Transmigrated as the male lead's roommate's vicious girlfriend
Chapter 56 Trouble
Ning Xi, who had just clocked in at the theater, was completely unaware of what had happened at the car dealership.
Before she even entered the preparation room, she overheard Zheng Shiyin and Sister Wang from the administrative post gossiping about her behind her back.
"Sister Wang, our Teacher Ning is no ordinary woman. She's quite skilled at seducing men. From Wednesday to Friday, she's constantly showered with flowers, gift boxes, and luxury gifts."
The woman called Sister Wang clicked her tongue. "Mr. Wen is so handsome, comes from a wealthy family, and is very generous. Today, his luxury car drove right to the theater entrance. Tell me, why would these rich people just throw money around for no reason?"
"The gifts that were sent over for two days in a row were returned, which is actually a good thing for me."
Zheng Shiyin rested her chin on her hand, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes: "All those gifts Ning Xi didn't want, that man gave them all to you?"
After enjoying two days of freebies, Wang Libai whispered to Zheng Shiyin, "It wasn't given to me for free. Mr. Wen told me to make sure Teacher Ning adds him on WeChat."
"Let's create opportunities for him to bump into each other again."
"If you've received a favor, you have to get it done for them, right?"
Wang Li's tone revealed a hint of anxiety: "My dear Teacher Zheng, please help me think of a way to at least get Teacher Ning to become Mr. Wen's WeChat friend. If Teacher Ning wants to return these gifts today, then you can have the money."
Zheng Shiyin glanced at the bouquet, which looked expensive at first glance. "It's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm the one being ostracized in the office right now..."
Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Ning Xi standing outside the preparation room and gave Wang Li a wink.
At this moment, Wang Li also saw Ning Xi.
She patted her chest. "Teacher Ning, why didn't you say anything when you arrived? You startled me."
Ning Xi lowered her gaze slightly, her usually gentle eyes now tinged with indifference.
"I'm afraid it will bother you and cause you to gossip behind my back."
Zheng Shiyin and Wang Li's expressions changed.
As they spend more time with her, they'll find that Ning Xi is easy to talk to and has a good temper, unless it involves matters of principle. However, that doesn't mean she doesn't have a temper.
She stood there, her expression indifferent, her gaze sweeping over us with a nonchalant air. Though she showed no anger, it inexplicably made people afraid to look at her.
There was a subtle pause in the office atmosphere for a few seconds.
Ning Xi looked at the bouquet of roses and gift box on her workstation and said to Wang Li bluntly, "Teacher Wang, please don't send me these gifts in the future."
Her lips pressed into a straight line, her aura turned cold, and her displeasure was clearly written all over her face.
Wang Li awkwardly picked up the bouquet and gift box from the table. "Mr. Wen's feelings for you are also genuine..."
Ning Xi interrupted her: "Teacher Wang, when you came to deliver the things on your first day, I clearly told you that I have a boyfriend."
What you perceive as genuine sincerity from others is, to me, harassment.
Wang Li had accepted favors from others, so she already felt guilty in front of Ning Xi.
Ning Xi's words made him look a little uncomfortable. "I won't help deliver these things anymore. We're colleagues, I'm just trying to make things better for you, aren't I?"
Ning Xi chuckled softly, but her voice lacked any real humor: "You received favors from others, harbored your own selfish motives, and now you claim it's for my own good?"
Wang Li left the preparation room sheepishly.
Dai Yilan came in from outside and asked Ning Xi with a smile, "Are you throwing a tantrum?"
Ning Xi pressed her temples, her face showing an unusual look of annoyance.
Dai Yilan handed her a cup of coffee, "Drink it while you're still angry."
Ning Xi took the coffee and handed Teacher Dai a box of blueberries from her bag.
The two of them feeding each other has become a daily routine.
Ning Xi: "Getting angry can easily cause nodules."
Dai Yilan liked Ning Xi's stable emotions and her ability to always make herself feel better.
Ning Xi took a sip of her iced Americano and shuddered from the bitterness.
Zheng Shiyin propped her injured leg up on a chair, leaned back, and drank water, her gaze fixed on Ning Xi and Dai Yilan.
She found the way the two of them were being affectionate particularly irritating.
Zheng Shiyin picked up her crutches and limped out of the office.
Dai Yilan and Ning Xi went to change into their practice clothes, and Dai reminded her, "Zheng Shiyin is probably off sucking up to Director Huang right now. If your name isn't added to her three plays, don't help her with the choreography."
When it comes to their own interests, everyone has their own scales to weigh.
Zheng Shiyin wanted to be recognized for her outstanding performance and was trying her best to please her superiors.
Ning Xi is a newcomer, so it's inevitable that she'll suffer some losses.
Fortunately, after spending time with Ning Xi, she discovered that Ning Xi was not a pushover.
Ning Xi felt a warmth in her heart. "I'm so lucky to have met such wonderful colleagues."
Dai Yilan pinched her cheek, "Because you deserve to be treated well."
Everyone was busy in the afternoon.
After Ning Xi finished her evening class, her right eyelid kept twitching.
From the moment she got on the subway after get off work until she got off, her eyelids kept twitching.
She didn't see He Kezhou outside the subway station.
Ning Xi guessed that he was probably too busy at the car dealership to pick her up.
The walk back wouldn't take more than a few minutes, and Ning Xi slowly made her way back.
The streets and neighborhoods are bustling at night.
Ning Xi saw many people coming out of the residential area.
The conversation of two men passing by her reached her ears.
"The residents' group said there's something interesting to see on Linli Street. Hurry up and go, or the excitement will be over by the time you get there."
"What's so interesting about two crazy women trying to extort money and throwing a tantrum?"
"It's not that simple. I heard he was a car dealership employee who beat the man's son to a pulp at lunchtime and even broke one of his hands. The two women were the man's mother and his sister."
"What caused it?"
"It's said that the girlfriend of a car dealership employee was promiscuous and seduced men everywhere, and the two men got into a fight over her because of jealousy."
"You saying that gets me all excited! Run, run faster..."
Ning Xi stopped walking as soon as she heard the car was approaching.
She pressed her right eyelid, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Ning Xi called He Kezhou as she walked towards the car.
"The number you dialed is currently switched off..."
The cold, impersonal notification sound made Ning Xi start running towards the car dealership.
When she arrived, there were quite a few people standing on the street outside the car dealership.
Ning Xi squeezed into the crowd and heard two familiar female voices.
"Is there no law anymore? Your heartless shop beats people in broad daylight. My son, a perfectly healthy person, was severely injured and is still lying in the hospital unconscious."
A middle-aged woman with disheveled hair sat on the ground, clutching a broken, switched-off black cell phone tightly in her hand.
She pounded her fists on the cold ground, her cries shrill and piercing: "If my son dies, I'll fight you to the death!"
He Kezhou stood outside the car dealership, his trouser leg being grabbed by a woman's tantrum. His eyes revealed impatience and coldness.
Zhou Zhishui and Meng Yizhen were blocked by Cheng Rou.
Zhou Zhishui said with a stern face, "I don't touch women. Get out of my way."
Cheng Rou opened her arms, her eyes red-rimmed, "You're not allowed to leave. I want an explanation from you."
"Your store employees beat my brother severely without even asking what happened, and you think you can just let it go like this?"
Cheng Rou looked at He Kezhou with agitation, "I want him to pay me back and apologize."
Meng Yizhen lifted her eyelids. "Where's the evidence?"
Cheng Rou felt like her back molars were about to shatter.
They had already called the police, and the police came and checked the surveillance footage, but the footage didn't capture anything.
The car dealership owner insisted that his employees had not injured anyone.
