Chapter 117: 117 crazy for love

You can easily own time, but you cannot easily own a Vacheron Constantin.

——Advertisement slogan for Vacheron Constantin.

When it comes to watches, this name is always mentioned, seemingly synonymous with the elite and luxurious.

Owning a Vacheron Constantin is also the lifelong dream of many men.

Li Shuru took a look at the priceless 57260 but instead of leaving, she headed straight into the store.

Guo Ran and the others were all taken aback.

Looking from outside was one thing, but going in for a closer look could be quite embarrassing.

"Shu Rui!"

Zheng Jingjing called out urgently, but Li Shuru had already entered.

They exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow.

"Hello, what can I do for you?"

A beautiful and graceful saleswoman approached with a smile, showing no condescension because of Li Shuru’s youth.

In fact, the scenes in novels and movies where staff look down on people rarely happen in international luxury stores like Vacheron Constantin.

Employees in such stores undergo rigorous systematic training before going on duty and will never easily let any suspicion about your purchasing power show on their faces.

It is often the lowly who are arrogant, and this is also true in the service industry.

If one were really "just looking," that would indeed be somewhat awkward, but of course, Li Shuru was not here for a mere glance.

"I’d like to buy a men’s watch, the budget is within five hundred thousand. Do you have any suitable styles to recommend?"

She got right to the point.

Upon hearing this, Zheng Jingjing and Guo Ran, who followed her in, were shocked and bewildered.

Only Xu Siyi seemed to have guessed something, looking meaningfully at Li Shuru, who was talking with the saleswoman.

Mens’.

Clearly not for herself.

Then the intended recipient was almost obvious.

If before Xu Siyi was eighty percent sure, now she was almost certain—Jiang Chen was most definitely the "frog prince," not a penniless toad!

She really was willing to invest.

"May I ask how old the gentleman is?"

"Just over twenty."

With this information, the saleswoman quickly said, "Please follow me."

She led Li Shuru to a glass showcase and pointed to a watch inside, "This is a new piece from our Vacheron Constantin, part of the new Traditionnelle Perpetual Calendar Openworked Wristwatch series, very suitable for young men in their twenties. It uses modern aesthetics to revive the 18th-century haute horlogerie tradition, embodying the essence of fine watchmaking. If you like, I can take it out for you to see."

Li Shuru nodded.

The saleswoman put on silk gloves and carefully took the watch out of the glass case, placing it in a display box.

For such valuable merchandise, naturally, customers are not allowed to touch it at will.

This watch features a double-sided transparent design, with a dark-brown outer ring and a blue sapphire crystal dial adorned with applied hour markers. The moon phase disk bears two lifelike lunar patterns, and the translucent blue sapphire crystal glass allows for the appreciation of every part of the movement.

"This watch continues Vacheron Constantin’s century-old tradition of watchmaking. The movement has 312 parts, all hand-finished, equipped with an automatic winding mechanism, with a 40-hour power reserve, and can withstand up to 30 meters of water resistance. It comes with a grey alligator leather strap with a large square pattern and matching color stitching, making the entire piece understated and restrained, highly favored by young customers."

Li Shuru naturally didn’t know much about watches and could only judge based on its appearance.

From an expressive standpoint, the watch’s appearance completely met her aesthetic standards.

"Shu Rui, have you lost your mind?!"

Lest this foolish girl do anything more outrageous, Zheng Jingjing couldn’t help but pull her aside, lowering her voice, "This watch costs hundreds of thousands! Do you know how many clothes and cosmetics you could buy with that amount?!"

"I’m not buying it for myself."

"I know it’s not for you, but it’s even less worth it if it’s for someone else!"

Zheng Jingjing said anxiously.

Although she knew Shu Rui had made some money, spending hundreds of thousands on a watch seemed like quite the waste, even if she admitted that the watch was really beautiful.

Guo Ran was also shocked, her mind a bit muddled, not knowing what to say.

"Alright, Jin Jin, since Shu Rui did this, there must be her reasons. You shouldn’t fret about it.",

Xu Siyi helped to ease the situation, pulling Zheng Jingjing aside and reminding her, "This watch... Shu Rui bought it for Jiang Chen."

"Jiang Chen?"

Zheng Jingjing’s pupils dilated.

Li Shuru did not deny it, seemingly confirming Xu Siyi’s explanation.

Watching her, Zheng Jingjing’s face rapidly changed, becoming incredibly expressive in an instant.

It was one thing for Shu Rui to fall for Jiang Chen, but to actually spend hundreds of thousands on a present for him?

What’s wrong with the world?

Has everything turned upside down?

Isn’t this what boys are supposed to do?

Overwhelmed by her emotions, Zheng Jingjing was a little out of it, lost in a daze.

Xu Siyi pulled her back to reality, and at the same time, signaled to Li Shuru with a glance.

Li Shuru turned around.

"That’s the one, please wrap it up for me.",

Li Shuru didn’t bargain. She knew that in such places, haggling was not an option.

Just like that, excluding that Parmigiani, she had bought the second most expensive item of her life.

And it was for a man, no less.

"Shu Rui, let’s go to the hospital later, you really need to get your head checked.",

Stepping out of Vacheron Constantin, Zheng Jingjing couldn’t help but say, truly believing the other had lost her mind.

If you really like someone, giving a gift is natural, but does it need to be so expensive?

A belt or a bottle of men’s cologne, wouldn’t they be nice?

She was certain it would’ve made Jiang Chen overjoyed!

A watch worth over four hundred thousand.

Looking at the Vacheron Constantin shopping bag in Li Shuru’s hand, Zheng Jingjing’s heart nearly collapsed.

Does a woman in love really have zero intelligence?

She herself had been in love, but she didn’t remember being as foolish as Shu Rui!

It was sheer madness for love!

"Shu Rui, such an expensive watch, do you think Jiang Chen, can wear it?",

Guo Ran’s shock was no less than Zheng Jingjing’s, but what’s done was done, the money had been paid, it’s not like she could go return it now, right?

And since Shu Rui was spending her own money, they could offer advice but had no right to interfere with her decision, no matter how incomprehensible.

"Why can’t he wear it?",

"He’s a pauper wearing a watch worth hundreds of thousands, isn’t he afraid of shortening his life? Also, what if it gets damaged or stolen? What then?",

Zheng Jingjing took over the conversation.

"If it gets damaged or stolen, then just buy another one.",

Xu Siyi murmured dismissively.

"Buy another one, like it’s cabbage!",

Zheng Jingjing was so angry she felt a pain in her chest, "Four hundred and twenty-six thousand eight hundred. I doubt I’ve even spent that much in my entire life."

Xu Siyi shook her head, and for some reason, she seemed to understand Li Shuru’s incomprehensible actions, letting out a long sigh as if she were an old fuddy-duddy.

"With this attitude, you’ll probably have a hard time catching a wealthy husband..."
