Madam, You Wouldn't Want Your Identity as a Witch to Be Exposed, Would You - Chapter 37

Chapter 37: I Could Deceive Her 100 Times

***

“I can lend you mine to wear.”

Qianzhi said without hesitation, although she spoke out of kindness instinctively, she somewhat regretted it after saying it.

After all, formal dresses that require special customization aren’t something anyone can wear, and there was clearly a big difference between Leah and Qianzhi’s figures.

Because Leah had gone through a period of malnutrition, her physique was obviously much smaller and thinner, and her chest hadn’t begun to develop yet.

In comparison, Qianzhi’s body curves were very noticeable, a beauty that even the loose academy uniform couldn’t conceal.

If she were to lend her formal dress to Leah, it wouldn’t fit properly just in the chest area alone.

With formal dresses, what makes them high-end is the exquisite craftsmanship and unique personal tailoring. If people noticed that she was forcing herself to wear someone else’s sized dress, Leah would definitely be ridiculed.

“It’s just the size…”

Qianzhi was troubled, it was clearly too late to request a tailor for customization now, as the graduation ceremony would begin the day after tomorrow.

Even for a young lady like Qianzhi this was a very important day, let alone for Leah.

Who would want to wear worn-out academy uniforms at their youth-defining graduation ceremony, inviting mockery and cold looks from others?

“Don’t worry, it’s a small matter, leave it to me. I’ll definitely have a dress ready before the ceremony that will amaze everyone, I’ll show them who is the most dazzling girl at the event.”

Eve gently massaged Leah’s ankle, looking at her hopeful expression, she couldn’t help but secretly make up her mind.

No matter what, she had to help her precious daughter save face. She had endured too much grievance and bullying at the academy, this time Eve would completely sweep away all the gloom she had experienced in one go!

As for where Eve would get an expensive custom formal dress for her precious daughter, Eve naturally had her own methods.

Of course, it wasn’t about selling herself to Princess Alice, that would be the last resort.

After all, those custom formal dresses, what makes them high-end is just the craftsmanship, the fabric itself doesn’t cost much.

With Eve’s bargaining skills, she could get even the finest fabric at an extremely low price. Once she had the raw materials, couldn’t she just make it herself?

Although for famous tailors in the empire, making a high-end formal dress in one day and night would be very difficult and would require much additional payment.

But for Eve, she could even afford to rest for half a day before starting.

“Really? But… we don’t have money at home.”

Leah lowered her eyes, she couldn’t figure out how Eve would manage to get her a dress that could amaze everyone.

That requires money, lots and lots of money. With Eve’s current savings, it wouldn’t even be enough for the labor cost of a somewhat famous tailor.

Leah, who had truly experienced hunger, clearly understood what it meant to be stopped by a lack of money.

“I know a tailor, if you don’t mind, you can get it custom-made there, and the bill can be sent to me.”

Qianzhi spoke while taking out a business card from her small purse, along with two shining gold coins.

Seeing the gold coins that Qianzhi casually took out, Eve’s eyes widened.

These were gold coins, rarely circulating in the market. One coin’s value would be worth about 10,000 yuan when converted to Eve’s previous life’s purchasing power.

Looking at Qianzhi’s heavy little purse, there were probably many more gold coins inside.

But Eve wasn’t someone who would accept handouts; she hadn’t even agreed to the princess’s patronage, let alone from Qianzhi.

“Darling, that’s not how you should spend money. I don’t need money, nor do I need a tailor. Keep your money for yourself, and remember not to show off your wealth outside, it’s dangerous. Just look at how pure you are, I could deceive you 100 times.”

“100 times… if it’s Eve, that’s fine. One gold coin per deception, even then I would still have 20 gold coins left. Why not deceive me 20 more times?”

If it means being called “darling” once for each deception, then I don’t mind… Qianzhi secretly delighted in her heart.

Qianzhi, her head dizzy from Eve’s sweet “darling” calls, her mind full of pink bubbles, unconsciously tried to push her purse into Eve’s hands.

Seeing her naive and pure demeanor, Eve felt she could easily deceive Qianzhi out of both her money and her person with just a few words.

“I really can’t take your money…”

Hearing Qianzhi’s outrageously wealthy statement, Eve felt that the wealth gap in this world was enormous.

The rich young lady Qianzhi’s other-dimensional purse actually contained 120 gold coins, wasn’t that heavy?

“I have my own methods, don’t worry about it, Qianzhi.”

“Oh, is that so.”

Unable to exchange 120 gold coins for 120 “darling” calls, Qianzhi seemed somewhat disappointed.

However, she was also curious. Professional tailors wouldn’t dare guarantee making a formal dress from scratch in one day and night, how did Eve plan to do it?

And what she promised wasn’t just an ordinary formal dress, but one that would amaze everyone.

Eve was truly an interesting woman, Qianzhi became more and more curious about her.
