Chapter 228: The Watch Is Real

“Oh right, Jiajia, isn’t your Patek Philippe the number one watch brand? It must be more expensive than my watch.”

“This…”

Song Jia paused for a moment. The watch she bought was a high-quality imitation. She didn’t even know how much it was worth!

“Xueru, stop fooling around. Your watch is worth more than 400,000 dollars. How many other watchers can compare to yours?” Qian Xu complimented. He even glanced at Gao Renxing a few times.

This man wasn’t ordinary. He had to have a few drinks with him later during dinner to build a good relationship with him and expand his social network.

“1.2 million dollars,” Lin Yi said lightly.

“Huh? What did you say?” Li Xueru paused. “What’s 1.2 million dollars?”

“Didn’t you ask how much Jiajia’s watch cost? I spent 1.2 million dollars on it.”

Hiss…

Everyone looked at Lin Yi in surprise, their expressions frozen.

He spent 1.2 million on a watch? Wasn’t that a bit too extravagant?

Was her boyfriend that rich?

Song Jia let out a sigh of relief. It was a good thing that Director Lin had reacted quickly and announced the price.

However, wasn’t the price a bit too high?

Li Xueru said that her watch cost 400,000 dollars, so let’s just raise it to 500,000 dollars. 1.2 million was a bit of an exaggeration.

Sigh, it didn’t matter. As long as it could stun her, it would be fine.

“Does Patek Philippe really have such an expensive watch?” The boy named Haozi questioned, “This should be a sky-high price watch.”

“It’s not that high.” Li Xueru’s boyfriend, Gao Renxing, said, “But I don’t think I’ve seen this watch before when I visited Patek Philippe’s exclusive shop.”

“Did he buy a fake watch? I wouldn’t think so,” Qian Xu said.

“That’s just my guess. I can’t say for sure,” Gao Renxing said with a smile.

“Isn’t it simple? There’s a code on the watch. We’ll know after we check it,” Li Xueru said.

Lin Yi smiled at the two of them and shook his head.

If there was a competition for acting tough, Gao Renxing would already win gold. He was also the type of person who would run away after acting tough.

Li Xueru was at most a bronze rank. Gao Renxing would run away after acting tough, but she would continue to act.

“It’s just a watch. Is there a need to make such a big fuss?” Song Jia pretended to be calm and said.

Her watch was a fake watch that she bought for 260 dollars. It might not even have a code. How could she check it?!

“Jiajia, don’t say that. We are classmates. We are doing it for your own good,” Li Xueru said,

“We are only doing this because we are afraid that you might be cheated.”

“That makes sense,” Qian Xu said. “There are a lot of cheats in this society, so we have to be careful.”

“Mr. Lin, please don’t misunderstand us,” Xueru said with a smile. “We are only concerned about Jiajia.”

“I understand. Let’s check it out,” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Under the table, Song Jia held onto Lin Yi’s arm. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating.

“Director Lin, this watch is a high-quality imitation. They’ll know it’s fake once they check it. Why did you let her check it? I don’t want to lose face!”

“It’s okay. My friend sells high-quality imitation watches. They’re all very authentic. There won’t be any problems.”

Song Jia didn’t know what to say. Even if it was authentic, it was still a high-quality imitation watch.

Once she entered the code and couldn’t find it on the official website, it meant that it was a fake!

“Yo, Jiajia, what are you whispering to your boyfriend about? Did we really get it right?” Li Xueru said with a half-smile.

“We’re talking about other things. You’re thinking too much,” Song Jia said anxiously.

“Then let’s check it out. We have nothing to do anyway,” Li Xueru said,

“But I have a suggestion. Let’s check my watch first. What if my boyfriend is trying to trick me too?”

Li Xueru took off her watch and waved it in front of the others. She was very high-profile.

Gao Renxing smiled. He bought this watch in a specialty store, so how could it be fake?

He checked it casually.

Seeing the diamond inlaid on the watch face, Song Jia felt especially bitter.

If she had known that she would be like this, she would not have bought the watch in the first place. Even so, she was not embarrassed enough to back down.

“Xueru, I have already opened LV’s official website. Tell me the code and I will help you check it.”

“SN932552215.”

“Wait a moment, I will check it for you.”

A few seconds later, Qian Xu said, “I found the watch. It’s indeed authentic.”

Li Xueru looked pleased. “Dear, thank you. I knew you wouldn’t lie to me.”

“But the price doesn’t seem to be 420,000 dollars,” Qian Xu said. “The price shown on the official website seems to be 380,000 dollars.”

“This is very normal,” the boy named Haozi said,

“They will definitely increase the price at the exclusive store. With the brand value of Louis Vuitton, 40,000 dollars is not a lot.”

“Then why don’t you go to Tmall or the flagship store to buy it? There shouldn’t be such a large price difference,” Qian Xu said,

“It cost an extra 40,000 dollars, which is not a small amount.”

“At the beginning, I also had intended to buy it online, but on second thought, the goods on the internet might not be authentic. In the end, I went to the big shopping mall. Although I spent a little more money, it was still worth it to ensure that the goods were authentic,” Gao Renxing said with a smile,

“Moreover, people in our circle usually don’t buy things online. Although they are cheap, they can’t guarantee the quality, so they would rather spend a little more money and go to a specialty store to buy real goods.”

“That’s right. At your level, you won’t care about the small profits. What you care about most is the quality of the items,” Qian Xu complimented.

“That’s right, that’s what I mean.”

“The old saying is true. Different income means different class. My main consumption is online shopping.”

“I know, right?” Haozi said, “I wait for 618 and 11 every year just to save some money. Sigh, the difference in our lifestyle is too large.”

“Don’t say anything else. You should work harder to earn money in the future.”

“Exactly.”

“Alright, I’ve checked my watch. Let’s check Jiajia’s too.” Li Xueru said,

“We used to be roommates. I don’t want her to be cheated.”

“No problem.”

As he said that, Qian Xu logged onto Patek Philippe’s official website and said, “Jiajia, tell me the code of the watch. I’ll help you check it.”

Song Jia looked nervous and quietly took off the watch.

She prayed that the person who copied the watch would copy the code as well so that it could save some of her face.

Song Jia’s face lit up with joy as she held the watch in her hand. There was a line of code on the back of the watch.

“Code, the code is 465868.”

“Wait a moment, I’ll check it.” Qian Xu held his phone with interest and started checking.

Song Jia was so nervous that she grabbed Lin Yi’s hand tightly.

Song Jia’s mind was racing. They wouldn’t be able to find this watch on the official website,

She was about to be exposed. Now, she had to think of an explanation or she would lose face.

“This watch is real!” Qian Xu said.
