Chapter 392: An Unexpected Guest

Zhang Zian had been waiting a while, but Lu Yiyun still did not start drawing him. He did not know if all professional-level artists had to deliberate for such a long time before the actual creation happened, but he was getting a bit impatient.

Just then, through the window, he saw a person standing outside the door, with his head rising and lowering from time to time, as if confirming something. Because of the temperature difference indoors and outdoors, there was a misty condensation on the glass door, and Zhang Zian couldn’t see the man clearly. He thought the man was about to ask for directions, so he informed Lu Yiyun, got up and went to help him.

Before he could walk out, the man outside the door had rubbed his soles on the mat and walked into the shop.

At first glance, Zhang Zian was shocked, for the man was a middle-aged foreign gentleman wearing an upscale woolen trench coat, a business suit, a silk tie, and a pair of metal-framed glasses. His brown hair had been combed meticulously, and he was carrying a Rimova briefcase made of metal with a combination lock on it.

Zhang Zian’s first instinct was that this foreigner must have come to the wrong place. His destination must be Embassy Street, but an unscrupulous taxi driver had taken him to Zhonghua Road... judging from his attire, this foreigner apparently should be an elite from Wall Street or Lujiazui.

Patting the snowflakes off his shoulders, the man looked around at the interior of the shop. His eyes stayed on the face of Lu Yiyun a moment, and finally fell on Zhang Zian.

Although unlikely, Zhang Zian still looked at Lu Yiyun, as if asking if the man was looking for her.

Lu Yiyun shook her head vigorously. She lowered her head, and peeped at the guest through the corners of her eyes.

Zhang Zian coughed and intended to ask Richard to come downstairs to greet the guest, but the he heard the man speak in rudimentary, yet comprehensible Chinese, ”Hello, may I ask if this is the Amazing Fate Pet Shop?”

”Um... yes, who are you looking for?” Zhang Zian was surprised—a foreigner who could speak Chinese? He either had been living in China for some time, or he was truly an elite.

The man smiled courteously. He put down his briefcase, and pulled out a business card from his pocket.

”My name is Roger Adams, and I work for Baker & Murphy Associates. I'm looking for Zhang Zian, whose English name is Jeff Zhang.”

Zhang Zian took over the business card. Unfortunately, all the words on it were written in English. He repeatedly flipped it and observed it, and he got increasingly excited!

”So, you are a lawyer?” he asked in a quavering voice.

”Yes,” Adams nodded.

Holy s**t! A lawyer is really looking for me?!

Zhang Zian was bursting with joy! Had his dream finally come true? One of his relatives who he had never met before passed away abroad, and because the relative had no other immediate family members, he had left Zhang Zian, a distant relative far away in China, a European-style old castle by the sea and a large amount of property. From now on, he would be transformed into a tall, rich, and handsome guy, a winner that all the beautiful girls in the world craved for!

He patted his chest and said, ”I am Zhang Zian, and my English name is Jeff Zhang. Trust me, I’m the person you are looking for. By the way, where is the old castle? England? Ireland? Spain? I do not mind where it is at all!”

Adams was confused, ”What castle?”

”You know, I had a relative who passed away abroad, and now you are executing his will, am I right? These are plots in television dramas and novels that I used to think were contrived and dramatic, but now I do believe in them!”

Zhang Zian rubbed his hands together excitedly, wondering in which bank he would deposit his hundreds of millions of pounds or dollars in cash? Would the bank send a long-legged gorgeous commissioner to serve him?

”Um...” Adams stared at him rather surprised. ”How did you know that, Mr. Zhang?”

Huh?

Zhang Zian was really shocked. He was joking around just now, but looking at the elite lawyer’s serious look, it seemed that the lawyer was not joking.

He thought carefully. His parents did not seem to have any relatives living abroad. And the probability that a relative who he had never met before would leave him a huge amount of legacy was smaller than winning the lottery...

”Am I really going to inherit a legacy?” he confirmed with the lawyer.
