So, as he smiled and spoke to Hao Jian, he was actually making a point: No one can bully my daughter, not even me. So, now that she's with you, you can't bully her at all. If I find out you did, I'll come after you!
Hao Jian listened and naturally understood the underlying message in Liang Youzhen's words... But everyone is smart here, and smart people have their own way of handling matters. As long as you understand, there's no need to say it outright, because saying it out loud changes its essence, and that wouldn't be good.
So Hao Jian and Liang Youzhen exchanged knowing smiles and remained silent, understanding each other without words. But Liang Yuwei, caught between her father's words and Hao Jian's gaze, blushed even more, holding Hao Jian's arm and giving him a sharp pinch.
Hao Jian endured the pain in silence, thinking that if he couldn't even hold back in front of Liang Youzhen, saying too much would make Liang Youzhen overthink, so he kept quiet.
