Chapter 79 The Repressive Family of Origin

Han Xinwan changed the subject and said with a smile again:

"And what about your youngest son? Didn't you say he's in high school? How are his studies? Which university does he plan to apply to?"

Upon mentioning his youngest son, the stall owner seemed to shake off his previous gloom, his face immediately lighting up with a beaming smile as he excitedly exclaimed:

"My youngest son is doing quite well."

He studied sports, specifically sprinting, and frequently represented his school in various competitions.

His coaches all said that he was very talented in this area and was born to run sprints.

I've been training since junior high, for four years now, and I've won so many championships!

I've saved all the medals and prize money for him; it's worth tens of thousands now, let me tell you.

It's a pity that some of it had to be handed over, otherwise there would be even more saved up...

But that's already pretty good. At such a young age, he's already earning money for his family. What other child can do that?

Seeing the stall owner talking non-stop, Han Xinwan smiled and said:

"It seems you are very satisfied with your youngest son, Auntie."

"I'm already very content..."

The stall owner didn't deny it; his face was full of pride and affection when he talked about his youngest son.

"And my youngest son is an athlete, so he's in great physical condition. He's tall, strong, and handsome!"

The girl was honest; a lot of girls at her school were pursuing her. But I told her that she couldn't talk to any girls without her mother's permission, and that she shouldn't ruin her future.

But you...

The stall owner paused, looked Han Xinwan up and down, his eyes shining, and his smile became even brighter.

"Seriously, beautiful lady, you're a great catch. You're pretty and have a lovely voice. You must have a lot of suitors, right?"

My youngest son, despite his young age, as I mentioned before, is an athlete. He has a great physique and height, is cheerful and lively, and is also very filial.

These days, it's all the rage for girls to find a younger brother, isn't it? Auntie doesn't mean anything by it, but if you're interested, I can have my son come over next time, and you can meet him. Maybe you'll think he's suitable...

Oh, right, I almost forgot, I have some videos of his matches here, let me show them to you..."

As they talked, the stall owner, who was getting more and more engrossed in the conversation, was about to show Han Xinwan his phone.

However, Han Xinwan immediately raised her hand, politely declining:

"Auntie, have you forgotten? I came to buy thermal underwear, and I already have someone in mind."

This pointed remark left the stall owner speechless for two seconds. After two seconds, the stall owner seemed to realize what was happening, and all the awkwardness instantly turned into laughter. He quickly put away his phone and said:

"Yes, yes, I forgot. Come on, beautiful lady, what do you think of this outfit? I told you, next year is his birth year, you should buy this outfit for him, it's definitely the right choice."

"Is that so..."

Han Xinwan pretended to look at the clothes, but actually observed the other person with her eyes, secretly thinking to herself:

"I only asked how my studies were going, and you started rambling on and on about all sorts of other things..."

From the stall owner's drastically different attitudes toward his two sons, she had already found the answer she was looking for.

It must be admitted that Bai Ye's judgment was indeed somewhat prescient. Xu Lun's family of origin had flaws, which could very well have had a certain impact on his personality.

After taking the clothes and paying, Han Xinwan was about to leave when the other party called her back:

"Hey beautiful, I have some leggings here, would you like to take a look? They're all the latest styles, warm and fashionable, you'll definitely like them..."

As she spoke, she reached out to take it and show it to Han Xinwan.

Seeing this, Han Xinwan smiled again and politely declined:

"Next time, Auntie, I'll come again next time."

After she finished speaking, she was about to leave when the other person called her back again:

"Um...would it be convenient to add xx?"

Han Xinwan paused, thought for a moment, and then nodded:

"Alright."

Upon seeing that she agreed, the stall owner's eyes lit up again. Without saying a word, he quickly took out his phone, scanned the QR code, and added Han Xinwan's contact information.

"If you need anything, just send me a message. Send me any styles or pictures you've seen online, and I guarantee I'll get you the same items at a better price, hehe..."

Han Xinwan didn't say anything, just smiled and turned to leave.

After walking a few steps, her face gradually darkened. Just one conversation had given her an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Being around someone like that every day would be exhausting..."

She formed this opinion of Xu Lun's mother in her heart.

Han Xinwan wondered if there was any new information from Bai Ye's side. While pondering this, she wanted to rush back as soon as possible to share the latest intelligence with him.

The commercial street, bathed in the increasingly chilly evening wind, exuded a sense of desolation and loneliness.

...

At the same time.

In 661 universe.

Xu Lun was completely unaware that Han Xinwan had gone to see her mother.

At this moment, he was following the Western Mastiff King, walking through the woods.

Judging from their direction, they should be heading towards the snow-capped mountains.

Along the way, there were signs of destruction everywhere, which were probably caused by the Western Mastiff King.

Every now and then, you can see some smaller animals, similar to pufferfish, poking out their round heads and watching them from a distance.

Judging from their appearance, these animals should be ordinary mackerel.

Throughout the journey, neither the King of the Western Mastiff nor Xu Lun spoke.

He was too lazy to waste words with the pig. He had thanked it for saving him earlier, but the pig was actually quite irritable. If it weren't for his life-saving hand, he would have almost been killed by this thing.

Luca followed Xu Lun quietly, like a German Shepherd.

They walked quietly, the terrain gradually rising, and they entered an uphill slope, seemingly heading towards the snow-capped mountain.

"Kid..."

As they walked, the Western Mastiff King suddenly spoke.

"What did you say your name was again?"

Xu Lun glanced at the other person and said calmly:

"My name is Xu Lun."

This time he didn't bow, partly because the pig-headed creature had been too domineering before. He had been polite to it, but it not only didn't appreciate it, it even attacked him.

Another reason is because of that mysterious and grand voice—

【Snow Mountain Proud Wings】Azure King.

Judging from the name, it must be some kind of bird that cultivated itself to become a powerful ruler.

Judging from the terrified expression on Chief Steward Zhou's face at the end, the pressure he felt from the Green King was clearly much stronger than that from the Western Mastiff King.

In other words, the Western Mastiff King is not the only beast king in this region, nor is it even the strongest; there are formidable opponents above it.

So, since you're not the boss here, I don't need to be polite with you.

It's like someone going out to negotiate a business deal, but instead of dealing with the other party's boss, you're dealing with the boss's employees. What's the point of negotiating then? Would you become close with the other party's henchmen?
