Song Pearl has been by the Fish Pond for a long time, with memories clear and vivid.
At that time, a tender voice occasionally reminded her,
"You must find that person; he has given everything for your rebirth in this world..."
"Marry him, and when you see Amber, you will know what he looks like. If you cannot marry him in this life, he will turn to ashes and can never return... He is the Emperor..."
She stubbornly thought she was ill, that there was something wrong with her mind, and everything happening was just her illusion. Wasn't he right?
She thought it impossible to turn back into a fish; the demon was also something she had imagined...
Now Qing Wenyu and Wu Yuqian were about to get engaged. Should she do something to break them apart? If she did, would it lead to the kind of ending she saw in Amber's illusion?
Song Pearl thought for a long time and ultimately decided to contact Wu Qiang.
"Chairman Wu... I'm sorry to disturb you tonight..." Her voice was soft and somewhat hesitant.
"Pearl, what is it? I actually have something I want to inform you!" Wu Qiang's voice was warm and kind. He held tightly the Medical Record of Song Pearl that he had just received.
He had seen this Medical Record before but hadn't expected that Wu Yuqian would find out about it so soon.
Wu Qiang felt that it would be best for the seemingly innocent yet scheming girl, Song Pearl, to stay far away from her!
Song Pearl paused. What should she say?
You are my father. Why don’t you acknowledge me?
"Then please go ahead!" She bit her lip, feeling her lips were somewhat dry.
"It's like this: Yu Qian is going to get engaged to Qing Wenyu soon. She will live and work there in the future, and I want to give her the Resort as a gift at her engagement..."
"So... do you mean I should leave the Resort?" Song Pearl felt a surge of anger within her.
It was forgivable to make a mistake in the past, but knowing the truth and not wanting to correct it—Song Zhenbao must truly be his favorite!
A cool breeze blew by, and Song Pearl brushed aside the hair that had blown onto her face, calming down slightly. Recently, she seemed to be growing more and more envious!
"Pearl... I want to hire you to work at Jinmai Group. With your abilities, staying at the Resort would only bury your talents! It's better to develop in a different place; Jinmai Group is located in an international metropolis. You can achieve better development here, and your horizons will broaden... Plus, you can still see your good friend Hong Xinran often. Isn't that good?"
Wu Qiang sensed something unusual in Song Pearl's tone. His voice remained gentle. He hoped she could understand his concerns.
Song Pearl looked at the Fish Pond before her; she always felt this was her true home.
"I want my Amber back," she suddenly said.
Wu Qiang knew what that meant; Amber was something he and Song Shizhen had found at a roadside stall years ago. Though inexpensive, it had become a token of their love. Song Shizhen treasured it like a gem and left it for their daughter before passing away, indicating forgiveness for his actions.
Perhaps it was a mother-daughter connection; even though Song Pearl had been ill for a long time, she never forgot that Song Zhenbao had taken her Amber.
"You want Amber?" Wu Qiang replied, "That's Song Zhenbao's thing. Your parents feel the same way."
"Why don't you do a paternity test?" Song Pearl asked.
"No need," Wu Qiang replied with just three words before hanging up the phone.
He couldn't continue this conversation; he feared losing control of his emotions and didn't know which corner of his home might have listening devices set up by the Jin Family.
Though it felt paranoid, he had to be cautious.
If Zhang Yunye were here, it would be better. When would that young man return?
Wu Qiang leaned back on the sofa, gazing up at the floral ceiling, one hand unconsciously pressing against his chest, hoping he could live a few more years to properly arrange his daughter's future!
Song Pearl returned to her residence, in the room next to the Fish Pond. Looking at the still and silent Pearl Fish in the aquarium, she murmured, "Maybe I have to leave this place; stubborn as I am, I should put you back in the sea."
The handover of work at the resort was completed quickly. Wu Yuqian smiled at Song Pearl, "Pearl, I hope you have a better development in Jin Mai and find a suitable husband soon! Uncle Aunt still has to fly; I will take good care of them!"
Song Fei, with red eyes, pulled Song Pearl close. "Sister, I know that bad woman Wu Yuqian moved into our house and pushed you out. Don't worry, when I grow up, I will earn a lot of money and buy a big house for you to live in! You won't have to work; I'll work to support you!"
Song Pearl couldn't help but smile at Song Fei's words.
"Wu Yuqian is also my sister; she is not a bad woman. When people grow up, they need to live and earn money. Changes are normal; there is no permanent job. Unless you start your own business, there is always the possibility of leaving."
"Sister, why don't you start your own business?"
"Because I'm too lazy!" Song Pearl blinked; she had never thought about starting her own business.
She used to just want to improve the living conditions of Song Shiting's family. Now, not only has Song Shiting's family's life improved, but the entire Song Family Village's villagers are also living better, yet she didn't know where to go next.
"I remember now; your dream is to get married! So hurry up and get married! Once you're married, you won't have to run around anymore," Song Fei said seriously.
