Rebirth at the Start: This Fate is Too Explosive!

Chapter 31 Nighttime Suit Shopping

"Oh dear! My wife! We agreed not to put pressure on the child..." Ye Linzhang quickly put down his chopsticks to comfort his wife and winked at Ye Fan.

Ye Fan understood, quickly put down his chopsticks, and chuckled.

He tiptoed behind his mother.

He placed his hands on her shoulders and began to massage them, saying, "Oh my goodness! I haven't finished speaking yet, why are you in such a hurry? Don't be angry! Let me explain in detail."

"Stop with that nonsense, just tell me! I'm listening." Gu Ruoning slapped Ye Fan's hand away in annoyance.

Ye Fan cleared his throat and struck a pose like a storyteller: "Let me tell you the story in detail—"

He counted on his fingers and said, "I went to set up a stall with Lao Zhao in the morning, and then cooked at home at noon. I made a big pot of rice and invited two classmates over to eat. They are two academic superstars you know, Pei Yi'an and Tang Yanning."

Seeing his mother's brow relax slightly, he pressed his advantage: "We went to the city library to study this afternoon, and we just got back."

"That's right! I told you our son knows how to behave properly." Ye Linzhang slapped his thigh and immediately agreed.

"Shut up!" Gu Ruoning glared at Old Ye, but a hint of a smile had already crept into the corners of her eyes.

She turned to Ye Fan and tapped his forehead: "That's more like it. It's not that I want to criticize you, it's just that your nonchalant attitude just now was so annoying..."

"I know, I know! My dear mother!" Ye Fan said with a grin.

Ye Fan suddenly remembered that he needed to buy a suit later, and he grinned as he moved closer to Gu Ruoning, saying, "By the way, Mom, we're taking graduation photos tomorrow, and I'm planning to wear a suit."

He rubbed his hands together and made a fawning gesture: "Look... how about sponsoring some, hehe!"

Gu Ruoning rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "It's just taking a graduation photo, wearing the school uniform is perfectly fine, isn't it?"

As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously drifted to the other side of the table: "So flashy, just like your dad back in the day."

"???"

Ye Linzhang, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire, looked up with an innocent expression.

After saying that, she took out a thousand yuan from her bag and handed it to him: "Here, is a thousand yuan enough?"

"That's enough, hehe!"

"My dearest mom, oh my god!"

"I've finished eating, I'm going to find Old Zhao."

Ye Fan took the money, kissed his mother on the cheek, and happily walked out of the house with the money.

"This child..." Gu Ruoning shook her head as she watched her son's retreating figure.

She turned her head and saw her husband still leisurely picking out fish bones. Suddenly, she reached out and poked his forehead: "Look at your son, just like you were when you were young, running away with the money faster than a rabbit!"

Ye Linzhang's chopsticks trembled from being poked, and the fish almost fell onto the table. He said helplessly, "How can you blame me for this!"

-----------------

Ye Fan hummed a little tune as he skillfully pushed open the gate to Zhao Mingzhe's courtyard.

The aroma of food wafted from the house. He sniffed and sauntered into the dining room.

They are eating.

"Uncle Zhao, Aunt Shen, they're eating." He chuckled and leaned halfway in, his eyes already glancing at the table.

Shen Qingtang looked up and saw that it was Ye Fan who had come. She immediately greeted him, "Oh, Xiao Fan is here! Come sit down and eat! Aunt Shen will get you some rice."

She quickly put down her chopsticks and got up to get a bowl and chopsticks.

Zhao Mingzhe, who was engrossed in eating, suddenly looked up and mumbled with food still in his mouth, "Mom, don't worry about him. He's full. If that kid is really hungry, he'll run off to get his own bowl and chopsticks without you even having to say anything."

"Damn it!" Ye Fan laughed and cursed.

"I know you understand me, but don't be so direct, okay?" Old Zhao's words were anything but tactful.

Ye Fan turned to Shen Qingtang and smiled, "Aunt Shen, Mingzhe is right. I just ate at home. Otherwise, I would have sat down and eaten."

"Xiao Fan, come on, want to have a couple of drinks with your uncle?" Zhao Donglai said with a smile.

Shen Qingtang glared at her husband and said, "If you want to drink, go drink with Lao Ye. The child has to go to school tomorrow. Why are you making such a mess?"

Zhao Donglai smiled brightly and muttered under his breath, "It's just a cup..."

Ye Fan smiled slightly: "Uncle Zhao, I'll have a drink with you another day."

Then he said to Shen Qingtang beside him, "Aunt Shen, I'm going to buy a suit with Mingzhe later."

Shen Qingtang chimed in, "I know, he told me when he came back."

As she spoke, she placed a piece of pork rib into her son's bowl: "Mingzhe, eat quickly, don't keep Xiaofan waiting."

Ye Fan gestured with his chin towards Zhao Mingzhe: "Old Zhao, take your time eating. I'll wait for you in the living room."

After saying that, she hummed a little tune and strolled towards the living room.

........

A few minutes later.

Zhao Mingzhe wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, then pushed open the glass door of the restaurant and walked out.

"Old Ye, which way do we get?" Zhao Mingzhe took out his phone and checked the time. "At this hour, we'd probably have to wait for a taxi. How about we take an electric scooter?"

Ye Fan slapped his thigh and stood up: "Let's ride an electric bike! The roads will definitely be congested at this time of day, a small electric scooter is much more convenient."

"Ook."

"Then I'll grab the car keys and ride my mom's electric scooter!"

As he spoke, he reached for the key in the drawer.

As the two stepped out the door, the sweltering heat of the summer night immediately enveloped them.

Although it was nearly 8 p.m., the heat absorbed by the ground during the day was still evaporating.

Shen Qingtang's electric scooter was found in the yard.

Zhao Mingzhe straddled the seat, but the leather cushion was no longer warm. If he had sat on it in the midday sun, his testicles would have been roasted.

The electric scooter carried the two people into the night, and the streetlights on both sides of the street cast long shadows of them.

Their destination was the renowned commercial city of Nanzhou.

The two of them were on their way to the trade city to make a purchase.

As the largest clothing wholesale center in the city, the commercial city brings together hundreds of shops.

From trendy seasonal T-shirts to designer-style bags, from sneakers to bespoke suits, they have it all.

of course.

What's most appealing is that the prices here are much cheaper than in shopping malls, and you can even bargain.

Prices here are often only one-third of those in shopping malls.

of course.

They also have custom-made clothing here; they can tailor-make clothes that fit you perfectly.

Overall, they are all relatively inexpensive.

Gu Ruoning and Shen Qingtang would often come to the trade city to buy clothes.

When Ye Fan and Zhao Mingzhe were little, they would often take them to the shopping mall.

At that time, two little boys followed behind, watching their mothers skillfully move between shops, their voices echoing as they bargained with the shopkeepers.

The noisy environment of the commercial city, the smell of new fabrics, and the candies handed to them by shop owners all became vivid fragments of their childhood memories.

After entering junior high school.

Zhao Mingzhe and Ye Fan began to develop their own aesthetic preferences.

So the two of them took money from their families and came to the trade city to make their selections.

Gradually, they naturally got used to going to the trade city to buy clothing.

The reason why Gu Ruoning and Shen Qingtang became frequent visitors to the commercial city was ultimately due to the careful budgeting considerations of an ordinary family.

Ye Fan in his previous life.

After achieving success and fame, he changed his consumption habits.

When his net worth reached hundreds of millions, he would only buy clothes from boutiques in high-end shopping malls.
