Chapter 24 Fake Watch
Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Fake Watch
The second brother, Peng Bo, looked terrifying when he got angry. If Cui Hua hadn’t stopped him, Jia Heng and the others would definitely have taken a beating.
"Who are you? What business do you have with my conversation with Cui Hua?"
Yu Ting hid behind Jia Heng, trying to sound tough. Peng Bo didn’t look like a good person, especially when he was angry, he was intimidating.
Jia Heng, however, patted the back of Yu Ting’s hand to calm her down.
"Everyone has their own choices and future. I hope you won’t bother me anymore, let’s just pretend we never knew each other." Yu Ting calmed herself down and said to Cui Hua.
As the two turned to leave, they found a bear-like, brawny figure blocking the door without them realizing.
"I see my brother is now upset. When he’s upset, you’ll need to check with my fists if they agree to let you leave." Xiong Haitao, the third brother, said with a ferocious expression, word by word.
"Y-y-y-you..." Yu Ting dared not move, and Jia Heng felt his head spinning. Faced with such a fierce and burly figure, he didn’t dare to provoke him.
In the stalemate, Yu Ting had to turn around and shout at Cui Hua, "Don’t you have any shame? Let us go!"
Cui Hua hadn’t spoken all along, and his slightly better complexion turned sullen again.
This woman, does she really think he has a good temper?
If it weren’t for the years of relationship, he would teach her how to behave, minute by minute!
"Third brother, let them go." Cui Hua stood up, unwilling to stoop to such people.
"Wait a moment." Lin Xi, who had remained silent, suddenly stood up. No matter what, the three recognized him as the leader. Now that one had lost face, he too felt embarrassed.
"You said your watch, how much was it again?"
"Sixty thousand, world-renowned brand Patek Philippe, heard of it? Looking at you, you surely haven’t!" Yu Ting looked down on Lin Xi in tattered clothes, sneering.
If it weren’t for the blocked door, she wouldn’t have bothered with such a person.
At the mention of the watch, Jia Heng also got interested and boasted, "As long as Xiao Ting likes it, what’s sixty thousand? It’s just less than half a day’s profit for my jewelry shop."
"Brother Heng, you are so good to me!" Yu Ting seemed deeply moved.
"Wow, I didn’t expect such a wealthy big boss, so generous!" Lin Xi showed a look of envy.
Peng Bo and the others didn’t speak, but they were full of doubts as to why their leader was suddenly asking about the watch.
Although Jiang Yi thought Yu Ting was a bitch, she felt even more disdainful towards Lin Xi now, thinking he was cozying up to Jia Heng while disregarding his brothers’ dignity.
The chubby girl was quite angry at Yu Ting, didn’t care much about Lin Xi’s words, while Ning Jing sympathetically looked at Cui Hua, the fourth brother.
Gu Xiaoxian, next to Lin Xi, blinked her big eyes, looking thoughtful.
"You flatter me, just small money." Jia Heng replied.
"But as far as I know, watches from Patek Philippe don’t have a price under a hundred thousand." Lin Xi continued without stopping,
"Could it be second-hand? That’s unlikely; for a wealthy person like Boss Jia, gifting a second-hand would be losing face, wouldn’t it?"
"There’s only one reason left; it’s on discount."
As Lin Xi said this, everyone in the box, even Yu Ting, looked at the previously high-spirited Jia Heng, feeling something was amiss.
"Yes, yes, yes, that day the shop happened to have a discount." Jia Heng hurriedly replied, though his hopeful look did not escape many’s eyes.
"Sorry, I haven’t finished." Lin Xi smiled, with everyone curiously looking over, he then added,
"Patek Philippe doesn’t have discounts!"
Jia Heng’s relieved expression instantly looked like he swallowed a pile of, shit, angrily shouting, "What makes you say there aren’t any discounts, is Patek Philippe owned by you?"
"Even without touching on discounts and prices, as a famous Swiss watch brand, the trademark is crucial for Patek Philippe. Hence many who don’t understand might think their watches bear the Patek Philippe logo."
"But contrary to that, the logo has never appeared on any of their watches."
All eyes turned to the watch on Yu Ting’s wrist, only to find a huge Patek Philippe logo on it, as if afraid others wouldn’t notice.
"So, this one is fake!"
"Yes, I just checked online, Patek Philippe doesn’t have discounts, and the lowest price is well over sixty thousand." Jiang Yi also spoke to verify.
Jia Heng looked around evasively, ready to rush out with Yu Ting, but was effortlessly blocked by Xiong Haitao, the third brother.
Yu Ting was utterly embarrassed, having been showing off only to find it a counterfeit, she pleaded, "Brother Heng, they must be lying, explain to them! Even if it’s fake, I won’t blame you, just buy me a real one next time!"
Jia Heng’s face turned black, and before he could respond, Lin Xi continued, "Looking closely at this type of watch, with this pattern, six for a hundred bucks at a stall."
"By the way, Boss Jia, I happen to have a friend named Bai Bing, who owns a jewelry company. She should know you, I can call her to ask."
"No no no, no need, don’t trouble Boss Bai, in their eyes I’m just a small businessman." Hearing Lin Xi’s words so well-reasoned, Jia Heng didn’t dare underestimate him, hurriedly stopping Lin Xi from making the call.
"Brother Heng, just let him call, how could someone like him know a person like Boss Bai." Yu Ting didn’t know who Boss Bai was, but seeing Jia Heng’s opposition assumed that person was surely famous.
Such a person, how could they associate with such a poor appearance, obviously boasting with a tiger’s skin.
Smack!
"Stupid bitch, can you keep quiet?" Jia Heng was also frustrated, slapping Yu Ting without control.
When he realized, he hastily apologized to Yu Ting, promising to get her a Louis Vuitton bag, which calmed her down.
Besides Lin Xi, even Cui Hua, the fourth brother, was stunned. He did not expect the girl he dated for years to be so vain.
"Sorry, I misspoke. Although Bai Bing is my friend, her family runs a software company, with nothing to do with jewelry! Also, your bag, a Louis Vuitton? It doesn’t even look like a good fake, probably from the same stall as the watch, both under fifty bucks!" Lin Xi showed no embarrassment, continuing as Jia Heng was left dumbfounded.
"Speak, what is it exactly you do!" At this moment, Lin Xi suddenly shouted, channeling the Xuan Yuan Shen Long technique, effective for deterring the mind.
Thud!
Jia Heng seemed out of his mind, falling on the ground, soiling himself, "I’ll say, I’m a con man, posing as a tycoon to trick some female students, taking sneaky photos after getting them in bed, then blackmailing for money..."
"..." Lin Xi didn’t expect this.
"..." Yu Ting looked like her soul had left her, utterly lost.
"..." The others thought this was a damn plot twist.
