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

Mei Yusheng and Shen Yingying arranged a time and place, and she deliberately stayed a little late because she wanted to go back and see her mother.

"Daughter-in-law? I doubt he's here to persuade you." Xie Mingqi curled her lips in a mocking smile. "Old Yue really went to great lengths, he almost called me. But I guess he's already given up on me."

Her tone was somewhat disappointed and unwilling, even tinged with resentment.

“Don’t worry, Qin Chu promised me that he will invest in an experimental building for Lao Chen’s school by the end of the year,” Mei Yusheng said softly.

"What?! Really?!" Xie Mingqi exclaimed, her eyes wide as she stared intently at Mei Yusheng's face. "You're not kidding me, are you? Really?"

"Watch where you're going!" Mei Yusheng hurriedly reminded her, "You're driving!"

Xie Mingqi abruptly turned the steering wheel and pulled the car over to the side of the road. Her eyes gleamed as she stared at her: "Say it again, Qin Chu is going to invest in Lao Chen?"

Mei Yusheng smiled helplessly: "Yes, he told me as soon as you left that day. Aren't you afraid of getting a ticket for parking here? Go on your way."

"Hey! What's a ticket!" Xie Mingqi waved her hand casually, her face full of surprise. "Why didn't you tell me sooner? You made me depressed for so many days!"

Mei Yusheng couldn't repeat Qin Chu's exact words to her, lest she lose face. One shouldn't look directly into someone's eyes, or it would be awkward for both of them.

"I had too many worries, I just forgot," Mei Yusheng said dismissively.

Xie Mingqi clicked her tongue with satisfaction: "Qin Chu is so generous, he just gave me a whole experimental building. I'll tell Lao Chen right away and make him happy too."

As she reached for her phone, Mei Yusheng checked the time and urged, "Let's talk about it when we get home. Hurry up and take me home. I need to prepare dinner for my mother and go see Xuanxuan."

Xie Mingqi gave her a reproachful look: "You're such a busy person!"

He then started the car: "Go back and check on your aunt, tell her not to worry. I'll stay and have lunch with her, so you can go to your appointment without worry."

Mei Yusheng was overjoyed: "Thank you so much, it's all thanks to you!"

"Don't be shy with me!" Xie Mingqi's smile was harder to suppress than an AK. "From now on, I'll be your little follower, always at your beck and call!"

Mei Yusheng chuckled and stopped talking. She sent a message to her mother: "Mom, Zichen is fine. Don't worry. Mingqi and I will be back soon."

He Qingmin replied almost instantly: "Okay, I'm fine. Don't rush, drive slowly."

Mei Yusheng put down her phone, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

Xuanxuan's adorable little face appeared before my eyes, and my nose felt a little sore.

These days she hasn't dared to think about Xuanxuan, afraid that if she does, she won't be able to stop herself from going back to see him.

He Qingmin waited in the courtyard. As soon as Mei Yusheng entered the courtyard, she immediately wheeled herself over to greet her.

Xie Mingqi ran over first, went around to the back of the wheelchair and pushed her.

Mei Yusheng held her mother's hand, her gaze scrutinizing her face for a moment. Seeing the tear stains on her face, her heart ached: "Mom, I told you to wait inside, why did you come out?"

"What's wrong with Zichen?" He Qingmin stared anxiously at Mei Yusheng.

"It's alright now. Qin Chu bailed him out, and he's already home with Chen Yue." Mei Yusheng gently tucked a stray hair behind He Qingmin's ear. "Don't worry, he'll be fine."

"That bastard Yue Jiangting! He's been having an affair behind your back, and now he's had Zichen arrested. What is he trying to do?" He Qingmin pounded on the armrests of her wheelchair in anger. "He did something to betray us first, and now he thinks he's right!"

"Mom, don't get sick over that bastard, it's not worth it!" Mei Yusheng said, trying to hold back the tears welling up in her eyes.

"Auntie, don't be angry! That bastard Yue won't get away with this!" Xie Mingqi chimed in indignantly. "If you ask me, let him lock up with his mistress. Before long, he'll regret it to the core. That mistress is no pushover. Let her fight with that old woman and make a scene. Then that old bastard will realize how good Yusheng is."

Mei Yusheng didn't care at all that Yue Jiangting saw her good qualities. What could someone who was born blind and heartless expect?

