Chapter 1547 Beaded Scarf
The young master and Xiao Chongyang exchanged pleasantries, saying things like "You're too polite."
Mu Ying just smiled and didn't care much about these courtesies.
She didn't know whether Xiao Hanlu was really congratulating her.
But Mu Ying knew very well that Xiao Chongyang was not sincere, no matter how kind he appeared on the surface.
Two minutes later, Uncle Wei returned to the restaurant.
He was holding two gift boxes in his hands, one big and one small.
The big gift box is as big as a pillow, and the small gift box is the size of a watch box. Both boxes are tied with bows with ribbons, which looks very delicate.
Afterwards, Xiao Chongyang stood up and personally handed the gifts to the two of them.
It turned out that the big gift box was for Mu Ying. It was a pillowcase made entirely of precious sea pearls.
Xiao Chongyang said that sleeping on such a pillowcase can calm the mind and help sleep, which is especially good for girls and can have the effect of keeping one young.
Mu Ying looked at the pearl scarf, and the elegant and pure pearl light reflected in her eyes.
But such a beautiful luster made her feel suffocated.
So many pearls are the result of countless pearl shells enduring so much pain and spending so many days and nights to nourish them with their soft bodies.
Can I really sleep peacefully while resting my head on these beautiful things formed out of pain...
She remembered that the young master was interested in investing in a pearl factory in Nanwan City.
Mu Ying once went to the local area with the young master for an investigation. It was also during that time that she met Xiao Jiu and Gu Hanye and others. Xiao Jiu was also poisoned by a strange flower and was later rescued by the young master.
After that inspection, Mu Ying boldly expressed her opinion that she did not support the young master's investment in the pearl factory.
She does not approve of any pearl business, whether it is breeding, processing, or later development and sales.
The young master was very surprised at the time, because the market prospects of that project were very good, he was already tempted and wanted to start doing it, and Mu Ying rarely interfered with his decisions, so he asked her why she opposed it.
Mu Ying told the young master that she couldn't sleep that night, so she walked to the beach and looked at the pearl farm. She could actually hear the sound of the pearl oysters crying in the sea, sobbing and heartbreaking.
She also knew how cultured pearls were formed. Workers first implanted a nucleus into the pearl oyster, which then secreted nacre to expel the foreign object.
But the pearl nucleus cannot be spit out, and the pearl oysters can only endure the pain day and night and secrete more nacre.
Until it forms a pearl that people love, workers then pry open the shell and dig out this pearl that condenses pain.
The dead pearl shells were thrown directly into the trash can, causing a terrible stench.
Mu Ying didn't want the young master to engage in a career that was built on the suffering of other creatures.
The young master said, "If we don't do this business, someone else will." And think about it from another perspective: the pearl oysters in these aquaculture plants suffer, but they also feed the local people.
Mu Ying said, let others do it, I don’t agree anyway.
The young master was helpless and said that he didn't expect Aying to be so soft-hearted. That was fine, because he really didn't like the smell in the pearl factory anyway.
The matter of the pearl factory was left unresolved.
Now, Xiao Chongyang handed the pearl scarf to her.
Mu Ying felt extremely heavy and cruel.
Is the young master like the pearl in the sea to Xiao Chongyang? Now the young master is still useful because he is nourishing a precious pearl for Xiao Chongyang. When the pearl is formed, Xiao Chongyang will cruelly cut away the pearl and then throw the useless young master into the garbage dump.
Thinking of this, the pearlescent light emitted from the pillowcase only made her feel a chill.
"Why, Aying doesn't like it?" Xiao Chongyang asked with a smile.
