Chuxia pursed her lips slightly, her voice sowhat low, "Madam, I have been trying hard."
Before the results ca out, she didn’t dare to make any hasty claims; otherwise, if the outco 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 imdiately but instead gazed at the ticulously grood 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 montarily stunned; then, after thinking for a mont, 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 aning 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 seed that today was not a simple al as she thought, but rather... a trap set by Mrs. Shi.
As soon as her words ended, Mrs. Shi turned to look at a servant beside her and said, "Bring it here."
The servant nodded and then handed Chuxia a docunt. Chuxia hadn’t yet seen what the docunt was, but an extre unease had already risen in her heart. Her hand trembled slightly, unable to reach out and take it.
She glanced at the docunt, then back at Mrs. Shi, swallowing dryly before she could barely utter, "This... what is this?"
Mrs. Shi did not try to conceal anything and spoke in a light tone, "Divorce agreent, sign it."
Her tone was casual as if discussing the day’s weather, but Chuxia’s heart plumted in an instant. Her eyes widened slightly, the light in her eyes swirling, "Madam, the three-month period isn’t up yet!"
Even though she knew today would be challenging, she hadn’t expected Mrs. Shi to ask her to sign directly.
If she signed it just like that, then what was the point of her efforts during this ti? What about her sches and deceit towards Che? What about her guilt towards Che?
How could she be content... to be denied before the result ca out?
Her words, however, drew a cold laugh from Mrs. Shi. Her gaze on Chuxia turned from soft quickly to stern, and even her voice dropped several degrees, "You have not beco pregnant in three years; how can I expect anything in three months? Xiaxia, out of old affection, I have given you many chances already, but you have disappointed ti and again."
Mrs. Shi’s words rendered Chuxia speechless; indeed, three years was long enough, and yet she still hadn’t fallen pregnant, but... she had always been trying!
Chuxia wanted to argue more, but Mrs. Shi waved her hand, showing she did not want to talk further, "No need to say anything else, sign it. Rest assured, after the divorce, the Shi Family will not shortchange you on what you are owed."
