57: Chapter 057: Does Your Face Hurt?

Lin Ping didn’t even need to think about it; Ye Chen’s watch was definitely fake.

He wore this Rolex and liked to roll up his sleeves to show off whenever he had the chance.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen had just kept his watch hidden under his clothes the whole time.

If Ye Chen’s watch were real, would he not roll up his sleeves?

Besides, could a simple DiDi Brother really wear a watch worth tens of millions?

Clearly, Ye Chen’s watch was undoubtedly fake.

He might be quite handsome, but who would’ve thought he was so pretentious.

Lin Ping smirked and said, “Mr.

Ye, as far as I know, there’s only one of your watch in Hua Country, and it’s been bought by a big shot.”

As he spoke, Lin Ping observed the change in Ye Chen’s expression.

Originally, he thought Ye Chen’s face would show panic, but to his disappointment, Ye Chen remained calm.

Holy crap, after saying all that, this guy was still so calm.

Su Qing also sneered, “The real watch was bought by a big shot, so the one Mr.

Ye is wearing must be fake.”

Lin Ping and Su Qing couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

The words had been spoken; if he was sensible, he should admit the watch was fake, right?

Li Wen also frowned.

This person is not only poor but also pretentious; she could never let her daughter marry him.

“My watch is real.

I bought it for 17.58 million at the Patek Philippe store in the World Trade Center; it can’t be fake,” Ye Chen said calmly.

Lin Ping was speechless.

Even now he’s still pressing on with his humor?

17.58 million?

How many lifetimes would you, a mere DiDi Brother, have to drive to earn that much money?

In Lin Ping’s eyes, Ye Chen was nothing more than a jump-the-gun clown.

Lin Ping said, “Well then, I happen to have a friend who’s a store manager at the Patek Philippe store.

Usually, such high-end watches keep the purchaser’s contact information.

We can verify if it’s a real watch.”

Li Wen frowned, considering Ye Chen was Su Wanyi’s friend.

If it’s fake, not only would Ye Chen lose face, but her daughter would also be put to shame.

“Let it go; it’s not necessary.”

Li Wen’s attitude was very clear; she was already convinced Ye Chen’s watch was fake.

Su Wanyi frowned; her cousin and Lin Ping were going too far.

“I believe Ye Chen’s watch is genuine,” Su Wanyi said earnestly.

“My silly sister, would a DiDi Brother wear a watch worth tens of millions?

Plus, Lin Ping just said that the watch was bought by a big shot with strong background, that guy is just a cheat,” Su Qing whispered to Su Wanyi.

But Ye Chen, who was sitting nearby, heard her clearly.

“It’s alright, don’t you want to verify?

You can call the Patek Philippe store,” Ye Chen said steadily.

Li Wen was almost driven crazy.

I gave you a way out, but you won’t take it, and you’d rather be exposed, wouldn’t you?

This man is not only pretentious but also brainless; how could she ever let her daughter marry such a person?

Lin Ping nodded, “Alright, Ye Chen, if the watch is fake, you can just say it—it’s fine, we won’t laugh at you.

But if after my call it turns out the watch is fake, that would be awkward.”

Ye Chen chuckled, “It’s fine; go ahead and call.”

Since the conflict was already out in the open, Ye Chen couldn’t be bothered with meaningless chatter.

Lin Ping, Su Qing and even Li Wen looked at Ye Chen with utter contempt.

Still being stubborn even now.

Lin Ping dialed the phone, “Hello, is this Manager Chen?

Right, did you sell a limited-edition watch recently?

The 175th-anniversary limited edition, specifically.”

“Yes, yes, that one—there’s only one in all of Hua Country, isn’t there?”

“Could you give me that person’s contact information?

I’d like to inquire about the watch.”

“Alright, thanks a lot.”

Lin Ping hung up and soon his WeChat notified him.

“I’ve got the number; Ye Chen, I’ll give you one last chance to own up.

