My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 107

He had just received news that Wen Chuan had finally managed to scrape together enough money. Wen Xiuyan had kept his word, and because Wen Chuan had fixed the issues he had caused, he hadn't been sent to prison.

Zhou Yuwen had originally thought that Wen Xiuyan, out of consideration for family ties, might allow Wen Chuan to return to the company. If that happened, even though he had offended Wen Chuan, he would still find a way to smooth things over.

However, later on, Zhou Yuwen realized he had been overthinking. Wen Chuan not only didn't return to the company, but had also gotten into trouble for borrowing money and failing to repay it on time, getting beaten up for it. Wen Xiuyan had never intervened in the matter.

It was then that Zhou Yuwen finally realized just how low Wen Chuan's status was in Wen Xiuyan's eyes.

It seemed that trying to get close to Wen Xiuyan was impossible. Zhou Yuwen gritted his teeth, deciding to rely on himself.

Since he resembled that person to some extent, he figured Wen Xiuyan would notice him right away. With that thought in mind, Zhou Yuwen smirked.

The mother and son, each with their own plans, finished their meal and decided to take action after.

Mei Qian went to Zhou Ding and deliberately sighed. Zhou Ding, annoyed by her constant sighing, finally furrowed his brows and said, "If you have something to say, just say it!"

"I... I don't know how to bring this up." Mei Qian wore a troubled expression.

Zhou Ding, already irritated, snapped, "Then we'll talk when you've figured out how to say it!"

Mei Qian: "..." Bastard!

"I'll just say it then. Otherwise, I won't be able to calm my mind," Mei Qian reluctantly said. "Actually, that day Yiqing told me that he wants to return to the Zhou family."

"Ha, wants to come back to the Zhou family? With that attitude, he thinks he can come back? Dream on!" Zhou Ding easily believed Mei Qian's words. Even though Jiang Yiqing had said that, his pride wouldn't allow him to believe that Jiang Yiqing truly didn't care about anything in the Zhou family.

This was the result of his decades of hard work—who could not want it?

"He might just be angry," Mei Qian said helplessly. "How about we...?"

"Mei Qian, what's going on in your head every day!" Zhou Ding snapped, furious. "You want me to go begging him to come back? I'm telling you, it's not happening!"

Mei Qian seemed a bit displeased with his attitude. "But he is your son. He wants to return to the Zhou family. Besides, isn't he doing livestreams now? It seems like he has quite a few viewers. I'm just worried that he might do something irrational to get back into the Zhou family."

Zhou Ding furrowed his brows, clearly displeased. Was he really supposed to be afraid of that kid?

"I think, if you really don't want to acknowledge him, we should just cut all ties and make it clear. Otherwise, it would harm the Zhou family's reputation," Mei Qian said carefully, watching Zhou Ding closely. "I'll go find him again, have him sign an agreement, and issue a statement. That way, we won't have any worries."

Zhou Ding silently looked at Mei Qian without saying a word.

Mei Qian, nervous, clenched her fists, feeling cold sweat trickle down her back from the pressure of his gaze.

"You... why are you looking at me like that?" Mei Qian forced a smile, her clenched palms sweaty.

Zhou Ding let out a cold snort, eyes shifting back to his computer as he mocked, "Mei Qian, this was your real goal all along, wasn't it?"

He knew it—this woman, always so stingy, suddenly acting all generous and even trying to convince him to take Jiang Yiqing back? The change was way too drastic, like she was possessed or something.

Now it made sense. Mei Qian was just playing him, using reverse psychology. Tch, did she really think he, Zhou Ding, was some idiot?

Seeing he had caught on, Mei Qian knew pretending wouldn't work anymore. She wiped at her tears and said, "I didn't have a choice. I was just thinking about Yuwen."

"You don't need to think about it," Zhou Ding said. "My estate—he has a share in it."

But how could Mei Qian possibly settle for just a share? She wanted the whole thing.

She lowered her gaze, hiding the dissatisfaction in her eyes. "But you have to believe me, I'm telling the truth. Jiang Yiqing really does want to come back to the Zhou family. I... I'm just afraid you'll suddenly get soft and let him."

Zhou Ding frowned. That useless son of his? The one who went and became some internet influencer? What a disgrace!

He instantly snapped, "No way!"

Mei Qian didn't buy it. "But what if he threatens you?"

Zhou Ding actually laughed. Jiang Yiqing, threaten him?

"People online are so gullible—they believe whatever they hear." Mei Qian racked her brain for more excuses. "And now he's even got fans..."

"Hmph! Like I'd be scared of him!" Zhou Ding's face turned cold, and he slammed the table hard.

"Honey, I really am thinking about what's best for the Zhou family," Mei Qian said. "We're a team, and of course I want the best for us. Jiang Yiqing... that day, I could just tell—he's not someone easy to deal with."

Speaking of that day, Zhou Ding still got angry just thinking about it. The way that brat acted toward him, talking about cutting off blood ties like they were playing house or something.

Why didn't he bring up legally cutting ties? Probably because he still wanted to come back to the Zhou family, right? Hmph! With that kind of attitude, he could dream on!

If Jiang Yiqing knew what Zhou Ding was thinking right now, he'd probably be speechless. Man, this guy was really out here writing whole novels in his head. He hadn't even considered that angle.

What Jiang Yiqing cared more about was the bond of blood. If that wasn't cut off, its impact would always be way stronger than anything legal.

As for the legal stuff? Jiang Yiqing had tons of ways to deal with that. He didn't even care much—honestly, he kind of forgot about it.

When Mei Qian saw Zhou Ding get all worked up every time Jiang Yiqing came up, she secretly curled her lips into a sly little smile and kept pushing, "He is your biological son, after all. He has inheritance rights."

"Inheritance rights? He won't get a single cent from me!" Zhou Ding, totally blinded by rage, walked right into Mei Qian's trap. "Since that's the case, release a public statement. Starting today, the Zhou family has nothing to do with Jiang Yiqing."
