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

Chen Yue hung up Mei Yusheng's call and looked timidly at Yue Jiangting: "Brother-in-law, I'll ask Mei Yusheng to come out and talk to her slowly. It's not clear over the phone, and it's easy for her to refuse. It will be difficult to ask her out again."

Yue Jiangting revealed his blue teeth and gave a sinister smile: "Hmm, you're smarter than Mei Zichen. Alright, I'll leave this to you. As long as Mei Yusheng releases the clarification video, I'll release Mei Zichen immediately, and I won't shortchange you on anything I promised."

Chen Yue's palms were sweating as she gripped her phone. After a few minutes, Mei Yusheng called. She flinched nervously and quickly answered.

They agreed to meet at the police station entrance, and Chen Yue hurriedly ran out.

Yue Jiangting stared at her retreating figure with a dark expression until it disappeared. He reached up and ripped the blood-stained tissue out of his nose, angrily threw it into the trash can, and then picked up the phone to call Yue Guangzhi.

“Dad, I haven’t had a chance to tell you yet. I spent a lot of money to hire people to remove some of the videos. I just can’t keep up with the pressure!” Yue Guangzhi’s frustrated voice came through the phone. “And my mom, she’s completely unreasonable. She just hangs up on me and won’t answer my calls. I’m afraid she’ll block me too, so I haven’t dared to push her too hard.”

Yue Jiangting pinched his brow in frustration. It was something he expected, but it still made him anxious. "Alright, I understand. I'll think of another way. If it can't be suppressed, don't waste money!"

"Dad, I've already talked to Yingying. She's taking the afternoon off and will be having dinner with my mom tonight, bringing Xuanxuan along. My mom will definitely go with Xuanxuan. We'll talk about it later."

Yue Jiangting hung up the phone and stared at the several missed calls. None of them were important people, so there was no need to call back.

After staring at it for a long time, besides the initial annoyance, a sense of fear suddenly rose in my heart.

In the past, if something like this had happened, some leaders would definitely have called to inquire, or even reprimanded him.

The unusual quiet now sends a very unusual signal.

He may have been abandoned, or he may no longer be the only option.

He recalled a message someone in the city had secretly told him: future projects would be awarded through bidding, with the most capable winning.

As for who is the capable one, there are many intricacies involved.

He hated the sound of the plum rain even more!

Unyielding to reason or persuasion, Mei Yusheng, how dare she kick him while he's down at this crucial moment! No, she personally pushed him into the well!

He absolutely cannot let her get away with this!

Thinking of Mei Zichen again, he clenched his teeth. It would be better to send Mei Zichen in and lock him up for a longer time, or better yet, send him straight to work on a sewing machine!

He touched his nose; the injury was still a bit minor, but he couldn't bear to suffer any more. Oh well, he'd figure out a solution later.

……

On the way, Xie Mingqi sighed, "Your actions have certainly ruined Yue Jiangting's reputation, but it may not have any other impact. What if it leads to Zichen being arrested? Do you think it's worth it?"

Upon hearing this, Mei Yusheng knew that she still harbored resentment. At that moment, she was in a state of turmoil and did not want to explain to her.

Mei Zichen is almost fifty years old, yet he still acts so impulsively. Mei Yusheng's heart was in her throat, wondering how much he had hurt Yue Jiangting.

Upon meeting Chen Yue, he didn't have time to say much and hurriedly ran into the police station.

The police said the other party was unwilling to settle and would likely be detained for a few days and fined.

"What should we do?" Chen Yue asked anxiously, her voice trembling with tears. "Sister, please think of something! Can you please ask your husband for help?"

Mei Yusheng's face turned pale, and she bit her lip: "Yue Jiangting is too badly injured to get out of bed?"

Chen Yue paused for a moment: "No, that's not the case."

"How badly did it go?" Mei Yusheng stared intently at her.

"I just had a little nosebleed," Chen Yue said weakly. "My nose bridge shouldn't be broken."

"Ha!" Mei Yu chuckled softly, "I thought he was going to die!"

Xie Mingqi picked up her phone and made a few calls, but finally shook her head at Mei Yusheng: "I just called Lao Chen and two friends, but none of them know anyone in the police station."

