Wang Haitao replied humbly, "I only know a little about everything. Yaxin, you think too highly of me."
"It's fine, we can all look at it together. I'm just worried that Hansen might have wasted his money. After all, this thing is rare …"
As she spoke, Shen Yaxin asked the waiter to bring her coffee-colored Gucci bag over. She took out an intricate, dark black box made of wood.
Everyone looked at the box curiously, curious as to what was inside.
Shen Yaxin pursed her lips into a smile, and passed the black box to Wang Haitao.
Wang Haitao smiled at everyone, and carefully opened the small golden buckle on the wooden box.
As soon as the lid was opened, the little object inside made everyone's eyes light up!
It was a watch lying quietly on a piece of pale gold silk!
The reason why everyone was amazed from afar was because the entire bezel of the watch was meticulously made of gold!
Although the people present were not watch experts, they were all knowledgeable people. People of the upper class knew a thing or two about watches. With one look, they knew that this was no ordinary watch!
"This watch is so beautiful. Haitao, don't you study all kinds of famous watches? What is this?" Huang Lele asked her husband.
Wang Haitao was also stunned for a moment, then carefully took out the golden watch to examine it. After a moment of contemplation, he exclaimed, "Oh my god, could this be … 'Vacheron Constantin Tourdelile'?!"
Hearing this, two people who were also interested in watches gasped in surprise.
"No way, didn't they say that there are only seven of these watches in the world?"
"Haitao, are you sure?!" Someone said in disbelief.
Wang Haitao looked at Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin. "It's the Vacheron Constantin Tourdelile, right? If it wasn't for this watch, Yaxin wouldn't have asked me to appraise it."
Li Jianhe said calmly, "I bought this at an auction in England last month. It cost me three million pounds. It's a gift for Yaxin's third wedding anniversary. But I heard that there are only seven of these watches in the world, and one of them is permanently stored in a museum and not sold. So I'm a little skeptical about whether it's real or not. After all, there are a lot of counterfeits in Switzerland these days, and it's hard to tell the real from the fake. "
Shen Yaxin seemed to appreciate everyone's admiration and admiration, especially the way they looked down on Lin Ruoxi and Yang Cheng. Shen Yaxin laughed maniacally in her heart, but on the surface, she maintained a reserved smile. "I didn't want Hansen to spend so much money, but he insisted on buying it for me. It's such an expensive watch, and I couldn't bear to take out the box. This is the first time I'm showing it to anyone, so I wanted Haitao to help me appraise it."
None of the people present were stupid. How could such an expensive item be fake? It was obvious that Shen Yaxin was flaunting her wealth after marrying into a rich family. Three million pounds and a limited edition watch. It wasn't as simple as being rich, it was something that could only be obtained if one had international status.
So, even though everyone knew that she was flaunting, they were still impressed. Especially a few women, they were especially envious of Shen Yaxin's marriage to Li Jianhe.
At the same time, they looked at Lin Ruoxi, who had the opportunity to marry Li Jianhe, and sighed. The two women's fates couldn't be compared because of the difference in their husbands.
"Really? It's that expensive? Oh my god, it's enough to buy two Boeing airliners. "Huang Lele stared at the watch blankly, and asked," Haitao, why is this watch so expensive? Is it because it's made of gold? "
Wang Haitao caressed the surface of the gold watch fondly, and explained in a serious tone, "The Vacheron Constantin TOURDELILE is a watch specially developed for Vacheron Constantin's 250th anniversary. Not to mention the precious materials used, the key is the craftsmanship. It's also one of the most versatile watches in the world, with the most complicated movement structure. Don't be fooled by its small size, it holds a total of 834 parts. The surface has a dark blue night sky, and the artificially carved golden moon can accurately display the phases of the moon.
Look, there's also a perpetual calendar at the top, from left to right, displaying the week, month, and date. The fan-shaped sub-dial in the center of the dial shows the astronomical time difference, which is the difference between the real solar time and the time shown on the clock. What's more amazing is that there's an extremely accurate astronomical chart, and you can clearly see the arrangement of the constellations in the northern hemisphere. "
Everyone was amazed. They had seen many watches, but a watch that could observe the stars and display the phases of the moon was really rare.
After listening to Wang Haitao's explanation, everyone began to praise Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin. They were really envious of the lovebirds, not the fairies.
Lin Ruoxi looked at the exquisite watch, and couldn't help but think of the old-fashioned pocket watch Yang Cheng gave her. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him.
