C3 Real and Fake Luxury Watches

Lin Fengxue worked at the Hengtian Real Estate sales office.

"Fengxue, you're super lucky! Mr. Lee just came by and bought three houses from you. Your position as the top salesperson is secure."

A woman dressed in the same professional attire as Lin Fengxue said with an envious expression.

This was Lin Fengxue's close friend and colleague, Wang Tongtong.

"Fengxue, you got really lucky! You should take us out for dinner tonight!"

"Sorry, not today," Lin Fengxue said with a smile. "I'm going to the movies with Chu Hee tonight."

"Chu Hee?"

Wang Tongtong didn't wait long to say what she thought: "I've always wondered why you chose him. He doesn't have a job, he just stays at home, cleaning and cooking. What does he do for you?"

"If I were you, I would have kicked Chu Hee out a long time ago! Fengxue, you're really pretty, smart, and successful. Director Wai, the CEO of Hengtian Real Estate, keeps asking you out. Don't you see what he wants? Why are you still with Chu Hee?"

Lin Fengxue's expression soured as she retorted, "Tongtong, Chu Hee is really nice. And we truly love each other; that's all that matters."

"Fengxue, do you think this is child's play? Love doesn't pay the bills!"

"Don't be too trusting; these days, everything costs money. Love without financial security is like trying to hold onto sand slipping through your fingers. Imagine if you unexpectedly became pregnant and couldn't work – who would support your family then?"

Wang Tongtong kept advising, "Baby food, diapers, toys – they all have a price. Plus, there are costs for the child's school, activities, and more. Do you want to handle all that by yourself? You'll get tired sooner or later."

Her advice made sense, and Lin Fengxue didn't know what to say for a moment.

Every woman hopes to have someone to rely on.

But Lin Fengxue didn't want to force Chu Hee to work only for money.

"Stop, Tongtong. My choice to be with Chu Hee is mine, and even if he doesn't make much money, I'm determined to stand by him," Lin Fengxue said firmly.

Wang Tongtong was surprised by Lin Fengxue's determination. "Fengxue, why are you so stubborn? I'd support your decision if Chu Hee could improve your life. But think about how tough things are for you right now."

Wang Tongtong added, "Think about how frugal you are – you don't even have nice jewelry and clothes."

"If you were to divorce Chu Hee, you'll have plenty of amazing guys lining up to take you out. Do you really want to wait until it's too late and regret your choices?"

Lin Fengxue's expression changed dramatically, and she fixed Wang Tongtong with a determined stare. "Tongtong, I couldn't care less about fancy clothes and shiny jewelry. For me, a marriage without love is just empty. If you're truly my friend and you care about me, I'd appreciate it if you didn't bring up such topics again."

Seeing how genuinely upset Lin Fengxue was, Wang Tongtong wisely decided not to say more. But she couldn't help but feel a lingering grudge in her heart. She thought that without Chu Hee, Lin Fengxue might have had a better life.

When the workday ended, Lin Fengxue gathered her things and left the office.

Chu Hee had been patiently waiting at the Hengtian Sales Office for a while, eager to surprise her with a special gift.

"Chu Hee!"

As soon as she spotted Chu Hee, Lin Fengxue ran over with excitement.

"Did you wait for long?"

Chu Hee looked at her lovingly and shook his head. "No, I just got here."

"Fengxue!"

Upon hearing her name, Lin Fengxue turned around and saw Wang Tongtong walking towards her briskly.

Before leaving work, she had touched up her makeup, giving her a rosy complexion.

While giving Chu Hee a once-over, Wang Tongtong couldn't suppress a contemptuous snort, noting that his entire outfit probably cost no more than 300 yuan.

"Where are you two going later?"

Lin Fengxue answered, "We'll have dinner first, and then go to the movies."

Wang Tongtong smiled and said, "Let's go together. My boyfriend will be here in a moment, I'll ask him to give you a ride so you won't need to take a taxi."

Wang Tongtong glanced at the small box in Chu Hee's hand and noticed the Omega logo on it.

"Chu Hee, is this the gift you prepared for Fengxue?"

Lin Fengxue finally saw the gift box in Chu Hee's hand and opened her mouth in surprise.

"That's right, this is a little gift I prepared specifically for Fengxue."

"A little gift? Judging by the logo, this should be an Omega watch, right?"

Wang Tongtong knew a lot about fancy brands because she aimed to marry someone wealthy. To make herself look more valuable, she spent all her money on luxury items.

She knew about the Omega brand and naturally knew the prices.

A mocking smirk appeared on Wang Tongtong's pretty face.

"Omega watches cost a lot of money, sometimes hundreds of thousands! You're holding a fake one, right? It can't be worth much."

Lin Fengxue felt embarrassed as Wang Tongtong teased Chu Hee about the watch he was carrying.

She never really liked expensive things or cared about receiving presents. However, if the watch Chu Hee had was actually a very convincing fake, and Wang Tongtong revealed this in front of everyone, she would feel really embarrassed.

"May I take a look?"

Wang Tongtong was waiting for a chance to reveal Chu Hee's shortcomings and show Lin Fengxue his true nature. This would be easy for her, and she might even use it to convince Lin Fengxue to rethink her relationship with Chu Hee.

With that in mind, she eagerly snatched the box and, without waiting for Chu Hee's consent, took out the watch from inside.

When Lin Fengxue saw the watch, her eyes widened as she exclaimed, "Is this the same watch I saw last time?"

Chu Hee smiled and said, "Yes, I remembered you liked it the last time you saw it, so I bought it as a gift for you."

He said it casually, like it was no big deal.

Wang Tongtong ignored him and examined the watch closely. As she scrutinized it, her expression gradually became serious. To her surprise, the watch actually looked genuine.

"This watch is pretty good; it looks just like the real thing."

Deep down, she was still convinced it was a high-quality fake.

Just then, a Jaguar pulled up by the side of the road, and the window rolled down.

Wang Tongtong's eyes lit up, and she said eagerly, "Perfect timing, my boyfriend just arrived. He's a high society guy; he can definitely tell if this watch is real or fake."

Wang Tongtong waved enthusiastically at a Jaguar car, even standing on her tiptoes to be noticed. Shortly after, a sophisticated middle-aged man in a suit and glasses stepped out of the car.

Wang Tongtong naturally linked arms with the man and proudly introduced him, "Let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Charles Wang. He used to work for one of the world's top 500 companies abroad and is now a vice president at a company in Yuncheng."

When Charles Wang saw Lin Fengxue, he was surprised.

"Tongtong, is this your friend? She's very pretty."

Lin Fengxue nodded politely and smiled, "Mr. Wang, you're being too polite."

Wang Tongtong held the watch up and couldn't wait to expose Chu Hee as a hypocrite.

"Charles, can you please tell me if this watch is real or fake?"
