Upon arriving at the mall, Tan Feng led me into a Luxury Store. A Sales Associate approached us with a bright smile and said, "Sir, Miss, how can I assist you today?"
Tan Feng replied, "Choose a few outfits for her."
"Of course, sir." The Sales Associate guided me to select clothes.
I whispered to her, "Excuse me, what's the cheapest outfit in your store?"
"Not expensive, just over a hundred thousand."
Over a hundred thousand isn't expensive? Are you out of your mind thinking about money? As I tried on the clothes, I trembled at the price tags. One outfit costs hundreds of thousands! I couldn't earn that much in a year.
I carefully stepped out of the fitting room, afraid of wrinkling the clothes. Tan Feng and Tan Xiaodong's eyes lit up when they saw me.
The Sales Associate smiled and said, "Miss, this outfit suits you perfectly; it's beautiful."
"Thank you."
"Are there any others?"
"Yes, follow me."
The Sales Associate took me to try on more outfits. Each time I emerged from the fitting room, I could see the astonished looks on Tan Feng and Tan Xiaodong's faces.
Finally, Tan Feng told the Sales Associate, "No need to try anymore; just wrap them up."
This feeling was amazing!
Tan Xiaodong said, "Aunt, I told you my uncle is very generous."
"Uh-huh." I nodded vigorously.
"Let's go pay."
"Alright, sir."
Tan Feng went to settle the bill while Tan Xiaodong and I sat on the sofa waiting for him. She leaned closer and whispered to me, "Aunt, isn't my uncle very charming?"
Charming? He’s beyond charming! He’s incredibly charming.
"Let me tell you, my uncle is really good at chasing girls," Tan Xiaodong said.
"Really?"
"Of course."
"Then why doesn't he have a girlfriend yet?"
Tan Xiaodong shook his head. "I don't know either."
"Maybe my uncle has too high standards."
"But he treats you really well!"
Yeah!
Why does Tan Feng treat me so well? Could it really be like Tan Xiaodong said, that he wants to pursue me? But what do I have that’s worth pursuing? I’m just average looking, and my figure is only okay. Most importantly, I don’t have any money. What could I possibly want from him? His money? I can’t even dare to think about that. His looks? He’s so aloof; would I freeze to death if I were with him? His nephew? Why would I want his nephew? Am I a weirdo?
After paying the bill, Tan Feng came back and handed me a black Card. "Feel free to use it."
Am I being spoiled? This feeling is so delightful! I'm wearing clothes worth hundreds of thousands, adorned with jewelry worth just as much, and carrying shopping bags filled with items worth tens of thousands. It’s not that I bought them, nor did I force anyone to buy them for me. They insisted on getting them for me.
But I'm not happy at all. I always feel like others are looking at me strangely, as if I'm some kind of gold digger. I'm also afraid someone might take a picture of me and post it online, labeling me as materialistic.
Although I am indeed materialistic, I still have principles. If it's not my money, I don't want it. I tried to refuse.
"Tan Xiaodong," I said, "if you keep this up, you'll get me in trouble with my uncle."
"How could that be? My uncle loves me the most."
"But I can't accept it!"
"Why not?"
"It's too expensive."
"It's not expensive at all!"
Talking to rich people is exhausting. To them, tens of thousands isn't considered expensive—so what is? A million? Ten million?
I tried to return these items, but Tan Feng and Tan Xiaodong started buying me more things. So, are they forcing me to spend their money? But I have to return everything tomorrow. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep.
The next day, as soon as I got up, I received a call from Tan Feng: "I'm waiting for you downstairs."
Waiting for me? For what?
"I'll be down soon."
I hurriedly washed up and changed my clothes. When I went downstairs, I found Tan Feng and Tan Xiaodong already waiting there.
