HRPM – Chapter 403 Why are you copying me?

What Mu Yun truly admired about Jin Luoluo, this wild and straightforward girl, was her brilliant mind. It was filled with an endless stream of ingenious ideas that always left people pleasantly surprised.

Whenever Jin Luoluo was carrying out one of her schemes, her eyes would sparkle.

At those moments, her whole person seemed to radiate an indescribable brilliance. Even as a woman herself, Mu Yun couldn’t help but think Jin Luoluo was exceptionally beautiful.

Even Brother Xiao Yu had fallen under her spell. Whenever he looked at her, his gaze was so focused and gentle.

Mu Yun couldn’t help but envy her.

If I had even half of her charm, would Brother Yu look at me with the same devoted eyes?

Jin Luoluo patted her on the head.

In truth, she was very fond of this reckless yet candid and lovable girl. Looking at Mu Yun was like seeing a part of her own natural temperament, and it gave her a sense of familiarity and warmth.

“Mu Yun, everyone is different. Why do you want to be like me? I think you’re already adorable just the way you are—innocent, cheerful, and full of life.”

“Besides, the environment you grew up in is completely different from mine. You don’t need to stay alert every moment of every day just to deal with people.”

“To put it bluntly, people are shaped by their circumstances. My cleverness wasn’t something I wanted—it was something I had no choice but to develop. Doing business is full of risks. If I weren’t smart enough, I don’t even know how many times I’d have died by now.”

“Hmph. Do you really think my life is as glamorous as it looks? Look at you—you have a happy family and a noble status. You’ve always lived a carefree and happy life. I’m the one who should be envying you. And yet you want to be like me? You’re enjoying your blessings without realizing it.”

As she finished speaking, Jin Luoluo poked Mu Yun on the forehead, hoping to wake her up to the fact that life wasn’t nearly as simple as she imagined.

Did she think a sharp mind could simply be cultivated overnight?

Whether in ancient times or the modern world, the business world was full of hidden dangers and ruthless competition. Without her wits, she would have gone under long ago.

“There… I guess I really was thinking too simply.”

Mu Yun stuck out her tongue sheepishly.

Jin Luoluo’s words also filled her heart with a sense of contentment. Suddenly, even the prince’s residence, which she had always thought dull, and her nagging royal father and mother, seemed rather lovable.

The other three men, however, felt a pang of heartache after hearing her words.

Although Jin Luoluo had spoken lightly, anyone with a bit of sense only had to think about it to understand.

For someone to become the richest person in the country, how many treacherous schemes and business dangers must they have survived to reach such a position?

And she was still such a young woman.

She had undoubtedly endured far greater pressure and danger than most people ever would.
