Chapter 61: A Masterpiece

Xu Tongtong looked at the dress in Su Xing’s hand. After a short while, she heaved a sigh of relief and chuckled. Then, she sneered, “Li Luo is my favorite designer. She has a habit of publishing photos of all the dresses that she designs throughout the year on her social media platforms. I follow all of them, but I’ve never seen this dress before!

“Besides, everyone who’s familiar with her knows that she’s well known for her lavish and extravagant designs. Look at this dress. Other than the three plastic diamonds on the collar, I can’t see any opulent elements on it.”

After saying that, Xu Tongtong stared at the young girl that had praised Fu Zhi’s dress earlier on, causing the latter to bite her lower lip nervously. In the end, the young girl gave in to Xu Tongtong’s warning gaze and changed her opinion. “Well, after taking a closer look, I realized the texture of the fabric is rough, so I’m pretty sure it’s just something off the rack.”

Xu Tongtong then looked at Fu Zhi disdainfully, “Whoever the designer is, they must be an amateur. They didn’t do their homework well and they did a bad job of copying Li Luo’s design. This kind of rubbish, which can’t even be considered a counterfeit, is worth only 9.9 yuan.”

After saying that, she hurled Lu Chuwan’s dresses onto Fu Zhi’s vanity. “See? The difference between rubbish and a branded good is as clear as the sky. If you’re still not sure, then you probably should take a look at Wanwan’s closet. She’s got a good style sense.”

A peculiar stagnant smell hung over the dresses, as they had been kept in a closet for too long. When Xu Tongtong flung those dresses on Fu Zhi’s vanity, the mold fluttered down and landed on her powder puff.

Fu Zhi turned her body sideways as she stared at Xu Tongtong. Her eyes were cold and almost cruel.

Xu Tongtong’s heart skipped a beat when she saw Fu Zhi’s expression. It took her a short while to come back to her senses and say, “The vision and minds of people from a small town are very different from those of people in the city. How can you treat rubbish like a world treasure?”

Lu Chuwan glanced across the light yellow dress with tear-filled eyes. Just as she started feeling a little better, someone from the crowd shouted, “Ah! I remember it... No wonder it looked so familiar to me. I visited a museum in China before, and there was this yellow waistcoat that looked almost identical to this dress!”

The girl who had spoken was Bai Miao. She glued her gaze on Fu Zhi’s dress as she added, “They look exactly the same, and both of them can glow under the light!”

Xu Tongtong frowned, “Are you mad? How can the dress of a country bumpkin like Fu Zhi be the same as an antique in a museum?”

Bai Miao ignored Xu Tongtong and picked up the card from the floor. After seeing the emblem logo of China Design Headquarters on the lower corner, she said even more confidently, “If my memory serves me, Fu Zhi’s dress should be made from the golden silk orb-weaver’s silk!”

Spider silk was a natural fiber with very high elasticity, so it was a great material for making clothes and dresses.

However, the golden silk orb-weaver was on a whole different level.

The silk it produced was gold in color and had both great coloration and texture. However, since it was practically impossible to commercially breed the golden silk orb-weaver and this spider could only survive in the plateau region of China, it was not an easy task to collect its silk.

Take the golden waistcoat in China’s museum as an example. More than a million golden silk orb-weavers had been amassed, and it had taken four years to complete the waistcoat. It was the one and only textile in the world that was made with natural spider silk.
