The Abused Heroine Stops Pretending [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 46

Because her confession was successful, Tang Jing was too excited to sleep that night. As the sun began to rise on the horizon, she finally felt a bit drowsy. Just as she was about to fall asleep, her phone rang beside her.

She picked it up and glanced at it, it was actually a call from her manager, Sister Ying.

Why was she calling at a little past five in the morning?

Tang Jing sat up in bed again and answered the call.

“Tang Jing.” Ying Tianhe’s voice was practically seething.

“Hmm?” Sensing something off in her manager’s tone, Tang Jing’s first thought was that she had ended up on Weibo again and not in a good way. Just as she was about to check Weibo.

Ying Tianhe’s attitude did a complete 180. “You did well this time.”

“What do you mean?” Tang Jing’s brain wasn’t working as quickly due to exhaustion.

“Still pretending you don’t know? I’ve already seen it.” When Ying Tianhe first saw the trending topic, her initial reaction was worry. But after seeing the content, all that was left was joy.

As long as the scandal wasn’t with Sun Sijia, everything was fine.

Moreover, Tang Jing’s rumored partner was exactly who she had hoped for.

“You and Xiaoxue were photographed. They’re saying the two of you had a late-night date and went in and out of a hotel together.” Ying Tianhe sat in her leather chair, spinning it as she looked out the window, radiating the satisfaction of a parent finally seeing their child married off.

While Ying Tianhe was speaking, Tang Jing had already logged into Weibo.

From her manager’s tone, she could tell that the public’s reaction to this scandal trending was likely positive.

Sure enough, as soon as she opened Weibo, she saw countless private messages flooding her inbox. Every single one she clicked on was congratulating her.

This surprised her a little. When she clicked into the trending hashtag, the comments were overwhelmingly supportive.

And in that short span of time, another hashtag had been pushed up by netizens:

#TheCPILoveIsReal#

At first, she didn’t realize this hashtag was about her and Meng Xue. It wasn’t until she saw numerous mentions of it in her own trending topic that she clicked in out of curiosity.

Then, she was immediately bombarded by the screaming comments from the two major CP fandoms, “Jing Plays with Snow” and “Tang Wanders in Meng”, and was utterly stunned.

The onslaught of excited comments made her instinctively hold her phone farther away, as if annoyed. But in reality, the corners of her lips curled up.

After all, how could she not be happy that her relationship with Meng Xue had received so many blessings from netizens?

The exhaustion from earlier vanished in an instant, replaced by a surge of energy. She even wanted to share this good news with Meng Xue right away.

But after checking the time, she suppressed the impulse.

On the other end, Ying Tianhe estimated that Tang Jing had seen enough by now and decided to share the information she had obtained earlier.

When it came to this matter, Ying Tianhe’s earlier smile disappeared, replaced by seriousness. “Do you know who took those photos?”

“Sun Sijia.”

Ying Tianhe was momentarily stunned, then laughed. “I forgot right now, she’s the one who hates you the most.”

Tang Jing was even in the mood to joke. “I’ve always had great relationships in the industry.”

The underlying meaning was clear: she didn’t actually have any real enemies.

Ying Tianhe couldn’t help but laugh. “Actually, it’s kind of funny. If it weren’t for Sun Sijia orchestrating this whole mess, you and Meng Xue…” She paused mid-sentence, suddenly feeling something was off. After a brief moment of thought, she raised an eyebrow and asked, “Wait, so you and Meng Xue really went on a late-night date and were seen entering a hotel together?”

Tang Jing: “…” For a moment, she felt like Ying-jie’s IQ had taken a nosedive.

“No, no,” Ying Tianhe quickly corrected herself. “You two are in the same production crew and staying at the same hotel, so it’s normal to come and go together.” Hesitating slightly, she then asked, “So, the reason you didn’t refute the trending topic was because you and Meng Xue are actually together?”

At this question, the corners of Tang Jing’s lips curled up again. “We just confirmed it an hour and a half ago.”

“Really?!” Ying Tianhe laughed happily. “I genuinely bless you two. That girl Xue, the more I see her, the more I like her. She’s sweet and obedient, and most importantly, she can keep you in check.”

Tang Jing’s mouth twitched. “…That last part is what you really wanted to say, isn’t it?”

Ying Tianhe chuckled.

Tang Jing, rarely playful, added, “I’m more than willing to be kept in check by her.”

After all, that person was her most beloved senior. How could she not be willing to be restrained by her senior?

Ying Tianhe was so startled by this sudden romantic line that she got goosebumps and hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, enough of this. I won’t keep you any longer. Get some sleep, and we’ll talk more when you wake up.”

“Okay.”

After hanging up, Tang Jing checked Weibo again. When she turned off the screen, her expression turned cold as she recalled Ying-jie’s earlier words.

“Sun Sijia,” she muttered coldly.

In the past, she had let her off because she didn’t want to bother with her, but this person showed no gratitude and was still scheming behind her back.

Fortunately, netizens adored Meng Xue, and the online response had been positive.

Had Meng Xue been dragged through the mud by netizens because of Sun Sijia’s stunt, Tang Jing wouldn’t have hesitated to confront her directly.

But now, she really needed to pay her a visit otherwise, who knew what tricks the other party might pull next?

After all, it’s better to strike first than to constantly be on guard.
