Chapter 289: 258 Meet and Try (2 Updates)_1

Su Wanyi was shocked because she didn’t understand why Tang Feng would say such a thing.

Could it be that Tang Feng and his family already knew Lu Han’s worth?

She thought they didn’t know, so when Wen Ai earlier suggested that Lu Han should apologize to her son, although she also felt that such a demand was simply overreaching.

But she didn’t argue and instead came back to convey Wen Ai’s request to them, also as a way to test the waters.

Now, the result of her test had come out.

If Tang Feng knew Lu Han’s true identity, then it was no wonder.

Was the reason Tang Su and Su Ruoan were so eager to declare her relationship with Lu Han and to make it public in front of their whole family simply to guard against all eventualities?

When their father was still alive, didn’t he always say that among the Su Family’s five children, the third Su was the most honest and least scheming?

Hmph, she now realized that this "third Su," who seemed so honest, might be the most calculating of all five siblings.

Otherwise, how could Tang Su snag a golden bachelor like Lu Han?

If their mother and daughter had been so calculating in dealing with Lu Han, what would Lu Han think of Tang Su if he found out about this?

She was truly looking forward to it.

"Anyway, things are like this now. They said that if you don’t go apologize, we probably won’t be able to take our family portrait smoothly today, and when we can get together so neatly again, I have no idea," Su Wanyi said, appearing helpless.

She even indirectly shifted the responsibility for not being able to take the family portrait onto Su Ruoan’s family.

Su Ruoan naturally understood that Su Wanyi’s attitude of washing her hands of the matter and not wanting to manage anything was definitely not appropriate, and furthermore, it was very improper to turn against her own family at such a time.

But they couldn’t afford to waste such time. Su Wanyi was right about one thing—if they couldn’t take the family photo today, it was uncertain when they could next get everyone together again.

Both she and Tang Shengyi had jobs, and this time off wasn’t something they could just take whenever; besides, everyone else was also busy. There was also the health of the elderly lady to consider, which could lead to unforeseen circumstances.

So, if they could take the photo today, it was best to do so and fulfill the old lady’s wish.

"Big sister, give me the screenshot of the reservation. I’ll go talk to them," Su Ruoan requested the reservation screenshot from Su Wanyi.

"No, wait, auntie, is this the best photo studio in Beijing?" Tang Feng stepped forward to ask as well.

As soon as the words "photo studio" came out of Tang Feng’s mouth, everyone else burst out laughing.

A photo studio?

Which outdated era did that term come from?

It truly showed that he was born in the countryside and hadn’t seen the world.

Now everyone calls them something like a photo gallery, a shooting studio, a photography studio, right?

They keep up with the latest trends and stay current.

The term "photo studio" has long disappeared in the tide of time, okay?

Such an outdated expression, and still Tang Feng had the nerve to ask.

"Of course there are better options, but if we go Dutch, I’m afraid your family can’t afford it," Su Wanyi taunted him with the same words Tang Feng had just spoken.

After all, when their uncle had moved houses recently, their family had also given out a considerable amount of gift money.

Seeing that the New Year was approaching, if Tang Su was going to marry Lu Han, no matter how much the Lu Family offered for the bride price, given what she knew about Su Ruoan, and with her younger sister’s temperament, the dowry wouldn’t be small.

She just feared her daughter would be bullied by her in-laws.

These were all financial pressures for their family.

Even though Tang Shengyi had made some money from stock trading, that sum of money wasn’t sustainable, and he could lose as much as he earned since stock trading was essentially gambling, and there’s no certain win in gambling.

So, how long could their family’s income last?

"It’s fine, since we’ve already booked this place and can shoot here, let’s not go looking for another. If it really doesn’t work out, we’ll talk about it then," Su Ruoan said calmly.

Hearing Su Ruoan say this, Su Wanyi knew that Su Ruoan was simply unwilling to spend more money.

Furthermore, this was Beijing. Higher-caliber photography studios required advanced booking, unlike their rural photo studios where one could just walk in anytime and get pictures taken.

The quality of those photos was simply incomparable.

After Su Ruoan received the screenshot, Tang Feng and Tang Shengyi, father and son, guarded her like bodyguards on each side and escorted her out.

At that moment, Tang Su was about to follow them when her phone rang; it was a call from Lu Han.

Tang Su glanced at the Su Family, informed Su Yangming with a word, squeezed the phone, and left the VIP lounge to find a quiet corner outside before answering Lu Han’s call.

On this side, Su Ruoan and the others straightforwardly approached the on-duty manager of the studio with the screenshot in hand. They didn’t make a scene but inquired calmly about the studio’s workflow.

Then they asked if, as clients, they had followed the studio’s procedure and booked their best photographer three months in advance.

Su Ruoan’s queries were logical and rational, and her incredibly calm demeanor meant she had no intention of causing trouble. Faced with such stable and composed customers, the manager felt somewhat embarrassed.

Every word they said was true. This situation originated from an error on the part of their studio, although not exactly their fault, as Peter had taken another client at the last minute.

As the chief photographer of the studio, Peter had the right to do so.

After he made that move, the studio could bear the cost of the moderate cancellation fee instead of having Peter pay out of his own pocket.

Having signed a cooperation agreement with the studio for so many years, these incidents were rare for Peter, but they did occur.

However, they hadn’t caused any irreparable damage to the studio or Peter personally.

After all, losing one or two insignificant clients was negligible to them.

"Yes, indeed, there was a lack of coordination on our side. Ma’am, how about this? While it’s true that Peter is unavailable today, as an apology, we are willing to substitute another instructor. Besides the instructor’s fee, we will waive all other costs for you. How does that sound?"

"I don’t have a problem with it, but our grandmother is very fond of the portraits Peter took of her. I even heard that a prestigious client said that if my daughter and I apologize to her, she would be willing to give up Peter’s time. Why don’t you take me to meet with that prestigious client first to see if we can resolve this?"

"..."

"Alright, ma’am, right this way, please."

Seeing Su Ruoan’s serious face, the manager knew there was such an incident. After a pause and realizing that Su Ruoan was indeed not someone who would make trouble, he nodded in agreement and led her towards a better VIP lounge.
