Just Blame Me For Being Blind In the Beginning

Ch 13. Idol

After she left Ren Shanshan's studio, Pei Ying went to the bank to transfer some money to her brother. Then she took a taxi home.

What surprised Pei Ying was that her taxi driver recognized her, even if he only knew her as Shi Jing. But Pei Ying was still really happy. It was, after all, the first time she'd ever been recognized. The feeling was so novel.

When she got home, she turned on her computer and checked her Weibo. Shi Jing's popularity was still rising. She thought she ought to give a greeting to her new fans and return their enthusiasm.

"Mm..." After she thought for a long time, Pei Ying felt that posting a selfie would be the most meaningful.

Hi everyone, this is Pei Ying, the very #LSRR Shi Jing# Thank you all for following me. I'll work even harder from now on ^_^

After she posted that, a lot of fans started leaving messages. After reading some of them, her phone sounded, alerting her of a message.

She picked up her phone and saw a new message in the notification bar.

[Xie Han] (photo)

Pei Ying's eyes jerked. Why was Xie Han contacting her?

She unlocked her phone and opened up her Weixin messenger to see the photo that Xie Han sent her.

[Tao Tao] What I don't get is that there are even people saying that her acting is better than mine. Ah... Are they judging acting skill by the length of your legs? (smile) If she really had any acting talent, she wouldn't still be an 18th-tier actress after all these years (smile)

Pei Ying was taken aback. This was obviously a screenshot of a chat log. Although her name didn't show up in it, but the contents of the message matched up with her own situation.

The 'her' that Tao Tao mentioned was probably her.

Pei Ying bit her lip and stared at the message. Although she and Tao Tao were in the same company, their relationship was never the best. And in the entertainment industry, she'd seen her fair share of double-faced characters. She didn't find it the least bit surprising that Tao Tao would say something like this.

Her phone rang again. Xie Han had sent another message. "Tao Tao said that in her personal chat group."

Personal chat? Pei Ying's eyes moved slightly. Being able to join her chat group meant that she really trusted someone, otherwise she wouldn't dare say something like this. But now a screenshot of her text was being circulated, which meant that someone who wanted to ruin her had slipped into her group. She was really too careless with her words.

But what was Xie Han's intention for sending her this image? Did they want Pei Ying to roll up her sleeves and go take care of Tao Tao? Pei Ying laughed. Although she didn't like how Tao Tao stabbed others in the back, she didn't much care for how Xie Han was trying to stir up trouble either.

She exited the chat window and pretended she hadn't seen anything. As for Tao Tao, Pei Ying was sure it wasn't the first time that she'd spoken badly about someone else in her chat group. Since there was already someone who'd slipped into the group, then Pei Ying would just sit back as part of the audience.

When Tao Tao finally ran into someone with a bigger temper, there'd be a good show to watch.

She scrolled through her Weibo feed a bit and then she opened up the work documents that Chen Sheng gave her.

XY was one of the best-selling magazines in the nation, and well-deservedly too. The fact that Pei Ying got the chance to do a photoshoot for it, even if her face just showed up on a page inside, made her extremely happy. (Note: It looks like the author didn't give the magazine a name at this posting, so I'll just call it XY Magazine for now)
