Heart Stealer

Mrs. Qiu and the worker Aunt Miao were busy watering the flowers and plants in the yard. Suddenly, a clear whistle sounded outside the gate, breaking the tranquility.

The two men put down the kettle in their hands curiously and walked to the door to check.

I saw Qiu Xue struggling to move a large suitcase from the car. Her face was covered in sweat, and it was obvious that she had put in a lot of effort.

Aunt Miao hurried forward to help, and the two of them worked together to move the suitcase into the yard.

Qiu Xue and her mother walked into the living room together. Mrs. Qiu noticed that there were tears on Qiu Xue's face and couldn't help feeling a little worried.

"Qiuxue, did you quarrel with Tuobang again?" she asked with concern.

Qiu Xue's emotions were no longer under control. She hugged Mrs. Qiu and sobbed, "Mom, Tuobang betrayed me. I want to divorce him."

When Mrs. Qiu heard the news, she was stunned.

"Qiuxue, divorce is no joke. Don't talk about it all the time." She tried to calm Qiuxue down.

"Mom, you don't know, Tuobang has been in contact with Sufang. I have been tolerant again and again, but he still refuses to change. I can't live with him anymore." Qiuxue's voice was full of despair and anger.

Mrs. Qiu felt very distressed when she saw Qiu Xue crying so sadly.

She turned to look at Qiu Rongyao, hoping he could say a few words of comfort.

However, Qiu Rongyao didn't seem to care about this matter. He still looked down at the newspaper in his hand, as if nothing had happened.

"Husband, look at our daughter crying like this, and you still have the mood to read the newspaper?" Mrs. Qiu's face was full of anger, and her voice was full of dissatisfaction and blame.

Qiu Rongyao raised his head, glanced at Qiu Xue casually, then lowered his head again and continued reading his newspaper.

He said calmly, "You know our daughter's temper. I think it was probably her fault first."

When Mrs. Qiu heard this, her anger instantly ignited. She stood up suddenly, put her hands on her hips, glared at him, and raised her voice an octave.

"Husband, our daughter is the victim. How can you be so indiscriminate? Don't you feel sorry for your daughter?"

Qiu Rongyao was startled by Mrs. Qiu's intense reaction. He looked at her in astonishment, obviously not expecting her to be so excited.

He put down the newspaper and tried to explain: "That's not what I meant. I just felt..."

"You don't have to explain!" Mrs. Qiu interrupted him mercilessly, "I want you to call Tuobang right now. I want to seek justice for my daughter in person." Her eyes were firm and resolute, and seemed to leave no room for doubt.

Qiu Rongyao sighed helplessly. He knew that he could not convince Mrs. Qiu, so he could only reluctantly put down the newspaper in his hand and slowly walked towards the phone.

About an hour later, Xiao Tuobang finally drove to his mother-in-law's house.

He stopped the car slowly, his movements neither hurried nor slow, as if everything was under his control.

Qiu Xue sat quietly on the sofa, looking ahead with empty eyes.

Her body trembled slightly when she heard the sound of a car outside the door.

She turned her head and saw Xiao Tuobang walking in. Her face immediately turned cold, as if covered by a layer of frost.

After looking at each other, the two turned their heads away and did not speak to each other. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

They are like enemies and no one wants to care about anyone else.

Mrs. Qiu originally stood firmly on her daughter's side, and her face also looked unhappy.

When she noticed that Xiao Tuobang had a bruised face, her expression changed instantly.

She walked towards Xiao Tuobang distressedly and asked with concern: "Tuobang, what happened to you? How did you get hurt?"

Xiao Tuobang shook his head slightly, indicating that he was fine.

Mrs. Qiu hurried to the medicine box, took out a bottle of medicine for injuries and handed it to Xiao Tuobang, and urged: "Take it and rub it on. Look how badly you're hurt!"

Xiao Tuobang took the medicine bottle and felt a little embarrassed.

He looked up at Qiu Xue, only to see her staring at him with a mocking and disdainful look.

He felt embarrassed and quickly picked up the medicine bottle to wipe his cheek.

Then he turned around and tried to explain to Qiu Xue what had happened today, but Qiu Xue turned her face away.

