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

She understood why Cheng Rou and her mother were there.

Cheng Yuelai caused trouble at the car dealership, but He Kezhou dealt with him.

Such a disgusting and despicable man deserves to be beaten to death.

But the last thing she wanted to see was for someone like him to cause trouble for the car dealership and those who cared about her.

Ning Xi felt a surge of anger, and her eyelids flushed slightly.

He Kezhou took her hand and said in a tone that left no room for refusal, "I'll take you home first."

Ning Xi pushed He Kezhou's hand away, looked up at him, her eyes clear as if bathed in moonlight, without any fear, but with a quiet resilience within.

"He Kezhou, you've done more than enough for me."

He Kezhou gripped her hand again, his face cold and fierce: "Be obedient."

While others were terrified, Ning Xi didn't find him scary at all.

Ning Xi smiled gently at him.

She looked at the three men who were protecting her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.

"If you take action because of the trouble I caused, and things get even worse, I will feel guilty."

"You men, you tolerate them because they are women, but I am a woman, and I am not afraid of them."

"This is trouble I caused; I'll handle it myself."

"Trust me, okay? I can handle this."

Ning Xi's last sentence was spoken to He Kezhou.

Meng Yizhen put her hands in her pockets, looked at the determination in Ning Xi's eyes, and took a step back: "We're not afraid of trouble or problems. You try to solve it yourself first, and if you can't, we'll cover for you."

Zhou Zhishui's composed expression softened slightly, and he said to Ning Xi in a particularly harsh tone, "If they insult you, tear their mouths apart. If they dare to lay a finger on you, they'll ask me if my fists will allow it. Just unleash all your usual arrogance and shrewishness."

Ning Xi's lips curled slightly upward, her smile gentle, but her eyes always revealed a calm and resilient strength.

Zhou Zhishui was momentarily stunned by Ning Xi's appearance.

Ning Xi walked up to Cheng Rou.

She ignored the indignant whispers in the crowd.

Cheng Rou looked up at Ning Xi, clutching her chest, her face a mixture of pain, sadness, disappointment, and hurt.

She was still wondering what would happen if Ning Xi didn't show up.

That bitch Ning Xi, she'll ruin her reputation tonight.

And her boyfriend who hit her brother—she'll make him pay.

She had made up her mind and made a plan.

She just wanted to make a big deal out of it.

The people surrounding her, the people who speak up for her, are her source of confidence.

She wants their car dealership to be shut down after tonight.

"Ning Xi, my brother came here out of kindness to support your boyfriend's business. And your boyfriend, instead of being grateful, he attacked you so violently."

"We grew up together, we're neighbors, I considered you my best friend, and you treated my family like this!"

The onlookers strained their ears, their curious glances falling on Ning Xi and He Kezhou.

I understand now. Best friends turn against each other, and men fight over women because of jealousy.

Ning Xi's beauty became the fuse that ignited the malice of others.

"She doesn't look like a docile woman."

"When looking for a girlfriend, you should find one who is virtuous and reliable."

"The more beautiful a woman is, the more cunning she tends to be..."

Ning Xi felt only irony as she listened to these words.

This malice is completely unfounded.

Simply because she is beautiful.

He Kezhou swept his cold gaze over the men and women who were discussing Ning Xi.

Those voices gradually faded away.

Ning Xi glanced at He Ke Hongzhou behind her and gave him a reassuring look.

She noticed Cheng Rou's mother in Cheng Rou's arms, who couldn't help but open her eyes a crack to observe the situation.

Cheng Rou noticed Ning Xi's gaze and pinched her mother hard.

Cheng's mother quickly closed her eyes tightly.

Ning Xi squatted down in front of Cheng Rou and checked Cheng's mother's breathing with her finger: "She's still breathing, so she didn't die of anger."

Her gaze swept across the crowd and landed on the man who had just shouted that someone had died of anger and called an ambulance.

Her gaze was calm as she asked him, "Are you getting involved in this matter that originally had nothing to do with you?"

The person standing next to Cheng Rou was stunned for a moment when Ning Xiqing looked at him with piercing eyes.

Ning Xi's voice was calm and gentle: "Do you know the whole story? Yet you stand up to defend her."

The man's face turned pale and then red as Ning Xi spoke.

Seeing Cheng Rou angrily reach out and swing her hand, Ning Xi calmly withdrew her arm first.

Cheng Rou's slap didn't land; her hand remained suspended in front of her mother's nose.

Ning Xi stood up, staring at Cheng Rou's furious face: "My boyfriend's car dealership is doing very well. It's been almost four months since Boss Meng took over the dealership, and this is the first time someone has caused a scene and made a scene outside the dealership."

"The reputation of the car dealership is well-known to the neighborhood."

Why would my boyfriend hit your brother? Does he even know your brother?

