Chapter 208: Chapter 208 Nurse Zhang Huan_1

If this woman weren’t so enticing, not so beautiful, he might never have done such a thing! This He Tiantian was the bane of his life!

That sentence was true!

In a previous life, Qi Jianguo was the bane of He Tiantian’s life!

In this life, He Tiantian came for revenge, and she was the bane of Qi Jianguo’s life!

It was only fair!

Just as Qi Jianguo had a gloomy expression on his face, a tall nurse came in carrying medicine.

"Time for your injection," the nurse said softly, beginning to prepare the medicine skillfully.

Qi Jianguo looked up and was stunned. It was her!

The nurse, seeing Qi Jianguo looking at her, felt embarrassed and lowered her head, not wanting others to see the dense freckles on her face.

The nurse seemed a bit nervous and pricked the wrong spot.

"Ouch!" Qi Jianguo cried out in pain as his facial muscles twitched.

"I’m sorry, I’m so sorry," Zhang Huan quickly apologized. "I didn’t do it on purpose."

"It’s all right; take your time," Qi Jianguo said softly. He saw no contempt in this blushing young nurse.

Qi Jianguo remembered that this young girl had once mentioned him to his aunt.

It was said that this girl came from a decent family, and now, she showed no signs of looking down on him; perhaps... perhaps there was still a chance for him to turn things around...

The young girl was actually quite skilled and had finished administering the injection.

"Thank you; you’ve worked hard," Qi Jianguo said tenderly, his face filled with sorrow.

Nurse Zhang Huan, seeing Qi Jianguo like this, asked, "Are you... are you really...?"

Qi Jianguo gave a bitter smile and replied, "You don’t believe me either?"

"Then... why?" Zhang Huan asked falteringly. "Everyone outside says you are..."

"Ah, I was blinded by folly," Qi Jianguo said. "I got word that there was a university admission spot in the village reserved for me, but He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan both wanted to go to university. So they asked me to come over at night to discuss some questions, and I went. They were the ones who opened the door for me. I didn’t expect that as soon as I entered, they would start slandering me..."

Hearing this, Zhang Huan was stunned.

"What you’re saying is different from before," Zhang Huan said in disbelief. She too hoped that Qi Jianguo was wrongfully accused.

Zhang Huan looked at Qi Jianguo, remembering when they first met; she bumped into him, but not only did Qi Jianguo not get angry, he even helped her pick up the medicine pills and gauze from the ground. What touched her most was that Qi Jianguo didn’t despise her because of the freckles on her face, didn’t look down on her.

Qi Jianguo was both tall and handsome. She had never seen such a handsome man before.

"Whether it is the same or not, they are united in framing me, and I stand alone, unable to defend myself!" Qi Jianguo’s eyes reddened slightly, and he looked extremely wronged. "Now I can’t go to college, and I’ll have to go to prison; my life is ruined. The last time I rejected that proposal, it wasn’t that I didn’t like you, but because I am a countryman, I felt that I wasn’t good enough for you. I thought that after I went to college, I would confess to you. But now... ah, let’s leave it; human hearts are unfathomable. It’s just my bad luck."

Zhang Huan was taken aback, unable to believe her ears and asked back: "Are you really telling the truth?"

"Let’s not talk about it, you won’t believe me anyway," Qi Jianguo closed his eyes as tears streamed down from the corners of his eyes.

Even with the swelling on his face, Qi Jianguo still had good looks and seemed quite pitiable.

"Qi Jianguo..." Zhang Huan said with a pang of heartache, "You..."

"You should go. Talking to me could get you into trouble," Qi Jianguo said, looking tenderly at Zhang Huan, "I’m like this now, I won’t be worthy of you in the future."

Zhang Huan was hopelessly in love with Qi Jianguo’s gentle gaze.

Zhang Huan shook her head and said, "I believe in you!"

After leaving Qi Jianguo’s house, she took leave and went home.

After Zhang Huan left, Qi Jianguo felt elated. My God, Zhang Huan actually had feelings for him—what a great opportunity!

This was his last lifeline!

With the help of his cousin, who was a doctor, Qi Jianguo got a razor and struggled to get up to wash up, making himself neat and fresh. If not for the bruises on his face, he would still be a dashing young man!

After returning home, Zhang Huan, somehow, got her family to help.

What was originally a two-year sentence surprisingly turned into two years of re-education through labor.

Being sentenced and re-educated through labor are entirely different things!

These matters were all handled secretly; by the time Village Chief Qi and Old Man Qi got wind of it, it was already half a month later.

Qi Jianguo had already been sent to a remote area for re-education through labor, no longer in the local area.

He Tiantian couldn’t believe that a sure thing had still allowed Qi Jianguo to slip through.

Re-education through labor sounded bad as well, but compared to serving a prison sentence, it was much lighter.

"Ah, how unfair!" Qi Xiaoyan muttered under her breath, "That rotten Qi Jianguo managed to get away."

He Tiantian gave a wry smile, looking at Qi Xiaoyan and asked, "Xiao Yan, did Secretary Qi say what happened?"

Qi Xiaoyan shook her head and replied, "My dad doesn’t know either. He’s been to the county these past few days to inquire."

As the two walked and talked on the road, it just so happened that they ran into Qi Fangfang.

In the past, Qi Fangfang would have come running over with a fake smile and behaved affectionately upon seeing them.

Now, upon seeing He Tiantian and Qi Xiaoyan, Qi Fangfang’s eyes were filled with hatred!

"Sluts!" Qi Fangfang cursed, "It’s all because of you that my brother ended up like this!"

Qi Xiaoyan turned her head and retorted, "You’re the slut. Your brother did such things, and you still have the nerve to curse others. Shameless—and your whole family too."

He Tiantian looked contemptuously at Qi Fangfang and, pulling Qi Xiaoyan along, said, "Let’s go home. You don’t have to bother with such people. Arguing with someone like that is beneath you, isn’t it?"

"That’s right," Qi Xiaoyan agreed, "This time, I don’t know what strings your brother pulled to avoid prison and just get re-education through labor. You’d better behave yourself, or I’ll report you for pulling strings."

Qi Fangfang took two steps back, frightened, but tried to appear calm, "Don’t talk nonsense. My brother is innocent! Stop spreading rumors."

"Whether it’s a rumor or not, you and I know the truth, as do heaven and earth. The gods are watching from above. Those who frequently practice injustice will destroy themselves eventually. If you continue to do wrong, heaven will take you down, casting you into hell," He Tiantian said with a cold voice. The events of that day might be subject to speculation by outsiders, but He Tiantian, Qi Jianguo, and their people knew exactly what happened!

As an accomplice of Qi Jianguo, Qi Fangfang was obviously aware as well.

"You... you just wait!" Qi Fangfang, not daring to say more, turned and ran.

Watching Qi Fangfang flee, Qi Xiaoyan and He Tiantian exchanged glances and shared a wry smile.

"Ah, look, Qi Fangfang will never stay out of trouble," He Tiantian said, "Although she’s not as cunning as Qi Jianguo, she’s got plenty of tricks up her sleeve!"