They can't even see Mei Zichen anymore. Mei Yusheng felt a wave of despair. Is there no other way but to ask Yue Jiangting for help?

"Sister, what exactly did you say to Zichen?" Chen Yue asked Mei Yusheng angrily, her eyes red. "He ignored everything I said. Even threatening him with divorce didn't work. He was only thinking about getting revenge for you!"

Mei Yusheng fell silent. Chen Yue was furious. She could understand, but she hadn't expected Mei Zichen to suddenly act so drastically.

"Now look what's happened! Yue Jiangting is going to fire Zichen. If he has a criminal record, his life is over!" Chen Yue's voice rose unconsciously. "Sister, is this the result you wanted? I can understand that you're unwilling to compromise and insist on a divorce, but why did you expose those videos online? Yue Jiangting's image is ruined. Do you think you've gained anything from that?"

"Do you have to fight to the death to feel satisfied? I think you two siblings are the same, reckless and brainless! Wouldn't it be better if you used these videos to blackmail Yue Jiangting and get him to give you more money? If you expose him, at most you'll be cursed behind your back for a few days. There are more and more people cheating these days, and it's even more common for successful men to cheat, don't you understand? On the contrary, those who don't cheat are seen as monsters!"

"Yue Jiangting just said that he's going to fire Mei Zichen, and that Mei Zi and I will lose our jobs too!" Chen Yue spoke so fast that Mei Yusheng couldn't get a word in edgewise. "I don't care. I'm telling you this today: if you don't resolve this, I'm really going to divorce Mei Zichen. I can't let you drag Mei Zi and me down with us and make us lose our jobs too!"

Chen Yue deliberately left Mei Yusheng helpless in the police station, making her anxious and flustered, which made it easier to persuade her.

"Sister, I'm begging you," Chen Yue grabbed Mei Yusheng's hand, bent down and tilted his head slightly, "For Zichen's sake, please take a step back and beg your brother-in-law to clarify things online. He'll definitely let Zichen off the hook. You know, he's only refusing to reconcile because he's angry with you. You can't just stand by and watch Zichen go to jail, can you?"

Mei Yusheng looked at Chen Yue helplessly. When she uttered the word "clarify," it became clear that Chen Yue was also a persuader for Yue Jiangting, just like Yue Guangzhi.

But she couldn't bring herself to refuse outright, yet she was also unwilling to agree.

My heart was being torn apart by two forces, and Mei Yusheng burst into tears.

“Yusheng, let it go, don’t make things worse.” Xie Mingqi tugged at Mei Yusheng’s sleeve and whispered, “We can’t just watch Zichen suffer, can we? You know how ruthless Yue Jiangting is. If he really does something to Zichen and leaves a criminal record on his file, things will be complicated. Zichen will never be able to find a decent job in his life.”

Mei Yusheng's heart pounded wildly; she clutched her chest and took a deep breath.

Chen Yue and Xie Mingqi both looked at her with hopeful eyes.

Mei Yusheng took out her phone and dialed a number.

Chen Yue thought it was a call to Yue Jiangting, and his face immediately lit up with joy.

Xie Mingqi frowned in confusion.

"Are you free right now? I need your help with something." Mei Yusheng's face flushed slightly.

"Sister, what happened? Your voice doesn't sound right!"

Qin Chu's clear voice was like a spring in the desert, instantly relieving Mei Yusheng's dry throat.

She whispered to him about Mei Zichen.

"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. I'll bail him out. Just wait patiently, I'll be there soon!"

Qin Chu's reassuring words put Mei Yusheng at ease, and her heart immediately calmed down.

"Sis, who are you calling? Isn't it your husband?" Chen Yue looked at Mei Yusheng suspiciously.

"Qin Zhan or Qin Chu?" Xie Mingqi's eyes flashed with an unusual look.

"Qin Chu said he could bail Zichen out, let's wait and see."

Seeing that he hadn't achieved his goal, Chen Yue became anxious: "Sister, who is that person? Does he think everything will be fine just because he bailed Zichen out? There's still a fine, and brother-in-law said he'd fire him! You should just ask brother-in-law directly, why go through all this trouble?"
