Chapter 38: I Can Give It a Try
Ji Qian’s eyebrows kept twitching. Listening to Shen Hanxing call her "our Ji Qian" and "our Qian Qian", she felt so happy that she was about to fly.
"Oh?"
Old Master Zhuang narrowed his eyes, and his tone was frighteningly cold. "You admit that Fourth Young Missus destroyed my orchid, so what’s there to argue about?"
"The Ji family will take responsibility for our mistakes."Shen Hanxing bent down to pick up the broken orchid and skillfully fiddled with the broken orchid stem. She said gently, "Our Qian Qian destroyed the orchid. I’m not talented, but I happen to know how to take care of orchids. So how about letting me give it a try?"
Orchids were very delicate. An ordinary orchid would easily die if it was poorly nurtured, not to mention such a valuable mutated variety. To make this orchid bloom, the Zhuang family spent a lot of money to hire a gardener and a professional florist to make it bloom successfully.
But what did Shen Hanxing say? Let her try? Was she worthy? If this orchid still could come back alive, Old Master Zhuang would not have been so angry. He would have gotten someone to save it a long time ago.
"You’re overestimating yourself." Old Master Zhuang sneered. "I admired the way you protected your family just now, but your behavior is stupid."
This little girl thinks that she could save an orchid that countless gardeners and florists could not save. What kind of joke was this?
Old Master Zhuang was a little disappointed. He had thought that Shen Hanxing was a steady person, but now it seemed like that was all there was to it.
Shen Hanxing was not angry at Old Master Zhuang’s contempt. She even felt that it was normal for Old Master Zhuang not to believe her. She pursed her lips, smiled, and said, "Since things have come to this, why don’t you let me try? After three months, if I can’t return this orchid intact, I’m willing to apologize to Old Master Zhuang in public. The Ji family will also bear the responsibility."
As soon as she finished speaking, the entire place was in an uproar.
