"I know she doesn't like me, but she can't treat me like this! Pingwei, you have to stand up for me this time!"
Yue Keqi had tears on her face, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Just then, Jiang Jingxue ran out of needles and went home to get more.
She had barely entered the door when she heard someone badmouthing her.
Jiang Jingxue got angry as soon as she heard that.
She sneered and said, "Yue Keqi, you're quite the actress."
Upon hearing Jiang Jingxue's voice, Yue Keqi couldn't help but take a step back.
Why did that female demon suddenly come back?
As Jiang Jingxue walked, she said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known you were talking about me behind my back like this!"
For some reason, Yue Keqi felt a little flustered when she saw her.
But upon closer reflection, I realized I hadn't said anything wrong.
Why should she be afraid of a country bumpkin like her!
Yue Keqi immediately straightened her back: "I'm telling the truth! I did stay to help, didn't I?"
"Wow, you've really been a great help!"
Jiang Jingxue nodded with a sneer: "When I asked you to light a fire to brew medicine, you almost set the whole house on fire! When I asked you to deliver medicine to the patient, you complained about everything, saying the house was smelly and dirty, and that the patient was always coughing! When I asked you to feed the patient some medicine, you forced the whole bowl down their throat and almost choked them to death!"
"Yue Keqi, is this what you call helping? They are human beings, just like you! You, with your haughty, privileged attitude, judge and look down on them so casually! Have you ever truly respected them? It would be better if you didn't help at all!"
Jiang Jingxue's words were all reasonable, leaving Yue Keqi with no room for rebuttal.
Gu Pingwei also understood what was going on.
As a soldier, loving one's people is ingrained in one's bones.
He was determined not to allow such a conflict to occur under his nose.
Gu Pingwei looked at Yue Keqi with a serious expression.
"Yue Keqi! Go apologize to the patients!"
“Pingwei, I… don’t believe Jiang Jingxue’s side of the story! She and those people also insulted me…”
"Well... they just aren't very good at taking care of patients, it's not like I did it on purpose. Besides, it's not like I volunteered to stay and help."
Yue Keqi's last words were spoken reluctantly.
If her father hadn't forced her, and if she hadn't wanted to make a good impression on Gu Pingwei, she wouldn't have wanted to stay and take care of the patient.
Jiang Jingxue looked disgusted.
"If you're not willing, then get out of here! Don't stay here and get in the way, making others clean up your mess!"
"I didn't ask you to clean up my mess! Humph! Fine, I'm leaving! I don't want to stay in this awful place even if you beg me! If I ever come back, I'll be a dog!"
"Qin Liang!"
As soon as Yue Keqi finished speaking, Gu Pingwei called Qin Liang in.
"Take Miss Yue home!"
"yes!"
Gu Pingwei's words were so decisive that Yue Keqi was somewhat stunned.
She was in a bad mood just now, and it was only because she was arguing with Jiang Jingxue that she said she was leaving.
If she goes back like this, her father will scold her to death!
Besides, she also wanted to stay and spend more time with Gu Pingwei, so that he wouldn't be taken advantage of by that bitch Jiang Jingxue.
“Brother Pingwei, I…”
She wanted to make amends for herself.
Gu Pingwei, however, did not give her a chance at all.
"Please give my regards to Professor Yue when you get back."
After saying this, Gu Pingwei left.
“Brother Pingwei…”
Yue Keqi wanted to follow.
Qin Liang blocked her way.
"Miss Yue, please."
Yue Keqi had no choice but to reluctantly get into the car.
Meanwhile, Jiang Jingxue pushed Gu Pingwei away.
She even turned around deliberately and raised her eyebrows at her provocatively.
Yue Keqi was so angry she was about to go crazy.
night.
Professor Yue had just returned home from the laboratory when there was a knock on the door.
He opened the door and saw Yue Keqi and Qin Liang standing outside.
Professor Yue looked on with surprise.
"Keqi, why are you back?"
Didn't I tell her to stay in the village and help out?
Why did you come back in less than half a day?
"dad!"
To avoid being scolded, Yue Keqi would act coquettishly and pitiful whenever she saw Professor Yue.
"I really wanted to stay and help, but Jiang Jingxue bullied me because she got there before me! She even incited the villagers to bully me too! Dad, they bullied me so badly, I really can't stay here any longer!"
As Yue Keqi spoke, tears welled up in her eyes.
Qin Liang, who was standing next to him, coughed.
"Professor Yue, Miss Yue has been pampered since childhood. She loves beauty and cleanliness, so it's normal that she's not used to living in the countryside. She can't really help much if she stays there, so the patients have some complaints about her, but this has nothing to do with Madam."
Qin Liang cleared Jiang Jingxue's name with just a few words.
At the same time, the reason was also explained in a subtle way.
Professor Yue was also well aware of what kind of person his daughter was.
"Qin Liang, thank you for your hard work. Come in and have a simple meal with us."
"No, no, I have to rush back, so I won't bother you any longer."
After Qin Liang left.
Professor Yue closed the door and launched into a tirade of criticism against Yue Keqi.
"Keqi, oh Keqi! What can I say about you!"
"Why do you think I asked you to stay and help out? It's because I want you to perform well so I can give you a chance to join the Party. Why don't you understand my good intentions?"
Yue Keqi looked aggrieved after being scolded.
