C4 The Heaven Look Grand Hotel

Charles Wang sported designer attire valued in the tens of thousands, complemented by the presence of an Omega watch adorning his wrist, tallying up to a sum exceeding three hundred thousand. He exuded the unmistakable aura of a "successful individual."

He held the watch in his hand and examined it carefully, nodding as he said, "This watch is authentic, Tongtong. Did you buy it?"

"No, it's a gift from Lin Fengxue's husband."

Upon hearing that the watch was genuine, Wang Tongtong found it hard to believe, her brows furrowing in suspicion.

"Did you take a good look at it? Is this watch genuine?"

She couldn't believe it – how on earth could a seemingly penniless guy, depending on his wife for a living, manage to afford an Omega watch worth several hundred thousand?

Charles Wang nodded and said, "I'm absolutely certain; Omega watches come with serial numbers on the back. If you have any doubts, you can give the store a call and verify."

After Wang Tongtong had examined the watch, she, too, began to feel that it was genuine, but she wasn't willing to acknowledge it.

Only by proving that it was a fake watch could she show that Chu Hee was a useless waste.

Otherwise, her belittlement of Chu Hee just now would make it seem like she was intentionally trying to destroy their relationship.

"Even if this is genuine, it's not something Chu Hee can afford. Fengxue, think about it. He usually spends the money you earn, and this watch costs over a hundred thousand. Do you think he has the money to buy it?"

Lin Fengxue lowered her head, her eyes filled with uncertainty. Doubts were eating away at her heart too. After all, Chu Hee had no financial resources; how could he ever come up with over a hundred thousand?

Wang Tongtong fixed a wide-eyed gaze on Chu Hee and boldly declared, "If this watch is authentic, you must have stolen it! Chu Hee, how could you even think of doing such a thing? Don't tarnish Fengxue's reputation."

Upon hearing this, Lin Fengxue immediately turned her worried gaze toward Chu Hee. If that were the case, she would be heartbroken.

Chu Hee sneered, "I stole it? In broad daylight, with so many people around, do you think everyone in the store is blind? Do you think I'm some kind of master thief? Besides, there are receipts and invoices inside this box. Can't you see them?"

Wang Tongtong's expression became awkward.

She pulled out two receipts and quickly examined them, then retorted, "Who's to say you didn't forge these yourself?"

Her aggressiveness left Chu Hee feeling quite helpless. It wasn't the lack of knowledge that was daunting; what was truly unsettling was her own unawareness.

"The contact information for the specialty store is right there. Just give them a call, and you'll get all the answers you need."

Wang Tongtong didn't believe that Chu Hee could afford a luxurious item like an Omega watch. She thought he was pretending to be calm.

Wang Tongtong quickly grabbed her phone and dialed the number. When the call was answered, she promptly turned on the speakerphone, intending to publicly humiliate Chu Hee right then and there!

"Hello, this is the Omega watch specialty store. How can I assist you?" Faang's voice came through on the other end of the call.

Wang Tongtong cleared her throat and stated, "Hello, I'd like to verify the authenticity of the watch I'm currently holding."

"Sure, ma'am. Please provide the production serial number located on the bottom right corner of the watch. Thank you."

Wang Tongtong read out the number and waited for a few seconds before a polite voice on the other end responded, "Hello, ma'am. This Omega watch is indeed authentic and was sold earlier this afternoon. Is there anything else you'd like to know?"

Wang Tongtong's expression changed dramatically as she hurriedly asked, "Who bought it?"

Faang found it strange. She thought to herself, "Isn't the watch in your hand? Why are you asking me who bought it?"

Hold on a second! Is it possible that the person on the other end of the call found this watch?

Immediately, Faang's mind raced to Chu Hee's Northern Dipper Black Card, and she couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

The owner of that black card likely wouldn't be too concerned about losing the watch, but if she could retrieve the misplaced item, it would also present an opportunity to arrange a meeting with Chu Hee.

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but this falls under customer privacy, and we can't disclose that information. If this is a watch you've come across, please return it so we can get in touch with the owner."

Before she could finish speaking, Wang Tongtong exclaimed, "Is it Chu Hee?"

Faang was stunned. "Do you know Mr. Chu?"

Wang Tongtong's heart sank instantly. Even though it wasn't explicitly stated, it was as good as confirmed.

She hastily ended the call, feeling like the watch was a hot potato, and quickly returned it to Chu Hee. Her voice grew quieter as she said, "I never thought you could come up with this much money. But you didn't use the money Fengxue had saved for buying a house, did you? Is this a gift for her?"

It seemed like the only plausible explanation. Otherwise, where could he possibly have obtained such a large sum of money?

Chu Hee frowned and said, "What money I use has nothing to do with you."

He shifted his gaze to Fengxue and spoke with a gentle tone, "Don't worry, my dear. I'm using my own money for this. I'll explain everything when we get back."

Lin Fengxue nodded with a reassuring smile. She had faith in the man she had shared her life with for three years.

After all, when she married Chu Hee, she had been drawn to his character.

"This is just a misunderstanding. Tongtong, it is almost time for dinner. Shall we go?"

Wang Tongtong turned her gaze to Charles Wang and her mood brightened.

In the end, it was just a watch purchase; it couldn't change the fact that he had no substantial wealth. Her boyfriend held the position of deputy general manager—they were in completely different leagues!

"Fengxue, come with us. My boyfriend reserved a private room at Heaven Look Hotel. I bet your husband has never treated you to a fancy restaurant, has he?"

Lin Fengxue didn't want to hear Wang Tongtong mock Chu Hee any further. She declined with a displeased look, "Thanks, but no need."

Upon hearing this, Chu Hee couldn't help but chuckle.

"Heaven Look? Fengxue, isn't our soon-to-be brother-in-law the owner of that place? Why don't we go and show him some support?"

"Your future brother-in-law?"

Wang Tongtong was shocked as she looked at Lin Fengxue.

Lin Fengxue nodded and explained, "My sister brought her boyfriend home today. Heaven Look Hotel belongs to his family."

Wang Tongtong's face turned slightly red, and she felt even more embarrassed. Her initial intention was simply to embarrass Chu Hee.

However, it turned out that Heaven Look Hotel was actually established by his brother-in-law!

She felt a bit awkward.

Seeing Wang Tongtong's embarrassment, Lin Fengxue decided to defuse the situation gracefully. She said, "Tongtong, it's getting late. Why don't you go and spend some quality time with your boyfriend? I won't disturb you two."

Lin Fengxue led Chu Hee away, but as they were leaving, Chu Hee turned to Charles Wang and inquired with a friendly smile, "Where did you get that watch you're wearing? It looks quite nice."

Charles Wang stood a bit taller and responded, "This watch is a limited edition. I purchased it during a business trip overseas. It's not too pricey, just a little over a hundred thousand US dollars."

Chu Hee adopted an innocent look and suggested, "So you shelled out that much money. Maybe you should consider getting the watch appraised just to be sure you're not getting ripped off."

Charles Wang felt a sudden surge of panic in his heart, and his eyes betrayed his nervousness.

Wang Tongtong became irritated upon hearing this and retorted with frustration, "Ridiculous! I think you're just upset about what happened earlier! Can you truly determine if the watch is real or not?"
