A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 487 Only Worth $250

Xu Lei was clearly happy that Ye Fan's image was saved.

Although Ye Fan wasn't her boyfriend, Xu Li didn't want Ye Fan, whom she respected so much, to get despised by her classmates.

"But Lei, why did Wenwen buy a fake when their family is loaded? I heard tickets for boarding the cruise ship on Yanqi Lake this afternoon went for $100,000 a pop, but her husband just casually gave me three. Why would someone as rich as her buy high quality fakes?" asked Meng Han softly in disbelief while Guo Ya-Wen questioned the customer service staff and Lei Dong-Bao.

Xu Lei pondered. Then she said, "They must have gotten deceived."

Meng Han nodded and said, "I think so too. It cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. They lost two years of my salary, just like that."

Meng Han shook her head and sighed as she smiled bitterly.

After Guo Ya-Wen finished scolding Lei Dong-Bao, they walked back over.

Her fury had already dissipated. Instead, she even smiled and said to Xu Lei and Meng Han, "Sigh, I was too innocent and trusting. I didn't imagine getting fleeced over a bag worth merely hundreds of thousands."

Guo Ya-Wen said in self-ridicule as she smiled calmly.

"Wenwen, are you okay? Don't be sad. Why don't you make a police report? They might even be able to help nab the swindler," consoled Meng Han.

"It's okay. It's just $400,000, so there's no need to be upset. My hubby can earn it back by making a few more deals. I will just treat it as buying a couple of coffins for the swindler's parents," replied Guo Ya- Wen as she waved her hands nonchalantly like she didn't care at all.

Since Guo Ya-Wen already said this, Meng Han and Xu Lei didn't go on with the subject and only smiled.

"Lei, erm I have to thank your boyfriend. If he didn't tell me, I wouldn't have known that I was fleeced. I tend to be too careless and trusting. Even though the purse was a fake and can't compare to the authentic product, it definitely beats the purses you buy for just a few hundred bucks at a roadside stall. I want to give you this bag as thanks to your boyfriend. Although it's not the real thing, it still beats the trash that Fan gave you, right?" said Guo Ya-Wen as she removed her belongings from the purse and tossed it to Xu Lei.

Although Guo Ya-Wen thanked Ye Fan verbally, she clearly hated him in her heart.

After all, Ye Fan caused Guo Ya-Wen deep public embarrassment in front of Xu Lei and Meng Han, so it was only normal that Guo Ya-Wen and Lei Dong-Bao loathed Ye Fan.

Although Xu Lei didn't want the purse and kept turning it down, she accepted it after Guo Ya-Wen kept insisting.

Xu Lei had no choice but to agree to take it for now.

"Haha, we actually got conned! I asked someone to help buy the purse and already transferred him the money, but I didn't expect it to be a fake. Thanks to Fan, we found out. I have to make a toast to you, Fan," explained Lei Dong-Bao as he walked over with a smile and toasted Ye Fan with a cup of tea. He had the self-knowledge that it was a disgrace to get conned, but he pretended to be magnanimous about it.

Ye Fan didn't refuse the toast. After all, they were Xu Lei's classmates, so there was no sense in making the situation too awkward.

"Think nothing of it. Just be more careful with the people you use in the future," replied Ye Fan as he clinked glasses with Lei Dong-Bao.

Lei Dong-Bao deliberately pulled up his sleeve to reveal a luxurious gold watch as he and Ye Fan clinked glasses.

"Oh, aren't you going to get a watch, Fan? How can a man step out without a watch?" said Lei Dong-Bao. He already noticed Ye Fan wasn't wearing a watch and was merely taking the opportunity to show off his watch when he toasted Ye Fan.

After all, Ye Fan embarrassed them.

Now Lei Dong-Bao had to replace some way to win his pride back.

Guo Ya-Wen, Meng Han, and Xu Lei all looked over instantly when they heard Lei Dong-Bao's words.

Guo Ya-Wen instantly smiled and said, "That's right, Lei. All successful men wear decent watches. So why doesn't Fan have one? But it's okay. If he wants to buy a watch, he should talk to my husband. My husband owns several watches and knows all about the quality of each brand. Dong-Bao, why don't you take the chance to recommend a few watches to Fan?"

Guo Ya-Wen jumped on the opportunity to show off her wealth.

"Wenwen, that goes without saying! I felt a familiarity the moment I met Fan, so if he wants to buy a watch, I will certainly give him some tips," replied Lei Dong-Bao. Lei Dong-Bao and Guo Ya-Wen echoed each other and were very well-coordinated.

"Fan, although watches seem like a minor accessory, there's a lot you need to learn about them. There are countless brands on the market now, but most of them are rubbish. Only a few old brands make the real deal. This brand I'm wearing is the best. Rolex is a German brand with a lot of history. They make luxurious and bold watches, and this watch I have is their latest masterpiece this year. It's popular and hard to come by, so I had to go to great lengths to ask a friend to help buy it," said Lei Dong-Bao and clearly sounded proud.

He appeared like he was waiting for Ye Fan to ask how much the watch was worth.

But Lei Dong-Bao was in for a disappointment as Ye Fan didn't ask and merely continued drinking his coffee.

But it didn't matter.

Since Lei Dong-Bao wanted to brag, he would naturally keep talking about it.

"Fan, if you are interested in buying it, you need to know their prices well and avoid paying too much for them. This watch costs about $990,000 and I gave my friend $250 in tips. So that adds up to about $1 million including taxes. So if you want to get one, $1 million is a good price," reminded Lei Dong-Bao as though he sounded concerned about Ye Fan.

"What? That watch is worth $1 million?" exclaimed Meng Han the moment she heard Lei Dong-Bao state its price. She was so shocked that her tiny mouth opened wide.

Meng Han thought it was extravagant enough to spend hundreds of thousands on a purse alone. But the purse was actually considered cheap next to Lei Dong-Bao's watch. This watch was enough to buy a bungalow in her hometown.

Sure enough, the life of the wealthy was beyond their imagination.

Meng Han trembled in shock when she heard the price. Lei Dong-Bao smiled even harder and felt smug in his heart.

But Lei Dong-Bao was upset that Ye Fan acted dumb and didn't say a word after everything he said.

Guo Ya-Wen smiled inexplicably, "Dong-Bao, are you mistaken? Why recommend him such an expensive watch? He can't even afford a decent present for his girlfriend. Do you think he has the money to buy a watch worth millions?"

Guo Ya-Wen smiled coldly.

Xu Lei frowned and was clearly unhappy.

But Ye Fan smiled instead.

"Hey, what are you laughing at?"

Lei Dong-Bao and Guo Ya-Wen were clearly somewhat annoyed by the mockery in his smile.

"Nothing. I'm just surprised Mr Lei spent $1 million on the watch. In my opinion, it's only worth as much as the tips," rang Ye Fan's voice quietly as he laughed softly inside the cafe.
