Her Scumbag Ex Takes Their Son to Climb the Social Ladder, While the Abandoned Eighties Wife Becomes a Tycoon

[Period setting + father-son regret arc + no golden finger + face-slapping and punishing scumbags + building wealth] Everyone praised Xu Moli for her good fortune: she had a husband studying at university in the provincial capital. But they didn’t know that she’d risked everything to earn him a place at a workers’, peasants’, and soldiers’ university. He, on the other hand, stayed away for three years, then came home with another woman. Xu Moli was so furious she fainted. In a dream, she learned what her husband had planned: He wanted both women. One would play the devoted wife, caring for his parents and raising his son back in the countryside. The other would bring him romance, polish his image in the city, and help him get ahead. Xu Moli woke with a start, immediately divorced him, took the money, and left. Whoever wanted that kind of “good fortune” could have it. She wanted none of it. In her dream, the son she’d raised through years of hardship got into a prestigious university, then made his very first move to cut ties with her and throw himself into the arms of her ex-husband and her third sister. If that was how things were, there was no point fighting for custody. This time, she’d choose the money. Let’s see if the woman her son says is better than her in every way can truly treat him well. With the money her ex-husband’s mistress paid to bail him out, Xu Moli freed herself from an ungrateful, impossible-to-please son. Drawing on what she’d learned in her dream from working odd jobs and running small businesses, she gradually became the richest person in the city, someone her ex-husband and son could never hope to catch up with. In those years, she moved through the world of business, surrounded by countless flowers yet never touched by a single petal. She never imagined that the unattainable beauty she’d hardly dared to dream of would fall right into her lap and refuse to leave. Xu Moli: “This is blatant extortion.”
