Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 253 - 266: Photography Invitation

Du Shuxian was already dissatisfied with Su Xingyu, and hearing Lu Yong say this, she became even more furious.

She went to Mrs. Lu, crying and complaining bitterly: "Mom! Look at that Su Xingyu, how is she even worthy of being Shifeng’s wife? The newspapers all say that she’s so rotten that even the Qin Family doesn’t want her! How can a woman that even the Qin Family doesn’t want have the right to marry into our Lu Family? Mom, you should quickly tell Shifeng to divorce that woman, while there are no children yet, and let him find a noble lady!"

The old lady got a headache when she heard her mention this but couldn’t help but explain personally: "Is Xingyu really as bad as they say? The newspapers make up stories about people."

But Du Shuxian was still not convinced: "Mom! You should go and talk to Shifeng. Now he’s married and forgotten his mother, he won’t listen to anything I say!"

The old lady said: "Shifeng has his own ideas, and that’s a good thing. Besides, if he doesn’t listen to you as a mother, do you think he would listen to me as a grandmother?"

Du Shuxian was momentarily speechless, although Lu Shifeng usually respected the elders in the family, he was very decisive in major matters. Since he dared to marry Su Xingyu despite everyone’s objections, it is not surprising that he doesn’t divorce now despite advice from anyone. Du Shuxian started crying again, holding the old lady’s hand and complaining of her misfortunes, about how her son was so unfilial.

The old lady listened, getting annoyed, and said lightly: "Shuxian, you’re tired, go back and rest well. I will talk to Shifeng."

Only then did Du Shuxian happily stop crying and contentedly go back.

After she left, the old lady called Mrs. Cui, who was serving her: "Go and ask Shifeng when he will have time to come to the old house and see me."

Mrs. Cui had been with the old lady for a long time, so she was worried when hearing this: "Madam, you wouldn’t really be helping her to persuade the young master to divorce, would you? I see the young master seems to like the young mistress very much, if you persuade him to divorce he probably won’t listen, and if the young master gets stubborn, he might irritate you then."

The old lady smiled lightly: "I’m not persuading him to leave, just go ahead and ask."

Mrs. Cui was stunned, and only then realized her mistake. The old lady was still sewing that camellia wedding dress a few days ago, murmuring about giving it to Su Xingyu, how could she be persuading for a divorce?

So she smiled brightly and agreed, going to make the call to the young master as instructed.

The news report from the Su Family had quite a destructive impact, as they say, good news doesn’t travel far, but bad news spreads fast, and in the past few days, Su Xingyu was pointed and commented on wherever she went.

Even those colleagues in the company who used to be quite good to her, now some avoided her and gossiped: "Tch, I thought she and Mr. Lu were true love, but turns out she had been scheming to seduce rich men since she was young."

"I’ve heard there are women whose life’s goals are very clear, to climb the social ladder, dreaming of marrying into a wealthy family, and studying day and night how to marry into a wealthy family."

"Su Xingyu is that kind of woman, right? That’s why she managed to charm Mr. Lu, regular women can’t hook up with Mr. Lu."

"Exactly, exactly, shameless."

The chatter always ceased abruptly as she approached.

Su Xingyu was very upset, wanting to yell that the news was all false, but she understood in her heart that even if she yelled, those who wouldn’t believe still wouldn’t believe.

She was so irritated that she was distracted even during dinner with Lu Shifeng.

Lu Shifeng told her: "Even if you’re unhappy, you have to eat, keep healthy, and give me a son."

"All you care about is having a son!" She felt aggrieved, "You don’t care about me at all!"

"How do you want me to care about you?" He asked.

"You!" She was momentarily at a loss for words, caring is supposed to be his initiative, but now he’s asking her seriously! How is she supposed to respond!

"Anyway, you’re just not caring enough about me!" She thought for a while and finally found a word to accuse him with, "This news has been causing a stir for so many days, and you haven’t addressed it!"

"Who do you think I am? A feudal emperor who can issue an imperial decree and make everything peaceful?" Lu Shifeng said calmly, "The news broke out the day before yesterday afternoon, yesterday afternoon the amount already reduced by half compared to the day before yesterday, and today again halved, why won’t your mind think about why?"

"Ah..." Su Xingyu’s resolve weakened immediately, she... hadn’t even noticed...

Lu Shifeng mercilessly tossed the vegetables she had poked into the trash, he had now found out, that this girl seemed to enjoy messing with vegetables when feeling tense and upset: "Don’t worry, I won’t let them off."

Them? Was he referring to the media, or the Su Family?

Su Xingyu asked her doubts, but only received a cryptic look from him.

Another day passed, and sure enough, all the media had gone clean, and couldn’t find any negative news about her anymore.

It’s just that the gossip in the company was still going on, after all, Lu Shifeng could erase the media but couldn’t seal everyone’s mouths.

Occasionally, Su Xingyu still felt upset.

She was thinking about whether to take a few days off to relax, as her work recently wasn’t too busy anyway.

On this day, while she was preoccupied with thoughts and walking on her way home, she was suddenly stopped by a girl she recognized as Jiang Zhenzhen, a model she had collaborated with on Illusion Dream magazine before.

"Zhenzhen? Long time no see." She composed herself and greeted her.

"Xingyu, it’s such a coincidence, I was about to come to find you," Jiang Zhenzhen smiled a bit embarrassedly at her, this girl seemed always a bit reserved in front of her, "Actually, I have something I want to ask you to help with." She finished, looking at her somewhat anxiously.

Su Xingyu asked gently: "What is it? As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

"Really?" Jiang Zhenzhen smiled, "Here’s the thing, I have a particularly good friend named Jenny, she’s getting engaged soon, and the engagement venue lacks a photographer. She really likes your style after seeing that Ruins Elf photo series you helped me design last time, so she asked me to ask if you could be her engagement venue photographer?"

As she spoke, Jiang Zhenzhen added nervously, "Xingyu, I know you’re very famous now, and you are dating such a diamond-level man like Mr. Lu, asking you to be a small engagement photographer might be a bit degrading. But she’s the best friend I’ll ever have, and I really can’t refuse her request, so could you just do me this favor? Money won’t be an issue!"

Engagement?

What a blissful event.

Su Xingyu was momentarily dazed, as her former self, still a naïve girl, once eagerly anticipated having a beautiful engagement ceremony.
