853 Handover (2/2)

In his heart, Zhang Zian sympathized with Sun Xiaomeng. She must have seen too many of such scenes.

Zian did not comfort Liu Wenying, because she really needed the chance to cry and vent her inner sorrow. She would definitely break if she kept it all in.

Aside from venting her emotions, Liu Wenying also needed to use the chance to recognize the fact that her cat was dead. One needed to look forward in life and not remain immersed in past memories.

When the tea became warm, she gradually stopped crying.

Zhang Zian handed the tissue box on the table to her.

”Thank you…” she sniffed and said, ”I've made a fool out of myself in front of you… crying like a kid at such an age…”

”What are you talking about? Anyone who loses a pet feels sad, too.” Zhang Zian saw that she had calmed down, so he got up and said his goodbyes. ”Please get a good rest. I'll be off.”

”Wait a minute, let me return your money to you. Thank you for helping me pay.” Liu Wenying placed the urn on the table and fumbled around for her phone to transfer the money to Zhang Zian.

After the transaction was completed, Zhang Zian asked, ”Does Yue Yue know about the cat's death?”

”Not yet.” She sighed and shook her head. ”I don't know how to break the news to her yet…”

”I'd suggest that you get another pet to raise, be it a cat or a dog. Of course, this is not a sales promotion––you don't have to buy the pet from my shop––but… only raising a new pet can wash off the sadness from losing a pet,” Zhang Zian seriously suggested.

Liu Wenying looked at the pet supplies in the corner and said, ”I've actually thought about it… But when I think of raising a pet, I remember that it will still die. Whether through an accident or old age, I… I really can't stand it…”

The Siamese cat had become a member of her family and losing it had a similar pain to losing a family member. She was worried that she could no longer bear such a pain again.

Zhang Zian nodded and expressed that he understood. Such a choice was also very common––no longer raising pets in order to avoid suffering from the pain again.

”Then I'll take my leave. Have a good rest and lock the door.”

”Be careful on the road.”

Liu Wenying wanted to send him down, but returned to the house after Zian's repeated persuasion.

There was no trace of A Hui downstairs. He might've gone home for lunch, or maybe out to continue his search for the stray cats.

Zhang Zian started the car and carefully drove out of the estate.

In the community, there were old people walking with crutches, some young parents pushing a stroller, and there were also children chasing one another.

If he also lived in that community, he would probably not dare to oppose the decision of the old people to exterminate the stray cats, because no one could afford the responsibility of being infected by stray cats.

With the intensification of the cat abuse incident, and now the stray cats, it was hard to not think of the Holy Cat statue again. He was afraid that everything happening would help with the recovery of the Holy Cat statue.

Zian could only hope that, as time went by, the incident would calm down. After all, people were good at forgetting.

Thinking of the series of cat abuse incidents, Zian thought of Sheng Ke and felt a little strange. The last time he saw him, he had asked if he had received any alerts on cat abuse incidents… Why had Sheng Ke not gotten back to him yet?

He had dealt with Sheng Ke many times and was aware that Sheng Ke was a very passionate person. If one required his help in normal circumstances, he would get back to you very quickly. What was going on this time? Was it because of some sudden case that caused a delay? That seemed plausible.

Zhang Zian decided to put the matter aside for now. He took a look at the address on his phone and drove to Welder Zhao's place.
