Zhang Cuihua also noticed this and chimed in. “That’s right. How can a man not have a watch when he goes out?”

Cui Si sneered at the couple with contempt.

“Leyi doesn’t like to wear a watch as he believes that mature men should be more reserved and not go around showing off just because they have money.”

Zhang Cuihua burst into anger when she heard this. “What are you trying to say?”

But Chen Lin was calmer. He asked Zhang Cuihua to sit down first. After all, this was a public place.

“I wonder what kind of watch you bought for Mr. Li? Why don’t you show it to us?”

Cui Si immediately stopped talking. She knew nothing about famous watches and she did not dare to speak nonsense. If she did, she would expose herself.

As he calmly cut the steak, Li Leyi coldly said, “A Patek Philippe’s 5078G.”

Chen Lin almost spat out a mouthful of wine when he heard that. That watch was worth more than two million. How could Cui Si be so rich?

Even if she used the money she had earned from selling off the nickel yesterday, with Cui Si’s personality, how could she be so willing to buy it for this kid?

He must be bragging and lying.

But Cui Si didn’t care at all. Whether it was a lie or not, how would the hateful couple disprove them?

“Since Cui Si is so generous, how about you show it to someone like me who has yet to see much of the world? I do know quite a bit about famous watches!”

Chen Lin swished the wine in his glass confidently. This time, let’s see what they would say.

Cui Si choked. They had just been lying through their teeth. How could they simply produce one now?

“Cui Si and I broke that watch in a game we were playing together. We’ve sent it to be repaired and we will only get it back tomorrow.”

Cui Si heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Li Leyi’s reply.

But Chen Lin was even more certain that they were lying. Zhang Cuihua had also noticed something and the smile on her face grew wider.

“This isn’t a small matter. Let’s meet up again tomorrow night for dinner when your watch has been returned to you. I’d love to be able to admire it.”

Li Leyi had originally wanted to help Cui Si put on a show, but he did not expect the other party to be so relentless.

Cui Si did not know what to say at this moment. Although she could afford it herself, such a watch needed time to be customized.

She would not be able to get one by tomorrow even if the heavens smiled down on her.

Zhang Cuihua held the wine glass in her hand and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. “You’re still so young and yet you dare to tell such a big lie? Having your lie slapped back into your face must hurt, right?”

Chen Lin laughed unapologetically. Their goal that night was to humiliate Cui Si after all.

Cui Si faced their arrogance bravely as she said, “Well, thank you for your hospitality today. I’ll treat you tomorrow when we meet. And I’ll be sure to show you the watch then.”

The moment she finished speaking, Cui Si got up and dragged Li Leyi out with her. Zhang Cuihua and Chen Lin laughed mockingly at them.

When he reached the door of his house, Li Leyi felt a little apologetic when he saw Cui Si’s expression.

“I’m sorry. I just wanted to help you scare them a little. I didn’t expect them to keep pushing it…”

Cui Si waved her hand. This matter could not be entirely blamed on Li Leyi.

However, what should she do tomorrow night? If she pretended to be dead and refused to go, wouldn’t that be equivalent to admitting defeat? And it would only give Chen Lin another chance to humiliate her even more.

“I’m sorry-”

Cui Si interrupted Li Leyi’s apology and smiled. “Alright, it’s fine. I’ll think of a way to resolve it. You don’t have to worry.

“I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you again tomorrow night.”

Li Leyi nodded heavily. He wasn’t troubled by the favor itself, but how they were going to resolve it.

He contemplated if he should go back and beg his dad to help this little girl tide over the current difficulties.

A casual remark of his had caused so much trouble for her. If he could not deliver tomorrow, they would really be done for.

As a man, he must see his promise to the end.

Cui Si sat on the sofa worriedly. She had already bragged about her new ‘partner’. She couldn’t embarrass herself in front of that scumbag, Chen Lin!

“System, can’t you be a little more awesome and give me a watch right now?”

[…]

Even if the system was not built to do so, if it said that it was awesome, it should walk the talk.

But Cui Si was already exhausted and didn’t want to pursue the matter any further for the night. She immediately got up to wash up before laying on her bed.

She would deal with tomorrow’s matter tomorrow. The worst-case scenario was that she would just embarrass herself in front of that despicable couple.

Knock, knock…

When morning came, Cui Si found herself woken by a series of knocks on her door.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes and walked to open the door. Who was this person who was bold enough to wake her up so early in the morning?

A haggard-looking Li Leyi stood at the door and, with a somewhat hoarse voice, said, “Cui Si, I have-”

Cui Si immediately interrupted him. It was just a watch!

Those who didn’t know the true reason for his current appearance would think that his mother had beaten him up the entire night..