"You're right. I should get married soon," Song Pearl said as she opened her arms and hugged Song Fei's shoulders. He had grown tall enough to reach her shoulder now.
"Work hard and don't lose yourself wherever you go," Song Shiting advised earnestly, always emphasizing the importance of being principled.
"Go on, go on!" Liu Cuiying looked at the large suitcase that Song Pearl had packed. "Your dad has always wanted you to go to the Provincial Capital; now you're finally going to work in the big city. We must thank Treasure for this opportunity. If it weren't for Treasure, how could you have such a chance!"
"Yes, we should really thank Treasure." Song Pearl lowered her gaze and said, "It's just that Treasure didn't come today; I'll thank her in person when she returns!"
Wu Yuqian was indeed very busy at the moment. She was busy organizing a romantic Engagement Journey.
"Wen Yu, did you really book a boat for the engagement banquet?" Wu Yuqian asked with a charming smile.
"No, it's just a trip after the banquet. You've always wanted to see the sea, right? I bought two tickets and booked a boat; I think it's a bit extravagant!" Qing Wenyu laughed naturally.
"This is also good. As long as you arrange it, I will like it no matter what," Wu Yuqian said as she lowered her head, revealing her fair neck without letting Qing Wenyu notice her slight disappointment. Therefore, she also didn't see Qing Wenyu's distant gaze.
"President Song, I really want to go work with you in Jin Mai! If you develop well over there, don't forget to help me out when you come back!" Yuan Peng helped Song Pearl catch the Pearl Fish and put it into the car while bowing respectfully to her.
He is older than Song Pearl. Now he is calling her younger sister. Song Pearl couldn't help but smile.
"Now I'm not President Song anymore. If you use the Resort's car to take me, isn't that using a public vehicle for private purposes? Won't you get in trouble?" Song Pearl asked.
"It's fine. I think sending this beautiful Pearl Fish to the sea in my old car would be too embarrassing; this car has more presence," Yuan Peng said as he loaded Song Pearl's suitcase into the car. "Just check your luggage in; you don't need to worry about it."
"Thank you," Song Pearl smiled. "I'm lucky to have a friend like you; otherwise, I might feel very out of place."
"Hey! So people need to think about themselves! You haven't even learned to drive in the past two years. Working so hard, what does it matter? Of course, I'm not saying it's wrong to support your parents with money, but I just feel that the company is being too unkind by making you leave! You all are still a family; I think it's unfair!"
Song Pearl fell silent. Perhaps in her previous life, it was because outsiders caused such unfairness that Song Zhenbao took everything from her and resentfully made Wu Qiang work like a horse.
If she listened to such words too much, would she become another Song Zhenbao?
She quickly shook her head. No! She wouldn't harm anyone!
"The ticket for the Forgetfulness Boat is cheap now; there's only one left. Sister, do you want it?"
Yuan Peng stopped the car by the seaside. At that moment, someone was knocking on the window selling boat tickets. "Did you see that ship in the distance? The Forgetfulness Boat is about to embark on a twenty-four-hour sea journey. Once you're on board, you'll wash away all your troubles and return only with happiness. Do you want to go? The ticket is half price, and there's only one left! Do you want it?"
As the window rolled down, Song Pearl looked at a passenger ship anchored in the distance, its snow-white hull resembling an elegant swan.
If she released the Pearl Fish in the middle of the sea, it should be safer! She thought.
"How much? I'll take it," Song Pearl said as she took out her wallet.
"You want to travel?" Yuan Peng glanced at Song Pearl in surprise, feeling that she seemed more like a carefree girl now.
However, being in a bad mood was understandable.
"I want to take the Pearl Fish to the center of the sea and release it; that way, it will be safer," Song Pearl said as she gazed at the azure sea and calmly accepted the ticket handed over by the seller.
"Alright!"
Yuan Peng managed to persuade the crew to allow Song Pearl to bring the large water tank on board with his silver tongue.
“Have a pleasant journey. I've sent your luggage for check-in,” Yuan Peng waved goodbye to Song Pearl as he got off the boat, only to bump into a couple embracing each other.
It seemed like everyone on the boat was paired up, and only Song Pearl was foolishly alone with a fish. Yuan Peng shook his head with a smile and started the car, preparing to leave.
As the horn sounded, Yuan Peng turned back for one last look and muttered to himself, “It seems like Qing Wenyu also bought a ticket for a romantic trip. It wouldn’t be on this boat, would it?”
Thinking of this, he picked up his phone. Qing Wenyu had previously asked him to take care of Song Pearl, and now that Song Pearl looked lost and dejected, it was quite concerning.
Although Qing Wenyu was with a partner, they were all acquaintances. If they were also on the boat, it would be normal for him to look after Song Pearl a bit more.
Already on board, Qing Wenyu heard his phone ring and picked it up.
“Are you on the ferry right now? I wanted to tell you…”
“You brought a fish onto this boat?” Qing Wenyu asked with a frown.
