But such life came to an abrupt end after Jiang Xiaoyan met Xiao. Xiao said, how can you go to the online store to buy things, to buy vision are low, our family, even a pair of leather slippers, or a drying rack, but also to go to the Golden Eagle or Deji? Xiao took her to the empty top counter and began the "sparrow into a phoenix" journey. The salesgirl followed Xiao, calculating that he was carrying more than 100,000 credit cards, and the service was incomparably thorough and considerate. Xiao also lived up to the attentiveness of others, anything, as long as Jiang Xiaoyan tried a good, or he thought it was good, he said: "Package! Invoice!"

  Seriously, at the beginning did not like this what there is a feeling the girl, that the other, but after a month, Jiang Xiaoyan got tired of, too much sugar bitter, this is not cheap and sell good word. Xiao began to like Jiang Xiaoyan, is that this little girl fresh like a sparrow, but to keep her as a real girlfriend, how can she not turn into a phoenix? Xiao took great pains to teach her how to eat, including the service lady to the dishes in front of a small plate, can only touch a month or two, never eat the third mouth, not to make a five-star banquet did not try the kind of child; teach her how to dress, including the cold days, can not wear snow boots, can not wear a coarse wool jacket, thousands of dollars in a trench coat must be directly worn tens of thousands of dresses, or wear a deep V-neck cashmere sweater. Xiao gave Jiang Xiaoyan brainwashing said: snow boots worn like a milkmaid, coarse wool jacket worn like a gypsy singing girl, strappy pants worn like a hair salon hair washing girl, "how can my girlfriend this image!" Xiao also taught her how to pick cosmetics, telling her directly that face creams priced below 2,000 yuan are garbage, "When you use Neutrogena and become allergic, or wear a coarse wool sweater and become allergic, you will be a master in our circle and be able to take it out to meet people." Jiang Xiaoyan thought, "It looks like a sparrow should have the love of a sparrow, a sparrow wants to pretend to be a phoenix, it has to be full of colored hairs on the tail, pretending to live, and pretending to live, she Jiang Xiaoyan never experienced the twisted days before.

  Jiang Xiaoyan gradually understood why Xiao picked her and not other rich girls: because only in front of her, he could feel the pleasure of subordination, the unconditional submissiveness - spending people's money, it is impossible to achieve equality in spirit, that is certain. If Jiang Xiaoyan coveted this richness, less must become Xiao's side of the vase: good, smile sweetly but never tremble; know that some of the boyfriend's behavior is excessive, but did not dare to point out; synchronized with the second and third-rate starlet dress, always on the table to maintain an anorexic appetite for food; must never be excited about anything, to make all the world has seen the look, sickly look, this is the so-called The specimen of "rich girlfriends". Jiang Xiaoyan does not like shark fin soup and lobster sashimi, in her opinion, the big lobster fishy rush is incomparable, which has a foot in the trash, to kill a few pounds of spicy crayfish come to pleasure and comfort.

  That said, if there is no project with colleagues to grab a quarrel, Jiang Xiaoyan momentarily really can not resolve to leave Xiao. Previously, although she no longer spell online shopping with colleagues, no longer for little online shopping giveaways, no longer carry stones with colleagues to eat at the roadside bistro, and strayed from the circle of colleagues to stray, but did not have any positive conflict with colleagues. But this time is different, Jiang Xiaoyan found that all their colleagues are a very tacit agreement to form a project team, and a single set her aside, this feeling ...... lonely through the roof. Jiang Xiaoyan heart a cross, want to play alone, do a small project, but someone coldly said: "there is meat to eat and we grab soup to drink, and not afraid to choke you. Soon to be a young grandmother, still waiting for this profit to buy flowers to wear?" These words choked Jiang Xiaoyan out of tears.

  After the New Year, Jiang Xiaoyan changed her company and broke up with Xiao. To show her determination, Jiang Xiaoyan returned all the gifts that she had not used. How does it feel to give up a rich boyfriend? Jiang Xiaoyan said, like pulling out the wisdom tooth - is your extra tooth, before, it is always swollen and painful, always inflamed, you endured, again and again, today, finally determined to say goodbye to it. Nowadays, when you go to the top counter to try on new clothes, the sales lady is no longer in the three meters to observe the language or attentive service, she can tell at a glance Jiang Xiaoyan is to "pick the look", good online shopping. But Jiang Xiaoyan never regretted it: she knew that after three months, the place where her wisdom teeth had been extracted would be full, and she would get used to the day when all the bills were paid by herself.
