To be blunt, Zhou Ding had no one to blame but himself. But of course, he would never admit that.

Instead, he exploded on Mei Qian, blaming her for everything. At first, she tried to stay calm and explain, but when she realized Zhou Ding wasn't listening at all, her temper snapped too.

Big mistake.

The moment she pushed back, Zhou Ding went off like a firecracker. He started hurling accusations left and right, hellbent on dumping all his bottled-up frustration onto her.

But Mei Qian wasn't the type to take things lying down. Sure, she usually went along with Zhou Ding to keep the peace—but now she was pissed, too. And if Zhou Ding wanted to yell, she was more than capable of yelling back.

By the time Zhou Yuwen got home, already in a foul mood, he walked in to see his parents screaming at each other—almost like they were about to start yanking each other's hair out.

"I've had enough! Would you two shut up already?" Zhou Yuwen snapped, frowning hard.

Mei Qian immediately turned to him like she'd just found her savior. Grabbing his arm, she pleaded, "Yuwen, tell me I'm not crazy here—just be honest with me!"

Zhou Ding wasn't about to back down, "She's the one who started it!"

As Zhou Yuwen listened to them argue and pieced the story together, a crease formed between his brows. So... his half-brother—the one he'd always thought of as a complete nobody—might actually be more capable than he thought.

He'd assumed Jiang Yiqing was just some backwater brat with nothing going for him. But hearing how Xu Kaida kicked his parents out for insulting him? That didn't sit right. Something about it made him uneasy.

"Hmph! Xu Kaida must be out of his mind. He's obviously been tricked!" Zhou Ding was still in denial, refusing to believe Jiang Yiqing had any real skills.

That theory brought Zhou Yuwen a bit of comfort. Yeah, that had to be it. His older brother must've tricked Xu Kaida somehow.

Besides, the guy grew up in the mountains. What could he possibly know about business? And his mom had already handled things—Jiang Yiqing had been cut off from the Zhou family. He posed no real threat.

Feeling a little more reassured, Zhou Yuwen relaxed. Still, his frown returned when he looked at his bickering parents.

"Alright, enough. I'll take care of the partnership issue," he said.

Zhou Ding's expression immediately softened. "Really? You've got a plan?"

"We don't have to work with Kaida Construction. There are other companies," Zhou Yuwen said. "I've been meaning to tell you—I know the son of Cheng'an Construction's owner. He's willing to help me out a little."

He wasn't lying—this "little favor" wasn't a big deal to the guy. He liked Zhou Yuwen, after all.

Zhou Yuwen used to aim high, only interested in people like Wen Xiuyan. But now, he was adjusting. Fast.

To be fair, Zhou Yuwen had a pretty solid mindset. Within a short span of time, he'd already shifted gears and started planning a new route.

Of course, he didn't really like the Cheng'an guy—he had no intention of dating him. A tiny favor was fine, but that was it.

Zhou Ding lit up like a Christmas tree. All the anger on his face vanished, replaced by approval and even a bit of pride.

"Yuwen, I knew you wouldn't let me down! Look at you—getting more capable by the day. Why didn't you mention this earlier?"

Zhou Yuwen kept his expression neutral. No way he was going to tell his dad anything unless absolutely necessary. If Zhou Ding found out who he knew, he'd immediately try to squeeze every drop of value out of that connection.

But this time, he had no choice. The Zhou family was sliding toward disaster, and someone had to step up.

To reassure Zhou Ding further, Zhou Yuwen pulled out his phone and dialed the Cheng'an boss's son, Li Yu'ao.

Sure enough, as soon as Li Yu'ao heard Zhou Yuwen reaching out, he agreed right away and promised to talk to his father. He even said he'd be ready to meet with Zhou Ding any time for a potential partnership.

Hearing how quickly Li Yu'ao agreed, Zhou Ding finally let out a long sigh of relief. The fire in him died down immediately, and he didn't argue with Mei Qian anymore. Realizing Zhou Yuwen was siding with her, he even forced himself to apologize politely.

But Mei Qian was already done with this man. She was utterly disappointed—thank goodness her son still had some sense!

Zhou Yuwen, meanwhile, curled his lips into a small smirk. Li Yu'ao had been chasing after him for a while now, but he had never once given the guy a second glance. Now that he took the initiative, of course Li Yu'ao would agree without hesitation.

Jiang Yiqing went live right on schedule. This time, he was connected to a man in his early thirties.

The moment the livestream linked up, the man's eyes lit up. "Master Jiang! I can't believe I actually got through—guess today's my lucky day!"

He wasn't exaggerating. Jiang Yiqing was seriously popular now, with hundreds of thousands of live viewers. Getting a direct connection was like winning the lottery.

The man's name was Wu Dai, thirty-three years old. After grinding his way through life post-college, he had finally saved up enough—plus some help from his parents—to buy a home.

He and his wife, along with his parents, had visited multiple properties. Each had its perks, but there was no consensus. Wu Dai and his wife preferred one place, while his parents leaned toward another. The disagreements dragged the whole process out.

Wu Dai was a loyal viewer of Jiang Yiqing's livestreams. Recently, house-hunting had been draining him—what started as excitement quickly turned into a chore. Every night after work, they'd visit yet another property. The pressure of spending such a massive sum made the whole family anxious.

And they couldn't just make a quick decision either—what if they got scammed?

Then, a lightbulb went off in Wu Dai's head—why not ask Master Jiang? Buying a house involved feng shui anyway, right? And since Master Jiang could tell fortunes, surely he knew feng shui too.

Plus, he only charged 2,000 yuan. For that price, ensuring they didn't buy a disaster of a house? Total steal!

He pitched the idea to his family. They didn't really get it, but they were so fed up with the endless debate that they didn't object either. "Let him do what he wants," was basically the vibe.

As long as they didn't say no, that was good enough for Wu Dai. Excited, he requested a connection—and to his shock, he got through on his first try. Maybe today really was his lucky day! Maybe this would finally solve the house problem!
