Divorced at fifty, I embarked on my path to success.

Mei Yusheng felt an unprecedented sense of desolation and helplessness. The son she had raised with all her heart and soul for most of her life had failed to be her strong support when she faced the greatest humiliation of her life.

There was no one behind her!

Her heart was a desolate wasteland.

"Alright, stop crying. No one will care if you cry yourself blind!" Xie Mingqi handed over a tissue, her voice choked with sobs. "Anyway, we can't let that scumbag couple get away with this! Even if we get a divorce, we'll make sure that bastard Yue leaves with nothing!"

Mei Yusheng suddenly raised her head: "Divorce? I..."

This was the only choice she had left after reaching the end, and the mere mention of those two words filled her with inexplicable panic.

She couldn't imagine living alone in an unfamiliar environment, even if it was still the house she had bought herself.

Moving out is inevitable. Even if Yue Jiangting leaves the house in Mingxiang Academy to her, she will sell it because she cannot face too many memories in the house.

But can she really start over? At fifty, with her hair streaked with gray, does she still have the courage and confidence to be independent?

OK!

"What? You still want to live with that old man and submit to his fate?" Xie Mingqi's anger had faded, replaced by indignation at his lack of self-respect. "You'd rather die and be buried in the same grave as that old man?"

"No!" Mei Yusheng said resolutely, "If I were to share a grave with him, I would be disgusted to the point of coming back to life!"

"That settles it then?" Xie Mingqi finally showed a hint of relief. "Women should have some backbone. No matter how old they are, they shouldn't let men control them!"

"So what if it's a divorce? What's there to be afraid of! You'll get the evidence of his infidelity, make him leave with nothing, and with a ton of money in your hands, you'll live a carefree life for the rest of your days! We'll go on a world tour!" Xie Mingqi snorted. "That old man will definitely regret it to the core! Isn't the mistress supposed to be so devoted? Then let them lock her up! I want to see if the mistress will cry from anger serving that unreasonable mother-in-law!"

Mei Yusheng seemed to see Han Caiyu being tormented by her mother-in-law, and felt a surge of anger.

She wiped her face with a tissue, feeling less suffocated: "Mingqi, do we really want a divorce? I...I'm not sure..."

“I know you can’t accept it right now, and we’re not getting a divorce right away. We need to make some necessary preparations. We must get evidence of your husband’s infidelity.”

Mei Yusheng's eyes flickered. Finding evidence didn't seem too difficult. Han Caiyu dared to come to her house so openly and even act so affectionately in front of her. She must not have expected or been afraid that she would film their actions.

"Could they have been prepared all along?" Mei Yusheng asked uncertainly.

“No preparation is useless! You are still husband and wife. His cohabitation with another woman and his ambiguous behavior are evidence of infidelity. No matter how hard he tries, he won’t gain anything in a divorce lawsuit!” Xie Mingqi said confidently. “I will hire the best lawyer for you, don’t worry. The most important thing right now is to get the evidence.”

"Follow them?"

Xie Mingqi's eyes flashed with calculation: "First, install surveillance cameras at home. If the mistress dares to go there again, we can collect evidence."

Mei Yusheng lowered her head in thought, and Xie Mingqi slapped her arm: "Hey, stop thinking about it. First, get the evidence of their infidelity. Then, whether you want a divorce or use the evidence to blackmail them, it's up to you! You can control them however you want!"

"Hmph, let's see if your unreasonable mother-in-law still dares to be arrogant!"

“Okay! I’ll listen to you!” Mei Yusheng made up her mind.

"Let's go out and get something good to eat first, then we'll buy a security camera and figure out how to install it." Xie Mingqi was decisive and efficient. She pulled Mei Yusheng along, grabbed their bags, and they went out the door together.

Xie Mingqi drove a silver-pink Audi and took Mei Yusheng to a refined private restaurant for lunch. They ordered their favorite dishes, and Mei Yusheng, encouraged by her best friend, was in a good mood and ate her fill.

The afternoon sun was scorching, and Mei Yusheng felt a bit tired. After all, she hadn't slept all night and had eaten something, so a sense of physical fatigue spread through her limbs.

"How about we go buy it another day?" Mei Yusheng suggested hesitantly.

"What? You want to back out again?" Xie Mingqi glared at her. "Let me tell you, don't try to hide in your shell like a turtle. They've come to your door with knives, and you still want to play dead? Believe me, they really will kill you!"

Mei Yusheng shuddered and straightened up: "Okay, let's go!"

They were unfamiliar with modern high-tech products, so Xie Mingqi called a friend for detailed information and wrote down a phone number. Then, she drove Mei Yusheng to the largest electronics market in Yinhai City.

After getting off the bus and walking inside, Xie Mingqi dialed the number she had just written down, asked for the location, and found it was easy to find. After walking for a short while, she saw a large storefront.

A young man came out to greet them: "Hello, ladies, my name is Cheng Peng."

Xie Mingqi smiled, her eyes crinkling as she looked the young man up and down: "You're Old Cheng's son? Wow, you're really handsome!"

Cheng Peng blushed and enthusiastically led them into the store, explaining in detail the usage methods, advantages, and disadvantages of various cameras.

"We don't know anything about this!" Xie Mingqi waved her hand with a smile. "Just recommend one for us, as long as it works at home and the picture is clear. Oh, and you have to install it for us too."

"Aunt Xie, don't worry, I've got it covered!" Cheng Peng picked out one and handed it over. "This one, it's new and has the best value for money."

They had no objections, so they packed it up, paid, and Cheng Peng took the tool kit, intending to go home with them to install it.

“Yusheng, listen to me,” Xie Mingqi pulled Mei Yusheng aside, “Let’s go to your house together. I’ll have Cheng Peng wait outside, and I’ll trick the old lady into coming out so he can go install it. How about that?”

Mei Yusheng's eyes lit up: "Great!"

When we returned to Mingxiang Academy, it was already past 2 p.m. We could see a bright pink Golf blocking the entrance from afar.

Mei Yusheng frowned, but didn't think much of it, and walked around it into the stairwell.

Xie Mingqi told Cheng Peng to wait for her call there, and then she and Mei Yusheng went into the elevator together.

Upon reaching the sixth floor, Mei Yusheng stood in front of her own door. She had just entered a password when the door opened.

Han Caiyu's still-charming face appeared at the door, startling Mei Yusheng.

"Who are you?" Xie Mingqi was the first to bristle. Her intuition told her who the other person was, and her tone was explosive. "Do you know you're trespassing? I'm calling the police to arrest you!"

As she pulled out her phone to dial, Han Caiyu panicked, but forced herself to remain composed, raising her chin and saying, "I'd like to ask you who you are? This is definitely not your home!"

"Is this your home?" Mei Yusheng snapped out of her daze, grabbed Han Caiyu's braid, and pulled her out of the door with a jolt.

"Ouch—it hurts! You crazy woman, let me go! Brother Jiang Ting, save me!" Han Caiyu wailed and howled, her voice echoing loudly in the stairwell.

Mei Yusheng was somewhat surprised, not expecting Yue Jiangting to be at home at this time!

"Caiyu, what's wrong?" A hoarse voice called out, and the old woman's face appeared in the doorway. Upon seeing Mei Yusheng, she exclaimed involuntarily, "Ah! Let go of Caiyu!"

"Let go!"

With a thunderous sound, Mei Yusheng was kicked hard in the groin, her body involuntarily tilting to one side, her back slamming against the hard, cold wall.

"Old Yue, are you crazy! How could you lay a hand on Yu Sheng!" Xie Mingqi demanded sharply.
