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

"If he's just bluffing and hasn't prepared in advance, then if you file for divorce now, I'll monitor the company's activities, and it will be too late for him to transfer assets," Attorney Qin sent as a final message.

So if Mei Yusheng wants a divorce, she's gambling that Yue Jiangting didn't prepare in advance. But given Yue Jiangting's meticulous nature, she has no chance at all.

"What should we do?" Xie Mingqi asked anxiously. "That old man dared to say it out loud, so he must have been on guard, right?"

Mei Yusheng frowned in thought, hoping that he looked down on her from the bottom of his heart, was certain that she would not dare to divorce him, and was just making a casual threat.

"Could you do some investigation for me secretly first?" Mei Yusheng asked Qin Lu tentatively.

"No problem!" Qin Zhan readily agreed. "Give me two days."

Mei Yusheng felt relieved, thinking that it was really good to have someone to help her, so she wouldn't be fighting alone.

But what about the lawyer's fees?

She started to worry again, and at this moment she truly realized the importance of money. She regretted that she had been so thoughtless and lacked self-protection awareness in the past.

Even marriage isn't safe, Mei Yusheng laughed at her own naiveté.

"Don't worry about money, I have a secret stash to help you!" Xie Mingqi winked at her. "You can pay me back once you get Lao Yue's assets!"

Mei Yusheng, with tears in her eyes, squeezed Xie Mingqi's hand tightly. Fortunately, she was still by her side; otherwise, she would have had nowhere to turn.

Xie Mingqi offered her analysis: "I think Lao Yue definitely didn't prepare in advance. After all, he thought you wouldn't even dare to say the word 'divorce.' He must have been startled that day and just threatened you on the spot."

Mei Yusheng thought it made sense. In Yue Jiangting's eyes, she was someone he could easily manipulate and could never escape his grasp.

Moreover, although Han Caiyu came to him, Yue Jiangting had no intention of getting a divorce; otherwise, he wouldn't have waited until now.

Even now, Yue Jiangting says Han Caiyu can stay at their house temporarily, and will move out once the house is renovated. She filed for divorce, and he threatened her.

What Yue Jiangting wanted was for his wives and concubines to live together peacefully. Before, one was in the open and the other in the dark, but now that he could no longer hide it, he simply put it out in the open.

He believed he had the ability to control these two women. At most, they would start making a fuss, but it would soon subside, and he could then enjoy a carefree life where he could please everyone.

Hey, dream on!

Although Mei Yusheng is gentle and kind-hearted, she is intolerant of injustice. She would rather throw her husband away than share him with another woman!

Because she felt it was dirty and that her self-esteem was being trampled on, she preferred to readjust to a single life rather than live a life of compromise.

The two women were discussing their options, head to head, when they didn't see a woman barge into the ward.

"Sister Mei, are you feeling better? I've come to visit you!"

Mei Yusheng felt a chill run down her spine; she had developed a stress response to the voice, and her hair stood on end.

"Who let you in?" Mei Yusheng asked sharply, her eyes icy cold. "Get out!"

Han Caiyu seemed not to hear, swaying her hips as she came over, placed the fruit basket in her hand on the table, and looked at Mei Yusheng's face with a smile, "Sister Mei, getting angry makes you age faster, you know."

Mei Yu looked around, looking for something handy to throw to her.

"Sister Mei, I heard you hurt your back, and I was very worried. After all, Brother Jiang Ting hurt you accidentally because of me." Han Caiyu deliberately poked at people's sore spots, with a gloating smile on her exquisitely made-up face. "I apologize to you on behalf of Brother Jiang Ting. You should rest and recover here. Don't worry about home, I'm here for you."

"You!" Mei Yusheng's eyes welled up with tears. "Get out of my house, you shameless woman! You're a mistress and you still have the nerve to act like this!"

"Oh my, what kind of feed made you so shameless!" Xie Mingqi patted Mei Yusheng's hand, signaling her not to get angry. "Other people are prostitutes who still want to maintain a virtuous image, but you're the opposite. You're afraid people won't know you're a prostitute, and you're spreading it around everywhere."

Everyone in the ward was looking this way, and even the nurses slowed down, wanting to have more time to watch the excitement.

Han Caiyu's face changed, and she glanced around guiltily before stubbornly saying, "The one who isn't loved is the mistress! Jiang Ting and I grew up together; we were forced to separate because our parents disapproved. We are true love and have been together for twenty years! You're the one who stole my place and refuses to get a divorce!"

People around them began to whisper among themselves. A woman in a hospital bed by the window couldn't stand it anymore and angrily said, "In this world, mistresses who break up other people's families are more self-righteous than the wives? True love? Ugh! Disgusting!"

Han Caiyu's face darkened. She glared at Mei Yusheng for two seconds, then gave a smug smile: "What's the use of just a marriage certificate? You'll be a man's slave for thirty years and still not get a second glance from him. Don't try to cover your shame with that printed document!"

"Han Caiyu, don't push your luck!" Xie Mingqi wanted to slap that arrogant face twice. "Yue Jiangting has kept you hidden away for twenty years, why won't he marry you? Are you just a plaything in his hands, something he can play with and then throw away?"

Han Caiyu lost face, her expression shifting like a dye vat, black, red, white, and blue, her finger trembling as she pointed at Xie Mingqi: "Who do you think you are? Be careful, I'll tell Brother Jiang Ting, and you'll be in big trouble!"

Xie Mingqi's expression faltered, and her momentum clearly weakened. She was afraid that Yue Jiangting would find out and withdraw the investment from Chen Juansheng, shattering her dream of becoming the principal's wife.

Seeing the situation escalating dangerously, the nurse rushed over to persuade Han Caiyu to leave, fearing they might actually start fighting.

"Get out of here before I make a move!" Xie Mingqi glanced at Mei Yusheng, whose face was pale, and mustered her last bit of courage.

Han Caiyu swayed her hips sullenly and pouted, "Hmph, good intentions gone to waste! Birds of a feather flock together, Sister Mei, with your rudeness, no wonder Brother Jiang Ting doesn't like you. If you ask me, your best friend should also check up on her husband; maybe he can't stand her temper either and is secretly cheating on her, hehe!"

Xie Mingqi was immediately enraged and went to pull Han Caiyu's hair, but was stopped by the nurse.

Seeing that things were not going well, Han Caiyu quickly left the ward, twisting her waist. Xie Mingqi grabbed the fruit basket she had brought and threw it at her back.

The fruit basket tumbled to the ground with a clatter, apples and oranges rolling all over the floor. Han Caiyu's giggling laughter drifted from outside the door, accompanied by the increasingly distant sound of her high heels clicking on the ground.

The ward was quiet for a few seconds. The nurse picked up the fruit from the floor, put it in a basket, and thoughtfully closed the door before leaving.

The other patients also went about their business as if nothing was wrong, occasionally glancing furtively at Mei Yusheng's direction.

"What the hell!" Xie Mingqi trembled with anger. "You're so old that your face is wrinkled enough to trap mosquitoes, yet you're dressed up like a young girl!"

"I'm sorry." Mei Yusheng tugged at Xie Mingqi's arm. "Don't let her words affect you, and don't overthink things."

"It's alright!" Xie Mingqi's voice still carried a hint of anger. "My husband wouldn't do that, I'm sure of it. All the men she's ever met have been jerks, so she thinks all men in the world are the same! With her character, even if she stood right in front of my husband, he wouldn't give her a second glance. There are so many beautiful young girls in his school, and he doesn't even look at them, let alone her!"

Mei Yusheng's face was a little pale, and her chest felt tight and uncomfortable.
