Her chest heaved violently, and anger gushed from her eyes.

Shen Mengyao forcefully broke free from Lin Yuan's embrace and rushed straight towards her roommate who was cursing her.

Her eyebrows were tightly furrowed as she stared straight at Lin Chengxi.

"What exactly are you trying to do?! Why are you always targeting me? We're roommates! Lin! Cheng! Xi!"

Her fair face flushed red with extreme anger, like a ripe apple.

"say!"

Before Shen Mengyao could finish venting her emotions, a broad, kind hand gently landed on her shoulder.

He gently pulled her back to the man's side.

It turned out to be Lin Yuan, who was protecting Shen Mengyao behind him.

He turned his head and looked coldly at Lin Chengxi, his eyes revealing an undisguised warning.

"No matter who you are, pushing people like this is extremely dangerous."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chengxi merely snorted disdainfully, his eyes filled with contempt, and crossed his arms.

"roommate?"

"She was clearly putting on a pitiful and weak act, pretending to be bumped into, in order to gain everyone's sympathy."

"They pretend to be innocent and pure, but who knows how many dirty things they've done behind the scenes using this tactic!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression also turned gloomy.

Her silver tongue is somewhat similar to Zhao Lili's...

He subconsciously pulled Shen Mengyao, who was standing behind him, even further behind him to protect her.

At the same time, he shouted angrily at Lin Chengxi.

"You woman! You hit someone first, and instead of apologizing, you're here arguing and trying to justify yourself!"

At this moment, Lin Chengxi showed no sign of backing down.

She felt a strange sense of familiarity about the man in front of her.

It seems...familiar.

Could it be... the former number one on the list?

Then, her gaze became even more defiant.

"Oh my, look how nervous you are, protecting yourself so tightly!"

"Could it be that you're the top spender for this ruthless, seemingly innocent woman? How much money did you spend to get her to come here?"

"Excuse me, I'm sorry to interrupt your enjoyment at the hotel."

This barrage of words was undoubtedly aimed directly at Shen Mengyao's heart.

She felt a rush of heat to her head.

My face felt like it was being burned by fire, burning unbearably hot.

His body trembled uncontrollably with anger.

After holding back her anger for a long time, Shen Mengyao could no longer contain it and hysterically shouted at Lin Chengxi.

"You're utterly slanderous!"

At this moment, a large crowd gathered in front of the elevator on the first floor of the mall, with many people coming to watch the spectacle.

Whispers and discussions abounded as people curiously speculated about what had happened in front of the elevator.

Shen Mengyao stood in the center of the crowd, took a deep breath, and calmed the turbulent emotions in her heart.

She mustered her courage and calmly released the pent-up grievances she had been suppressing.

"I've never provoked you, so why are you always targeting me? Besides, you've been away from the dorm all the time these past few weeks!"

Lin Chengxi crossed his arms, about to retort.

Then I spotted a familiar figure in the crowd.

The figure was hurrying towards them.

Her expression changed, as if she had done something wrong, and she quickly turned around.

They attempted to blend into the crowd and escape.

However, Shen Mengyao reacted quickly and grabbed Lin Chengxi's wrist.

"Trying to run? Not so easy! We need to get this straight today..."

Before Shen Mengyao could finish speaking, a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses and bald on top, rushed forward.

He pulled Lin Chengxi behind him.

The middle-aged man was slightly overweight and spoke Mandarin with a regional accent.

"What's going on here? Hehe."

Lin Chengxi looked up at the bald middle-aged man, his hands hanging down at his sides like boneless vines.

She looked pitiful and incredibly aggrieved, muttering softly.

"Brother Hui, you have to help me! This person is my roommate. She's always been jealous of me, and now she's publicly humiliating me."

"We Xixi are young and beautiful, like flowers in full bloom, and we're adorned with gold and silver, so it's easy for us to attract jealousy!"

Lin Chengxi's number one fan, Brother Hui, patted her delicate face with a smug look on his face.

Then, with a look full of disdain, he glanced sideways at Lin Yuan, who was tightly protecting Shen Mengyao behind him.

"Look at your outfit, you seem like someone who cares about appearances. Be smart and take that shorty with you, and we'll call it even today."

Hearing these words, Lin Yuan, who was holding Shen Mengyao's small hand, felt a mix of emotions welling up inside him.

That Lin Chengxi is really good at causing trouble!

They had previously made a huge scene at the "donkey" shop.

Right now, they're bullying Shen Mengyao right in front of me!

Before Lin Yuan could respond, a crisp system notification sounded in his mind again: "Ding!"

"Sensing the host's strong desire for prestige in public, we are bestowing upon the host a small perk."

"If you can successfully avenge Shen Mengyao within the next thirty minutes, you will receive a reward—Master-level Fighting Skills!"

hey-hey!

Only the system truly understands me!

We need to teach this arrogant and ignorant Lin Chengxi a lesson today.

Let her know what the power of a system is!

Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head and burst into laughter.

He stared directly at Hui, the top-ranking member of Lin Chengxi's gang.
