HRPM – Chapter 162 I’ve Been Schemed Against Again (5)

“Those other conservative, stiff portraits of yours aren’t nearly as popular as this one. Just look at you showing a bit of your chest—how many women have you completely captivated~~ See? There are already so many girls standing there drooling over your portrait!!!”

“When it comes to promotion, the key is having something explosive~~~ Only innovation can grab people’s attention. Don’t you know? Ever since you showed a bit of chest, this line of clothing has been selling out instantly. It’s unbelievably popular—I’ve already told the embroidery workshop to rush out new stock overnight. So this painting is a huge success.”

Hearing her words made Xiao Che feel extremely uncomfortable. She made it sound as if he had deliberately been posing seductively to attract people, which left him feeling deeply aggrieved.

“What do you mean I ‘showed my chest’? When have I ever done that?”

“Hehe, I’m talking about the person in the painting, not you.”

Xiao Che was furious. How could this woman clearly be in the wrong and still speak so confidently, without the slightest hint of shame?

“And isn’t the person in the painting me? You’re ruining my image! I don’t care about your ‘attention-grabbing’ or ‘explosive highlights’—just take all these paintings down immediately. Otherwise, your Xiangluo’er shop can prepare to shut down.”

“Your image needs me to ruin it? Are you seriously saying you’re not like that at home? There are plenty of times you’re running around completely bare! I’ve already made your image quite artistic—I was afraid showing your true self would scare people.”

He was basically a wolf in gentleman’s clothing, yet he still had the nerve to talk about his image. A “jade-faced demon” talking about reputation—what a joke.

She could even casually say things like “completely bare,” leaving Xiao Che utterly helpless.

This woman’s skin was thicker than city walls, and she spoke without any restraint, able to turn even twisted logic into something smooth and convincing. He no longer expected to reason with her—only force and threats might work.

“You used the portraits of the three of us brothers to drum up business, and you still dare act fierce? Now I finally understand how someone without reason can be even more overbearing than someone with reason—you’re truly a master of it. But I don’t care what crooked logic you have. If I pass by this street tomorrow and still see those paintings, you’ll regret it.”

“Why are you shouting so loudly? Just a moment ago you kept saying you’d treat me well from now on, but look at you—you don’t keep your word at all.”

Jin Luoluo remained completely unfazed, like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.
