Heart Stealer

Xiao Tuobang left the Qiu family.

Walking on the road, Xiao Tuobang was depressed to the extreme, just like the dark clouded sky, heavy and oppressive, making it almost hard to breathe.

Thinking back to the past, Xiao Tuobang became more and more angry.

In his eyes, Qiu Xue was a stingy, extremely emotionally unstable, and completely unreasonable woman.

She is always so willful. She loses her temper when things don't go her way, without considering other people's feelings at all.

Xiao Tuobang felt that he had had enough and he could not bear it any longer.

"I must get a divorce!" Xiao Tuobang secretly made up his mind, as if this was the only way to get rid of the painful situation before him.

The next morning, before the sun rose, the entire city was shrouded in a light mist.

Xiao Tuobang arrived at Lawyer Sun's door with heavy steps and a heart full of sorrow.

He raised his hand and knocked gently on the door.

At this time, Lawyer Sun Wu was busy and happy. He was going out for an outing with his wife and two children.

The faces of the family were filled with happy smiles, as if all the troubles in the world had gone away from them.

Lawyer Sun heard a knock on the door. He opened it and saw Xiao Tuobang standing outside with a sad face. His originally bright smile froze on his face in an instant.

Lawyer Sun was stunned for a moment, then reacted and quickly said, "Tuobang, I'm so sorry, I really don't have time today. My wife and I are planning to take the children out for some fun. Why don't you come back another day?" As he said that, he was about to close the door and send the guest away.

Xiao Tuobang quickly reached out to stop him, pleading, "Lawyer Sun, I know you're very busy, but this is really urgent. Please help me."

Lawyer Sun noticed that Xiao Tuobang's face was gloomy and his eyes revealed a look of despair, as if something serious had happened.

Lawyer Sun hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to listen to Xiao Tuobang's questions first.

He invited Xiao Tuobang into the house and signaled his wife to take the children out to play first.

Xiao Tuobang sat on the sofa, took a deep breath, and tried his best to calm himself down.

He looked at Lawyer Sun and asked slowly, "Lawyer Sun, I want to know if the divorce agreement between Qiu Xue and I is still there?"

Lawyer Sun nodded and replied, "Yes, I almost threw it away yesterday."

Xiao Tuobang frowned slightly, but soon regained his composure. He continued, "That's great, Lawyer Sun. Please contact Lawyer Ma right now.

See if there's anything you need to add. If Qiuxue has any requests, agree to them. We'll go sign the divorce papers tomorrow."

After hearing this, Lawyer Sun couldn't help but advise, "Tuobang, you have to think it over carefully. Marriage is not a child's game. You are hurting each other by going back and forth like this. Can't you just sit down and talk it out?"

Xiao Tuobang shook his head helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Talk? What else is there to talk about between us? Qiuxue and I have reached the end of our relationship. Forcing it will only make everyone more miserable. Instead of this, it is better to end this marriage as soon as possible."

After saying that, he raised the teacup in his hand, drank it all, then stood up and prepared to leave Lawyer Sun's house.

Lawyer Sun looked at Xiao Tuobang's departing back and couldn't help feeling regretful.

Xiao Tuobang and Qiu Xue were once a loving and enviable couple, but no one knew why it had come to this.

Xiao Tuobang drove his black car slowly into the familiar villa area.

The sunlight filtered through the treetops and shone onto the spacious road, illuminating his resolute yet slightly tired face.

Xiao Tuobang noticed that the iron gate of his house was open, and he frowned vigilantly.

Who would be so bold as to enter his villa in broad daylight?

Xiao Tuobang drove closer and saw a middle-aged woman hurriedly walking out of the gate.

She was carrying a bulging brown paper bag that looked like it was filled with something important.

Xiao Tuobang recognized that it was the family's nanny, Mrs. Zhen, whose face was full of panic and anxiety.

Xiao Tuobang quickly stopped the car and walked up to Mrs. Zhen, with a hint of severity in his eyes.

"Mrs. Zhen, what are you doing? Why are you entering my bedroom without permission?"

Sister Zhen was intimidated by Xiao Tuobang's aura. She trembled and said, "Master, it was the eldest lady who asked me to come. She wanted me to take away some jewelry she bought before her wedding."

Xiao Tuobang frowned, feeling an inexplicable anger surge up in his body.

He turned around, walked to the sofa in the living room and sat down, motioning to Sister Zhen to put the brown paper bag on the coffee table.

Mrs. Zhen carefully placed the paper bag on the coffee table, then stepped aside, lowered her head and dared not speak.

Xiao Tuobang glanced at Sister Zhen. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see through Sister Zhen's heart.

"Mrs. Zhen, do you know that entering someone else's residence without permission is illegal? Who do you think your master is? Can he let you do such a thing at will?" There was a hint of anger in his voice.

Mrs. Zhen was so frightened that she was shaking all over, as if she would collapse at any moment.

She whispered, "Master, I really just followed the eldest lady's instructions. I have no other intentions."

"Okay, Sister Zhen, you can go now."

There was a hint of fatigue and helplessness in Xiao Tuobang's voice. He rubbed his eyebrows.

"I don't want to hold you accountable anymore, but you should understand that your actions have caused me unnecessary trouble."

"But...but the lady asked me to take the jewelry back."

Sister Zhen lowered her head, her hands tightly clutching the corners of her clothes. She didn't dare look directly into Xiao Tuobang's eyes, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"Sister Zhen, I told you to leave, but you refused. You're trespassing. Do you believe I can call the police and have them arrest you?"

When Xiao Tuobang saw Mrs. Zhen like this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of anger in his heart, and his tone became stern.

When Mrs. Zhen heard this, her body trembled violently. She raised her head, her eyes full of fear.

She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to start.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Tuobang, who is so bold as to break into a private house in broad daylight? Has anything valuable been stolen from our house?"

When Xiao Tuobang heard the voice, his originally tense face instantly relaxed as if ice and snow were melting.

He turned his head quickly, his eyes eagerly looking towards the door.

As expected, Xiao's mother and father were seen walking hurriedly into the house carrying large and small bags on their shoulders.

Father Xiao was holding two lively chickens with bright feathers in his hands. He looked energetic and vigorous.

Xiao Tuobang hurried forward with a smile on his face, and took the heavy items from his parents' hands with swift movements.

He asked with concern, "Dad, Mom, why did you come here so suddenly? You should have told me before you came so I could pick you up at the station."

Mother Xiao smiled lovingly, patted her son's hand gently, and said softly,

"Silly child, we are just thinking of giving you a big surprise! Tell mom quickly, have you been very busy at work recently? Are you feeling well?"

Xiao Tuobang responded with a smile: "Mom, don't worry, I'm fine, there's nothing for you to worry about."
