HRPM – Chapter 217 The Vixen Comes to Challenge (2)

“Miss Jin truly lives up to being a merchant. Spending your days dealing with all sorts of common folk and mingling in the marketplaces has certainly sharpened your silver tongue — how could refined people like us possibly withstand it? However, though Ruoyao lacks talent, I too would like to exchange a few words with Miss Jin. But if Miss Jin merely intends to use clever evasions and sidestep a true contest again, then Ruoyao will have nothing more to say, except that Miss Jin is deliberately toying with others maliciously.”

Seeing that Yang Ruoyao had finally lost her composure and could no longer sit still, Jin Luoluo became excited.

“Relax, you really are lacking in talent, so I don’t even need any evasive tricks to defeat you. Anyway, I’ll make sure you lose so thoroughly you’ll have nothing to say. But after fighting back against so many people just now, I need to replenish my energy first. Ask your question after I finish drinking my tea.”

Having said that, she directly left Yang Ruoyao hanging there. Seeing that Jin Luoluo dared ignore her so blatantly and refused to give her a graceful way out, Yang Ruoyao could only force an awkward smile and sit back down stiffly.

The great hall once again returned to its noisy atmosphere.

Jin Luoluo nudged Xiao Che and deliberately lowered her voice to provoke him.

“Hey~~ you jinx, didn’t you just say you’d shoulder everything for me? Are you going to handle this woman or not? She’s deliberately trying to make things difficult for me and embarrass you! But I guess you probably can’t be bothered with me. As the saying goes, men forget loyalty when a pretty face appears — you’re probably no better~~ Sigh, sigh, sigh… which idiot came up with that saying about ‘a gentleman’s word being impossible to take back’? How could such a man possibly exist~~”

Startled, Xiao Che looked across the hall at Yang Ruoyao. The proud smile he had worn because of Jin Luoluo froze on his face.

The person he least expected had chosen this moment to make things difficult for him. Why?

Why would Ruoyao do this? Was she jealous again? But he hadn’t even helped Jin Luoluo just now — was she really going to be jealous over even this?

Moreover, the disdainful tone and wording she used toward Jin Luoluo made him deeply dissatisfied. Although Jin Luoluo was not necessarily a good person, she was definitely nowhere near as shameless as Yang Ruoyao had described.

“She won’t make things difficult for you. She knows where the line is,” Xiao Che replied calmly, neither making a promise nor refusing outright.

“Of course she won’t embarrass me, because she simply doesn’t have the ability to. But you say she knows moderation? Pah! A woman who dared bring her maidservants to my residence just to show off and throw her weight around — and you call that moderation? If she counts as restrained, then I, Jin Luoluo, am a saint!”
