New Debuff

Su Qi heard Bai Miao's description of the two thieves from earlier.

One person acted as cover, blocking the view of others, while the other, using a long pair of tweezers, stole their phone from inside their hoodie.

I was speechless. With such perfect teamwork, why did they have to be thieves?

Lu Ran wasn't too surprised when she heard that her daughter had lost her phone.

After all, it was Tian's daughter, wearing this suspicious Hoodie Set. With those large hoodie pockets and her always keeping her head down, as if afraid of being discovered, Lu Ran felt it was understandable that she would become a target.

Moreover, she herself has experienced having things stolen in shopping malls.

The time she was most angry was when a thief actually cut open her bag and stole her phone.

Lu Ran's phone isn't expensive, but that limited edition Prada bag costs 160,000 yuan.

She was heartbroken for a long time after it was scratched.

Lu Ran didn't care that her phone was lost; she could just buy another one for her daughter, as long as she was safe.

When Su Qi said that Bai Miao had snatched the phone back from the thief and even subdued the two thieves on the spot, he was shocked.

Lu Ran felt that Bai Miao, this girl, was just as capable and independent as any man, and therefore more to her liking.

Seeing the light in her mother's eyes, Su Qi guessed what her mother was about to say: she would introduce her third brother.

As it turned out, Su Qi was right.

Su Qi quickly stopped her mother, and looking at the long line of takoyaki (octopus balls), she fell into deep thought. Finally, Lu Ran led the two to a barbecue restaurant with a unique flavor.

Su Qi drank the Xue Nai's Tea that her mother had bought and thought the fruit milk tea was quite delicious, with large and refreshing strawberry pieces.

Moreover, judging from the name of the milk tea shop, Su Qi guessed that the owner must be a long-time anime fan.

Otherwise, why would they name their shop after a Sailor Moon Maiden character? Lu Ran watched her daughter sipping her strawberry milk tea with obvious enjoyment.

I just felt that if she were to wear a girl's dress right now, she would definitely be even cuter.

The expenses at Yintai Plaza in Zhe City are really high. Su Qi saw that the bill for a barbecue meal was actually 40,000 yuan.

00+, I just feel that Su City is better, at least it's not so expensive.

Seeing her daughter holding the bill with a pained expression, Lu Ran silently stuffed the milk tea receipt into her bag.

You should know that the cheapest of Xue Nai's Tea is 28 yuan.

The three of us spent 108 yuan on a single milk tea. If my poor daughter knew how expensive it was, she probably wouldn't be in the mood to go shopping again.

The three of them first browsed some jewelry shops. Having been forced to buy jewelry by her mother before, Su Qi refused to go into any shops this time.

Later, while shopping at a cosmetics store, my mother forced me to buy ten red lipsticks.

If she didn't give it to her, she would get angry, so Su Qi had no choice but to silently accept it.

Looking at the ten red lipsticks, only in different shades, Su Qi felt that women were really meticulous, but also that it was really easy to make money off women.

Su Qi didn't see the bill for these ten lipsticks, but they looked much smaller than the ones An Ning had bought for her, so Su Qi guessed they would be cheaper.

But even ten of them would cost over 1,000 yuan!

After accepting the lipstick, Su Qi carried the small bag from the cosmetics store. Having been robbed before, Su Qi was extra cautious this time, frequently touching her phone in her pocket.

Lu Ran, who was observing these subtle actions, suddenly noticed something amiss.

Because as a girl, my daughter doesn't even carry a bag.

Thinking about it, Lu Ran realized that her daughter didn't have any bags in her wardrobe. How could a girl not have bags? So, Lu Ran led the two of them to the luxury goods section on the first floor of Yintai City.

When Su Qi saw those bags, seemingly ordinary yet priced in the six figures, she felt her worldview crumble.

Her own mother still acted like she was looking for a bargain. Su Qi felt that this was quite different from the frugal mother she remembered.

Su Qi was unaware that Lu Ran and Su Lujun had always followed the educational philosophy of "raising sons frugally and daughters lavishly."

Furthermore, Su Lujun has not yet retired. If he were to spend money lavishly, it would easily draw criticism.

Now, her son has become a daughter, and her husband has retired.

Lu Ran felt that it would be unreasonable not to compensate her daughter.

Now, she wants to give her girlfriend the best of everything.

She had her eye on a Prada shoulder strap bra and was about to ask her daughter if she liked it when she was met with her daughter shaking her head frantically.

Then, she grabbed Bai Miao and ran away.

Watching her daughter's actions—preventing her from buying a bag and running away— Lu Ran found it adorable, but also couldn't help feeling sorry for her daughter's financial situation.

After thinking about it, I guessed that the price just now scared her away.

Lu Ran decided that when she got home, she would give her daughter some of the bags she had collected.

As for the price, let's make it a bit cheaper.

He then left the shop and caught up with his daughter.

The waiter felt his heart bleed when he saw this, because his commission was gone.

After saying goodbye to the luxury goods area, Su Qi breathed a sigh of relief. Then, her mother and Sister Bai Miao pulled her towards the final area.

You know, for girls, shopping without visiting the clothing section is absolutely soulless. The last stop for the three of them was the clothing section.

But as soon as she entered the women's clothing store, Su Qi felt something was wrong.

As she saw her mother and Sister Bai Miao approaching her with many little dresses, Su Qi had a bad feeling.

Are they trying to get me to try them on?

As it turns out, this is indeed the case.

Su Qi was quickly pushed into the fitting room by the two men.

Looking at the light pink Maiden dress in her hand, Su Qi fell into deep thought.

Wearing this will definitely give me a debuff, that won't do!

Just then, Su Qi heard Bai Miao's sister and her mother's voices coming from the fitting room door. "Little Qi, you can ask your mother if you need help."

"Your older sister can help you put it on too."

Hearing their words, Su Qi struggled slightly and asked:

"Can I not wear it?"

The answer was no!

Lu Ran was really unhappy with her daughter's bizarre Hoodie Set!

Because it almost completely obscures all of my daughter's good points.

Bai Miao also disliked Su Qi's Hoodie Set, preferring her to wear skirts instead, as they made her look softer, cuter, and more adorable.

Listening to the two men's unquestionable voices, Su Qi felt a headache coming on.

Thinking back, I realized that I had just refused to buy jewelry and luxury handbags.

Su Qi felt that if she refused again at this point, not to mention Sister Bai Miao, her mother would definitely be angry.

Moreover, the last time Su Qi returned to Zhe City, she also accompanied her mother shopping and trying on clothes.

If I stubbornly refuse to try it on this time, it will definitely seem very strange.

She looked at the light pink Maiden dress in her hand, thought for a moment, and asked the System Girl, "System, you see, this is an uncontrollable situation. Can you not apply the debuff this time?" The System Girl did not speak, but made a sound like a cat's fur standing on end. Then, a large roulette wheel similar to a lottery appeared in the lower left corner of her view.

The above are all debuffs.

Emmmmm, Su Qi is finally experiencing what it means to be caught in a dilemma.

However, I didn't experience this feeling for long.

Su Qi then saw her mother and Sister Bai Miao slip through the curtain and into the changing room.

Looking at her locked curtain, Su Qi felt she should complain about the business. Couldn't they at least put a lock on the door?

Three minutes later, Su Qi heard the System Girl's sullen, loli-like voice say, "Hmph, because you secretly wore clothes that were not from this system, you received a debuff that makes Yielding to Adversity."
