During dinner, Song Pearl still looked the same, appearing somewhat stiff and dull.
Wang Xingxing glanced at Song Pearl, taking big bites of chicken leg but not finding it sweet.
Does Pearl have memories now? Has she become smarter? If she remembers that I know her secret, what will happen? Will she suddenly crush me?
Sigh, why does it have to be me who knows that Pearl is different?
It's all my fault for being too protective of the weak. When Song Pearl was bullied, I stood up for her and ended up getting beaten by a group of bad kids.
Who would have thought that after seeing blood, Song Pearl suddenly exploded and knocked out several of the bad kids? I was terrified, thinking those kids were dead, but they were actually fine; Song Pearl just used a few drops of water and they woke up. My head wound healed quickly too...
I witnessed the whole process; everyone else forgot what happened, but I clearly remember. Even Song Pearl doesn’t remember, and ever since then, she always runs away faster than a rabbit whenever there’s a fight.
Not long after I stood up for Song Pearl, those kids stopped me again and called for backup.
Song Pearl hit someone, but these people blamed it on me. I wanted to run but couldn’t escape, so I shouted for Song Pearl in panic.
Fortunately, Song Pearl had a conscience and didn’t leave me behind to run away alone...
Song Pearl is actually very kind; she has never deceived me. Whether or not she is human, she wouldn’t hold anything against me, right?
I hope she remains a fragile girl forever and doesn’t remember her uniqueness. I hope her amnesia doesn’t get better.
Wang Xingxing swallowed hard on his food and suddenly felt discomfort in his throat as a chicken bone went down his esophagus.
Instantly, his esophagus felt raw; he coughed several times and took several sips of water before feeling somewhat better.
"Are you starving?"
Song Pearl looked at Wang Xingxing strangely.
"No, it's just too delicious. This is my first time eating this... Luckily, it didn't get stuck," Wang Xingxing wiped his mouth and took a big gulp of water from his cup.
"That time you came to our school to find me, you treated me to this!" Song Pearl stared at Wang Xingxing with a strange expression, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Don't mind him; he probably has amnesia!" Cousin chuckled and imitated Wang Xingxing's serious expression.
Wang Xingxing glared at Cousin, "Don't meddle!"
Song Pearl lowered her head and continued eating, unaware of how many things she had forgotten in the past. Suddenly, she felt that it didn't matter anymore.
No matter what happened in the past, it was all in the past. She was still Song Pearl; as long as she completed the task of getting married, she could return to her original body!
The most important thing right now was to stay here and protect her own place...
In the afternoon, Song Pearl went to the Human Resources Department of Hongqing Group to pick up her onboarding certificate.
The staff in the Human Resources Department looked at her and said, "The ecological park is under construction; if you go there, you won't find anyone to report to. Just go like this!"
"Go like this?" Song Pearl frowned, "What am I supposed to do like this?"
"If someone asks you to do something, then do it; if no one asks you, just take a break," the staff replied impatiently. "Isn't that easy to understand?"
"But..." Song Pearl wanted to say more, but the person had already lowered their head and was busy with other matters, no longer paying her any attention.
As Qing Yuansheng passed by, he happened to see Song Pearl inquiring at the office window. A smirk of triumph appeared at the corner of his mouth. Song Shiting, seeing his daughter, whom he had high hopes for, going back home to farm after a round of schooling, wondered if she would end up hospitalized again.
Sigh! Someone like him, who had achieved so much, shouldn't be bothered by this Country Bumpkin! Yet he couldn't help himself...
This was the last time. If Song Shiting didn't end up hospitalized due to his daughter's return to the village, he would do good deeds and let bygones be bygones, not concerning himself with Song Shiting's affairs anymore. His daughter could go wherever she pleased; a Girl like that could never be better than his own son.
When Qing Yuansheng arrived at the office, he insisted on taking the stairs to exercise more.
As he reached the landing where two staircases met, someone came rushing down from above and grabbed his arm excitedly. "Yuan Sheng, you finally came!"
Qing Yuansheng shook off the arm that was holding him but found that the hands clinging to him did not let go. He frowned and looked at the person beside him. "Old Song, how did you get here?"
"Yuan Sheng, Qing Zong..." Song Jianguo's face turned red as he spoke with a trembling voice filled with sorrow. "I came to ask you for a way out for our villagers!"
"Come on, let's sit in my office!" Qing Yuansheng said kindly as he supported Song Jianguo. "We're brothers; there's no need to rush..."
He intended to pull Song Jianguo upstairs, but Song Jianguo held onto his arm tightly and refused to move. "We have no one else here. I thought you were working for our village's prosperity... But now, you're forcing all of us villagers to jump into Nanhu!"
"What do you mean? I've already arranged jobs for your villagers. There’s so much land that needs farming, and I've sent advanced machinery over. Those who don't want to farm can join construction teams for mountain building and reforestation; there’s plenty of work available. I haven't taken in anyone from other villages; I've arranged for your villagers to do it. How can you say I'm forcing you to jump into the river?"
Qing Yuansheng loosened his collar slightly; he was starting to sweat from being squeezed by Song Jianguo.
"But your actions are outright robbery! You're making our villagers move away—where are we supposed to live? What’s the difference between your actions and those of a landlord? First, you buy our land and give us a sweet deal, then under the guise of building a Resort, you make our villagers move away and bring in others without homes or land to work for you... If you don't agree, I—I will sue you!"
"Don't joke around, Brother Song. We have signed a contract. The plan to transform your village into a Resort is supported by the county and province. In your poor place, if I don't develop it and attract investment, in twenty years it will still lack even a road!"
Qing Yuansheng pushed his hands away and trembled as he walked toward the stairs.
Song Jianguo rushed forward to grab Qing Yuansheng, shouting, "Yuan Sheng, I'm begging you, can you think of a way that works for both sides? Are you really going to watch our entire village become displaced? Don't forget that you also came from such a life. Can you bear to force your fellow villagers to suffer like that again after so many years?"
When Song Jianguo mentioned those years, a shadow suddenly crossed Qing Yuansheng's eyes. He abruptly pushed Song Jianguo away and took a few steps up the stairs.
Standing on the stairs, Song Jianguo was caught off guard and lost his balance, falling backward. In his panic, he reached for the handrail but couldn't find it, so he closed his eyes and sighed, accepting his fate.
The pain he imagined never came; a strong hand caught him just in time before he fell.
"Thank you, thank you."
He weighed at least one hundred ninety pounds; thankfully, this person had great strength!
Song Jianguo broke out in a cold sweat and looked gratefully at the person who had saved him, exclaiming in surprise, "It's you, Pearl?"