Now she just wants to divorce Yue Jiangting as soon as possible and have nothing to do with each other.

From the moment she decided to expose the video, she didn't expect to get any compensation from Yue Jiangting. He had repeatedly delayed and played tricks before, so she knew he was a stingy miser; he probably couldn't sleep because of the villa, let alone give her any more money.

Mei Yusheng finally let go of her inhibitions and released her inner obsessions.

Can the loss of thirty years of youth be compensated by hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars?

Getting it was just a matter of venting my anger.

But does Yue Jiangting really care about that money?

No, he spent far more than hundreds of thousands or millions on Han Caiyu!

Ultimately, it's just that I feel she's not worth it!

Once I understood, the sound of the plum rain subsided, but a sense of desolation gripped my heart. I felt that the days I had lived before were truly worthless, both to myself and others.

The reason why this happened cannot be entirely blamed on others; she herself is the culprit!

Therefore, she now has an urgent desire to sever ties with Yue Jiangting as soon as possible and restart her life, even if she is over fifty, it is not too late.

Some say: As long as wrinkles don't appear in your heart, you won't grow old.

She was convinced.

Having made up her mind, she comforted her mother for a few moments, pushed her back into the house, gave Xie Mingqi a few instructions, and then came out.

"Don't you need me to take you?" Xie Mingqi caught up a few steps.

"No need." Mei Yusheng didn't even turn her head. "You taking good care of my mother is already a huge help to me."

Xie Mingqi went back with a smile. Ever since she learned that Qin Chu had invested in Lao Chen, her smile had never faded.

Mei Yusheng walked out of the residential area, hailed a taxi on the main road, and arrived at the restaurant where she had arranged to meet Shen Yingying.

This is a tastefully decorated Western restaurant, where Shen Yingying and Xuanxuan are already waiting.

"grandmother!"

As the sound of the rain approached, she could hear Xuanxuan's innocent call from afar. Her heart instantly turned into a soft, sticky, and lingering milk paste.

Mei Yusheng opened her arms and hugged the little dumpling who rushed towards her. Her pink and soft face was so tender that she couldn't get enough of kissing her. Tears streamed down Mei Yusheng's face without her noticing.

"Grandma, why are you crying?" Xuanxuan's delicate fingers slid across her cheek, wiping away her tears.

"Grandma is so happy to see Xuanxuan!" Mei Yusheng kissed the soft little finger with her lips, her heart melting. "Xuanxuan, did you miss Grandma? Did you eat well? How was kindergarten? Were you bullied by the other children?"

"I miss Grandma," Xuanxuan said, blinking her big, grape-like eyes, complaining to her grandma with a pitiful expression, "Pipi at kindergarten always steals my cookies!"

Mei Yusheng looked at her grandson with tears in her eyes and a smile on her face. She smelled his sweet scent and hugged him tightly, never wanting to let go of him in this lifetime.

"Mom, put him down. This child has gotten fatter and is very heavy!" Shen Yingying reached out to take Xuanxuan, but Mei Yusheng dodged her hand and sat down in her seat with the child in her arms.

“It won’t be heavy when you’re sitting down,” Mei Yusheng said, her eyes still fixed on Xuanxuan, not even glancing at Shen Yingying.

Shen Yingying smiled helplessly, knowing that she missed her child too much, and didn't press the matter further.

The waiter came over and handed over the menu.

"Mom, what would you like to eat?" She handed the menu to Mei Yusheng.

"Just keep an eye on it," Mei Yusheng said without even glancing at him. "Oh, and don't forget to order Xuanxuan's favorite caramel pudding."

Shen Yingying first ordered two steak rice dishes and one pasta dish, and then, after thinking for a moment, she also ordered foie gras steak, apple salad, and crème brûlée.

As the dishes were served one by one, Mei Yusheng kept talking quietly with Xuanxuan, while Shen Yingying sat patiently opposite her with a smile.

When Xuanxuan saw the pudding, his attention was quickly drawn to the food.

Mei Yu looked at him with doting eyes, unable to get enough of him.

"Mom, have some too, don't just think about Xuanxuan." Shen Yingying pushed the foie gras steak in front of Mei Yusheng. "If you miss the child, go home."

Mei Yusheng's expression froze, and the hand holding the knife and fork stopped in mid-air.
