The Billionaire Daughter Returns: Saving Mom from Unfilial Sons

Описание: The Heartbreaking Wait:
The story centers on Hu Xiuhua, an elderly woman living in a dilapidated "nail house" (a home whose owner refuses to make room for development) in the suburbs. Despite a massive demolition project offering lucrative compensation, Hu refuses to sign the papers. She insists on keeping the house as a landmark for her daughter, Xiao Ling, who went missing decades ago, fearing she won't find her way home if the house is gone.
The Unfilial Sons:
Hu has two grown sons, Zhou Qi and Zhou Ming, who are portrayed as greedy and morally bankrupt.
Zhou Qi is manipulated by his pregnant, cheating wife, Xiao Yan, and tries to force his mother to sign the house over to him so he can buy a luxury apartment.
Zhou Ming is a violent gambling addict in debt to loan sharks. He tries to force his mother to sell the house to save his own life.
Both sons neglect their mother, even when she is diagnosed with uremia (kidney failure), fighting over her assets instead of paying for her medical bills.
The Identity Reveal:
Guo Yuan, a high-ranking executive at Yongli Real Estate (the developer), arrives to handle the difficult nail house. She notices a photo in Hu’s house and realizes she is the missing daughter, Xiao Ling. Instead of revealing herself immediately, she protects Hu from the loan sharks and her abusive sons, paying for Hu's medical treatments.
The Climax & Justice:
After confirming their relationship via a DNA test, Guo Yuan reveals her identity as the wealthy executive and long-lost daughter.
Zhou Ming kidnaps Guo Yuan for ransom but is caught. He is disowned by his mother and arrested for kidnapping and fraud.
Zhou Qi is tricked by his wife into a "fake divorce" to transfer assets, only for her to run away with her lover and his money, leaving him homeless and penniless.
Conclusion:
Hu Xiuhua disowns her sons, giving the demolition rights and new housing solely to her daughter. The drama ends with the mother and daughter reunited, preparing for a happy life, while the sons suffer the consequences of their greed.
