HRPM – Chapter 469 I’ll Pay for It Myself

“U-Um… which one of you is paying?”

The shopkeeper asked in a trembling voice as he looked at the owners of the three outstretched hands.

All three were exceptionally young and handsome gentlemen, each carrying himself with extraordinary elegance and charm. At a glance, anyone could tell they were men of distinguished birth.

But that wasn’t the important part.

The important part was the murderous look in all three of their eyes:

“If you dare refuse my money, you’re dead.”

W-What was going on here?

Who ever fought to pay the bill while looking like a gang of bandits?

He didn’t dare accept money from any of them. If he took one man’s payment, he’d offend the other two.

The shopkeeper’s face crumpled miserably.

“Miss, which one is actually your sweetheart? How did you end up with three of them? That’s not right. A person should be faithful to one love. Otherwise, the Weaver Goddess will strike you down.”

Jin Luoluo was speechless.

What nonsense is this shopkeeper talking about? Since when did I have three sweethearts?

Turning around, she saw the three men glaring fiercely at the shopkeeper, their eyes practically crackling with icy sparks.

Could this be the legendary showdown between love rivals?

She instantly understood the shopkeeper’s predicament.

Offending any one of them was a terrible idea.

So the solution was simple—

Don’t offend any of them.

“Hey, stop intimidating the shopkeeper. We’re civilized people, so let’s behave like civilized people. I’m the one buying this bracelet. How could I let you all pay for it? I’ll pay myself.”

In one swift motion, Jin Luoluo snatched all three one-thousand-tael banknotes from their hands and stuffed them into her pocket.

Then she calmly pulled out a single one-hundred-tael note, slapped it onto the counter with a loud smack, and pointed grandly at the shopkeeper.

“I’m paying for it myself. Now hurry up and give me fifty taels in change.”

The shopkeeper was completely dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, he’d secretly been gloating.

Let’s see how this sly girl gets herself out of this.

She attracted so many men—now she’s in trouble. If she let one of them pay, she’d definitely offend the other two.

Who would’ve thought she was even craftier than he was?

She hadn’t offended a single one of them…

…and had even walked away with three thousand taels.

A genius!

How is her brain even sharper than mine, a professional profiteer’s?

“I think we just got swindled out of another thousand taels.”

Xiao Yu laughed.

He didn’t care about a mere thousand taels.

Seeing Luoluo wearing such a smug, triumphant expression made the money well worth losing.

“If she didn’t take the opportunity to profit from it, she wouldn’t be Jin Luoluo.”

Xiao Che had originally wanted to watch Jin Luoluo squirm and see whom she’d choose to pay.

If she hadn’t chosen him, he had fully intended to make things difficult for her.

Who knew that the crafty girl would come up with such a clever solution…

…and smoothly make off with all three thousand taels instead.
