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

Mei Yusheng's heart skipped a beat, and she was suddenly kicked to the ground, a piercing pain shooting through her waist.

"Caiyu, are you alright?" Yue Jiangting didn't even glance at Mei Yusheng, and anxiously hugged Han Caiyu. "I told you not to open the door, but you wouldn't listen."

"You shameless old man! How dare you lay a hand on your own wife for your mistress? I'll fight you to the death!" Xie Mingqi saw Mei Yusheng clutching her waist, her face pale with pain, and her eyes blazed with fury as she bared her teeth and claws at Yue Jiangting's face.

Yue Jiangting was so focused on checking where Han Caiyu was injured that he didn't notice Xie Mingqi, who successfully ambushed him, leaving two long, bloody scratches on his face.

"Ah! Crazy woman!" Yue Jiangting covered his face, and when he suddenly saw the domineering Xie Mingqi, he froze for half a second, then became furious, "Xie Mingqi, what are you doing here at my house?"

"You old scumbag, how dare you ask me?" Xie Mingqi cursed angrily, pulling Han Caiyu out of Yue Jiangting's arms without stopping and beating her mercilessly.

"Where did this crazy woman come from? How dare you hit my son! I'm calling the police! Calling the police!" the mother-in-law screamed hysterically.

Han Caiyu covered her face in terror and screamed, startling the entire building. Neighbors from upstairs and downstairs rushed out, peering out curiously.

Mei Yusheng felt very satisfied watching the scene and wanted to stand up and join the battle, but unfortunately, her lower back hurt so much that she couldn't exert any strength.

Cheng Peng came up at some point and reached out to help her up: "Aunt Mei, are you alright? Let me help you up."

"Thank you." Mei Yusheng placed her hand on his strong arm, and Cheng Peng supported her waist with his other hand, barely managing to stand up.

Yue Jiangting glanced furtively at the growing crowd of onlookers, feeling embarrassed and worried that Han Caiyu might be taken advantage of. He stepped forward to pull Xie Mingqi away, trying to rescue Han Caiyu.

"Stop! How can a man lay a hand on a woman? Have you no shame!" Cheng Peng shouted, seeing that Yue Jiangting had become violent towards Xie Mingqi and that he was too busy supporting Mei Yusheng to do anything else.

Yue Jiangting froze, turned his head and saw a young man glaring at him with disdain. He became angry, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, he had no choice but to stop, muttering to himself, "I was just trying to break up the fight. Didn't you see this crazy woman hitting someone?"

At this moment, Han Caiyu had already been dragged to the elevator entrance by Xie Mingqi. Without Yue Jiangting, Xie Mingqi was unilaterally abusing Han Caiyu. Han Caiyu's face was bruised, her braids were disheveled, and she cried loudly in a sorry state.

Two neighbors tried to intervene and mediate, but Xie Mingqi yelled, "If you side with the mistress, I wish all the men in your families would cheat on you like Yue Jiangting!"

The two were so startled that they immediately withdrew their hands and exchanged a surprised look.

Yue Jiangting's face turned ashen, and he turned to Mei Yusheng, roaring, "Tell your best friend to stop! Is this the helper you called? Just like you, a shrew! Do you really want to ruin me and my son?"

The next sentence struck a nerve with Mei Yusheng. After struggling for a few seconds, she reluctantly said, "Mingqi, stop hitting me!"

Xie Mingqi, nearly exhausted from the beating, stopped, panting heavily. Hands on her hips, she pointed at Han Caiyu, who was slumped on the ground sobbing, and cursed, "Shameless slut! Are all the men in the world dead? Look at that old loofah at Zhongyue Jiangting! You're just the same kind of trash, ptooey!"

Yue Jiangting's face darkened. He rushed over to help Han Caiyu up, shielding her head in his arms to block the curious gazes of the crowd, and hurriedly ran into the house.

When the mother-in-law saw that the hallway was full of people, she had already secretly gone into her home; she couldn't bear the embarrassment.

