100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress
Chapter 108 Completely Disappointed
Nancy's fear didn't seem feigned; she kept muttering those two words.
Meng Tingwan listened several times before she could understand. Then she turned her gaze to the two people who came in, her eyes full of defensiveness and vigilance.
Before Meng Yunting could say anything, Lu Ke, who was standing next to him, reprimanded him, "Meng Tingwan, what kind of expression is that? We are your parents, not your enemies!"
Meng Tingwan didn't reply, but instead said to Cen Yi, "Take Xixi out and wait for a while."
"Yes."
Cen Yi nodded, put his hand on Nancy's shoulder, and carefully carried her into his arms as they left the ward.
As she passed by the two of them, Nancy glanced up at them.
Meng Yunting turned his head and met her deep gaze.
Although he couldn't see her face clearly, the wet look in her eyes felt very familiar to him.
It seems like many years ago, I also saw a pair of eyes filled with terror, fear, and sadness.
After the two left, Meng Tingwan spoke up, "What are you doing here?"
"Of course I came to see how Aunt Guo is doing. After all, she's been working here for so long. She accidentally fell down the stairs this time, so I definitely had to come and comfort her."
Lu Ke never gave Meng Tingwan a kind look. After saying this, she looked at her coldly and said, "And you, is this how you talk to your parents? If those reporters take pictures, it will really embarrass the Meng family."
"Hmph! Shameful. I didn't know you had any shame?" Meng Tingwan saw Lu Ke looking at her like she was an enemy, and for a moment she wondered if she was really their biological daughter.
If others treat a child badly, it's very possible that the child isn't their own. But for them, as the biological parents, to hurt themselves with such words is just too much!
"Mrs. Meng and Chairman Meng are truly good employers. When your housekeeper falls, you both rush to the hospital to see her, but when your own daughter is hospitalized, you never visit her even once." Meng Tingwan's words were laced with undisguised sarcasm.
And this is indeed the case.
She didn't know if these two people were genuinely good people, or just good people who were good to others.
Just as Lu Ke was about to retort, Meng Yunting grabbed her arm and gave her a wink.
Seeing this, Lu Ke had no choice but to give up, but her gaze towards Meng Tingwan remained unfriendly, even showing some disgust.
“Xiao Wan, you are my and your mother’s daughter, that will never change, but you also need to learn to be more obedient. Your mother’s mental state is already not good because of what happened that year, and you are still provoking her like this. Aren’t you afraid that something will happen to her?” Meng Yunting did not start by blaming her, but it was not much different.
Meng Tingwan picked at her palms, looking at the two people in front of her with disappointment. "I don't know how much more obedient I can be. Since you don't like me, and you've already seen Guo Ma, you should just leave now."
If I had any lingering feelings for them before, they have completely vanished today.
She had once wanted to run into their arms and tell them that she was sick, and that it was a lifelong, incurable illness, hoping that they would no longer blame her for losing her sister back then.
But instead of care and love, she was met with her mother's vicious words: "Why wasn't it her who died back then?"
If it weren't for me, my sister and my unborn brother might have survived.
Her mother said she never wanted to see herself again.
So in those five years, she never returned to the Meng family.
Except for that one time when Lu Ke came to find him.
And this is even more true today.
Just because your mother is mentally unwell, does that mean you're perfectly fine?
Do you think it's easy to suffer from this disease for so long?
But whether or not these things are said is no longer important.
Having accumulated enough disappointment, she no longer wanted to crave that humble and pitiful paternal and maternal love.
Lu Ke was annoyed just looking at her, so he didn't say anything and turned to leave.
Meng Yunting glanced at Guo Ma on the hospital bed, and before leaving, he said to Meng Tingwan, "Xiaowan, it's time to put your marriage with Lin An on the agenda."
"I won't marry him, so give up on that idea." Meng Tingwan looked up and met Meng Yunting's eyes, her gloomy expression mirroring his.
For some reason, Meng Yunting smiled and said something completely out of the blue, "Just like me."
After saying that, he left.
Meng Tingwan sat on the stool for a while to calm down before going out to find Nancy and Cen Yi.
Cen Yi led her not far, into the nearby emergency exit.
After watching the Meng couple leave, he pulled Nancy out and happened to see Meng Tingwan.
"Xixi, are you alright? What happened just now?"
Nancy has returned to normal, but she can't quite remember what happened earlier.
"Sister Tingwan, what just happened?"
Meng Tingwan felt strange when she heard her ask this question.
Only a dozen minutes have passed, how come she doesn't remember?
"Xixi, didn't you just see two people and say you were scared? Do you remember?" Meng Tingwan prompted with her question.
Nancy frowned, unable to recall anything about the two people she had just met.
"Two people? Who are they? I don't remember ever seeing them before."
Cen Yi, who was standing next to her, was also very surprised and exchanged a glance with Meng Tingwan.
"Miss Meng, what's wrong with her...?"
Meng Tingwan patted her head affectionately and hugged Nancy tightly, saying with heartache, "It's okay, it's alright if you don't remember. She wasn't a good person anyway."
Even so, she still didn't understand why Nancy would do that.
Finally, Meng Tingwan asked Cen Yi to take her home, while she stayed at the hospital to keep watch.
Cen Yi couldn't disobey, but knowing that Cheng Yu had arranged for people to protect Meng Tingwan, he left with Nancy.
In the ward, Guo's mother lay quietly on the bed.
On the sofa next to her, Meng Tingwan had a splitting headache and was restless.
So much has happened these past two days that her emotions have become somewhat unstable again.
So she picked up her bag, found the medicine she always carried with her, and drank a few pills with some cold water.
I had just finished taking my medicine when my phone, which was on the table, lit up.
It was a WeChat message from Meng Yunshu: "Xiao Wan, I'll be going back to China in the next few days."
Meng Tingwan quickly replied: 【What happened?】
Meng Yunshu: [Your father, my dear elder brother, is going to hold a board meeting to announce the new chairman.]
Board of Directors?
Meng Tingwan recalled what the maid had said. Huo Lin'an had visited the Meng family today. Could it be to discuss this matter?
Could Guo's mother's injury be related to overhearing their conversation and then being attacked by the two of them...?
She didn't dare to think about what happened next.
Meng Tingwan gripped her phone tightly. "Okay, I understand."
She turned off the screen, turned her head to look at Guo Ma lying on the bed with bandages wrapped around her head and body, and her eyes gradually reddened.
If it really was Huo Lin'an and Meng Yunting who caused this, I will definitely make them pay the price.
