Xia Xibei heaved a sigh of relief when seeing that.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The car moved forward and Song Jiaren muttered softly to Xia Xibei, “How did the two of you get to know each other?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“By chance,” Xia Xibei replied, her expression remaining unruffled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He’s so good-looking!” Song Jiaren clasped her mouth and giggled as she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei was speechless. She didn’t know until now that Song Jiaren was such a groupie!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she was rather glad that Song Jiaren had managed to detach herself from Yang Xuan’s affairs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she hadn’t known Song Jiaren for more than two days, she found Song Jiaren to be a good person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite being plump, she had a generous and loyal personality, which suited her very well. Moreover, she was very different from the arrogant, domineering bully that the other students assumed her to be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue kept a composed look, as though he had no idea what the two girls were chatting about in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do we go to the herb store first or your place?” he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei thought for a second before answering, “The herb store.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She didn’t want Qiao Yanjue to go to her place. Besides, she had agreed upon treating him at the herb store previously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue nodded and the driver expressed his understanding immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although she was confused, Song Jiaren remained quiet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very soon, the car arrived at Huo Zijun’s herb store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once they got out of the car, Song Jiaren’s eyes became wide.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This herb store is so huge!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scent of herbs could be picked up on when approaching the place, so one could only imagine just how much herbs there were in the store.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Huo Zijun came out, Song Jiaren’s eyes became even wider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So handsome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Huo, this is my schoolmate, Song Jiaren. Jiaren, you could call him brother Huo, just like I do. He’s friends with Mr. Qiao,” Xia Xibei introduced him to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hello, brother Huo!” Song Jiaren’s eyes lit up instantly, but she was baffled when she recalled Xia Xibei’s last line. “Wait, why do you address them differently?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was brother Huo, while the other was Mr. Qiao. It was obvious whom Xia Xibei was closer with!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look on Qiao Yanjue’s face turned dismal as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still couldn’t wrap his head around the reason why Xia Xibei was so cold and distant toward him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Song Jiaren, who had met him for the first time today, had noticed the problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mr. Qiao is an elder, of course. We have to show him respect,” Xia Xibei said with a straight face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue’s face turned as dark as coal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered how Xia Xibei had previously called him “uncle.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gnashed his teeth and flashed a humorless smile, pointing out, “I’m the same age as Zijun!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were the same age and they weren’t even relatives, so what was the difference in their forms of address all about?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then looked toward Song Jiaren. “I’ll call you Jiaren, and you may call me brother Qiao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Jiaren was startled for a moment before she nodded, “Brother Qiao!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue nodded with a smile, then looked towards Xia Xibei, waiting for her to address him in the same way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xia Xibei’s lips twitched with unease. This man was just too cunning!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was schoolmates with Song Jiaren, so wouldn’t she have to call him brother too, if that was what Song Jiaren did? Otherwise, the seniority would be all messed up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a crafty man indeed!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Qiao,” Xia Xibei finally said with a joyless smile, left with no other choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soreness within Qiao Yanjue was finally relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Zijun, who was standing at the side, couldn’t help but shake his head as he watched the scene in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yanjue was a whole different person in front of Xia Xibei!\u003C\u002Fp>",760,"2026-05-30T10:44:24.210Z","2026-06-01T04:31:02.528Z",1,"novelbin.me","f2eeff4537ec95127727d2ca3eed0c1f95f6117af51533af14c937b7b08a60ed","the-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-chapter-66","the-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-chapter-64",2337,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-reincarnated-goddess-is-fierce-cover.jpg"]
