meiling showed a cunning smile on her face.
"Meiling, what nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you ask me to make that phone call? You also taught me what to say. Otherwise, how would I know that Wen Ziqing took his girlfriend to travel during the mission?" Zhang Jintao was anxious.
Poor Zhang Jintao didn't know that he had fallen into Liu Meiling's trap early on. Liu Meiling didn't tell Zhang Jintao that Wen Ziqing's girlfriend was Zhou Yuanyuan. Zhang Jintao's identity was not enough. He had been in Kyoto for more than half a year and didn't know much about the affairs in the aristocratic circle.
"Hahaha... cousin, what did you say? Who saw it? Do you have any evidence? If things really get complicated, do you think my dad will believe me or you, an outsider?" Liu Meiling laughed.
Crazy! This little bitch is crazy! In Zhang Jintao's mind, apart from this sentence, he can no longer think of anything else.
Liu Meiling reached out to pick up the microphone again. This time, she wanted to dial Zhou Yuanyuan's home phone number. After the call was connected, she let Zhang Jintao speak.
Everything in front of Zhang Jintao seemed to have turned into a slow-motion movie. Zhang Jintao watched helplessly as Liu Meiling dialed the number. The phone rang twice, and a middle-aged woman's voice came from the receiver: "Hello! This is General Zhou's house. Who are you looking for?"
General Zhou’s house?
"Hey..." Liu Meiling had just opened her mouth to say one word when a pair of big hands grabbed her throat.
Zhang Jintao was like a madman, strangling Liu Meiling's neck with both hands. He couldn't let Liu Meiling talk nonsense in front of General Zhou and implicate himself, absolutely not!
"Hello! Hello! Who are you looking for? Is anyone there? Speak!" The voice from the microphone made Zhang Jintao wake up.
Zhang Jintao quickly let go of her hand and hung up the phone. He looked down and saw Liu Meiling lying quietly on the ground.
Zhang Jintao bent down to check Liu Meiling's breath, then sat down on the ground in fright.
He killed Liu Meiling? He just wanted to stop Liu Meiling from making the phone call, he didn't want her life! What should he do? What should he do now?
Thinking of Liu Jingye's furious face and the impending imprisonment, Zhang Jintao buried his head between his legs, tears streaming down his face.
Mandarin Hotel.
Yu Fanghua made a gesture to her husband who was sitting next to Yu Daqian, and sneaked out of the private room.
The Yu family booked a banquet hall today to celebrate Yu Daqian's birthday. In addition to Yu Fanghua and her three sisters, some close relatives and friends also came to celebrate the birthday.
Of the three Yu Fanghua sisters, Yu Fanghua married the best. All day today, Yu Daqian had Liu Jingye sitting next to him, showing off his good son-in-law to the relatives and friends who came to celebrate his birthday, making the other two sons-in-law look pale.
Yu Fanghua's two sisters were unhappy. Five minutes ago, the two sisters deliberately sang in unison and asked why Liu Meiling didn't come to celebrate her birthday?
Yu Daqian's sharp eyes made Yu Fanghua so embarrassed that she almost wanted to crawl under the table.
After waiting for a long time for Yu Daqian to talk about other topics, Yu Fanghua finally freed herself and planned to make a phone call to urge Liu Meiling.
The banquet hall was on the third floor. After Yu Fanghua went down to the first floor, before she could borrow a phone from the front desk, Zhang Jintao pushed open the door of the hotel.
"Jintao, where is Meiling?" Yu Fanghua tiptoed to look behind Zhang Jintao, but did not see her daughter, so she couldn't help but ask.
"Third sister, Meiling is not at home. What's wrong? She didn't come over?" Zhang Jintao's expression was calm.
"This damn girl, I told her to wait at home, why is she running around everywhere?" Yu Fanghua cursed angrily.
"Or, I'll go look for it again!" Zhang Jintao turned around and prepared to go out.
"No need, my dad just asked about you! Go upstairs! I'll call Meiling's friend's house to ask." Yu Fanghua saw that Zhang Jintao looked tired, and remembered that the banquet was about to begin, and she felt embarrassed to let Zhang Jintao go without a meal.
