“Hehe~~ Miss Jin truly is interesting.”
The voice behind the screen sounded somewhat troubled. “I’m not greedy. Just show a little sincerity—give me one hundred thousand taels of silver, the string of warm jade beads on your wrist, and a lock of your hair.”
Why did that way of speaking sound so familiar? Wasn’t that exactly Jin Luoluo’s own signature line for tricking people out of money?
She had clearly walked too many dark roads at night and finally run into a ghost—and not an ordinary ghost at that.
This one was a black-bellied scheming ghost, Jin Luoluo concluded about the man.
“And you still have the nerve to say you’re not greedy? I thought I was already the most奸诈 among profiteers, but who knew I’d meet my match this time. I finally understand the truth of the business world: there is no such thing as the most cunning, only someone even more cunning.” Jin Luoluo rolled her eyes and spoke resentfully.
“Hehe… Miss Jin, you may choose not to accept. After all, the choice is yours. It makes no difference to me anyway.”
The man behind the screen was Xiao Luo. He had been leisurely boating on the lake when he happened to hear the amusing quarrel between Zhang A-San and Jin Luoluo.
Just from watching the way she cursed people, he found her extremely entertaining.
And since Xiao Yu praised her so highly, she must have something unique about her.
Beautiful women in Chuyun Kingdom rarely behaved with such bold fierceness. Her insults were sharp yet exhilarating. This girl was frank and unexpectedly adorable.
He felt the urge to tease her a little, if only to add some amusement to this otherwise dull excursion on the lake.
Jin Luoluo choked with anger. “You shameless profiteer! You’re using one crook to rob another—taking advantage of a fire to loot the place! You know I can’t fight back in this situation, don’t you?”
Xiao Luo laughed heartily as he stroked his fan. She really spoke bluntly. Daring to call him shameless showed good judgment too—she had seen straight through his nasty nature at a glance.
“Hehe… Miss Jin’s comments are quite interesting. Shameless profiteer? Hmm, I am indeed a bit shameless. Taking advantage of a fire? That seems accurate too. One crook robbing another? So you know you’re a profiteer yourself. Still, being robbed by another crook is better than being robbed by an honest man, isn’t it?”
“You… ruthless… bastard…” Jin Luoluo said through gritted teeth, her finger trembling as she pointed.
She had seen scoundrels before, but never one this outrageous. His sharp tongue could actually rival hers. At once she felt the sorrow of why must there be Zhou Yu when there is already Zhuge Liang?
In her previous life, Jin Luoluo had already been forever suppressed in second place beneath Su Mo.
At least after transmigrating to ancient times and becoming the richest woman, she had thought no one would ever dare trample her underfoot again.
