My Livestreaming Metaphysics & Gossip Became an Internet Sensation Ch. 123

"Tsk, those saying they don't believe it are either hired trolls or people who haven't seen Jiang Yiqing's livestream. I'm not in a hurry. I'll just wait for them to get slapped in the face."

Jiang Yiqing didn't pay attention to any of these comments. The situation had blown up so much, and he was enjoying it. The bigger the fuss, the more people would know, and those actually living in Lanting could move out early.

As for those who absolutely refused to believe it, Jiang Yiqing thought, life and death were fated.

By the way, Jiang Yiqing also received a call from Cheng'an's lawyer, warning him to stop spreading rumors about Cheng'an, or they would pursue the matter to the end.

The lawyer was just doing his job, so Jiang Yiqing had no intention of making things hard for him. He replied, "Tell your boss that whether I'm spreading rumors or not, he knows it in his heart."

The lawyer relayed the message to Cheng'an's boss, Li Cheng'an. When Li Cheng'an heard this, he threw his teacup in anger, "Good, good, what a world we live in. A little internet celebrity, really has some nerve!"

Li Cheng'an then looked at the young man standing in front of him, his son, Li Yu'ao.

Li Cheng'an had given Li Yu'ao full responsibility for the development of the Lanting project, and now that he thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. He asked again, "Are you sure there's no problem with Lanting?"

Li Yu'ao felt a little guilty but thought about it for a moment. In the past, their other projects had also cut corners, and this one was no different, just with a bit more cutting than before.

Anyway, Li Yu'ao didn't believe there was a problem. Look at the buildings—weren't they still standing?

With that thought, Li Yu'ao regained his confidence and immediately said, "Dad, don't worry. I've been overseeing the construction at Lanting from the start. There's absolutely no problem. That so-called 'internet celebrity' is just a clown. Let's wait for him to get sued!"

Hearing his son's confidence, Li Cheng'an felt more at ease and snorted, "Fine, I'll have it checked again. I don't believe it—one small internet celebrity, unless there's someone behind him, he wouldn't dare to be so bold!"

Li Yu'ao cleared his throat and, seeing that his father was in a better mood, continued, "Dad, I recently found a new supplier for building materials, how about..."

Before he could finish, Li Cheng'an furrowed his brow and interrupted, "With everything going on right now, you still want to talk to me about this?"

Li Cheng'an knew exactly who his son was trying to help. He made an excuse and didn't agree.

Li Yu'ao understood that his father was really stressed about the situation, so he didn't press further.

After leaving the office, Li Yu'ao called Zhou Yuwen, "Yuwen, let me explain. It's not that I'm not helping you, it's just that... yeah, wait a little longer..."

Zhou Yuwen frowned as he hung up the phone, feeling a bit annoyed. Li Yu'ao had promised to help earlier so confidently, but now he was dragging things out.

All this talk about an internet celebrity spreading rumors—just an excuse, right?

Zhou Ding had pushed for this deal several times, and even though Zhou Yuwen felt like Li Yu'ao was just making excuses, he still passed the message along.

When Zhou Ding heard this, his brow furrowed deeply. "You're saying this internet celebrity is Jiang Yiqing?"

Zhou Yuwen nodded, not understanding why his father reacted this way. He glanced over at Mei Qian, who also seemed surprised, almost as if she recognized Jiang Yiqing's name.

Zhou Yuwen knew he had an older half-brother, but he had always been dismissive about him. Naturally, he didn't know that Jiang Yiqing was his half-brother.

"Humph! That bastard—could he be deliberately going against the Zhou family?" Zhou Ding was seething with anger. His company was in a hurry to finalize a big collaboration, and now there was this mess, all because of Jiang Yiqing. How could he not be furious?

Even though Zhou Ding knew Jiang Yiqing had no idea about their plans with Cheng'an, he couldn't help but blame everything on him, convinced it was all intentional.

Mei Qian also said, "I agree, Yiqing's gone too far this time. Even if he hates us, he shouldn't act like this..."

Zhou Ding snorted. "He thinks he's something special? Now he's going head-to-head with Cheng'an? Just wait. He'll be done for, and I won't help him."

Originally, after seeing how Xie Kaida had stood up for Jiang Yiqing, Zhou Ding had some lingering regret about not recognizing him as his son. He even argued with Mei Qian about it. But now, hearing about the latest trouble Jiang Yiqing had caused, Zhou Ding was starting to feel relieved. If he had accepted Jiang Yiqing, the family would've been in even bigger trouble with someone like him causing chaos.

Zhou Ding was now certain that Jiang Yiqing was doomed, and when the time came, he wouldn't lift a finger to help.

Zhou Yuwen learned from their conversation that Jiang Yiqing was now some famous internet personality, spreading lies. He couldn't help but frown in disdain. How could he have a brother like that? Luckily, no one else knew.

Jiang Yiqing had no idea what Zhou family was thinking, and even if he did, he wouldn't care.

At the moment, he was preparing a mushroom feast. He had gathered quite a few mushrooms earlier and generously invited Wen Xiuyan over to enjoy them.

With Wen Xiuyan's arrival, Milk Ball, who usually loved running around, lay obediently on the sofa, pretending to be a still toy.

Wen Xiuyan noticed the cute little "toy" and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yiqing.

Jiang Yiqing cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. "Come over here and help me wash the mushrooms."

He hoped Wen Xiuyan wouldn't think he was too girly, getting excited over a cute little toy.

Wen Xiuyan rolled up his sleeves without hesitation and started washing the mushrooms without asking questions.

Jiang Yiqing pretended to be nonchalant.

Although Wen Xiuyan didn't look like someone who would do household chores, he was surprisingly skilled. The mushrooms were washed clean, and Jiang Yiqing was pleased. He made mushroom soup, stir-fried mushrooms with meat, a non-mushroom dish, and some small buns with mushroom filling.

Though the variety wasn't vast, the portion size was more than enough for the two of them.

Wen Xiuyan sat on the sofa, his long legs curled up, looking slightly uncomfortable.

Jiang Yiqing couldn't help but think how he'd never noticed how low this sofa was. It felt just right for him, though.
