100 Days of Rebirth: The Loyal Dog of the Cold and Aloof Actress

Inside the bedroom, Meng Tingwan was sitting on the bed at some point, clutching the blanket tightly with both hands, her eyes unfocused as she stared at a certain spot.

He was muttering something unconsciously.

When Sister Yan pushed the door open, she thought the woman was still asleep, so she didn't knock.

The room was completely dark, so Sister Yan reached out and turned on the wall lamp.

In the instant he turned around, he saw Meng Tingwan sitting there looking at him.

Sister Yan was startled, clutching her heart, and asked softly, "Miss Meng, you're awake."

Meng Tingwan didn't speak, but she seemed to hear the sound of rain outside, so she turned her head to look.

Sister Yan stood there for a while before daring to go forward.

"It's raining again," Meng Tingwan murmured.

She looked at the curtains that weren't fully drawn, and through the glass, in the dim light from outside, she could see fine raindrops falling rapidly.

When Sister Yan got closer, she noticed that the woman was covered in sweat. She took out some tissues to wipe her down and replied, "Yes, it's raining, but it's not heavy. It will stop in a while."

After quickly wiping her down, I took a coat from the side and draped it over her shoulders. "Didn't you say you wanted to eat wontons? I've made them. Do you want to eat here, or go downstairs?"

When Meng Tingwan heard the word "wonton," her blank face finally showed a hint of expression.

"Wonton".

"Yes, your favorite fresh shrimp filling."

"Then let's go down."

"Okay, let's go down and eat."

Sister Yan supported her waist and led her into the restaurant.

"Miss Meng, please have a seat. I'll go make some wontons."

"Ah."

Meng Tingwan agreed and sat down in the chair.

I had just sat down for a short while when Diudiu ran over from the side, a plush toy in her mouth.

It jumped onto the chair next to Meng Tingwan and put the toy down.

"Diudiu, are you full?"

Meng Tingwan's expression suddenly became very kind, completely different from before.

Diudiu rubbed against her palm and pushed the toy with its mouth to show her.

Meng Tingwan then noticed the plush toy.

It was a very cute yellow star doll, which she placed in the storage room on the first floor.

Judging from the looks of it, it's probably Diudiu who ran in and got it again.

Meng Tingwan picked it up and gently touched it with her hand. Tears quickly welled up in her eyes. "Diudiu, you miss her too, don't you?"

The only response she received was a soft sob from Diudiu, "Waaah~"

"My sister misses her too." Meng Tingwan's eyes reddened, and a tear slid down her cheek.

When Sister Yan brought the wontons up, she saw the star-shaped doll in Meng Tingwan's hand and noticed her staring at it in a daze.

Luckily, it was Diudiu who carried it out. If someone else had taken the things out of the storage room, Meng Tingwan would definitely have gotten angry.

"Miss Meng, the wontons are ready, please eat."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tingwan closed her eyes, wiped away her tears, placed the doll on her lap, and forced a smile, "Sister Yan, you should eat too."

"it is good."

Sister Yan knew she couldn't eat much at night, so she didn't cook that much.

Seeing that she was eating with relish, I felt relieved.

As they were finishing their meal, Sister Yan asked, "Miss Meng, it's raining tonight. Would you like me to stay and keep you company?"

Meng Tingwan pulled out a tissue to wipe her mouth. "No need, just go back as soon as you're done cleaning up."

"Ok."

So Sister Yan didn't insist any further.

She prefers to live alone, and only stays here occasionally, mostly going home.

When Sister Yan left, the rain had already subsided.

Meng Tingwan sat on the sofa and watched her leave.

The moment the door closed, the entire apartment fell silent.

I could faintly hear the sound of raindrops falling outside.

Diudiu hugged the star-shaped doll back to its doghouse, lay down inside, and closed its eyes.

Meng Tingwan sat with her knees drawn up to her chest, resting her chin on her hand.

The warm-colored lights in the living room only illuminated the spot where she was sitting.

The figure bathed in light looked lonely, desolate, and sorrowful.

She didn't know how long she had been sitting there when the doorbell suddenly rang.

Meng Tingwan sighed, surprised that someone would come so late at night.

But the doorbell was really annoying, so she had no choice but to get up and hobble to the door to open it.

Upon opening the door and seeing the person standing outside, Meng Tingwan's pupils dilated for a moment, her fingers on the door unconsciously curled up, and her voice trembled slightly.

"What are you here for?"

Standing outside the door was a middle-aged woman with the same face shape as Meng Tingwan, but her features were softer.

The woman's serious expression made her seem unapproachable, even somewhat frightening.

After hearing Meng Tingwan's words, Lu Ke frowned unhappily and said in a sharp voice, "I'm your mother, do I need a reason to come here?"

Meng Tingwan fell silent.

This was her first time visiting this place since she returned to China.

"unnecessary."

Meng Tingwan twitched the corner of her mouth and turned to walk inside.

Lu Ke stepped inside, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Meng Tingwan's left foot, which made walking difficult.

The Weibo post said she fell very badly, but in her opinion, it wasn't that serious; at least she could still walk.

Meng Tingwan sat back in her seat and put her feet on the low stool next to her.

Lu Ke didn't sit down immediately; she looked around the room as soon as she came in.

"Aren't you a movie queen? How come you live in a place like this?"

His tone seemed to carry sarcasm and skepticism.

The price of apartments in Lanshan is already quite high for ordinary people, but for the truly wealthy people in Yuezhou, it's dirt cheap.

Given Meng Tingwan's net worth, living here is indeed not quite commensurate with her title as a Best Actress.

Because this is just a small duplex, the overall area is not large, but it has a great location, good natural light, and exquisite decoration.

Most importantly, she usually lives alone. Sister Yan only stays there occasionally, and she doesn't like the space because it's too big and feels too spacious.

"It's nice here, I'm very comfortable."

Knowing that Lu Ke disliked this place, Meng Tingwan didn't intend to explain too much.

She won't listen anyway.

Lu Ke glanced at it and then sat down on the sofa opposite, not taking Meng Tingwan's words to heart.

“Where you want to live is your freedom, I don’t care,” Lu Ke said. “Your foot looks like it’s almost healed.”

"Yeah, almost."

Meng Tingwan responded indifferently.

Originally, I was still looking forward to it, but Lu Ke came to ask me because she saw it trending on social media.

Unexpectedly, she didn't even ask any questions, just said that it looked like it would be ready soon.

Meng Tingwan mocked herself inwardly.

So many years have passed, especially after that incident, I should have gotten used to it by now.

Lu Ke was somewhat dissatisfied with her cold attitude, even a little angry. "Meng Tingwan, I'm your mother. You talk to me without even looking up?"

Meng Tingwan immediately looked up at her, "My mom?"

"I don't think my mom would wait five years after I returned to China at the age of twenty before coming here to see me."

From my previous life until my death, I never met my parents.

In this rebirth, I was actually able to meet Lu Ke.

Meng Tingwan didn't know whether to feel fortunate or sad.

But she thought that if they met like this, she should feel sad.
