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

In the evening, Mei Zichen and Su Wei arrived at the hospital together.

Seeing that Mei Zi's injury had basically stabilized, Mei Yusheng said, "Let's hire a caregiver. Zichen can't keep taking leave; he can't keep enduring this."

“That’s what I said too,” Su Wei glared at Mei Zichen. “He insisted on staying for another week, and he only relented when I said I would go with him.”

Mei Yusheng chuckled inwardly, thinking that Su Wei was indeed the best way to deal with Mei Zichen.

"It's settled then, we'll find a caregiver tomorrow," Mei Yusheng said.

"Dad, Aunt, are you both unwilling to take care of me anymore?" Mei Zi pouted, looking at them with teary eyes. "You've already gotten tired of me after such a short time and are leaving me alone with the caregiver?"

“No, Zizi, we hired a caregiver to take better care of you. Of course we’ll come back.” Mei Zichen quickly reassured her, “Daddy has to go to work the day after tomorrow, or he’ll be fired.”

"So what if you fire me? Doesn't Auntie make a lot of money? Are you worried about not being able to support us?" Mei Zi became even more demanding and coquettish.

"I earn my own money, what obligation do I have to support you?" Mei Yusheng couldn't help but retort. "There's a limit to being willful. If you keep being unreasonable, we won't take care of you! Go and rely on your mother!"

"See, Dad? This is how Aunt bullies me when you're not here!" Mei Zi glanced slyly at Mei Yusheng and complained to Mei Zichen.

“Your aunt is right!” Mei Zichen didn’t spoil her either, knowing that he had spoiled her too much in the past, which made her selfish and snobbish. “Dad can’t lose his job. Now that your injury is basically stable, we don’t need to stay here all day.

Mei Zi stole a glance at Su Wei, her lips twitching almost imperceptibly: "Dad, I don't want to see outsiders here by myself."

Mei Zichen exchanged an apologetic glance with Su Wei, then said coldly to Mei Zi, "There are no outsiders here! If you continue to be so disrespectful, Dad will leave."

Su Wei smiled indifferently: "Mei Zi, I understand how you feel, but you should take care of yourself and not interfere with your father's life."

Mei Zichen walked to Su Wei's side and quietly took her hand: "I'm sorry..."

“It’s nothing,” Su Wei smiled at him and whispered, “Mei Zi is just competing with me for favor.”

Mei Yusheng also felt helpless and walked out of the hospital with her lunchbox.

When I got home, I saw that Qin Chu had just finished cooking and was still wearing an apron around his waist.

"Sister, I was just about to call you. Brother Zichen said when he left that you should come back soon." Qin Chu took the lunchbox from Mei Yusheng and carried it into the kitchen.

"I had a few words with Mei Zi; she's always been very resistant to Su Wei." Mei Yusheng sighed and changed into a comfortable set of home clothes.

"Auntie! Youyou went out to fly a kite today, look!" Youyou stood up from his high chair and proudly showed Meiyu a large, soft-winged bee to her. "My sister bought it for me!"

"Youyou can fly a big soft-winged kite now, that's amazing!" Mei Yusheng exclaimed.

Zhou Xia followed with a smile: "Aunt Mei, Youyou is really good now. He can fly the kite so high and steadily, which attracts a lot of children in the community courtyard."

Youyou chatted happily about her kite-flying experiences, while Meiyu smiled gently, looking at Youyou and Zhou Xia with a sense of joy and peace in her heart.

"Hurry up and eat, the food is getting cold," Qin Chu urged.

At the dinner table, He Qingmin inquired about Mei Zi's condition. After hearing Mei Yusheng's account, He Qingmin said bitterly, "I originally planned to bring her here after she was discharged from the hospital, but she still doesn't know any better. If she affects Zichen and Su Wei's relationship, it's better to just ignore her."

Mei Yusheng was also in a dilemma. Chen Yue was in the detention center and it seemed that he would be sentenced. Apart from her, Mei Zi seemed to have nowhere else to go.

“Sister, don’t worry, we’ll let Meizi go back to her own home in Nanli Garden.” Qin Chu said, “I have someone investigate Zhao Fusheng and his son and have obtained evidence of their fraudulent loan schemes. We can negotiate with them and force them to drop the charges against Chen Yue.”

