Chapter 266: Returning home
When I saw a little light on the gemstone of my mother holding this copper bracelet in the photo, I couldn't help but feel a shock in my heart: Could it be ......
Uncle Zeng sighed softly, his expression a little sad and guilty.
It was the Oriental girl who explained for him and said: "My uncle was in financial difficulties back then, so he took this bracelet as a pawn!" The whereabouts of the jewel on the bracelet are unknown. Because of this incident, my uncle has been haunted by it all these years, and he has searched all over the United States and has not been able to find that gem back! Therefore, you don't have to worry about your girlfriend all the time, just treat it as Ke Fan who repaid the favor for your uncle! ”
Uncle Zeng nodded slightly, and said weakly, "Take it back...... Give it back to your mom and say sorry for me! ”
I then said, "Uncle Zeng, my mother, have been gone for many years!" As I spoke, I looked at the Oriental girl, and I believe that when she was collecting my information, she would definitely not miss such an important piece of news.
The Oriental girl's face was gloomy, but she did not speak.
Maybe she didn't want me to see my great-uncle before, because she was afraid that I would tell him the truth in person.
And if she doesn't stop it now, I think she may know that she can't hide it, after all, besides her, everyone else also knows my identity, and any leak may reach Uncle Zeng's ears, so it's better to let me say it now.
Uncle Zeng did not look sad and desperate, but just smiled bitterly as if expected, and said to himself lightly: "Really? Then he sighed deeply and said with self-pity: "I didn't expect to leave without even seeing her for the last time!" As he spoke, he gently closed his eyes and squeezed out a cloudy tear.
My heart suddenly swelled with infinite compassion, that is, the old man in front of me who seemed to be in his twilight years, he was already very close to death, but even at this time, fate still let him send the white-haired man to the black-haired man, and even arranged for me to interrupt his last thoughts.
There is no greater mourning than the death of the heart. The son died, and the successor of the incense was gone, which made the old boss Zeng lose the motivation to struggle in life; Now even the first love that I have always kept in my heart is gone, and there is no longer any bond to see each other.
Living, for him who has no worries, has no meaning.
"The restaurant will be handed over to you in the future!" Uncle Zeng closed his eyes and said slightly, "I know my own body, don't continue the treatment!" After I leave, I will inform Lawyer Zhang to come and follow the contents of the will! ”
I felt a little weird when I heard it, but I couldn't put it into words. Could it be that the Oriental girl deliberately came to me to extinguish Uncle Zeng's last hope of survival?
"Uncle!" The Oriental girl looked a little lonely and shouted, "Take good care of your body, don't say this again!" She seemed to have already prepared her mind, and accepted the result very calmly and calmly.
The next thing is that he explained the aftermath, and it involves the issue of interests, so I think it's better for me to avoid it. When I stood up and was about to push Xiyan to say goodbye, the Dongfang girl suddenly glared at me and said, "Uncle said that he would hand over the restaurant to you, did you just leave?" ”
I froze where I was.
It doesn't make sense, I'm not related to him, and he has no reason to leave the restaurant to me.
Besides, the Oriental girl is still his daughter-in-law who has never been through the door, so no matter how you say it, she should leave the restaurant to her. Leave it to me, what kind of thing is this? Something must be wrong.
I said weakly, "Is there a mistake?" ”
Uncle Zeng lay down and said weakly: "There is no mistake! Thirty years ago, I came to the United States alone, and I have worked hard to get to where I am today! And today's qiē is thanks to the jewel on your mother's bracelet! Without that money, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I wouldn't be where I am today. Think of it as the shares that your mother bought back then! Half of this restaurant should be your mother's! Since she is no longer there, it will naturally be handed over to you to inherit! ”
I'm really flattered, "This ......"
This is simply a pie falling from the sky, envy the dead!
But......
"I'm sorry, I can't ask for this half of the shares!" I said indifferently.
I don't want to be chased and cut by people on half the street when I go out, although Zeng Kefan's father meant this, but his mother's family is still there, how can I watch this half of my property fall into the pocket of me, a stranger who almost fell from the sky.
I don't want to be so inexplicably involved in the whirlpool of some wealthy family's property dispute.
Besides, I don't know anything about the management of a restaurant, and I don't have any interest in it.
Although half of the property sounds tempting and a lot of money, my heart has already flown back to China, and I believe that I can also make so much money with my own hands, and I don't need a windfall.
"Are you afraid that someone will be dissatisfied?" The Oriental girl asked coldly.
I think she is the most dissatisfied of them all, and it is no wonder that the restaurant that I came to have been cut in half by me like this, she can be happy.
The corners of my mouth twitched and said, "No merit! This is a restaurant supported by Uncle Zeng, and I, an outsider, have no strength at all, and I will have a disturbed conscience if I take this share! ”
"Don't worry!" The Dongfang girl still said in that cold tone, "Uncle Zeng's will has already been written, and those people don't dare to do anything to you!" In the United States, this is protected by law! ”
I put the photo on the coffee table, put the bracelet in my pocket, and continued: "Uncle Zeng is kind to us! If you want to say that you owe, Xiyan's life was saved by your son, and we owe you more! "I didn't want to, but I pulled out my phone and made a video call to the man.
Then he put his phone on the bedside and said, "Let's talk to my dad!" ”
Then he pushed Xiyan and walked out.
Uncle Zeng's heart is dead, and he has no worries. Maybe my dad is the only motivation for him to live, anyway, they chased the same girl together in those years.
Although 30 years have passed, this beautiful memory of youth will never be erased, and only by evoking the memory can he be filled with nostalgia for life.
After coming out, I said goodbye to the blue birds, and although we met in Pingshui, we finally got acquainted and had a good time.
The next day, Adam personally drove us to the airport and put us on the plane back home.
At this point, our trip to the United States was over, and our hearts were filled with a kind of anticipation and inexplicable excitement.
The prelude to the domestic intercity melee can be regarded as really kicking off at this time.
