“Pink pearl ring, the one mom always wore. How could you not know about it?” Song Fan pressed on, unwilling to let it go.

She already had a feeling that Song Yi was hiding something.

At that moment, there was a knock on the study door, and Song Ting came in with herbal medicine.

“Little sister?” Song Ting looked surprised. Song Fan had never sought out Song Yi voluntarily.

But Song Ting didn’t ask much, just brought the herbal medicine over. “Dad, you still have toxins in your body. You must continue with the herbal treatment.”

Song Fan was slightly surprised, but seeing Song Yi’s evasive gaze, she decided not to pursue this matter for now. Finding the ring was more important.

“Dad, think again. You must remember the pink pearl ring,” she insisted before turning to Song Ting. “Big brother, you must have seen mom wearing that ring, right?”

Yu Wan had worn that ring almost all the time, so Song Ting should definitely remember it.

Song Ting nodded immediately. “Wasn’t mom always wearing it? The pink pearl was pretty big. Dad, don’t you remember?”

He turned to Song Yi, who then slapped his forehead as if remembering. “Lately, there’s been too much work at the company. I didn’t think of it right away. How could I forget the pearl ring? I’ve kept all your mom’s things.”

“Then give me the ring. I want to use its design as a reference,” Song Fan said, extending her hand. She was determined to get the ring today.

But Song Yi looked troubled. “Your mom loved that ring. I buried it with her.”

His expression was sincere, tinged with sadness. Song Ting gently nudged Song Fan’s arm, signaling her to drop the subject.

In Song Ting’s eyes, Song Yi was a good father and a devoted husband. He didn’t want Song Fan to stir up painful memories for their father.

Song Fan pressed her lips together but didn’t push further. She knew Song Yi still held a significant place in her brothers’ hearts.

After leaving Song Yi’s study, Song Ting asked, “Little sister, are you trying to design mom’s pink pearl ring?”

Song Fan nodded. “I remember mom always wore that ring, and its design was unique. If we launch a new product based on it, it would definitely be popular.”

Looking at her face, which bore a resemblance to their mother, Song Ting felt a pang of sadness.

He gently patted Song Fan’s head. “Don’t worry, big brother will find you some similar designs for reference. My little sister is so smart, she’ll definitely design the perfect jewelry.”

Although Song Fan nodded earnestly, she still harbored doubts. Song Yi’s behavior had been suspicious. But she didn’t want to worry Song Ting, so she pretended not to care.

Meng Xia, who had just finished her midnight snack, overheard everything and silently noted it all. She then went to Meng Yu’s room.

Since the unpleasant incident over the necklace, this was the first time she had sought out Meng Yu.

“You need something? Aren’t you supposed to be resting for the baby?” Meng Yu clearly didn’t want to be nice.

But Meng Xia had a plan. She said gently, “Mom, you know I’m pregnant, and my emotions are unstable. Please don’t stay mad at me.”

She removed her diamond bracelet, a gift from Charlie, and handed it to Meng Yu. “This is for you. Consider it my way of making it up to you. Don’t be angry anymore.”

“Hmph, instead of this, why don’t you transfer the shop to me so I can help you manage it?” Meng Yu said, eyeing the bracelet while glancing at Meng Xia.

But Meng Xia knew better than to agree to that. Otherwise, it would never end.

Focusing on her objective, Meng Xia decided to tackle the current issue first.

“Mom, Song Fan just asked for her mother’s belongings, the pink pearl ring. Do you remember it?”

“Pearl ring? Yes, I remember. She always wore it,” Meng Yu said, still looking at the bracelet. “Such a small thing, what’s the big deal? If it were me, I’d prefer a big diamond ring.”

To her, diamonds and jade were far more valuable than a pearl ring.

Meng Xia was thrilled to hear this. “Mom, do you remember where the ring is? I need it.”

“It’s in Song Yi’s safe,” Meng Yu said definitively. “I saw him take it out once. Hmph, so sentimental, treasuring his late wife’s belongings.”

She then looked at Meng Xia suspiciously. “What do you need that ring for?”

“Song Fan wants to use it as a reference to establish herself as a genius designer. I need to get ahead of her and make that design mine.”

Worried that Meng Yu might not agree, Meng Xia quickly added, “If I can secure my position in the company, it will benefit you too, right? Please help me!”
