NOVEL NEXT Chapter 70
Chapter 70: If You Can’t Afford It, Don’t Touch It
Luo Chenxi was a little surprised, but after giving it some thought, she decided that it was all right.
Even if Mu Yichen did not approve of her as a wife, the Mu Family would be the one losing face if the Young Madam was seen taking public transportations for her daily outing and activities.
“Alright then, I’d like to go to the textile market at Jiang Bei Road. It’s right by the docks, pretty easy to find.”
When they arrived, Luo Chenxi set for Old Liu to pick her up at five o’clock, then entered the market on her own.
This was the largest textile market in T City. People could buy all kinds of fabrics and accessories of different grades.
She had confirmed five sets of design for women clothing along with a few sets for men with designs that had also started to take shape, that brought her here to check out the market today.
For her, the biggest challenge in the entire design process was the lack of funds.
If only she could spend less on the fabrics that cost the most, she would have saved a ton.
Luo Chenxi started shopping from the eastern most part of the market and constantly checked out all the shops as she headed west.
The more she looked, the more she felt like shaking her head.
The cheap fabrics that were within her budget were all of very poor quality. There was no way they could bring out the effects of her design.
As for the slightly better ones, the price shot up several folds.
She only had a little more than 10,000 yuan at hand and that was not even enough to bear the cost for 10 sets of clothing.
The worst part was that there was not one fabric in the market that could fully meet her desired standards even if she paid no heed to the prices.
This made Luo Chenxi very frustrated.
The fabrics played a big role in accentuating the final effects of the end product, so it was not something she could afford to be careless with.
As she reached the eastern end of the market, Luo Chenxi suddenly stopped to look at the luxuriously decorated storefront before her.
This was the only fabric shop left, and it was the most luxurious one in the entirety of T city.
She had heard of this shop a long time ago and knew that the owner specially purchased the fabrics from all over the world. These goods had always been directly supplied to top-tier corporates like the SL Corporation.
Aside from large corporations, only a few other well-known designers who designed luxurious collections could afford them.
With the money that she had, she could probably only afford a piece of cloth the size of a handkerchief…
“Screw it, I’ll head in and take a look anyway!”
Luo Chenxi strode into the shop and immediately knew she came to the right place.
As expected, the shop was luxurious for a reason. All the fabrics displayed were no ordinary goods, but were instead of top-tier quality. Each and every one of them had their own unique textures and patterns that were rarely seen in the market.
Compared to the fabrics in this shop, the ones out there were as good as trash.
However, Luo Chenxi immediately felt dispirited as soon as she saw the price tags.
She had totally overestimated her wealth back there. It turned out she could not even afford a single piece of handkerchief from this shop!
However, these fabrics were all extremely beautiful, especially the one in aquamarine. From the looks of it, it perfectly matched her design and she wanted to know how it felt to the touch…
“Miss, you’ve been poking around our shop all day, are you even planning to buy anything? If you’re not going to buy anything, please stop touching as you please.”
A sudden frustrated voice from the back disrupted Luo Chenxi’s train of thought.
“Our goods here all cost a fortune. Any one of these could easily cost more than a typical branded garment! Stop poking around if you can’t afford them. Please leave at once! These are all works of art, you can’t afford to pay for them if they are damaged!”
Hearing those words, Luo Chenxi frowned.
She wanted to leave. However, this was the only shop that had the fabric that suited her tastes…
