"Mom! Why're you crying? It's such a happy day, look how touched you are!" Wen Lan teased, sidling up with a grin, eyeing the gift bag in Shen Han's hands. She let out a shocked squeal, "Wow! Is this Brother-in-law's gift for you? Mom, let me see what awesome stuff he got you!"
With that, Wen Lan playfully snatched the exquisitely wrapped gift bag from Shen Han, opening it under everyone's curious stares and pulling out the contents.
"Rolex!" Du Bin, sporting an Omega De Ville on his wrist, instantly recognized the logo.
"No way, a Rolex watch?" Shen Yun leaned in excitedly.
Wen Lan's fuss drew everyone closer, curiosity piqued.
Wen Lan gaped at the Rolex box, pausing halfway through unwrapping it.
A Rolex watch?
Even the cheapest ones cost over 50,000 RMB. Could Brother-in-law Li Bin really have gotten Mom a Rolex?
Shen Han froze, staring at Li Bin with disbelief in her eyes.
Only Wen Ying's family still seemed clueless about what a Rolex was.
"Hurry, open it!" Du Bin urged, eager.
Wen Lan took a deep breath, pulling out a luxurious watch box from the bag.
Snap! The box opened, revealing a pristine Rolex watch.
Under the light, the watch's crystal and diamond-encrusted bezel sparkled brilliantly.
"It's really a Rolex!!" Shen Yun gasped.
Everyone sucked in a collective breath, stunned.
Spending over 100,000 on a car? No big deal.
But 100,000-plus on a watch? That was jaw-dropping for everyone present. A watch was jewelry, a luxury.
Spending that much on a car was a necessity, something ordinary folks did. But splashing out 100,000 on a watch? That screamed wealth!
The poor play with cars, the rich play with watches!
Even a family like the Dus, with a small business and millions in assets, couldn't justify such an expensive watch.
Du Jianjun and Shen Yun wore only a Longines and a Titoni.
Li Bin's gift of a 100,000-plus Rolex to Shen Han was downright shocking!
"Xiao Bin! This～～" Shen Han, stunned, took the watch from the gaping Wen Lan, shaking her head as she tried to hand it back to Li Bin. "Xiao Bin, I can't accept such an expensive gift! I know you work hard for your money. I'm already so happy today—return the watch."
"Honey, where'd you get this kind of money? This Rolex has to be at least 100,000, right? Listen to Mom, return it," Wen Wan said softly, her voice tinged with concern.
"No worries, you guys really think this is a real Rolex? Look at the watch on Brother-in-law's wrist—think that's real? That Blancpain 6654 he's got, legit ones cost over 90,000. A knockoff's maybe four or five grand tops. He's wearing a fake himself, so of course the one he gave Auntie is fake too. A few thousand bucks, no biggie," Du Bin sneered, stepping forward to glance at the watch, instantly declaring it a fake.
"Oh? It's fake? Jeez, Xiao Bin, why send something like that? I was about to praise you, but now? Just saving face," Shen Yun said, feeling better once she heard it was fake.
"So it's fake～～" Wen Wan let out a long sigh of relief.
Shen Han quickly took off the watch, slipping it on briefly to try it, then smiled, seemingly to comfort Li Bin. "What's wrong with fake? Fake's a steal! I love fake ones. This watch is perfect! Xiao Bin, I'll keep it! Thank you, my wonderful son-in-law!"
"Man, Brother-in-law, bragging to us is one thing, but giving Auntie a fake watch? I don't even know what to say," Du Bin seized the chance to mock Li Bin again.
Li Bin had stolen the spotlight today, making Du Bin seethe with jealousy. He just wanted to see Li Bin humiliated to vent his frustration.
"Heh, yeah, no way Li Bin could afford a 100,000 Rolex. Even I wouldn't splurge like that," Du Jianjun added with a cold chuckle.
"Real or fake doesn't matter. It's the thought that counts. Can't a knockoff tell time? Looks nice to me, pretty good deal. Way better than spending 100,000 when you can get the same thing cheap," Wen Ying said, unable to stand by, defending Li Bin.
