Heart Stealer

Chapter 122 What should I do?

Qiu Xue sat on the sofa at home, her face pale, her hands tightly holding the mobile phone, as if it was her only hope.

She remembered that after their last quarrel, Xiao Tuobang called her more than a dozen times a day, begging her to come home.

His voice was filled with anxiety and regret, which softened her heart.

But this time, he seemed to have disappeared and didn't call me at all.

Qiu Xue kept looking at her phone, hoping to see Xiao Tuobang's caller ID, but she was disappointed every time.

She thought of Zhang Sufang, the woman who always smiled. Her presence made Qiu Xue feel an inexplicable threat.

Qiu Xue decided to call Xiao Tuobang's secretary Xiaoying. She wanted to know about Xiao Tuobang's recent situation.

She picked up her phone and dialed Xiaoying's number.

"Hello, Xiaoying." Qiu Xue tried her best to make her voice sound calm.

"Hello, Miss Qiu." Xiaoying's voice sounded a little nervous. "What's going on?"

"I want to ask, has the president been working normally recently?" Qiu Xue asked tentatively.

Xiaoying hesitated for a moment, then said, "Ms. Qiu, the president is working normally, but he seems to be inspecting the hotel rooms more often."

"Patrol? Why patrol?" Qiu Xue felt an ominous premonition in her heart.

"I don't know either," Xiaoying replied, "but I heard he even personally delivered meals to one of the guest rooms."

"Which room?" Qiu Xue's heartbeat suddenly quickened.

"I don't know, Miss Qiu. I'm just a secretary, and it's not easy for me to ask about these things." Xiaoying's voice sounded apologetic.

Qiuxue's heart sank after hearing Xiaoying's answer. She guessed that the guest room was most likely Sufang's room.

"Okay, thank you, Xiaoying." Qiu Xue hung up the phone, her hands dropped weakly, the phone slipped from her hands and fell to the floor.

Things turned out just as Qiu Xue had expected. Her heart instantly turned cold, as if she had fallen into a bottomless ice cellar.

Qiu Xue lay powerlessly on the bed, her tears rolling down like a flood.

Her body was trembling slightly, and every sob seemed like she was enduring unspeakable pain.

Mrs. Qiu heard Qiu Xue's heart-wrenching cries coming from her room downstairs, and her heart tightened.

She walked quickly to Qiuxue's bed and asked softly, "Qiuxue, what's wrong with you?" Her voice was full of concern and anxiety.

Qiu Xue slowly raised her head and looked at Mrs. Qiu with tearful eyes, and tears flowed out again like a flood.

She choked and said, "Mom, I'm so sad. I don't know what to do." Her voice was full of helplessness and confusion.

Mrs. Qiu looked at Qiu Xue with heartache. She gently stroked Qiu Xue's hair, trying to soothe her broken heart with her warm palms.

"Don't cry, Qiuxue, tell mom what happened?" Mrs. Qiu's voice was choked with sobs. She really couldn't bear to see her daughter so sad.

Qiu Xue held back her tears and sobbed as she recounted her quarrel with Xiao Tuobang and her suspicions about the relationship between Xiao Tuobang and Zhang Sufang.

As Mrs. Qiu listened, her expression became more and more solemn. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and her heart was full of worry.

"I didn't agree with this marriage at the beginning. It's not a good match between the two families." Mrs. Qiu's voice was filled with helplessness and regret. "But seeing that you and your father are so happy, I can't object." She sighed softly, a trace of self-blame flashing in her eyes.

Qiuxue's crying gradually stopped, and her heart was filled with regret.

She sobbed and said, "Mom, I regret it now. I want to divorce Tuobang." Her eyes revealed determination, as if she had made up her mind.

Mrs. Qiu couldn't help but shudder when she heard this.

She held Qiuxue's hand tightly and said softly, "Silly child, you can't just get a divorce just like that. It's not that easy." There was a hint of anxiety in her voice. "Divorce is no small matter. It will have a huge impact on your future."

Qiu Xue looked at her mother's worried eyes. She knew her mother was right, but she could not tolerate Xiao Tuobang's betrayal.

"Mom, Tuobang and I have been married for less than a year. It's not too late to get a divorce now, while our relationship is still fresh." Qiuxue's voice was firm. "I don't want to go on like this. I don't want to be hurt again."

Mrs. Qiu sighed. She understood Qiu Xue's feelings, but she was also worried that this would cause unnecessary trouble to the whole family.

She knew that divorce was not just a matter between two people, but also involved family, property, and many other aspects. She was worried that Qiu Xue would make the wrong decision because of a momentary impulse.

"Qiuxue, you need to calm down and think carefully." Mrs. Qiu said earnestly, "Marriage needs to be managed, it's not something you can just divorce. There may still be room for you and Tuobang to make peace. Don't give up so easily."

Qiuxue listened to her mother silently, her heart full of contradictions.

She knew her mother was doing it for her own good, but she couldn't forgive Xiao Tuobang for what he had done.

She didn't know what to choose, whether to continue to maintain this broken marriage or bravely take the step of divorce.

"Marriage isn't just about the two of you. It involves too many things. Our company is quite well-known in the city and even nationwide.

The last time there was a problem with the company's senior management, it caused a huge uproar and severely damaged the company, and it has not yet fully recovered. Qiuxue, you and Tuobang were married not long ago, and you want a divorce again. Do you want our company to be in the whirlpool of public opinion every day?

Mrs. Qiu couldn't help shedding tears as she spoke. Tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the back of Qiu Xue's hand.

Qiuxue's heart was also touched. She held her mother's hand tightly, trying to give her some comfort.

The atmosphere in the room grew heavy, and the leaves outside the window rustled, as if sighing for the pain of the mother and daughter.

After a while, Qiu Xue wiped away her tears and said with determination: "But Mom, I really can't bear this. Tuobang treats me like this.

I don’t know how they’ll torture me in the future. It’s better to get away from them as soon as possible so that out of sight, out of mind.”

Her voice was firm and resolute, as if she had made up her mind to end the marriage.

Mrs. Qiu's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and pain. She sighed softly, "Qiuxue, Tuobang is now the president of the company. If you get divorced, it will definitely have a huge impact on the company. Investors will lose confidence in our company."

Qiu Xue's expression became even uglier, her anger and disappointment intertwined.

She was still angry and said angrily, "Mom, my brother-in-law Murong Zhenxi graduated from a prestigious university. He's no worse than Xiao Tuobang."

Mrs. Qiu sighed again and said, "If your brother-in-law had that ability, your father wouldn't have handed over all the company matters to Tuobang."

Qiu Xue's mood became even heavier, and she didn't know how to face all this.

She asked helplessly: "Mom, what should I do?"

Mrs. Qiu gently stroked Qiu Xue's hair and sighed, "Tuobang looks honest, but I didn't expect him to be this kind of person. Don't worry, daughter. No matter what decision you make in the future, I will support you."

Qiuxue fell into her mother's arms again. She was very grateful to her mother for allowing her to go home when she was injured.

She felt her mother's warmth and tears welled up in her eyes again.
