He refused to admit it, but his legs were definitely not as long as Wen Xiuyan's.

Jiang Yiqing was pretty tall—around 1.8 meters with a great build and long legs, but Wen Xiuyan stood nearly 1.9 meters with perfect proportions. He looked like a model, someone whose legs seemed to stretch endlessly, and even though it was an exaggeration, it wasn't far from the truth.

"This is really good, so fresh..." Wen Xiuyan complimented Jiang Yiqing's cooking as he dug into the meal.

There was no one who didn't enjoy a compliment, especially from someone like Wen Xiuyan, who seemed to rarely give them. When such a person genuinely praised you, it felt truly gratifying.

"Haha, I just love cooking for people like you," Jiang Yiqing said, giving Wen Xiuyan a thumbs-up.

Wen Xiuyan smiled slightly.

After the meal, Wen Xiuyan took the initiative to clean up. Jiang Yiqing had felt a bit awkward at first—after all, it wasn't ideal to make the guest do the work—but now, he was used to it.

Well, since they were good friends, Jiang Yiqing didn't mind at all. After all, Wen Xiuyan was helping out.

As Wen Xiuyan went to the kitchen, Milk Ball, who had been lying still like a toy on the sofa, finally moved. It scampered over to Jiang Yiqing, rubbing against his fingers, then wagged its tail at Pang Pang.

Jiang Yiqing felt a little sorry for Milk Ball. He reached out to pet it, smoothing its fur.

Both man and dog were happily playing, completely unaware that Wen Xiuyan had returned from the kitchen.

Wen Xiuyan stared at the moving "toy": "..."

Should he pretend he didn't see this?

But neither Jiang Yiqing nor the dog noticed him. Wen Xiuyan coughed lightly.

Instantly, Milk Ball froze, pretending to be a real toy. Jiang Yiqing quickly pulled his hand back and lowered his head, pretending to be absorbed in his phone.

He then looked up with a feigned surprised expression and said, "Oh? You're done cleaning?"

Wen Xiuyan helplessly nodded, pretending as if nothing had happened. "Mm."

Both of them knew exactly what had just occurred, but only Milk Ball, in its innocence, was secretly relieved. It was just lucky it hadn't been caught!

Pang Pang looked at Milk Ball, thinking: See? I told you pigs are smarter than dogs.

Lately, Xu Kaida had been feeling on top of the world. Why? Because his competitor, Cheng'an Construction, was seeing a sharp drop in sales.

Most of the people who had been looking at Cheng'an's properties were now directed to Ruida, and a small portion went to other smaller construction companies.

Seeing his own sales soaring, Xu Kaida couldn't help but grin from ear to ear!

He naturally knew the cause of this, and after much hesitation, he finally called Jiang Yiqing. "Master Jiang, I really need to thank you for this."

Jiang Yiqing was puzzled. "Thank me? For what?"

Xu Kaida replied, "For the Cheng'an situation..."

Jiang Yiqing said, "That has nothing to do with you."

Xu Kaida wasn't stupid, and he understood immediately. "So, Lanting's issue is real?"

Jiang Yiqing raised an eyebrow. "What? Do you think I'm spreading rumors because of personal grudges?"

"Of course not, Master Jiang. Please don't misunderstand, I didn't mean that," Xu Kaida immediately responded, looking worried that he might offend Jiang Yiqing.

Jiang Yiqing chuckled. "I was just joking."

Xu Kaida patted his chest in relief. "You scared me there!"

But now that he had confirmation from Jiang Yiqing, unlike the hesitant internet users, Xu Kaida fully believed him. Without a second thought, he ordered his subordinates to get ready to capitalize on Cheng'an's loss of market share!

For most people, the situation was still up in the air—they were waiting to see if Cheng'an would truly face a crisis. Once it happened, they were prepared to scoop up the customers.

Unlike Xu Kaida's certainty, online discussions had started to shift as time passed.

After all, it had been several days, and the Lanting buildings were still standing strong, with no problems at all!

This led more and more people to believe that Jiang Yiqing was spreading rumors, and naturally, Cheng'an Construction wasn't above fueling this narrative.

By the seventh day, Cheng'an had issued a court summons to Jiang Yiqing, claiming they were suing him for defamation.

"Haha, now we see why this internet celebrity is so eager to make a name for himself—he'll say anything to stay relevant. Well, now he's getting what he deserves."

"Wow, Cheng'an really means business this time. Their market share evaporated because of what he said, and now Jiang Yiqing's gonna pay for it, big time!"

"Not just paying—this is defamation! Get ready to see him go to jail!"

"Laughing so hard, where are his clueless fans now?"

"Hold on, I just saw it! Lanting's building really collapsed! Someone caught it on camera!"

"Aahhhhh, oh my god, I'm at the scene, I'm freaking out! Sob sob, Master Jiang, I will never doubt you again!"

This story started with the fans of Jiang Yiqing, who loved to join in on the excitement.

Earlier, someone had created a fan group for Jiang Yiqing, and as his popularity grew, so did the number of people in the group.

The fans often chatted and goofed around in the group, treating it like a large chat room.

Jiang Yiqing had mentioned that the Lanting building would collapse. It sounded absurd, but these fans had been through many ups and downs with him, so they'd seen their fair share of outlandish things.

No matter how ridiculous it seemed, had anything they'd seen before been any less absurd? So, they stayed calm and fully believed Jiang Yiqing's words.

"Good thing I watched Master Jiang's livestream on time today. I was planning to go sign the contract at Lanting, but now I'm not signing anymore. Thanks to Master Jiang, I successfully avoided the pit."

From their decisive attitude, it was clear they completely trusted Jiang Yiqing.

Wu Dai, who had been looking at the house with Jiang Yiqing, was also in the group. Seeing how everyone trusted Jiang Yiqing, he became even more certain not to buy at Lanting.

However, while he was resolute, his parents weren't on the same page. Though they'd agreed to wait seven days, every day they had to say, "Tell me, how did we fall for this nonsense? He hasn't even been to the site, but he says the building will collapse. It sounds like complete rubbish. Look, nothing's happened yet."