"Yusheng, are you alright?" Xie Mingqi was exhausted and covered in sweat. A few strands of her neatly combed hair had fallen down, soaked with sweat and clumped together. "Damn it, I really want to beat that bitch to death!"

When Mei Yusheng saw the adulterous couple enter the house, her anger surged again, and she struggled to go over to them.

Cheng Peng hurriedly helped her walk forward, but Xie Mingqi caught up with Yue Jiangting first and blocked the door they were about to close.

"Han Caiyu, you mistress! You're not allowed in my house!" Mei Yusheng shouted anxiously, her eyes red with anger. "Yue Jiangting, have you no shame?"

Cheng Peng practically lifted her up, making her speed up.

As they entered, Xie Mingqi quietly tugged at Cheng Peng and whispered something to him. Cheng Peng nodded solemnly.

Mei Yusheng noticed that the living room was piled with bags and packages, some of which were already open, revealing clothes, shoes, and other items inside—clearly women's belongings.

She was taken aback. What did this mean? Did Han Caiyu really intend to move into her house?

What is Yuejiang Pavilion trying to do? Does it still want to live with its wives and concubines like in the old society?

"Yuejiangting, what do you mean?" Mei Yusheng questioned sharply before even sitting down, "You want your mistress to move in too? Aren't you afraid of what the neighbors will say? You keep telling me not to ruin my son, but what are you doing?"

Yue Jiangting subconsciously distanced himself from Han Caiyu, his eyes darting away: "What nonsense are you talking about? Caiyu sold her house, and the new house she bought isn't even finished being renovated yet. She's just staying at our house temporarily for a while. She'll move out once the house is finished!"

Han Caiyu looked at Yue Jiangting with teary eyes: "Brother Jiangting, didn't you tell me to stay here without worry? What did you promise me? You said you would divorce her and marry me, why are you afraid to admit it now?"

"Well, you two are really shameless!" Xie Mingqi pointed at them and started cursing again. "Old Yue, if I had known earlier that you were a coward who dared to do things but not admit them, I would never have let Yusheng marry you! You shameless bastard, Yusheng's life is truly worthless!"

Yue Jiangting's old face darkened, and a chilling glint flashed in his drooping eyes: "Don't meddle in other people's business! This is our family matter!"

"If you dare bully Yusheng, I'll intervene!" Xie Mingqi jumped up and down. "I heard you've been having an affair with this bitch for twenty years? Tsk tsk, what a deep and devoted relationship! Tell me, are you planning to confront her? Divorce Yusheng?"

Mei Yusheng suddenly looked up and stared intently at Yuejiang Pavilion.

"No, if I wanted a divorce, I would have done it a long time ago." Yue Jiangting glanced at Han Caiyu guiltily. "We're all so old, why are we still making a fuss? We're not young and impetuous anymore."

“Brother Jiang Ting!” Han Caiyu raised her tear-filled face, looking at him with a wronged expression. “What do you mean? Have you been lying to me all this time? I’ve been with you for twenty years, just waiting for the day you would marry me. Didn’t you say you would never let me down and that you would give me a proper title?”

Yue Jiangting dared not meet her burning gaze and lowered his head: "Caiyu, I'm sorry, I... I have to think about my son. But I won't abandon you, I won't let you suffer. Besides marriage, I'll give you whatever you want!"

"No! I want to marry you! I don't want anything else! Waaah... Brother Jiang Ting, you can't go back on your word!" Han Caiyu cried so hard that two long black lines hung under her two almond-shaped eyes, and her curvaceous body trembled, making her look pitiful.

"Alright, sweetie, Caiyu, don't cry anymore. Your crying breaks my heart!" Yue Jiangting hugged her and coaxed her gently.

"Yue!" Xie Mingqi almost threw up her lunch. "Hehe, what a perfect match! How about I post this online and let everyone give your touching love a thumbs up?"

Yue Jiangting suddenly looked up and saw Cheng Peng, who was recording with his phone. His expression turned fierce, and he jumped up from the sofa and pounced on him.
