"Hubby, how did it go? It must have been a genuine Rolex, right? You brat, what do you have to say for yourself now?" said Guo Ya-Wen when she saw her husband. She was already condemning Ye Fan before she got her facts straight.
THUD!
But Lei Dong-Bao hurled the watch viciously onto the ground with a thud before Guo Ya-Wen could finish her sentence.
"Hubby, what are you doing?" asked Guo Ya-Wen in shock.
"That damned Zhou is an asshole and he swindled me! It's a fake," said Lei Dong-Bao viciously as he gnashed his teeth.
What?
Was it a fake too?
Guo Ya-Wen trembled like a rooster that was being strangled by its neck as she stood in shock.
It was as though cold water came dousing down on her arrogance and put it out immediately.
In an instant, Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were both speechless. They were too embarrassed to speak further and stopped ridiculing Ye Fan.
Xu Lei and Ye Fan remained silent too.
Ye Fan had a strange smile on his lips, like he was looking at clowns as he looked at Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao. This made the couple feel undoubtedly uneasy.
At this juncture, Meng Han came hurrying over after using the ladies.
"Have you authenticated the watch? I told you it would bite back on you, Ye Fan! I just knew you were saying rubbish and was deliberately accusing Wenwen and Dong-Bao. It's not like they are idiots. They were swindled for the purse, but there's no way they were swindled into buying a $1 million watch too. Do you think they are as stupid as you and keep trying to do dumb things? What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to apologize to them?" Meng Han scolded Ye Fan coldly.
But Ye Fan didn't appear the least bit upset when he heard Meng Han. Instead, Ye Fan shook his head and smiled.
Xu Lei and the others even gave Meng Han strange looks.
"Hey, why aren't any of you saying anything? Wenwen, he accused your husband of buying a fake watch for $250. Aren't you going to say a word?" said Meng Han perplexedly.
But Lei Dong-Bao and Guo Ya-Wen were almost dying from fury.
Guo Ya-Wen's face kept changing color. Then she could no longer suppress herself and said furiously, "Just bloody shut up!
No one's going to think you're a mute if you quit yapping!"
Guo Ya-Wen was so angry that her face flushed crimson.
Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao just wanted to like things quietly go under the radar, but Meng Han kept talking about the watch's authenticity.
Darn, was Meng Han stupid?
Lei Dong-Bao and Guo Ya-Wen were already feeling utterly embarrassed.
But Meng Han kept pouring salt on their wound repeatedly.
So Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were naturally furious.
"Wenwen, did I do anything wrong? How can you say that of me?" said Meng Han indignantly. She defended them but ended up getting scolded by Guo Ya-Wen.
In the end, it was Xu Lei who told her to stop talking because Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were frustrated enough about ending up buying imitation goods repeatedly, so Meng Han shouldn't keep throwing salt on their wounds.
"What? The watch was a fake too?” asked Meng Han. She was undoubtedly baffled.
Meng Han wondered whether Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao were just faking it when they kept bragging about their wealth earlier on.
The purse was a fake, and now this watch was an imitation too?
So Meng Han couldn't help wondering if they were just pretending to be rich altogether.
After all, Meng Han didn't usually hang out with Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao, and it was just a mere coincidence that they ended up going out together today. After she discovered the fake goods they were using, Meng Han's attitude towards them experienced a subtle change.
"Wenwen, you guys sure are unlucky. Your purse was a fake, and now this watch is an imitation too," consoled Meng Han.
"Humph, we befriended the wrong people and were fleeced. But the loss was only slightly over $1 million, so my hubby can earn it back in a matter of days. Okay, let's stop talking about it and continue having fun. Let's not dampen our spirits because a mere $1 million," said Guo Ya-Wen as she put on a bold front and acted nonchalantly, even though her heart was bleeding inside.
