The Abused Heroine Stops Pretending [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 47

Tang Jing deliberately waited until Meng Xue had some free time today before making the call.

Meng Xue accepted the water handed to her by her assistant with a word of thanks. She had just taken a couple of sips when the assistant hurried over, phone in hand. “Sister Meng, Teacher Tang is calling.”

“Alright.” Meng Xue took the phone and stepped aside to answer. “Teacher Tang.”

“When’s your next scene?”

“In half an hour.” Meng Xue glanced over at the crew members preparing the props.

“Have you seen what’s happening online?” Tang Jing got straight to the point.

“Yeah, Xiaoxiao told me earlier.”

“What are your thoughts?” Tang Jing wanted to gauge Meng Xue’s stance.

Having essentially confirmed their relationship last night, Meng Xue was surprised but not panicked by the online chatter. In fact, hearing so many netizens wishing them well had kept her smiling all day.

Feeling playful, Meng Xue teased, “What about you? How do you want to handle it?”

She tossed the ball back into Tang Jing’s court, leaving the latter both amused and exasperated. But Tang Jing quickly proposed her idea: “Make it official.”

Meng Xue’s heart skipped a beat. Softly, she said, “Teacher Tang, if we announce it now, won’t the netizens…”

After all, the two photos circulating online made it clear to anyone familiar with their recent schedules that they were working on the same drama.

So most of the well-wishes probably weren’t genuine. If they went public now, the situation would change entirely, would those supportive netizens suddenly turn against them?

“Do you trust me?”

Meng Xue froze, then silently laughed to herself, marveling at how effortlessly charming this new transmigrator could be. “Mm,” she replied. “Teacher Tang, I trust you.”

“Good.” Tang Jing was smiling too. Seeing that time was running short, she said, “Go ahead and get ready for your scene. Leave your phone with Xiaoxiao and have her repost my Weibo later.”

Meng Xue hadn’t expected her to act so decisively, without a hint of hesitation.

After hanging up, she handed her phone to Xiaoxiao and hesitated before adding, “Hold onto this for me. If Teacher Tang posts something and I’m busy, help me repost it.”

“Got it.” Xiaoxiao nodded obediently.

A recent college graduate, Xiaoxiao was still learning the ropes, but she always followed Meng Xue’s instructions to the letter.

Just as the online discussions were reaching a fever pitch, Tang Jing posted on Weibo.

Tang Jing V: Thank you all for your blessings. And thank you, for teaching me that love is mutual @Meng Xue.

A simple sentence, but it revealed two key pieces of information to netizens: the ship they were rooting for was real! And judging by the wording, the two might already be together!

[Don’t you think Teacher Tang’s last line sounds like a subtle dig at someone?]

[Yeah, feels like a jab at that little green tea.]

When Sun Sijia saw Tang Jing’s post, her face instantly paled. Now, reading the netizens’ comments, she gave a bitter smile.

Especially when she saw her senior repost Tang Jing’s Weibo with a heart emoji her regret and self-reproach reached their peak.

“Sister Meng?” Xiaoxiao was startled. She had just been about to repost Teacher Tang’s Weibo as instructed when Meng Xue suddenly rushed back over.

Meng Xue held her phone, looking at the post Tang Jing had shared on Weibo. She turned off the screen and placed it in Xiao Xiao’s hands, saying cheerfully, “I’m going back to filming.”

As expected, she couldn’t resist her curiosity and had to see what this newcomer would post.

To her surprise, the post resonated deeply with her.

That Weibo update also revealed another piece of information, Tang Jing’s five years of care for Sun Sijia had been exploited by Sun Sijia time and again. There were many rumors circulating that the two were in a romantic relationship, but Sun Sijia’s responses had always been ambiguous.

Now, with this post and the words Tang Jing had spoken on the variety show, everyone knew the truth.

From beginning to end, Sun Sijia had never loved Tang Jing, and Tang Jing had never loved Sun Sijia either. Everything had been due to her mother’s dying wish.

Now, Tang Jing and Sun Sijia were completely done.

Especially when Meng Xue heard the system notification, [Congratulations, Host, for successfully saving the tragic protagonist. Keep up the good work!] she knew her mission in this world was complete. When to exit and move on to the next world was entirely up to her.

Meanwhile, Tang Jing also received a system notification, though hers was different from Meng Xue’s.

[Congratulations, Host, for unlocking the hidden achievement: The Scum Shou’s Regret. Keep up the good work!]

In the original story, Tang Jing’s love for Sun Sijia had never been reciprocated, and in the end, she was destroyed by Sun Sijia, meeting a tragic death by fire.

But ever since Tang Jing took over this fate, the tables had turned Sun Sijia was now the one being played in her hands.

Still, she wouldn’t go too far. She considered it repayment for Sun Sijia sending the original host’s mother to the hospital, and a way to accumulate some virtue for her mother.

Sun Sijia had long reached a dead end in the industry. Even her agent, Sister Lin, had abandoned her.

All the so-called friends in the circle who had once fawned over her vanished overnight. The directors who had promised collaborations disappeared without a trace.

Only then did she suddenly realize everything she had, whether her status in the industry or her glory, had all been given to her by Tang Jing.

But over these five years, she had lost herself in this world of fame and fortune.
