Chapter 295 - 294: Another Reminder (20)
Chuxia pursed her lips slightly, her voice somewhat low, "Madam, I have been trying hard."
Before the results came out, she didn’t dare to make any hasty claims; otherwise, if the outcome turned out to be a failure, how would she explain it to Mrs. Shi?
Mrs. Shi let out a soft chuckle, her expression unchanged as if the anticipated result was to be expected. She didn’t speak immediately but instead gazed at the meticulously groomed bed of flowers. She began, "Do you know why my garden is so pleasing to the eye?"
This sudden question from Mrs. Shi left Chuxia momentarily stunned; then, after thinking for a moment, she replied, "Because it is tended to regularly."
"Correct," Mrs. Shi nodded. "To have a beautiful garden, you must tend to it often, remove the useless weeds, only then can you keep the garden’s beauty intact."
If at first, Chuxia did not understand the meaning behind Mrs. Shi’s abrupt question, now, with those words, she instantly grasped it.
Mrs. Shi was warning her, the useless weed, that she would be ruthlessly uprooted.
Chuxia truly hadn’t expected that with half a month still remaining from the three-month deadline, Mrs. Shi could no longer restrain herself. This indicated that she had truly lost all patience, unwilling to wait even for this last half month.
Chuxia’s heart sank instantly; it seemed that today was not a simple meal as she thought, but rather... a trap set by Mrs. Shi.