He spoke these words calmly, startling Mei Yusheng so much that she opened her mouth wide and forgot to eat: "You, when did you do these things?"

Qin Chu smiled and said, "I had someone do it the day Mei Zi was injured. As for Chen Yue, she is a victim, so we can't let the Zhao family father and son get away with it."

Mei Yusheng felt a pang of sadness; Qin Chu was making amends to Mei Zi out of guilt.

The Zhao family father and son acted so discreetly that even the police couldn't find a trace. It's hard to imagine the manpower and financial resources required to uncover all of this.

"Thank you, my dear child!" He Qingmin said gratefully, her eyes brimming with tears. "You always think of us so thoughtfully."

“Mom, we’ve been family for a long time, why are we still being so formal?” Qin Chu looked at He Qingmin earnestly. “I’ve never had a family since I was little. It’s only because of you that I’ve felt the warmth of family again.”

Mei Yusheng quietly wiped away the tears that had fallen unintentionally and smiled, "That's good. Chen Yue can take care of Mei Zi now that he's out. Zichen and I just need to visit her from time to time."

After the family finished their meal in a happy atmosphere, Mei Yusheng insisted on washing the dishes, while Qin Chu followed her into the kitchen. Unable to help, he just chatted idly on the side.

“Chen Yue’s online loan is a bit troublesome. Since it’s registered under her real name, the platform will definitely contact her. I’ll see if I can get the Zhao family to make up for the money.”

Mei Yusheng pondered for a moment and said, "If it doesn't work, then forget it. Letting Chen Yue be free of trouble might cause her to cause trouble, or she might think that everything was resolved too easily and then not know how to be grateful or restrained."

“Alright,” Qin Chu said with a smile, “Anyway, debt collection from online lenders is just a civil dispute, and it won’t land you in jail, so let her be.”

Mei Yusheng then told him about Han Caiyu's car accident and Sun Yi's apology, which surprised Qin Chu.

"Sun Yi is taking care of Han Caiyu? It seems Yue Jiangting has new plans." Qin Chu stroked his chin, deep in thought.

Then she looked at Mei Yusheng nervously and said, "Sister, you must be careful of Yue Jiangting. He may have ill intentions."

Mei Yusheng frowned, remembering Yue Jiangting's nonsense about "remarriage," and remained silent.

Not wanting Qin Chu to worry, she secretly became more vigilant. She simply couldn't understand Yue Jiangting's thought process. He hadn't cared about her for thirty years, so why had he suddenly become obsessed with her after the divorce?

She didn't believe Yue Jiangting's claim that Han Caiyu and her ex-husband had reconciled. Given Sun Yi's current situation, Han Caiyu would probably avoid him like the plague.

Suddenly, something occurred to her, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

“I understand. Yue Jiangting didn’t want to be entangled with a wife in a vegetative state, so he framed Han Caiyu for her relationship with her ex-husband, and with the existence of Sun Chengzhi, he used this as grounds for divorce, instantly making him the victim.” Mei Yusheng gave a sarcastic smile. “Only now do I truly see Yue Jiangting for who he really is.”

"It's never too late to see things clearly," Qin Chu comforted him gently. "He'll definitely be resentful to see that you're living a wonderful life after your divorce."

Seeing that Mei Yusheng had washed his hands, he handed him a clean towel and said, "Fortunately, it won't take long before he's too busy to take care of himself."

Looking at the meaningful smile on his face, Mei Yusheng didn't ask any more questions. She trusted him, and her heart immediately felt at ease.

Youyou still slept with He Qingmin. Qin Chu received a phone call and hurriedly returned to his own place.

Mei Yusheng went up to the second floor and found Zhou Xia waiting for her in front of the study.

"Xiaxia, are you worried about your mother's case?" Mei Yusheng asked, pulling her into the study. "It will probably take some time before there are any results."

“I’m not worried,” Zhou Xia said, her eyes shining as she looked at the books on the bookshelf. “Aunt Mei, I’ve made up my mind. I plan to retake the college entrance exam.”
