Chapter 393 Precious Legacy

Thinker Novel Network

Zhang Zian was in a daze, the lights in the store seemed to be dimmed, Lu Yiyun and Adams were moving away quickly, everything around him turned into slow motion, he stared at Adams' mouth opening and closing, but couldn't hear him clearly Say what……

This is not the first time he has received bad news of the death of a relative or friend, but he still cannot accept it calmly.

In just a few days in the United States, Zhang Zian performed kung fu, went camping in the wild, visited Hollywood, and captured elves, which can be described as colorful, but even so, the person who left the deepest impression on him was The old American lady who met by chance, she called him Jeff and asked him to call her Cathy.

Cathy is an ordinary old man who is doing extraordinary things. She is unknown, and has participated in the CFA domestic cat competition for more than ten years, just to let CFA recognize the chocolate-colored Abyssinian cat.

Zhang Zian clearly remembered that she said that this was her last competition because she could hardly move.

After leaving the arena, he was still thinking about her, and he even inquired who was the champion of the domestic cat category in this competition, but unfortunately, he did not find any information. He also asked Tim to inquire about the good news that the CFA may recognize chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats in the near future.

He was sincerely gratified for Cathy. Her persistence day after day finally moved CFA, and it also touched him.

On the field, he sent an invitation to her. If she travels to China in the future, please come to Binhai City and let him show her the friendship of a landlord.

However, he did not wait for anyone to come to her, but received the bad news of her death...

The past is vivid in my mind, and looking back, it is already separated by yin and yang.

"Mr. Zhang?"

"Mr. Store Manager?"

There was a sharp pain in Zhang Zian's shoulder, and it was Richard's bird claws that got stuck in his skin.

He came back to his senses suddenly, the lights in the store were restored, Lu Yiyun and Adams did not move, they just looked at him worriedly.

"I'm fine." He shook his head and looked at Richard on his shoulder.

Adams said in a very professional tone: "Mr. Zhang, if you are unwell, I can visit you another day." As a lawyer who specializes in wills, he is familiar with similar situations and knows that people will face sudden bad news. How vulnerable it appears, more vulnerable than one can imagine.

"No need." Zhang Zian waved his hand, "This news is a bit sudden... I'm fine now, please continue."

Adams lifted the briefcase from the ground and spotted the desk at the cash register, "Can you?"

"Please." Zhang Zian nodded.

Seeing this, Lu Yiyun quickly put the digital tablet on her lap to free up a space on the desktop.

Adams put the briefcase on the table, entered the password, and took out several documents from the briefcase that popped open.

"Actually, Ms. Ryan called me suddenly a few days ago, asking me to come over and ask to change her will..." He was about to continue, but was interrupted by Zhang Zian.

"Wait a minute, she..." Zhang Zian's lips murmured, but he couldn't find the right words to express his meaning.

The experienced Adams understood it in seconds, and before he finished asking, he replied: "Ms. Ryan died naturally in her sleep. She was very peaceful and did not suffer any pain. She lived alone, and the neighbors did not see her bring her home the next day. I got the cat out and was very worried, so I called the police.”

Adams spoke Chinese. Although the pronunciation was a bit strange, Lu Yiyun could understand it. Hearing Ms. Ryan's description of her death alone, she gripped her drawing pen tightly.

"Okay, sorry to interrupt, please continue." Zhang Zian felt a little better.

"I went to Ms. Ryan's home and notarized her will." Adams handed over several documents. "This is a copy of Ms. Ryan's will and power of attorney. Please have a look."

Zhang Zian shook his head, "I don't understand it, and I can't stand it, so just say it."

"Okay." Adams said without hesitation, "In Miss Ryan's recently revised will,

She donated her entire fortune to the Matthew Davis Cancer Research Foundation for lung cancer research, and then left you her cat. "

Zhang Zian was taken aback again, and repeated: "Her cat?"

"Yes, Ms. Ryan currently raises a total of eight cats, and she named you as the heir of these cats." Adams took out a few photos from the briefcase, "Please take a look, they are them."

Zhang Zian took the photos, and suddenly recognized the first one as Wendy he saw in the CFA arena, and it was Cathy's favorite. Then, the second, the third... until the eighth, all chocolate-colored Abyssinian cats of different sizes and poses.

He looked at these photos repeatedly, and the hands holding the photos trembled slightly. He understands that Cathy's most precious legacy is not money, but these Abyssinian cats that she has carefully bred.

At some point, Fina also jumped off the cat tree and walked over to him, staring at the pictures of Abyssinian cats.

Adams watched his words and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, according to the normal process, I should have sent you a lawyer's letter to inform you of this, so that you can be mentally prepared. However...Miss Ryan only knows the pronunciation of your Chinese name , and you own a pet store in Binhai City, China, and I don't know your phone number and detailed address, so I also spent a lot of effort to find it here."

In the United States, it is very common for a will to specify who will inherit one's pets, and Adams has also handled several similar wills. It's just that it's the first time for Adams to designate a pet to a stranger who is half a world away and has only met once, not to mention Adams himself, and even the joint law firm he works for. Needless to say about twists and turns.

Fortunately, Adams is very optimistic about China's prospects in the 21st century, and has studied Chinese before.

He flew from the warm and sunny Los Angeles to the cold and humid Binhai City, first went to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, checked all the local pet shops registered with the Industrial and Commercial Bureau, and then compared the pronunciation of the owner's name one by one, and finally determined the location of Qiyuan Pet Shop , came here early this morning but encountered severe rain and snow... Although he worked hard, his professionalism prevented him from complaining. Instead, he would be concerned about Zhang Zian's mood and would like to visit again another day.

Zhang Zian thanked him sincerely: "Thank you, I have troubled you."

"This is my job." Adams smiled, "Okay, do you have any questions, Mr. Zhang?"

"Why me?" Zhang Zian couldn't let go of why Cathy would leave such a precious inheritance to him who met by chance.

Adams nodded slightly, "I also asked Miss Ryan this question, and her answer was because you praised her for being beautiful."

"That's it?" Zhang Zian was stunned.

"That's it." Adams replied affirmatively, his eyes fell on the unfinished skewers and steaks in the foam incubator, "Ms. Ryan has no other relatives, I guess she thinks you can take good care of her Her cat—after coming to your store, I can understand her thinking."

Zhang Zian remained silent.

"Are there any other questions?" Adams asked again.

Zhang Zian shook his head, "It's gone."

"Well, Mr. Zhang Zian, are you willing to accept Ms. Catherine Donna Ryan's will?" Adams asked seriously.

"I……"

Zhang Zian choked up.

Only he can truly understand Cathy. She gave the cats to him not because he praised her for being beautiful, nor because he thought he could take care of them, but because she hoped that he could follow the path she blazed and take Abby with her. Signature cats move toward revitalization and splendor.

This hope is extremely heavy, but it is extremely glorious, and it places all of Cathy's trust.

"Why are you still hesitating?" Fina snapped.

Old Cha said in a deep voice: "Zian, where righteousness lies, do your part!"

Zhang Zian bit his lips and nodded, and said to Adams: "I accept!"
