Chapter 18
Xia Xibei made no attempt to conceal her anger. “They have taken this too far! Twenty thousand yuan is just a little pocket money to them, but as far as I’m concerned, it was all the savings that I had!”
Looking at how angry Xia Xibei was, the suspicion on Song Jiaren and the others’ faces faded away.
If she really had been in a relationship with Yang Xuan, this wouldn’t have been her reaction.
“And I swear that Yang Xuan and Jin Yazhen are a couple! If I lied, I’d be struck by lightning!”
Xia Xibei raised a hand and swore without guilty conscience.
She wasn’t lying.
Yang Xuan and Jin Yazhen had hooked up indeed.
Song Jiaren’s face turned even more awful.
“Jin Yazhen?”
“Yes!” Xia Xibei nodded. “Jin Yazhen was once my good friend, but I only found out now that she was only friends with me for my money! How abominable!”
“For real?”
“Of course!”
Xia Xibei nodded and then voiced her doubt, “By the way, why did you look for me? It wasn’t because you just wanted to know about them, was it? Or do you want me to help you lose weight?”
Song Jiaren was baffled. “Lose weight?”
How did this whole matter relate to losing weight?
However, she couldn’t bear to hear the phrase “lose weight” after all.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t tried losing weight before. She skipped meals, worked out, and got acupuncture… She had tried everything she could, but nothing ever worked out for her.
She had given up by now.
Did Xia Xibei mention “losing weight” all of a sudden just to mock her?
“What do you even mean? Are you humiliating our Sister Jiaren?” The girls at the back yelled.
“Of course not!” Xia Xibei shook her head. “Why would I be humiliating her? Furthermore, that’s what I do for a living now, why would I offend my customers?”
Customers?
The girls were puzzled once again.
“What are you really talking about?”
Song Jiaren felt like her mental capacity was running low. How did their topic change from Yang Xuan to losing weight?
It was way too dynamic!
“My grandfather is an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and he has done extensive studies in the weight-loss aspect! I have mastered the notes that he had left behind, thus I’m capable of helping people lose weight. The result would be splendid!”

Her words made the girls laugh. “Even if your grandfather is an old practitioner, just how old are you? How much knowledge could you have mastered?”
Everyone knew that it would take years and decades to amass the knowledge and skills of traditional Chinese medicine. Xia Xibei was only in her teens, yet she had the guts to call herself capable. She must be kidding, right?
“I don’t know about other areas, but I’m totally confident in the area of weight loss!” Xia Xibei asserted with confidence, making her gorgeous face look even more stunning.
“Really? How many people have you helped with losing weight before?” Song Jiaren asked.
“…Not a single one, but you’ll be the very first! Also, your facial features are very good-looking, I’m sure that you’ll be a big beauty once you lose the pounds!” Xia Xibei said intently.

The faces of the other girls looked unpleasant.
She had never helped anyone lose weight before, but she gave such a wild speech in front of Song Jiaren. Just where did she get the courage? Did she not know Song Jiaren’s status?
Song Jiaren wasn’t pleased by Xia Xibei’s words although she knew that she would surely be a beauty once she lost some weight—her parents were good-looking after all.
However, Xia Xibei’s words sounded too unconvincing.
“Alright, the class is starting soon, let’s go.”
Since Xia Xibei and Yang Xuan weren’t a couple, Song Jiaren didn’t see the need to waste any more effort on her.
Although she was domineering, she wasn’t an unreasonable person.
However, Xia Xibei didn’t let her walk off just like that. She was the first ever customer she had!
“Don’t leave in such a hurry! Let’s talk things out if there’s any! I can really help you lose weight!”
