Spring Comes Again at Middle Age

share time: 2025-11-28 00:31:51

40-year-old Lin Shen has given his all to his family: funding his brother’s postgraduate studies, paying off his father’s million-yuan gambling debts, even giving his startup shares to his brother-in-law. But at his mother’s birthday banquet, Lin Hao—his “obedient” adopted son of ten years—suddenly bursts into tears, accusing him of “embezzling the family’s life-saving money for a woman outside.” His wife pulls out “flirty messages” from his phone (faked by Lin Hao), his parents grab brooms and call him an “ungrateful wolf,” and even his own brother blocks the door, yelling at him to “get out.” Walking in the rain, Lin Shen takes out a USB drive he’s hidden for three years—it’s the core technology of his abandoned startup, proof of his “self-sacrifice” for the family. When his former family kneels before him, begging for help after their company goes bankrupt, he adjusts his collar and smirks: “Once I risked my life to protect this family. Now it’s your turn to beg me.”
