Spoiled By the Young Master After Reborn In the 80s-Chapter 848 - 846, Choosing Gifts

Zhang Qi finished paying the bill, and Chen Xiaomeng and Xiao Yan also chose the items they wanted to buy. Chen Xiaomeng chose some small toys suitable for infants and two baby bottles, while Xiao Yan chose a baby swaddle. Counting the days, Luo Shu was almost due in mid-April, and it would still be a bit cool then, so the swaddle would be just perfect for the baby.

Wang Fei was examining a baby stroller. Since Luo Shu was having twins, one stroller definitely wouldn’t be enough. Should she buy two?

Seeing Wang Fei squatting there looking at the strollers, Luo Shu walked over with a smile, "Hanmo has already bought the strollers, no need to buy more." Last time, when they were in Langxi Country, they had bought a lot of baby items at the mall. It’s not that they didn’t like domestic products, but domestic products in this area were still very lacking.

Most of the items sold in the mall were imported from abroad...

Wang Fei stood up, looking at Luo Shu, "You guys are really quick, having bought them so early. I was still wondering whether to get two strollers."

"We bought them when we were in Langxi Country last time," Luo Shu said, then turned her head to look at Meng Yujuan, who was picking out items, "Yujuan, I also bought a stroller for you. Just have Li Hui come to my place and take it back."

"Sure!" Meng Yujuan smiled and nodded her head. She knew Luo Shu’s character well, so she didn’t stand on ceremony, but she firmly remembered this kindness in her heart, hoping to have the chance to return the favor in the future.

"I really can’t decide, why don’t we go check out some gold jewelry stores? I heard it’s good for kids to wear gold and silver jewelry," Liu Mengyao suggested. She had looked around the store and, other than some baby clothes, shoes, and strollers, there wasn’t much else to buy.

"That’s a great idea, I agree," Wang Fei agreed.

"Then let’s go," Meng Yujuan said with a laugh. She also found Liu Mengyao’s suggestion quite appealing.

The group arrived at the gold store, only to see that besides the two salespeople, there were no customers; the two staff were chatting with each other.

Seeing Luo Shu and her group enter, the salespeople just glanced over and continued their conversation.

These days, most people who come into the store are just looking, with very few actually buying anything. Although salaries in Jinchen are somewhat higher than other places, the cost of living is also high, and ordinary people have to budget carefully just to afford meals, let alone buy such luxury items that are nice to look at but not practical.

After looking around in the store, they finally saw a few pendants and silver bracelets suitable for babies.

"Luo Shu, pick whichever you think looks good. I have decision fatigue, I like all three of these," Wang Fei said, pointing to three pendants in the showcase. She liked three of them: one gold-wooden fish, a gold peanut, and a gold lock.

"I can’t decide either, how about this, there are exactly three here, let’s each buy one," Meng Yujuan suggested. The ones Wang Fei liked were also the ones she fancied.

"Let’s do that," Liu Mengyao agreed.

"You three are buying such expensive items, I have to buy something too," Zhang Qi said. She had only bought two little outfits, which seemed a bit stingy.

"Yeah!" Chen Xiaomeng and Xiao Yan nodded in agreement.

"Are you six trying to bury my baby under all these gifts? I think it’s better if you three buy together, just one item is fine," Luo Shu said to Wang Fei and the others. She had a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and even large gold bricks in her space, and she honestly didn’t care for these items. But it was hard to refuse when everyone was being so generous.

"That’s too stingy!"

"Exactly, we are the baby’s aunts."

"Let’s each buy one item."

Luo Shu rolled her eyes speechlessly, "Stop arguing, just buy one together. Buying too much is really not useful."

Everyone exchanged glances. "Alright then!" They knew Luo Shu was not just being polite; she truly did not need these things.

"Which one should we choose?" Wang Fei and the other two agonized again, staring indecisively at the jewelry counter.

Just then, a middle-aged man in a padded jacket walked in. He looked around the store and approached two chatting salesclerks, saying to one, "Get that necklace for me."

The clerk sized up the middle-aged man and stepped forward to open the jewelry cabinet.

As soon as the cabinet was opened, a black bag was tossed onto the counter. The middle-aged man, holding a dagger, pointed it at the clerk, "Put the jewelry in the bag, or I’ll take your life. Hurry up!"

"Ah!" The other clerk screamed in fright.

"Shut up! Come over and help her pack, or I’ll kill her." The middle-aged man’s face darkened, and he moved the dagger closer to the clerk in front.

Terrified, the clerk’s face turned pale, and her body stiffened, not daring to move. Her hands trembled as she stuffed gold and silver jewelry into the black bag.

The other clerk also stopped screaming immediately, her face ashen, trembling all over as she approached. It was her first time experiencing such an incident since she started working in the jewelry store. She was really scared and wanted to escape, but she couldn’t just watch her colleague get hurt. If she ran away and the man killed her colleague out of anger, she would never forgive herself.

"Hurry up! What’s taking so long?" the middle-aged man yelled at the clerks.

The two clerks hurriedly quickened their actions.

At that moment, another short-statured man came in.

"Big brother, I’ll help you," said the short man as he approached.

"Control them," the middle-aged man directed him towards Luo Shu and her group, noticing their calm expressions and furrowing his brows. Weren’t they scared?

But he wasn’t worried about them running away now, because besides them two inside, two more accomplices were guarding outside. Even if they dared run out, they would be blocked and forced back in. Until the robbery was complete, no one inside could leave, and no one outside could enter.

They had scoped out the jewelry store long before. Besides the two clerks, there was only one security person. But at this time every day, the security would go out for lunch and wouldn’t return until 1 PM. They weren’t worried about the security person; they just didn’t want to complicate matters by acting at another time.

The short man approaching Luo Shu and the others, brandishing a knife, threatened, "This matter doesn’t concern you. Just stay quiet and wait for us to finish the robbery, or my knife won’t spare anyone... Ouch!"

His voice had barely faded when Zhang Qi kicked the dagger out of his hand.

"How dare you threaten us? Take a look at yourself before you start," Zhang Qi retorted disdainfully, retracting her foot. She had training; was she supposed to be scared of these petty thieves?

Seeing this, the middle-aged man, looking at the small man rubbing his hand, said, "Get your weapon out." They hadn’t expected to use that, but it turned out they had encountered some defiant folks.

"Okay!" The short man, shaking off the numbness in his kicked hand, reached into his coat and pulled out a handgun, aiming at Zhang Qi. She had dared to kick him; he would see how to deal with her later.

Zhang Qi narrowed her eyes, looking at Luo Shu, "Will that stop it?" She was asking if the amulet Luo Shu gave her could stop a bullet.

"No problem!" Luo Shu confidently declared.

"As long as it can stop it, that’s all I need." Zhang Qi stepped forward and threw a punch at the short man. This was her first time facing a gun, and understandably, she was scared. But she had absolute trust in Luo Shu. If Luo Shu said it was okay, then there would be no trouble.
