For Zhang Meijuan, the Maneki-neko was the last gift her husband had left her, and now she relied on it almost entirely, taking it with her wherever she went.
As if her husband was always by her side.
"But this object, it's not yours," Jiangli said after a moment's silence, his tone low.
Zhang Meijuan looked up at her blankly, "What does the Abbot mean by that?"
"It's mine." Jiangli frowned slightly, "I don't know how to explain it to you, but it has my aura on it."
Zhang Meijuan was stunned, not understanding at all what Jiangli was saying.
In her eyes, the Abbot always spoke in strange ways.
This was clearly brought back by her husband for her.
Before returning, her husband had video called her, saying he had brought a gift back for her.
That's how she knew that the Maneki-neko was the gift prepared by her husband.
But how had it become Jiangli's now?
They clearly did not know Jiangli before, and had no ties with her.
