The Comeback of the Cannon-Fodder Supporting Actress

Xiang Boyuan took Xiao Yuan for a walk in the neighborhood.

One man and one dog weren’t walking fast. Xiao Yuan would occasionally run to the roadside to play for a while, or want to pick a flower when he saw one, or try to catch a bug. If a bird flew by, he’d even chase after it, appearing especially lively.

Xiang Boyuan had to be constantly on the lookout for trouble from his dog, which was quite tiring.

Just as Xiao Yuan was having a great time, the phone hanging around his neck rang.

The crew saw Xiao Yuan take the phone out and place it on the ground, pressing the answer button with a paw.

The cameraman quickly captured this scene.

The phone connected, and everyone expected to hear some noise or thought maybe a friend of Xiang Boyuan’s had called. They were particularly interested, guessing which celebrity it might be.

Instead, a meow came from the phone.

”Meow.”

Hearing the meow, everyone saw the eyes of Xiang Boyuan’s dog light up, and he barked once.

The cat on the other end meowed again: ”Meow.”

And so, a cat and a dog took turns, with meows and barks going back and forth.

Finally, even Xiao Yuan was compelled to meow: ”Meow.”

Then the call was disconnected.

The cameraman wiped his sweat and muttered quietly, ”Looks like even in the animal kingdom, they need to learn foreign languages.”

Everyone burst into laughter.

After Xiao Yuan put the phone back in the bag, Xiang Boyuan went over to talk to him: ”Dangdang, was that call from Dingding?”

Xiao Yuan nodded.

He walked over, bit onto Xiang Boyuan’s pant leg, and tugged him outside.

Xiang Boyuan quickly understood, ”You mean you want to bring Dingding over to play?”

Xiao Yuan barked once.

Xiang Boyuan laughed, ”Alright, I’ll call Dingding’s owner when we get back and see if we can arrange for Dingding to come and play.”

Over at Anning’s side, Yu Xin made several outfits for Anning.

Yu Xin was raised by her grandmother from a young age. Her grandmother was a traditional woman, skilled in embroidery, musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, and painting, almost like a lady from an ancient painting. Yu Xin learned a lot too, and although her embroidery wasn’t exceptional, she could hand-sew clothes.

The clothes she made for Anning were quite beautiful, and Anning felt his own temperament improved after wearing them, strutting around the room proudly, occasionally calling Yu Xin for a compliment.

Yu Xin was both amused and exasperated by her cat.

”Alright, I know Dingding looks especially beautiful, elegant, and noble in the clothes. Dingding is the most beautiful, noble, and adorable cat in the world, and sister’s favorite.”

Yu Xin complimented continuously until Anning was satisfied.

Yu Xin crouched down, ”Dingding, what should we film?”

Anning meowed, then pulled over his phone. After pressing a few buttons with his paws, an audio clip started playing.

The audio was a scene from a classic TV drama, a very iconic dialogue.

Once the audio played, Anning started mimicking various expressions and actions, trying to match the audio.

Yu Xin watched, eyes wide in shock.

She realized her cat, Dingding, truly had a talent for acting. Despite being a cat, her expressions were almost human-like and matched the audio perfectly, looking adorable and hilarious, truly heart-melting.

Seizing the chance, Yu Xin filmed the whole scene.

Then, she found another audio clip for Anning, and after listening once, Anning started mimicking expressions and movements again, even mouthing the words as if she were speaking. Yu Xin filmed while laughing, eventually laughing so hard that she clutched her stomach and rolled on the floor.

She edited and produced the footage, then uploaded it to a short video platform.

Anning’s video went viral shortly after being uploaded.

Riding the wave, Yu Xin filmed another clip and uploaded it.

A few days later, Anning’s videos were being shared wildly across platforms, on Weibo, in friend circles, on major websites, and some even used them as emoticons.

At this time, Xiang Boyuan contacted Yu Xin, asking if he could bring Dingding over to his home to play with Dangdang.

Yu Xin asked Anning, and after he agreed, she said yes to Xiang Boyuan.

After being taken to the Xiang Family, Anning participated in a show recording. Once aired, both she and Xiao Yuan became incredibly popular.

Some even paired her and Xiao Yuan as a ”couple,” calling them the Dingdang duo, some called them the feline and canine duo, and parents even scolded children, saying they weren’t as good as cats and dogs, comparing them to Xiao Yuan and Anning.

Capitalizing on this opportunity, Yu Xin appeared on camera herself, doing several live broadcasts, and quickly gained fame.

She worked steadily, and with a multitude of followers, she used her earnings from live streaming to invest in a web series, which she both funded and starred in, with Xiang Boyuan helping to assemble the production team.

This web series, once completed, was sold to an online platform and unexpectedly went viral. It garnered tens of billions of views, making Yu Xin a fortune. She reinvested this money into a TV series, again playing the lead, and asked Xiang Boyuan to be the male lead.

During filming, Yu Xin brought Anning, and Xiang Boyuan brought Xiao Yuan. The cat and dog played wildly on set, while Yu Xin and Xiang Boyuan realized their feelings. Upon finishing the series, they confirmed their relationship.

This same series led to Yu Shan, the richest man, recognizing Yu Xin.

Yu Shan found Yu Xin and conducted a DNA test with her, confirming Yu Xin as his granddaughter and his only heir.

Yu Shan had several children in his early years, but tragically, all his children met with accidents and passed away. Yu Xin’s father went missing as a child, and despite years of searching, Yu Shan couldn’t find him and had to give up. He later had more children with his wife, but she passed away early, and the other children also passed away, leaving Yu Shan deeply pained.

That day, for no particular reason, Yu Shan decided to watch some TV. Upon tuning in, he saw the drama Yu Xin was acting in.

The moment he saw Yu Xin, Yu Shan lost his composure.

Yu Xin bore a striking resemblance to his deceased wife, making him feel as if he was seeing his young wife again.

Because of this, Yu Shan began focusing on Yu Xin, researching her father’s background, discovering that he was an orphan who grew up in an orphanage. Furthermore, Yu Xin’s father’s appearance notably resembled Yu Shan, leading him to speculate that Yu Xin might be his granddaughter.

This speculation exhilarated him, and eager to meet her, they agreed to conduct a parentage test at the hospital.

Yu Xin became the granddaughter of the wealthiest man, and from then on, everything went smoothly for her, with Xiang Boyuan’s path also becoming much smoother.

At thirty-two, Yu Xin won an international best actress award, after which she retired from the limelight and married Xiang Boyuan, subsequently returning home to manage the family business.

After marrying Xiang Boyuan, both Anning and Xiao Yuan passed away.

This deeply saddened both Yu Xin and Xiang Boyuan.

However, with family and love in her life, Yu Xin found solace emotionally. Though grieved by the loss of her beloved cat, she was able to recover from the sadness soon after.
