Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend

After Wen Jingyan and Cheng Rou drove away, Ning Fangping's smile disappeared.

She looked at Ning Xi, her voice turning serious, "Ning Xi, did you just ignore everything I said on the phone?"

Ning Xi looked up and stared at the black-rimmed glasses her aunt had worn for many years. She could clearly see that the edges of the temples were worn white.

The lenses reflected light, but they couldn't hide the seriousness and solemnity in her eyes.

In my memory, Ning Fangping's eyebrows and eyes were rarely relaxed.

Even when she's not angry, there's a faint vertical line between her eyebrows.

At this moment, anger etched a deep wrinkle on his brow, and his eyes behind his glasses swept over her with a scrutinizing and accusatory gaze: "If you don't have money for rent or food, tell me, do you think I wouldn't give you money and let you go hungry?"

"You've only been dating for a short time, and you're already living together?"

"If you're so casual, how will you explain things to your in-laws in the future?"

She had taught Ning Xi since she was little that the most important thing for a girl was to have self-respect and self-love, but Ning Xi hadn't listened to a word of it.

Ning Xi steadily held the umbrella over her aunt's head, blocking out large patches of sunlight, and asked her softly, "Aunt, can you tell me why you have such a strong prejudice against someone you've never even met?"

Ning Fangping was exasperated. "I know what you're thinking. You think Cheng Rou is exaggerating and saying bad things about your boyfriend to me? You've never had many friends since you were little, and it's Cheng Rou who has always been tolerant of you and befriended you."

"If your boyfriend were a good person, responsible and dependable, he wouldn't have tricked you into living with him so early in your relationship!"

After saying this, Ning Fangping reached out and poked Ning Xi's forehead. "Cheng Rou's boyfriend, during lunch, his eyes were on you the whole time. It's outrageous! I can't control or restrain others, but you remember this: don't have any inappropriate thoughts about Cheng Rou's boyfriend."

Ningxi didn't want to argue with her aunt.

She wanted to communicate properly.

But she couldn't stand her aunt saying anything good about Cheng Rou, or even accusing her of having feelings for Cheng Rou's boyfriend.

She wanted to tell Ning Fangping what Cheng Rou had done to the original owner of the body, and even wanted to tell her that just now, Wen Jingyan had offered to support her with his wallet, humiliating her dignity.

But when she looked up and met Ning Fangping's trembling hand, she didn't want to say anything anymore.

Say all this out loud, and then what?

What could Ning Fangping do besides worry?

The worst-case scenario is that they forcibly take her back to Hemeng.

Seeing Ning Xi with her head down, her eyes red and stubbornly silent, Ning Fangping said sternly, "I'll go to your workplace and see for myself before deciding whether you can stay in Xincheng."

Ning Xi's phone rang.

The car she called arrived.

After getting into the car, Ning Xi covered her face, her voice choked with sobs: "I wish I had never been born into this world."

"That way, I won't be anyone's burden or anyone's responsibility."

"If you want to know how I'm doing, just ask me. I won't hide anything from you."

"I've always thought that Cheng Rou might be your biological niece."

Why can't you trust me?

"I want to work hard and earn money. I also want to make my messed-up life better. I finally stopped feeling so lost and just started to have goals and direction in life. But without even asking what I think, you act like a tyrant and want to take me back to Hemeng."

"I don't want to be a kindergarten teacher, nor do I want to take the civil service exam."

Does Ning Fangping believe that anything that is good to her is truly good?

She knew exactly what she wanted, and she also knew that Ning Fangping cared about her, but she was using the wrong methods.

Ning Xi lowered her hand from her face, her voice thick with a nasal tone: "If I had a father and a mother, would my life be different now?"

Ning Fangping's lips trembled, but she couldn't speak for a long time.

Ning Xi's words were like a knife to her heart.

She raised the child herself, and she wanted Ning Xi to have a good life more than anyone else.

The driver, who had been listening the whole way, couldn't help but speak to Ning Fangping: "Sister, you're a teacher, right? Don't bring your professional habits to your own children. Children are grown up and have their own ideas. Taking over their lives isn't doing them a favor. I'm a parent too, and my child is the same age as yours. I just hope she's healthy and happy every day, that's enough for me."

The taxi was parked in front of the theater.

Ning Fangping's gaze lingered on Ning Xi, who was getting out of the car, for a long time.

Ning Xi went around to her aunt's side and opened the door for her.

Ning Fangping did not get out of the car. Her voice was no longer strong, and the anger and coldness in her eyes had completely faded away, replaced by a calm and peaceful expression.

She said to the driver, "Sir, I see you're accepting orders via your phone. Could you please use the meter to take me to Xincheng North Station?"

The driver smiled and said, "Yes, you can."

Ning Fangping interrupted Ning Xi's attempt to keep her, saying, "Go inside and get to work. I won't take up your work time. Over the years, I've fulfilled my obligations to you. From now on, you can decide how you want to live, whether you choose to wallow in despair or strive for success. It's your life."

Ning Xi bit her lip, the emotions she had just suppressed, but seeing her aunt about to leave, she felt inexplicably suffocated.

Ning Fangping's words were not a compromise, but a disappointed letting go.

Ning Xi watched the taxi drive away and then wiped her eyes hard.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and squatted down, tears streaming down her face.

She was very awkward.

She hoped Ning Fangping would stay, and that she would take her around the new city and buy her a couple more outfits.

My aunt's dark short-sleeved shirt and black trousers had faded and turned white from washing.

Although the shoes on my feet were clean, they were several years old.

On one hand, she didn't want Ning Fangping to stay, but on the other hand, the autocratic dictatorship wanted her to return to Hemeng.

She finally has a relative, but she doesn't know how to get along with them.

The phone's video and audio played for a long time.

Ning Xi got up, found a large tree that could provide shade, and told herself that she would adjust her emotions and go back to work.

There are still ten minutes before I start work in the afternoon.

With tears in her eyes, she refused He Kezhou's video call.

A few seconds later, fearing that He Kezhou might be calling her urgently, she sent him a voice message.

A hearty male voice rang out from He Kezhou's end, "Did I disturb your girlfriend's afternoon nap?"

"I sincerely want to treat you to a meal; otherwise, I would really feel bad about it."

Ning Xi recognized Boss Zhang's voice.

He Kezhou heard Ning Xi sniffling. "Ning Xi, are you crying?"

Ning Xi tried to make her voice sound normal. "Who's crying? I caught a cold because the air conditioning was too cold. I'm about to start class, so tell me quickly, what's wrong?"

There was a two-second silence on He Kezhou's end. "Boss Zhang wants to invite us to dinner."

Ning Xi heard Boss Zhang say that he insisted she do him the honor of having a meal together.

Listening to Boss Zhang's sincere and enthusiastic voice, she knew that He Kezhou was calling to ask her what she thought.

Ning Xi spoke casually, giving He Kezhou ample face: "I'll follow my boyfriend's arrangements."

Boss Zhang's hearty laughter came through the receiver.

Ning Xi feigned a relaxed tone, told He Kezhou that she had to go to class, and hung up the phone.
