A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 486 An Awakening!

How could a loser who couldn't even bear to buy a proper gift for his girlfriend be capable of discerning whether a luxury LV product was fake?

LV was an internationally recognized brand that specialized in luxury goods after all.

What qualified as a luxury item?

Only things that a small number of rich people could afford were deemed luxury items.

The likes of Ye Fan probably only saw a purse like this at such close proximity just this once in his life.

So Meng Han thought Ye Fan was blabbering nonsense the moment she heard him claim it was a fake. But was he truly blabbering nonsense?

Ye Fan's composed voice suddenly rang just as Guo Ya-Wen and the others became angry and hateful of him.

Ye Fan seemed confident as he spoke unhurriedly, "This LV bag comes from an international luxury brand, and there are many fakes on the market. Due to their low price, materialistic people with no money adore them. But fakes like this are low cost, so they are poles apart from the authentic product in terms of quality."

"Stop wasting our time and get to the point. We don't have time for your nonsense!" interrupted Guo Ya-Wen sternly when she heard the baloney Ye Fan said.

"I think you don't know anything about what you are saying, and it's all gibberish. Wenwen's husband is a CEO who handles millions in turnover daily and is truly wealthy. Do you think he's like you? Even after you sell everything you own, you can't even come with a few hundred thousand. You can only be a cheapskate and buy a high-end fake," said Meng Han angrily.

Meng Han simply didn't think that Guo Ya-Wen would carry a fake purse.

Although Guo Ya-Wen was materialistic, her family was rich enough to satisfy her vanity, so there was no need for her to carry an imitation purse to brag.

Ye Fan ignored the ridicule of Guo Ya-Wen and the others and appeared normal. Then he continued, "It's not hard to differentiate between a real and a fake product either. The first thing is its scent. A real LV product has a distinct leather smell, but your purse smells pungent, so it's probably made of man-made leather."

"That's rubbish!" scolded Guo Ya-Wen furiously right away as she glared at Ye Fan before he could finish, "Both Hanhan and Lei touched my purse. Why didn't they smell any man-made leather? Why could only you smell it? Are you a dog?"

"Hanhan, did you smell any man-made leather in my purse?" Guo Ya-Wen asked Meng Han as though to prove the authenticity of her purse.

Meng Han shook her head and replied, "No, I didn't think. I thought it smelled okay."

"What about you, Lei? You're his girlfriend. Tell him whether this purse is made of real or man-made leather," said Guo Ya-Wen as she asked Xu Lei as well.

Xu Lei shook her head and said she didn't take notice earlier on, so she couldn't tell if it was genuine leather or man-made.

"Humph, even Lei didn't detect the scent of man-made leather. What more do you have to say?" asked Guo Ya-Wen as she glared at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan took a tiny sip of his coffee before he continued, "Don't get anxious. Even if you can't smell it, you can check out its print. An LV purse's print usually comes in coffee brown with some other colors mixed in between while the fake is entirely coffee brown!"

"Hurhur, you just don't give up, do you? In that case, bring your purse over, Wenwen. Let him look and see if the coffee-brown color has other colors mixed in between it and make him give up for good!" said Meng Han when she realized Ye Fan refused to give up and continued talking gibberish.

Meng Han took the purse from Guo Ya-Wen angrily. Then Meng Han placed it before Ye Fan and looked at it.

Instead, she discovered Guo Ya-Wen's purse was entirely in coffee color and didn't have any gradient to it.

In an instant, Meng Han's arrogance withered a little before she turned to look at Guo Ya-Wen. Then Meng Han said hesitantly, "Wenwen, your purse really only comes in one solid color. Do you think..." "That's impossible! Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just purposely saying that. Who said anything about this purse being fake if it came in a single color? When I bought it, I deliberately picked this design!" explained Guo Ya-Wen.

"Really? If you don't believe me, why don't you look at its logo? Every single real LV logo is symmetrical, and the purses have evenly distributed lines. Also, the bumps on the fakes aren't three dimensional enough and tend to be densely squeezed together," continued Ye Fan.

Meng Han opened the bag and personally checked it as she listened to Ye Fan's explanation.

"Darn, he was spot on! Wenwen, this logo is lopsided, and the lines on your purse are truly messy," said Meng Han in surprise. She previously didn't notice these details, but now that Ye Fan mentioned them, Meng Han undoubtedly detected that the purse lines were uneven.

The workmanship of the logo was poor, and Meng Han could even see some loose thread.

"Bullshit! My hubby bought me the purse, so it can't be a fake. Hanhan, don't listen to his nonsense!" said Guo Ya-Wen even more furiously when she saw Meng Han grow suspicious about the authenticity of her purse.

Then she snatched the purse from Meng Han's hands and undid its clip to locate its serial number.

"Fine! If that's how you want to play it, I will entertain you! You just want me to check whether this bag is authentic. In that case, there's no sense in talking anymore until I do. This bag has a serial number on it, so I will call LV's official customer service line and ask, and we will learn the truth once they confirm it. I'd like to see what you'll end up saying then," said Guo Ya-Wen. Then she held up the phone to search for the official LV customer hotline and dialed it.

"Hello, is this LV's official hotline? Can you help me check a serial number and tell me if your company produced this purse?" asked Guo Ya-Wen before quickly reading the serial number on the bag with her phone on handsfree.

"You better listen up closely and stop this nonsense about accusing me of using a fake purse, you brat!" said Guo Ya-Wen coldly as she laughed with a confident look on her face.

Her husband just bought her this purse from Europe a few days ago for $600,000. How could it be a fake?

Miss, I'm sorry, but our company didn't produce any purses with this serial number. If the item you bought claims to be one of our purses, then it must be a fake. So I suggest you report this to the police and try to minimize your loss."

What the...?

A fake?

The customer service staff's response struck Guo Ya-Wen like a blow to her head. She was instantly stunned as though someone had slapped her on her face.

"Are you sure? I spent $600,000 on it. How could it be fake? Check it again!" roared Guo Ya-Wen hysterically at the service staff like a mad woman.

In the end, the results remained the same.

They couldn't determine its production history using that serial number.

"So it really is a fake?"

Although Meng Han was certain Ye Fan was spouting nonsense, she stared in astonishment when she saw what happened to Guo Ya-Wen. Meng Han didn't expect Ye Fan to be spot on.

"I told you Fan wouldn't accuse her for no good reason," said Xu Lei to Meng Han with a smile on her face.