Actually, many poor guys like to wear fake watches to flaunt wealth.

I don’t want you to look too bad.”

Lin Ping had already dialed the phone with the clear intention to disgrace Ye Chen in front of Su Wanyi and Li Wen.

Yet now he’s acting all benevolent, saying he doesn’t want Ye Chen to look too bad.

Utterly hypocritical!

“Ye Chen, I advise you to admit it; the phone call was made, and your face is about to be swollen from the slap,” Su Qing jibed, with a sarcastic tone.

Ye Chen snorted, “Oh really?

Whose face gets slapped, we’ll see about that.”

Lin Ping heard Ye Chen’s words and sneered.

Su Qing and Li Wen also looked at him with disdain.

Even now, acting tough despite the situation.

Wait for your downfall.

Lin Ping nodded, “Wanyi, I’ve given enough respect for your friend; it’s him forcing me to make the call.”

Su Wanyi actually thought Lin Ping was a decent person earlier, but now, all she felt was disgust and pretentiousness.

Others might not know this, but of course, Su Wanyi knew Ye Chen’s identity.

A watch worth over ten million is a fairy tale to others, but it’s quite normal for Ye Chen.

They all looked down on Ye Chen, unaware that they were, in fact, the real clowns jumping around.

Lin Ping sneered and dialed the number.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Chen’s phone on the table rang.

Instantly, the room fell into dead silence.

Lin Ping stared at the caller ID on Ye Chen’s phone, his hand trembling.

Su Qing and Li Wen were completely stunned hearing Ye Chen’s phone ring on the table.

Their minds went blank.

Initially, they had plans to mock Ye Chen.

Especially Lin Ping, who had been planning to show off his Rolex watch.

But they never expected that the person who bought the watch was indeed Ye Chen.

Ye Chen turned out to be the legendary big shot who bought the watch.

Especially Lin Ping was almost about to cry.

Ye Chen happens to be the second-largest shareholder in their company, essentially his boss.

Acting pretentious in front of friends or classmates might just end in failure.

But if you act pretentious in front of your boss, then you’re just a complete idiot!

Most importantly, he was actually competing with his boss for the woman, isn’t he seeking death?

Ye Chen smiled and picked up the phone, “Hello, does your face hurt?”

Lin Ping jumped up and bowed to Ye Chen, “President Ye, I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was you, please forgive me.”

Su Qing was also dumbfounded, stammering, “President Ye, I’m sorry, I…”

Ye Chen waved it off graciously, “No worries, I’ve already forgotten what just happened.”

Li Wen now beamed with happiness.

Earlier, no matter how she looked at Ye Chen, she found him disagreeable; now, he was entirely pleasing to the eye, like a mother-in-law viewing her son-in-law more favorably by the second.

What do you call grand vision?

Look at my future son-in-law, not only is he handsome and wealthy, but also dignified—absolutely perfect.

Su Wanyi watched as those who had been haughty moments ago became utterly subservient, and she couldn’t help but laugh.

Acting pretentious as you please, don’t you know Ye Chen is the King Bi?

Now aren’t you all fools?

Lin Ping was like sitting on pins and needles, bowing to Ye Chen, “Mr.

Ye, I suddenly remembered there’s something at the company, you guys eat, I’ll head out first.”

Originally here for a matchmaking, but when the competitor is the boss, what’s the point?

Lin Ping left, and Su Qing eagerly asked, “Ye Chen, driving DiDi is your hobby, right?”

Ye Chen smiled lightly, “Not really, driving DiDi is quite great—it’s free, you get to meet all kinds of people, and can earn money too.”

Li Wen laughed, “My daughter sure has an eye for good men, her boyfriend is handsome, talented, and can endure hardships.”

“Exactly, exactly, later I’ll have my useless husband try driving DiDi too, if even billionaires drive DiDi, wouldn’t he feel embarrassed staying at home?” Su Qing chimed in.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, it seems that tonight’s meeting with the future mother-in-law was a success indeed.
