Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 254 - 267: The Unexpected Engagement Party

It’s just a shame that all of this is wishful thinking.

Now, with another girl coming to her for help, seeking the perfect engagement ceremony from her dreams, how could she bear to refuse?

"For the money, seeing that it’s for your friend, I’ll give you a twenty percent discount," Su Xingyu smiled, "Tell me the time, place, and theme style, so I can prepare."

"Xingyu, you’re so nice!" Jiang Zhenzhen was so happy she practically jumped up, thanked her repeatedly, and told her the time, location, and theme style before leaving.

Su Xingyu always took photography seriously, especially considering it’s someone else’s once-in-a-lifetime big day; she must do a good job capturing it.

So she first went to the place Jiang Zhenzhen mentioned to scout, walked through all possible angles for shots, and prepared several sets of cameras and lenses.

When the day arrived, she went out with her equipment to take the bus.

Jiang Zhenzhen called: "Xingyu, where are you? The engagement location on Jenny’s side has changed, should I come pick you up?"

"Why did the location suddenly change, where is it now?" Su Xingyu asked, "It’s okay, I’ll go by myself."

"It’s changed to a scenic area in the west of the city, it’s a bit hard to find, and time is running short, Xingyu, it’s better if I come get you, hurry, it’ll be perfect for us to go together." Jiang Zhenzhen said, "Jenny didn’t want to change places, but last night there was a minor fire at the venue, the building, lawn, and greenery suffered significant damage, making it impossible to hold the ceremony. Fortunately, the groom’s family had connections to quickly find a venue."

The west of the city indeed has a nice scenic area, many people choose it for engagements, weddings, and large company meetings.

Su Xingyu understood and gave her location: "Bus 18 at Xia Ming Street, Cross Palace Street Station."

After waiting for about a dozen minutes, Jiang Zhenzhen’s car arrived, she beckoned her to get in, chatting all the way: "Xingyu, you brought two equipment bags today? So heavy and you still took the bus, why not a taxi?"

"I’m used to it." She chuckled.

She used to squeeze onto buses, initially because she had no money and didn’t want to use Lu Shifeng’s money. But later, even though she earned some money herself and no longer had to be frugal or scrimp on equipment, taking the bus really became a habit, and she didn’t find it less convenient than having a private car. In fact, with such an important occasion today, her experience showed the bus was more punctual than private cars because the city’s buses have priority lanes, while private cars easily get stuck in traffic. Nobody can afford lost time.

But Jiang Zhenzhen misunderstood: "Mr. Lu is too stingy with you." Seeing this, it seemed Mr. Lu really hadn’t placed Su Xingyu, his girlfriend, in his heart, and they wouldn’t last long, right?

Yet, as soon as she spoke, she felt it was wrong, quickly apologizing: "I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it."

Su Xingyu smiled: "It’s okay."

Jiang Zhenzhen chatted about all sorts of things on the way, and when the car arrived at that scenic spot, stopping at the engagement site, she said to her: "We’re here, Xingyu. Get off."

Su Xingyu picked up her two equipment bags, got out of the car, and glanced around, only to see the light green lawn as smooth as the finest carpet, balloons and flowers everywhere, with a set of horticultural plants not far away, forming a line of words with various roses: Congratulations to Mr. Qin Mu and Miss Su Xingqi on their engagement!

Mr. Qin Mu, Miss Su Xingqi?!

Su Xingyu’s expression changed, turning her head to look at Jiang Zhenzhen beside her, and asked: "What’s going on? Did you deceive me?"

By now, even a fool knows they’ve been tricked!

Jiang Zhenzhen’s pale oval face flashed with panic but quickly calmed down, saying: "Xingyu, I can’t hide it from you any longer, please don’t blame me, it was Su Xingqi forcing me to lure you here. She said if I didn’t listen to her, she wouldn’t let me stay in the modeling circle! I’m just a small model, Xingyu, unlike you who have such strong backing, please forgive me..."

Su Xingyu was so mad at her she laughed: "You know I have strong backing, yet you dare to offend me like this?"

Jiang Zhenzhen’s face still wore a pitiful expression, apologizing repeatedly: "I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."

But what she thought in her heart was quite different—Su Xingqi had long said she’s definitely the future wife of the Qin Family, and as for Su Xingyu? Her relationship with Mr. Lu was probably just a fleeting romance.

From Jiang Zhenzhen’s observation, this was indeed the case; Su Xingqi came and went in luxury cars, adorned with gold and silver, while Su Xingyu often just went out in a T-shirt and jeans, taking only the bus.

Thus, she’d rather offend Su Xingyu than dare to offend Su Xingqi.

She didn’t dare say these words before Su Xingyu’s face, but her body inadvertently blocked Su Xingyu’s way to stop her from leaving: "Xingyu, since you’re here, why not help Miss Su Xingqi and them take some photos? Otherwise, they might make things difficult for me, please just help me one more time, okay?"

Help?

Su Xingyu sneered, some people are worth helping, and some, helping them only digs a pit for oneself!

"Move." She pushed Jiang Zhenzhen, who was blocking her path, aside, intending to leave.

"Oh, I wondered who it was, turns out Su Xingyu came." Just then, a loud voice came from afar, attracting many people’s attention from the nearby lawn over to this side.

Su Xingyu turned to look and saw Liu Meizhi wearing a bloated burgundy dress, her plump figure resembling a balloon filled with air, walking towards her with a flashy smile: "Why are you here? Look at your outfit, you’re here as a photographer, right? I said, you this child, leaving the Su Family and living so poorly, Qiqi happily holding an engagement banquet, but you can only work at her engagement banquet to earn money!"

Her loud and continuous speech drew numerous guests over, intending to watch the spectacle.

Seeing the situation, Su Xingyu knew she couldn’t leave, turning her head to see that the car that sent her here had already been driven away without her noticing.

She could only lift her head, fearlessly staring Liu Meizhi in the eyes: "Work? Look at your daughter and see how she measures up, is she even worthy? I’m just taking photos nearby at the scenic spot, accidentally got lost and wandered in! I’m leaving now, no need for you to send me off!" Saying this, she turned to prepare to leave. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Liu Meizhi was stunned, not expecting her to have such a comeback.

Then, what was the point of her and daughter Su Xingqi painstakingly designing for her to disgrace herself at the engagement banquet?

Qiqi had waited so long, just to humiliate Su Xingyu at the engagement banquet, how could she let Su Xingyu leave like this?

"Don’t go!" She said reflexively, then pointed her red-painted nails at Jiang Zhenzhen beside her, "Zhenzhen, didn’t you bring her here? You agreed she’d come as a photographer!"
