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

With Han Caiyu's arrival at Yue Jiangting's home, a strange atmosphere suddenly arose.

While pestering Han Caiyu to teach her how to do makeup and dress up, Xu Yanping also started to act like a mother-in-law and began to criticize, no longer the close and accommodating woman she had been a while ago.

Shen Yingying and Yue Guangzhi felt at ease leaving Xuanxuan in Han Caiyu's care, but Han Caiyu started making various excuses, saying she didn't have time to pick up and drop off the child, so they had to find their own solution.

Han Caiyu was convinced that Mei Yusheng had been completely kicked out and that she had become the mistress of the house. She began to boss around the nanny, Xiao Zhao, saying that Xiao Zhao was not as diligent as her previous nanny.

Yue Jiangting originally thought that with Mei Yusheng gone and Han Caiyu moving in, he should be satisfied with his wish fulfilled. However, he always felt that something was wrong, as if something was missing from the house.

He attributed this strange feeling to the threatening tone of the rain.

He hired the best private investigator, but the results of the investigation only gave him more headaches.

The man was indeed Qin Chu, and Qin Chu was also a major shareholder of Dongsheng Hotel. In addition, he had some other investments elsewhere.

He lives a very low-key life, but his strength is unfathomable.

Another piece of news terrified him: a private investigator discovered that Qin Zhan, the lawyer hired by Mei Yusheng, suspected that he had some kind of kinship with the newly appointed Secretary Qin, but they couldn't find out the specifics.

So who was Qin Chu?

They both have the surname Qin, so what is his relationship with Secretary Qin?

He felt like he had kicked a hornet's nest. Mei Yusheng must know what was going on, otherwise she wouldn't have the confidence to make such an exorbitant demand of him.

The thought of the ledger falling into Qin Chu's hands sent a chill down her spine.

Qin Chu definitely left a copy. Even if he gave Mei Yusheng five million, Qin Chu will always hold onto this weakness and strike him hard whenever he feels like it.

A Damocles' sword will forever hang over his head, ready to fall and sever his head at any moment.

Even after he gave the money to Mei Yusheng, Qin Chu would immediately launch an attack on him.

What to do? He couldn't just sit and wait to die, but he couldn't think of a solution.

Yue Jiangting's face was gloomy from morning till night, and his temper became unpredictable. Even Xiao Xuanxuan instinctively avoided him.

He gradually shifted his anger to Han Caiyu. If she hadn't gone to Mei Yusheng, Mei Yusheng wouldn't have threatened to divorce her, she wouldn't have stolen the account book, Qin Chu wouldn't have taken it, and he wouldn't be in this predicament now.

He had already promised her that he would divorce his wife and marry her in six months. How could she not even have this much patience, and not even this much trust in him?

Han Caiyu felt a chill run down her spine under Yue Jiangting's eerie gaze and asked fearfully, "Brother Jiangting? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Yue Jiangting abruptly withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "It's nothing."

He went into the study and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.

Han Caiyu's face paled, and her eyes flickered uneasily.

"Did you make my son angry?" Xu Yanping's cloudy eyes suddenly came close to her face, startling Han Caiyu into screaming.

"What are you doing?" Xu Yanping flipped her loose eyelids; she had applied too much eyeshadow, making her entire eye area look dark. Luckily, it was daytime and the sun was shining brightly; if it were nighttime under the moonlight, it would have scared Han Caiyu out of her wits.

"How could I possibly make Brother Jiang Ting angry?" Han Caiyu composed herself and curled her lip in disdain. "He must have been angered by Mei Yusheng. Asking for ten million right off the bat, doesn't he care about shortening her lifespan?"

"Exactly!" Xu Yanping shared her sentiment. "If you ask me, we shouldn't give her a single penny! What has she done to have the nerve to ask for so much money? My son gives her 20,000 a month, and that's barely enough for household expenses; the rest goes into her pocket. Over the past twenty years, who knows how much she's saved. She's insatiably greedy, and she even has the nerve to ask for ten million after the divorce!"

Xu Yanping forgot that Yue Jiangting paid Mei Yusheng 20,000 yuan a month, but that was only in recent years; there was never that much before.

The family's food, clothing, and daily necessities all came from this 20,000 yuan. Xu Yanping would also occasionally buy things like sea cucumber, bird's nest, and ginseng. Mei Yusheng herself couldn't even afford to buy a piece of clothing, and by the end of the month, they were still struggling to make ends meet.

"Give her so much!" Han Caiyu bit her lip lightly, her eyes showing resentment. "If it weren't for Brother Jiang Ting, could she live such a good life? And she's still not satisfied!"

She didn't say that Yue Jiangting gave her 100,000 yuan in pocket money every month, not counting the hundreds of thousands he would spend on bags, clothes and cosmetics.

In Han Caiyu's mind, every penny Mei Yusheng spent was stolen from her.

"By the way, why didn't you pick up Xuanxuan at noon?" Xu Yanping suddenly remembered, rolling her eyes at Han Caiyu. "That's my precious great-grandson. Since you're going to come into this family, you have to take good care of Xuanxuan. Otherwise, I'll be the first to object!"

Han Caiyu's expression froze, but she forced a smile and said, "Mom, I went shopping with you to buy clothes. I was worried we'd be back late, so I didn't pick him up. I cherish Xuanxuan like the apple of my eye, how could I not pick him up? I'll tell Yingying later that I'll pick him up this afternoon!"

"That's more like it. You can't be lazy. When Mei Yusheng was here, we didn't even have a nanny. We didn't have to worry about anything at home." Xu Yanping grumbled as she went back to her room for a nap.

Han Caiyu glared resentfully at her retreating figure, gritting her teeth inwardly: "Old hag, why aren't you dead yet!"

Yue Jiangting paced back and forth in his study, a cigarette dangling from his lips, his face grim. Ever since Mei Yusheng started talking about divorce, his brow had never unfurrowed.

He also wanted to end the matter as soon as possible, but he felt bad about giving Mei Yusheng so much money for nothing, and he didn't dare to reveal the news of the divorce at such a critical time.

As soon as the news of the divorce comes out, there will definitely be busybodies who will immediately dig up his affair and exploit it, ruining his image in front of the new leadership.

He did make a lot of money over the past twenty years, and even if the company went bankrupt, he wouldn't lose money.

But who would give up something that makes money? And who would complain about making even more money?

He's only in his fifties, middle-aged, and can still work hard for another twenty years!

When he told Han Caiyu that he couldn't do it, he was just making excuses for her; he never admitted that he was old.

The most urgent task is to resolve the problem of Mei Yu's voice so that his life and career can continue to move towards glory.

Two days passed quickly, and he worried about what the plum rains might do.

A crazy idea lingered in his mind: he was betting that Mei Yusheng wouldn't dare or couldn't bear to kill him completely.

The reason is his son and grandson!

He believed he understood Mei Yusheng quite well. Although this period had been somewhat beyond his expectations, Mei Yusheng couldn't possibly completely ignore his children and grandchildren, especially Xuanxuan.

But the thought of Qin Chu's unfathomable gaze sent a chill down his spine.

That man looked like someone you didn't want to mess with. Even if Mei Yusheng did nothing, Qin Chu could still make him suffer a terrible fate.

Yue Jiangting shivered, glanced at his watch. It was 3:20 PM, one day before the deadline Mei Yusheng had mentioned.

That's enough, enough for him to orchestrate a plan that will force Mei Yusheng to surrender!