"I've never even told you where my boyfriend works at the car dealership."

Ning Xi's words made Cheng Rou secretly feel uneasy.

Is this still the Ning Xi she knows?

His words were clear and logical, and every sentence was designed to trap her.

Cheng Rou was unwilling to let Ning Xi's few words ruin the situation she had turned around, and she didn't want to be led by Ning Xi's rhythm.

She interrupted Ning Xi, saying, "Everyone, please be the judge... We, the Cheng family, treat her like family and have never mistreated her."

"My brother has always been kinder to her than to me, his younger sister, since we were little. Whenever I have something, my brother will prepare a copy for her as well."

"My brother came to the car dealership to see if she was doing well and to find out if her boyfriend was reliable."

"My parents, grandparents, and other family members felt sorry for her because she grew up without parents, and they treated her like their own child."

Cheng Rou covered her face, sobbing, "I just don't understand... why do you hate my brother so much? All these years of growing up together, all these years of kindness, doesn't it mean anything to you? The better he treats you, the less you treat him like a human being, you have no conscience!"

"If I had a neighbor like that, I would be so grateful and thankful..."

As soon as Cheng Rou finished speaking, all eyes fell on Ning Xi. Some pitied her for not having parents, some secretly criticized her for being ungrateful and scrutinized her, and many others were just looking for a spectacle, eager to dig up more gossip.

Orphaned at a young age and abandoned in an orphanage, this remains an indelible scar in Ning Xi's heart.

Cheng Rou's words stung her heart.

Ning Xi loosened her slightly curled fingertips, suppressing her emotions and showing no sign of anything amiss.

Cheng Rou continued to play the victim, covering her mouth and sobbing: "When you were little, you were bullied by boys at school and were afraid to go home alone. My brother stood up for you, following you around every day and taking you to school. Have you forgotten all of that?"

"Because of you, my brother has been beaten up by those boys countless times..."

"You take his protection for granted without ever feeling sorry for him."

"We are his family. If you don't feel sorry for him, we do."

"For three years of high school, you were ostracized by your classmates. Apart from me, no one wanted to play with you."

"But what did I get in return? Your betrayal."

"You clearly have a boyfriend, yet you still seduced him, and even hooked up with my brother, enjoying the kindness of different men."

Ning Xi had heard enough.

Her drooping hand moved.

Suddenly, she slapped Cheng Rou across the face.

The crisp sound of a slap made the air still.

Her sudden attack left Cheng Rou in disbelief.

Her eyes were blazing with anger, and her face contorted with rage.

Lying in Cheng Rou's arms, Cheng's mother couldn't help but open her eyes instantly upon hearing that her daughter had been beaten.

She instinctively reached out to grab Ning Xi's hair and tear her clothes.

Ning Xi dodged backward, avoiding the outstretched claws of Cheng's mother.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, pointed at Cheng's mother, and exclaimed, "Ah, so you were faking it!"

Those who had spoken up for Cheng Rou and her mother in the crowd felt they had been deceived.

Suddenly, he lost his friendly attitude towards Cheng Rou and her mother.

Cheng Rou jumped to her feet. "Ning Xi, you bitch, how dare you hit me!"

Ning Xi slapped Cheng Rou's right cheek again with her backhand.

The two slaps were clean and crisp, without any hesitation or slack.

He Kezhou shielded Ning Xi with his body the moment those two crazy women were about to attack her.

Ning Xi pulled He Kezhou behind her, shielding him completely with her slender body.

Her aura turned cold, and she stared sharply at Cheng Rou: "Don't put on this victim act, it's disgusting."

"Those boys who bullied me were hired by your brother."

"The girls in my class are isolating me because you said behind my back that I'm dishonest, like to steal things, and that I take advantage of my aunt being the dean of students to tattle on them every day, reporting them for wearing makeup and bringing contraband."

Cheng Rou's smug expression froze instantly, replaced by shock.

Cheng's mother was unable to move because Zhou Zhishui had her hands tied behind her back.

No matter how much she threw a tantrum, Zhou Zhishui remained unmoved.

He didn't touch her, but he also wouldn't let this crazy, old woman move an inch.

If you like spewing nonsense, then go ahead and spew it.

The crowd erupted in uproar, their gazes toward the mother and daughter instantly shifting from sympathy to contempt and disdain.

Ning Xi leaned closer to Cheng Rou and Cheng's mother: "Cheng Yue has repeatedly broken into neighbors' balconies to steal women's underwear. Do you think you've kept this a secret?"

"I can also go back to Hemeng like you, and tell the neighbors about your eldest son's deeds."

"You can throw tantrums and act crazy, and so can I."

Cheng's mother and Cheng Rou's expressions changed drastically.

Ning Xi, how do you know these things?