Yang Cheng saw the trace of resentment in Lin Ruoxi's eyes, and his scalp went numb. How could he not know that the woman was blaming him for not giving her something good even though he had the money?
That's too unfair. That's a good product from the hands of the Director of the FBI!
Gritting his teeth, Yang Cheng didn't want to hold it in any longer. He opened his mouth and said to the crowd, "Seeing how lively everyone is discussing watches, my wife and I will join in as well!"
Everyone immediately quieted down, as if they had heard wrongly. They were talking about a super watch worth more than three million pounds, and you're just a gigolo working for your wife, what are you doing here? If it weren't for Lin Ruoxi, there wouldn't even be a place for you here!
Shen Yaxin's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery, and she stole a glance at her husband, Li Jianhe, and giggled, "Mr. Yang, what do you mean? Do you have any unique insights?"
Yang Cheng scratched his head and said, "I don't have any insights, it's just that I gave my wife a watch two days ago. I brought it back from America as a gift, and it just so happened that I'm in a good mood to share my taste with everyone."
Hearing this, Lin Ruoxi's face paled. How did he know that she had a pocket watch in her bag?
Moreover, even though the watch looked a little old, it wasn't like they were comparing who was older. Wouldn't it be embarrassing to take it out?!
In fact, Yang Cheng had already checked Lin Ruoxi's bag, and confirmed that she had brought it with her, which was why he stood up and said this.
Lin Ruoxi was a hundred times unwilling, but she couldn't stop it. She couldn't argue with Yang Cheng here, so she could only secretly glare at Yang Cheng and give him a look. "Are you crazy?! I'll teach you a lesson when we get back! "
Yang Cheng smiled innocently, and didn't say anything. He took the bag from the reluctant Lin Ruoxi, and took out the pocket watch.
Just this simple action was enough to make everyone laugh. It was so casually taken out, and it didn't even have a box to display it. How could it be anything good?
When Yang Chen passed the yellow, old-fashioned pocket watch to Wang Haitao, the few of them couldn't help but laugh.
"Mr. Yang's pocket watch looks a little old. It's rare these days, haha."
"It can't be an antique, can it? Then we've made a mistake."
Chris and Jennifer were the hosts, but they couldn't say anything. They could only shake their heads and smile bitterly.
Li Jianhe and Shen Yaxin were even more amused, as if they had seen the funniest farce in the world. Even looking at the pale Lin Ruoxi, they felt pity for her, marrying such an idiot for a husband. But in their hearts, they were filled with a sense of accomplishment. After all, their hatred for Lin Ruoxi had not diminished in the past few years.
Wang Hai Tao also politely took the watch to have a look. It was strange enough to have a limited edition of seven watches. Most people wouldn't have the fortune to see one in their lifetime. If he took another watch, it would be no different from showing off in front of an expert.
Lin Ruoxi simply closed her eyes, unable to bear to see how embarrassing the scene would be. She hated Yang Cheng to the core. He was obviously rich, but he was so stingy when it came to gifts. Wouldn't it be fine if it was done privately, but wouldn't he become a laughing stock in public?!
While everyone thought it was a joke, Wang Haitao took the watch and glanced at it. However, his smile gradually stiffened …
Wang Hai Tao's hand suddenly trembled. Then, in front of everyone's puzzled eyes, Wang Hai Tao's expression was so wonderful that he could put on a show.
From the beginning, he laughed casually, but gradually, his eyes became a little blank, then bright, and finally, his mouth opened wider and wider, so wide that an egg could be stuffed inside!
"Hai Tao, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze!" His wife, Huang Lele, was puzzled and pushed her husband's shoulder.
Wang Hai Tao suddenly woke up. His action of holding the watch with one hand immediately became a gesture of holding the watch with both hands, as if he was afraid of dropping the watch!
But no matter how he sorted out his emotions, his hands were trembling.
Everyone finally realized that the situation was not normal. Someone asked aloud, "Hai Tao, what's wrong with you? Is there a problem with this pocket watch?"
"HENRYG …" Wang Hai Tao's eyes widened. He couldn't take his eyes off the watch, and he even stuttered when he spoke.
"What?" Everyone couldn't hear clearly.
Wang Hai Tao swallowed his saliva and barely managed to speak clearly …
"This … this is Henry Graves! Henry Graves!!! "
Wang Hai Tao was so excited that he almost shouted it out!
The group was dumbfounded. Why was this guy so surprised? Also, what was Henry Graves?
