Chen Lan, a former German professor, gave up her career for her son Jiang Wei. She continued to take care of the housework for ten years, but was despised and insulted by her daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and was even considered unreasonable by her son. Frustrated, she regained her identity, used her assets to repossess her property, froze her son's account, revoked her granddaughter's scholarship, and finally returned to the academic field. She gave her erring granddaughter a chance to turn over a new leaf, and she also regained the self-confidence and value she had lost for twenty years, and lived a brand new life.
