Chapter 2403: Is this too extravagant?
It’s hard work to entertain such a client!
This was enough to trigger a bad reaction from the missy. “What’s there to try?! What you’ve selected are second-rates! These are dresses that others don’t want! Why are you giving me these?! Do I look that cheap to you?!”
Her scolding made no sense to the poor store clerk, who was totally clueless over her unexplained outburst.
What did she mean by second-rates? These are dresses specially tailor-made by the designers! They’re not selected only because the clients had a different aesthetic preference from their designers!
Some clients were suited for a deep-V cut, yet insisted on royal princess styles. Neither the dress nor the designer could be blamed for their clients’ stubborn capriciousness!
Besides, if she really dislikes these dresses, she can very well get a designer to custom-make one for her, can’t she? It appears that this lady can’t afford the high-designer fee which can go as much as millions of yuan!
What a conceited girl here, looking for princess treatment when she doesn’t have a life to enjoy that!
Of course, the store clerk did not know that she had been made to bear the brunt of this insufferable missy’s fury!
…
Outside the dressing room, Yun Shishi was oblivious to the tumultuous emotions running high inside. The store clerks brought the family to view the gowns one by one, where the actress was satisfied with every piece as she looked them over.
However, she seemed to have a particular liking for the mermaid dress, which might be due to Youyou’s influence, or perhaps, the mother-son pair shared a common aesthetic preference.
As for the older son, he especially liked the dress with the deep-V plunge, where the waistline came with the su-embroidery. His mother got a shock when she stepped in for a closer look.
She found the wedding dress to be especially eye-catching from afar, but she did not know that this was because each embroidery stitch was studded with a diamond. According to the store assistant, every delicate diamond was well-polished and -cut. Because of this, the reflection of the illusionary glaze, brimming with color, was extremely dazzling!
No wonder!
Yun Shishi was tongue-tied with awe.
It’s too extravagant. This wedding dress must be very expensive, right?!
Hence, when the store clerk walked away to take down the dress, she took the chance to draw close to her husband, then she probed softly. “Did you get designers to specially design all these dresses?”
“Yes.” When he saw her hesitation, he asked with a raised brow, “Why? Don’t you like them?”
“I like them! Still, isn’t it a little too extravagant?”
The woman secretly did some calculations on the cost of a dozen dresses. The dress with the deep-V design should cost at least tens of millions, shouldn’t it? If the rest cost a few million each, won’t the entire collection add up to cost hundreds of millions?
The woman’s lips twitched at the thought.
Her husband replied, “That dress with the deep-V plunge was specially designed fr you by Vera Wang. Of course, on my mother’s account, she did this on a friendship basis. The design fee was low, but the handiwork cost a little more.”
“Your mother?”
“Yeah.”
“Vera Wang knows your mother?”
“They were kinda old friends.”
The woman raised her eyebrow but was not too surprised to hear that, either.
“Vera Wang knew my mother before she was famous. They were rather close. She attended my mother’s funeral, and the white gown worn by my mother when buried was designed by her.”
While the woman stood stunned by his account, the store clerk approached her and said, “Ms. Yun, the gown is ready. Can we leave it in the dressing room for you to try?”
“Sure.”
“Please follow me!”
Nodding, the actress turned and glanced at her husband.
