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

As soon as Xie Mingqi opened her eyes, her right eyelid started twitching incessantly, and she immediately became anxious.

She firmly believes in the saying that a twitching left eye means good fortune and a twitching right eye means bad luck, and in her fifty-three years of life experience, it has always been very accurate.

After much thought, nothing else has happened recently except for the sound of the plum rains.

Did Yuejiang Pavilion discover it?

She suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. What should she do?

If Yue Jiangting found out that she was secretly helping Mei Yusheng to deal with him, wouldn't he tear her apart?

The more she thought about it, the more alarmed she became. These past few days, she had been busy giving Mei Yusheng advice and finding ways to help him, and had long since forgotten Yue Jiangting's warning.

It's not that I completely forgot, but I couldn't resist the urge to try it out, so I deliberately put it out of my mind.

It was Mei Yusheng who was determined to get a divorce, not her who instigated it. She even advised Mei Yusheng to pretend that nothing had happened and continue living together.

If Yue Jiangting confronts him, he will say that he has been trying to persuade Mei Yusheng, but she refuses to listen.

Yue Jiangting was unaware that Chen Juansheng knew Qin Zhan. After all, Qin Zhan had graduated five years ago and was not a student directly taught by Chen Juansheng. She could simply say that Mei Yusheng had found the law firm himself.

She was certain that Mei Yusheng wouldn't say anything detrimental to her.

But why is my right eyelid twitching so much this morning?

She seemed distracted. Chen Juansheng glanced at her and teased, "You're supposed to be a professor's wife, and people will laugh at you for being so superstitious."

"Who dares to laugh at me?" Xie Mingqi rolled her eyes at him. "Most people claim to believe in science, but they're actually superstitious. It's just the pot calling the kettle black!"

Unable to eat breakfast in peace, Xie Mingqi simply skipped it and went back to her bedroom to call Mei Yusheng.

Mei Yusheng had already woken up and was lying on her back in bed, lost in thought, listening to the voices of the nanny, her daughter-in-law, and Xuanxuan outside.

She really wanted to go out and hug Xuanxuan. She would be leaving this home soon, and she wouldn't have many more chances to hug him in the future.

But she was afraid to go out and see Yue Jiangting, and she was also afraid that once she held that soft and sweet little body, she wouldn't be able to make up her mind to leave.

While I was struggling with this internal conflict, I received a call from Xie Mingqi.

"Rain, did you have anything to do when you got back yesterday? You didn't call me last night."

Mei Yu lowered her voice: "Something came up. I'll call you back after they've all left."

Xie Mingqi's heart skipped a beat: "What's wrong? Did he find out?"

"Hmm," Mei Yusheng responded with only one sound.

"Oh? So fast!" Xie Mingqi exclaimed. "You don't need to call, I'll come to your house right away."

"No!" Mei Yusheng quickly stopped her. She wasn't sure if Yue Jiangting was going to work today, or if he was monitoring her at home. "Go to Blue Crystal Coffee Shop and wait for me."

After hanging up the phone, Mei Yusheng got up and dressed. Shen Yingying knocked on the door and came in: "Mom, breakfast is ready."

She nervously observed Mei Yusheng's expression: "Shall I bring it in for you?"

“No need,” Mei Yusheng shook her head. “I’ll eat out.”

Before Shen Yingying could react, Mei Yusheng had already passed her and gone outside.

Upon entering the living room, they were directly confronted by Yuejiang Pavilion, and both of them paused for a moment in surprise.

Mei Yusheng picked up her bag and walked straight to the door, ignoring him completely.

"Stop right there! Where are you going?" Yue Jiangting shouted sternly. "You're not going anywhere! Stay home, do you hear me!"

Mei Yusheng continued changing her shoes without turning her head: "I can go wherever I want, it's none of your business! Are you trying to confine me?"

She slammed the door shut, completely ignoring Yue Jiangting's dark expression behind her.

Breathing in the fresh morning air, Mei Yusheng let out a long sigh of relief.

She deliberately ran away while her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson were all at home. Even if Yue Jiangting was unwilling, he couldn't use violence to stop her.

