Shadow and Light: The Bride Who Clicks Her Way to Love-Chapter 392 - 405: Clearing the Venue

Su Xingyu patiently explained to the children, "You’ve already taken up the time meant for other older brothers and sisters. This venue should now be for others to use, yet everyone has stopped to wait for you. It’s great that you’re willing to work hard, but you can’t disrupt others. Delaying others because of your own matters is not a good habit."

"Ah...?!" The children exclaimed in surprise.

One of the children said apologetically, "Sorry, sister, we didn’t know."

They’re just a bunch of kids; they don’t understand anything about photography or venue rental. If no one explains it to them, they wouldn’t realize they’ve taken up others’ time.

"Sister, have we caused trouble for someone else?" asked Zhuzhu timidly.

"You don’t need to feel too guilty. Ignorance is no crime, which means you didn’t know about this, so no one blames you," Su Xingyu said gently. "But now that you know, you should follow the venue’s rules and return it to those who reserved time. That’s what good kids do."

Her words convinced the children, who nodded in agreement.

Immediately, a child raised their face to Zhuang Heng and said, "Mr. Zhuang, we won’t shoot anymore. Can we find another time?"

Zhuang Heng was so angry she almost fainted, "You can’t disobey me! I hired you, you’re drinking my milk, eating my candy!"

If she hadn’t said this, it wouldn’t have been so bad, but once she did, she drew disdain from many of the adults present.

Su Xingyu was so sensible, patiently teaching the children life lessons, advising them to strive but not to set unrealistic goals, and not to infringe on others’ deserved rights, so that when they grew up, they wouldn’t become rascals who think they’re justified just because they feel weak. But what about Zhuang Heng? Not only could she not impart these values to the children, but she also misled them, using her authority to force them to act according to her will, without caring about the impact this might have on the children’s worldview.

"Mrs. Lu, this isn’t very appropriate, is it?" Even the venue manager couldn’t help but speak up.

The children were at a loss, looking at each other, standing uneasily in place not knowing what to do.

Zhuang Heng did not want Su Xingyu to have the upper hand. She couldn’t outtalk Su Xingyu, but could she not coerce these children? So she coldly said, "If you eat my stuff, you must work for me!"

"Waa..." A younger girl was frightened and started to cry.

"Zhuang Heng, don’t be too excessive, the children have agreed, even if you change the time, what difference does it make?" When Su Xingyu saw the child cry, she couldn’t help but intervene.

Zhuang Heng looked at her with a smile: "Miss Axing, if it weren’t for you meddling in other people’s business, the children wouldn’t have been fine and wouldn’t have cried."

Amidst the chaos, time flew by swiftly, and soon enough, a message was sent from the Cloud’s side, where the models waiting for the venue were: "Miss Axing, Lina said she’s sorry, her time is up and she has to rush to the next location, this shoot can only be rescheduled." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Su Xingyu didn’t say anything yet, but the venue manager from Cloud already felt disheartened, rescheduling?

This meant they were losing out on who knows how much appearance fee today!

This money was going down the drain!

No one’s money comes from thin air!

At that moment, the manager was extremely frustrated and couldn’t help but glare at Zhuang Heng: "Satisfied now?"

Zhuang Heng heard their conversation and smiled inwardly with pride; she was satisfied, of course, very satisfied. Her appearance here today was precisely to undermine Su Xingyu. However, on the surface, she put on an indifferent act, even attempting to sow discord, saying to Cloud’s manager: "I don’t understand why your model running off has anything to do with me? If not for you having this busybody photographer," she slightly raised her chin, gesturing toward Su Xingyu standing not far away, "butting in, maybe without her interference, I’d have finished photographing the children by now and freed up the venue for you, and your model wouldn’t have made a wasted trip, haha."

"Nonsense!" Cloud’s manager was furious. He didn’t understand Zhuang Heng’s attempt to sow discord, but Su Xingyu had worked well with everyone in that period, and it wasn’t as if an outsider could stir things up with just a few words. Moreover, everyone saw the events unfold; it was clear Zhuang Heng was bullying people first, how could they blame Su Xingyu?

In fact, they even wanted to applaud Su Xingyu’s handling of the situation!

Seeing the model had left, Su Xingyu was also very angry, partly because she felt bad for Cloud’s costs, and partly because anyone who came out to work with energy and discovered that due to various ridiculous reasons, their work progress had been delayed would be furious.

"Zhuang Heng," she calmly looked straight into Zhuang Heng’s eyes, her temper rising, "remember what you said and did today."

Two photography assistants behind her recorded the whole scene. She decided that once back, she would show these videos to the media, letting the public see Zhuang Heng’s true colors!

She turned to the two photography assistants and the Cloud manager behind her and said, "Let’s go."

The Cloud manager understood that continuing to tangle with Zhuang Heng was meaningless since the model had already left. What else could they shoot if they stayed? They couldn’t just photograph the remaining children like Zhuang Heng, could they? So he had no choice but to glare at Zhuang Heng with anger mixed with helplessness and followed Su Xingyu.

Zhuang Heng felt uncomfortable under their departing glares, but a smug smile appeared on her lips. Ha, being resented, so what? At least she won this argument. If she continued this a few more times, making people feel that collaborating with Su Xingyu was troublesome and discordant and that Su Xingyu lacked discernment, then when comparing her and Zhuang Heng, who would win and lose would be obvious.

And the two photography assistants following Su Xingyu?

Yes, Zhuang Heng noticed they recorded something, but it didn’t matter. Once they stepped out, naturally, someone would use illegal means to confiscate their cameras, and when the footage was edited, with certain interpretations, wouldn’t it be up to her?

Hehe...

As Zhuang Heng thought about it, she felt better and the curve of her smile grew wider.

But at this moment, a crowd suddenly surged into the venue entrance.

The leading men were tall and sturdy, seemingly from some control team, and quickly occupied various positions around the venue. Some loudly said, "Clear the venue, clear the venue! Why are people still here?! Everyone out, everyone out! Next round!"