"Qiuxue, you are so cruel. How could you beat your husband like this?" Mrs. Qiu said dissatisfiedly.

Qiuxue was furious after hearing this. "Mom, I didn't hurt Tuobang. He deserved it. I didn't think I hit him hard enough," she responded angrily.

"Qiu Xue, what's going on?" Qiu Rongyao put down the newspaper in his hand and asked with a frown.

"Dad, this is all Tuobang's fault." Qiuxue pointed at Xiao Tuobang and shouted, "Tuobang and another man snatched Sufang, and that's why he was beaten like this."

After hearing this, Qiu Rongyao's expression became serious.

He looked at Xiao Tuobang with a hint of disappointment and anger in his eyes.

"Tuobang, is this true?"

Seeing Qiu Xue so excited, Xiao Tuobang couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

He quickly explained, "Mom and Dad, don't believe her one-sided words. There's no improper relationship between Sufang and me. She misunderstood me."

"Misunderstanding?" Qiu Xue sneered, "How dare you say it's a misunderstanding? You hid Sufang from everyone, is that a misunderstanding? Do you think I'm a fool?"

When Mrs. Qiu heard that Xiao Tuobang had cheated on her, she immediately became angry.

She took two steps forward and snatched the medicine bottle from Xiao Tuobang's hand, cursing, "Tuobang, you brought this upon yourself. You don't deserve to use this medicine."

Qiu Rongyao put down the newspaper in his hand and stared at Xiao Tuobang with sharp eyes. His brows were furrowed, and he was obviously dissatisfied with Xiao Tuobang's answer.

Mrs. Qiu stood beside Qiu Xue. Her eyes were sharp, as if she could see through Xiao Tuobang's thoughts.

"Tuobang, is what Qiuxue said true?"

Xiao Tuobang lowered his head, his face pale, and his hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

He felt immense pressure, but he still tried to defend himself.

"Mom and Dad, what Qiuxue said is completely inconsistent with the facts. Sufang didn't want to meet Jing Tianxin, so I arranged for her to stay in the hotel for a few days." Xiao Tuobang's voice trembled a little. He tried to remain calm, but the panic in his heart was difficult to conceal.

Qiu Xue was so aggrieved that she burst into tears and choked up, saying, "Mom and Dad, did you hear that? He admitted all this himself!"

Xiao Tuobang looked at everything happening in front of him in astonishment, and quickly explained: "Mom and Dad, don't you even believe me?"

His face was full of anxiety and helplessness, and he tried to make his father-in-law and mother-in-law understand his difficulties.

However, Qiu Rongyao and Mrs. Qiu remained silent, seemingly confused and conflicted about this question.

Qiu Xue said indignantly, "Xiao Tuobang, you are such a hypocrite! You always pretend to be a good person on the surface, but do bad things behind the scenes.

You've deceived me time and time again and put me in pain. Now, I've had enough and don't want to see your face anymore. Get out of here right now!

Xiao Tuobang looked at his father-in-law with a pleading look, hoping to get some support and help.

Qiu Rongyao did not speak well of Xiao Tuobang as usual. He sighed and said,

"You two are both furious right now, Tuobang. Why don't you go back to your own home first? When you've calmed down a bit, we can talk about this in detail, okay?"

"Ok."

Seeing that his father-in-law and mother-in-law didn't seem to intend to keep him, Xiao Tuobang could only stand up helplessly.

He took one last look at Qiu Xue, but Qiu Xue turned her face away.

Xiao Tuobang felt that the Qiu family had teamed up to bully him today.

He walked out of the Qiu family compound with a feeling of frustration.

After Xiao Tuobang left, Qiu Xue threw herself into her mother's arms and burst into tears.

Mrs. Qiu patted her back lovingly and comforted her softly, "Don't cry, honey, this must be a misunderstanding."

Qiu Rongyao also echoed, "Yes, Tuobang is not that kind of person. When he goes back and calms down, he might take the initiative to confess to you."

Qiuxue simply refused to listen and continued to cry loudly, "Dad, Mom, am I your biological child? Why do you only speak for Tuobang? He treated me like this!"

Mrs. Qiu patted Qiu Xue on the back and continued to comfort her, "Okay, okay, don't cry anymore. No matter what, let's find out the truth first."