She was afraid that if they were alone at home, he might do something crazy.

It seems I really can't go back home!

The coffee shop had just opened, and the staff were busy cleaning when they were surprised to see Mei Yusheng enter.

Mei Yusheng chose a seat by the window, ordered a latte and a small cake, and sat quietly waiting for Xie Mingqi.

I didn't eat dinner last night, and now I feel hungry.

Ten minutes later, Xie Mingqi arrived and carefully examined Mei Yusheng's face: "Did you have insomnia again last night? How did he find out?"

Mei Yusheng's lips curled into a faint smile. To be honest, the more she thought about it, the more horrified she felt. Yue Jiangting was simply perceptive to the point of being abnormal.

"I don't know, or maybe his nose is like a dog's and he caught the scent of a stranger?"

"Huh?" Xie Mingqi opened her mouth in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Mei Yusheng recounted the events of the previous night in detail, and Xie Mingqi became increasingly alarmed as she listened: "Did he really agree to your request so readily?"

“He’s probably just trying to appease me temporarily,” Mei Yusheng said, taking a sip of coffee and slowly eating her cake. “He’ll definitely try to negotiate with me again.”

Xie Mingqi frowned deeply: "Yusheng, you're really bold. You just directly broke ties with him, and he still let you out?"

"He actually wanted to put me under house arrest!" Mei Yusheng was still a little scared when she recalled what had just happened. "I forced my way out while Xuanxuan and the others were at home."

"So, you're not going back?" Xie Mingqi asked uncertainly.

Mei Yusheng nodded.

Just as Xie Mingqi was about to say something, her phone rang. She glanced at it and her face turned pale.

He glanced guiltily at Mei Yusheng, stood up with his phone in hand, covered the microphone, and walked out while answering the call.

Mei Yusheng followed her with a puzzled look in her eyes.

Xie Mingqi's heart was in her throat as she listened to Yue Jiangting's sinister voice across from her: "It seems you've already forgotten what I said. Do you think I'm easy to fool, or do you think I'm incapable of dealing with you?"

"No, no! President Yue, you've misunderstood. I really didn't help Yusheng; I even tried to persuade her!" Xie Mingqi hurriedly clarified. "But you know Yusheng. She's stubborn and won't give up until she hits a wall. Once she's made up her mind, nothing can change it. I've been trying to persuade her until my throat is dry these past few days, but she just won't listen!"

"Hey, don't try to fool me!" Yue Jiangting sneered. "If it weren't for you, how could she have found someone to help her? Tell me, who exactly is it?"

Xie Mingqi's hand trembled as she held the phone: "She found a law firm herself to consult about divorce matters, I don't even know which one it was..."

"Give me the phone number of that law firm, or I'll give the investment to Old Chen's rival!"

"No! President Yue!" Xie Mingqi cried out nervously, only to hear a dial tone coming from the other end.

She stood there absentmindedly for a long time, holding the microphone, and only when she saw Mei Yusheng stand up to come out did she reluctantly move her stiff legs and walk back.

Facing Mei Yusheng's questioning gaze, she forced an awkward smile: "It's nothing, it's just, it's just..."

"Did that old bastard Yue Jiangting threaten you?" Mei Yusheng's sharp eyes pierced straight into her heart.

Tears welled up in Xie Mingqi's eyes, and she pulled out a tissue to cover them. "I'm sorry, Yusheng, I... I can't let you stay in the rented house anymore. I... Lao Yue just asked me to give him Lawyer Qin's phone number."

Mei Yusheng's fingers tightened suddenly around the coffee cup, her knuckles turning white, and her eyes almost spitting fire: "That old bastard! You don't need to be afraid of him!"

Xie Mingqi regretted it deeply. She should have advised Mei Yusheng to be more patient. There were still more than three months until the end of the year, and they could have gotten a divorce after the election.

She covered her eyes with a tissue, her mind racing, searching for a way out.

"Mingqi, give me the key to the bank safe deposit box. I'm going to rent a place to live."
