Chapter 212 Legacy
When the whole family looked at Zhang Wei with pity, Zhang Wei waved her hands to show everyone that she was fine.
However, the old housekeeper looked at Zhang Wei deeply and continued, "The next question about my stay or departure is related to Miss Vera."
Zhang Wei felt a little confused, but still looked at the old butler seriously.
The old butler carefully opened a roll of yellowed brown paper and handed it to Zhang Wei: "This is the ownership document of the castle."
Then he took out a stack of newly printed inheritance documents and said:
"Just sign your name and the castle will be yours, Miss Vera."
Zhang Wei suddenly panicked: "I, I can't accept this!"
She didn't expect that Aunt Mary would leave the castle to her. This was beyond her expectations.
The kraft paper in her hand felt like it was burning. Zhang Wei handed it to Emma, but Emma refused to take it. She said:
"Mary likes you. You have to accept her feelings so that she will be happy."
"Yeah, we're too lazy to take care of these things. It's perfect to leave it to Vera!" Namir also agreed.
"We have no objection to this. Aunt Mary divided all her collections among us, and Vera is the most suitable person to inherit the castle."
Manny nodded when he heard Leida's words, but Zhang Wei felt like she was still in a dream. She had inherited a castle that was hundreds of years old.
Seeing that everyone was waiting for her to agree, Zhang Wei could only say:
"I'm so grateful to Aunt Mary. I really don't know how to express it. Thank you for conveying Aunt Mary's last wishes. Please tell me if you have any requests!"
She still remembered that the old housekeeper had something to request, so she asked.
"Madam said that if you are willing, let me, an old man, spend the rest of my life in a familiar place!" The old butler looked at Zhang Wei sincerely, with some reluctance in his tone.
Zhang Wei quickly said, "What are you talking about? This is your home. You will have to work hard to take care of the castle from now on!"
She believed that no matter who took over the castle, the old butler would be left to take good care of it. However, Aunt Mary asked the old butler to ask this question, which fully demonstrated her respect for Zhang Wei, which moved Zhang Wei deeply.
The old butler nodded and said, "Madam also asked if you remember the previous advice?"
Zhang Wei suddenly remembered that when she first came, she said that she would let everyone know about her and her fiancé’s touching love, so that they would live in everyone’s memory forever.
Aunt Mary probably thought the same thing, but she couldn't do it now, for fear that the scene would bring back sad memories for her family.
"Yes, I remember. I will keep my promise and take care of the castle according to my aunt's wishes."
It can be said that Aunt Mary gave her a task, not simply to let Zhang Wei inherit the castle, which made Zhang Wei feel relieved. This was good, otherwise she would have found it difficult to bear such a lavish inheritance.
She thought about dealing with this matter later. The portraits and daily necessities in Aunt Mary's room were all there. When the time comes, she will arrange it into an exhibition, spruce up the yard and garden, and then open it to people for visits at specific times.
When the Wilson family had to leave the castle, Zhang Wei did not change anything in the castle. Before leaving, she went to thank the old butler specially, and then contacted the family doctor to ask him to come and give the old butler a physical examination regularly.
It is really sad to watch familiar people disappear in front of you. Zhang Wei was still in a depressed mood until school started.
Fortunately, the tension and anxiety in a new environment helped Zhang Wei alleviate some of his sadness.
Because everyone was still at home when Zhang Wei started school, this time when he went to register, Zhang Wei experienced a rare grand occasion. Everyone accompanied Zhang Wei to Magdalene College, Oxford to register.
This is not an uncommon thing. At the beginning of the school year, almost all families go to college to register. The start of school and graduation are two most important things for foreigners.
When Zhang Wei went to the college to register with the admission letter, he found that they had only admitted eleven students to the pharmacy major. Well, it was the familiar small class teaching again.
When the group arrived at the dormitory, Zhang Wei was still a little disappointed. It was a triple room, with each person having a separate room, and the classroom and bathroom were shared.
When Zhang Wei opened the refrigerator in the living room, he found that it was already full, and there was only one bathroom. It was easy to imagine that he would be racking his brains.
"Not bad!" Leida looked around and comforted Zhang Wei with a resentful look.
Alas, Zhang Wei could only sigh: "It is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but it is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"
Zhang Wei and her family were looking around inside and out when suddenly a door opened next to them and a man with a messy blond head came out with a look of annoyance at being disturbed.
"This is a public space, I hope you will keep quiet!" she said bluntly.
"This is our first time here, I hope you can understand." Manny said in a calm tone, looking at her directly.
"Oh, my God!" The blonde girl saw Manny then, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and she immediately retracted her head. Then she heard the sound of rummaging through drawers.
Zhang Wei felt a little funny. She didn't expect Manny to use the beauty trap.
Namir frowned and said, "It doesn't look very good. When the time comes, you can ask when you can live outside on your own. You'll just have to make do with this for the first year."
Mr. and Mrs. Wilson nodded in agreement. Zhang Wei had lived in a dormitory with six people in it before, and this place was pretty good. To reassure his family, Zhang Wei said:
"Don't worry, I'll be at a disadvantage someday. At worst, we can just fight!"
"That's right!" Namir smiled and continued, "If there's any problem you can't handle, remember to tell me. We're not too far away, and I can drive Manny's car over!"
Then Manny hit him on the back of the head: "Am I not your brother? You can come to me if you have any problems!"
The Wilsons were also very happy to see the brother and sister getting along so well. Charles then said:
"Namir, Vera, when you officially come of age, I'll give each of you a car."
"Great! Yeah, I love you, Dad!" Namir happily hugged Charles. He had long wanted to have his own car.
Zhang Wei didn't have much idea about the car, as she probably wouldn't need it at the moment.
Just as everyone was packing up Zhang Wei's things, there was a knock on her half-open door:
"Hello, my name is Heidi Keller, and I'm your roommate."
Zhang Wei saw that her blonde hair was combed neatly. Although she said this to Zhang Wei, her eyes kept glancing at Manny.
"Hello, my name is Vera Wilson, and this is my family."
Under Heidi's expectant gaze, Zhang Wei did not introduce them one by one. After all, her tone was a little unfriendly at the beginning.
