Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Losing Weight with Life
Seeing her sitting on the ground like a child, throwing a tantrum, Xia Weibao found it funny.
But she felt it would be inappropriate to laugh at someone so heartbroken.
So she stood still, not moving.
Lu Huashan cried her heart out, her voice hiccupping with sobs.
She felt so foolish.
Everyone could see the truth clearly, everyone except her; she actually had the illusion that she could marry Li Yi.
...
“Do you think I’m delusional, so ugly and yet hoping that Li Yi would really fall in love with me.
I know, everyone looks down on me, everyone laughs behind my back, saying I’m a toad lusting after swan meat.”
Xia Weibao really wanted to say, yes, it’s quite delusional…
But, seeing how heartbroken Lu Huashan was, of course, she wouldn’t say it out loud.
“You can’t blame yourself for this, Li Yi has been plotting from the start.”
Lu Huashan sniffed, “What did I do wrong, why does fate treat me this way? I was born into such a good family, I could have been beautiful, I could have been the envy of all women, but why…”
As she spoke, she seemed too agitated, her breath ragged.
She wiped away tears, then turned her head to look at Xia Weibao, “Do you know, I’m jealous of you, so very jealous, I envy all the beautiful women.
But I can’t even show my jealousy, it would make my mom feel guilty, my brother would be saddened…
I don’t even dare to go home now, seeing my brother’s face just makes me feel so awful.
We are siblings, why is there such a big difference.
I hate it so much…”
Tears breached her defenses.
She really hated it.
Xia Weibao hadn’t initially taken Hua Shan’s issues to heart and was just occasionally bumping into her, weeding out a scumbag, rescuing a girl from distress.
But now, seeing her so heartbroken, she suddenly felt a pang of compassion.
Damn it, although she was a woman, why did she feel the heart of a man, aching for another’s sorrow!
“You could diet.”
“I have dieted; what can I do if it doesn’t work? I haven’t eaten a grain of rice for half a year, only two apples every other day, and several times I’ve fainted from hunger and ended up in the hospital, but I still can’t lose weight. What can I do?
My brother sought doctors everywhere but they couldn’t cure my illness, what can I do?”
Xia Weibao’s eyes widened in shock, “Half… half a year without a grain of rice? Then what have you been eating?”
“Apples, someone said apples can help you lose weight.”
Oh my God!
Not eating for half a year, only eating apples, can this still be called human.
Suddenly she raised her hand in salute, “I respect you as a tough guy!”
How ruthless does one have to be to inflict such harm on oneself!
“Don’t your family care about you?”
“I don’t let them care. When my brother forces me to eat, I cut my wrists as a threat.”
Xia Weibao’s eyes twitched fiercely, that’s severe!
This is dieting with one’s life on the line.
“What illness do you have?”
Mentioning this made Lu Huashan even more distressed.
“Hormones. My mom was injected with hormones by the Mistress while she was pregnant with me, which then affected me. So I was born this way.
Maybe because they feel guilty, my mom and brother are very affectionate towards me.
Especially my brother, he is heartbroken over my and my mom’s illness.
And yet, I was so immature, I argued with him over Li Yi, sob sob…
I feel so terrible, I’ve let my brother down…”
Xia Weibao felt, how pitiful.
But, hormones?
What exactly is that thing, Yang Li also said, one of his friends got fat because of hormones.
She took out her phone and googled it.
The explanation was very detailed, as incomprehensible as an arcane text, she had no idea what hormones were.
Yet…
Xia Weibao’s eyes sparkled with excitement, incurable diseases intrigued her greatly.
