Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 117

Chapter 117

“Li Xiao?”

Li Yunshu immediately pictured her incompetent younger brother.

She recalled how he constantly slandered Xu Hao, always assuming Xu Hao had ulterior motives for being kind to them.

It was like he had a paranoia complex, convinced someone was always out to get him.

So, when she heard that he had done this, she wasn’t surprised at all.

She believed Xu Hao’s words without hesitation.

Anger flared in her heart.

What Li Xiao did or said wasn’t her concern, but what right did he have to interfere in her life?

He wanted Xu Hao to stay away from her, even trying to get her fired?

Did he have any idea how good Xu Hao had been to her?

Xu Group was a Fortune 500 company.

Countless graduates from top universities fought tooth and nail just to get a job there.

And yet, she had been lucky enough not only to join the company but also to be personally valued by Xu Hao.

So many people envied her position.

But Li Xiao wanted to kick her out?

Li Yunshu was about to explode with rage.

If Li Xiao were standing in front of her, she might have burned him to ashes with her glare alone.

When she heard Xu Hao mention being threatened, she gasped and quickly asked, “What? Uncle Xu, he actually dared to threaten you?”

“Yeah.”

Xu Hao let out a bitter laugh.

“I didn’t expect someone so young to have such strength. My hand still hurts from shaking his…”

That was pure fabrication.

Since Li Yunshu already believed him, there was no need for the truth.

He could make up whatever he wanted.

Li Yunshu didn’t doubt him for a second.

She had seen her brother fight off a group of thugs before, easily taking them down.

He was naturally strong.

Now, knowing that Xu Hao had been threatened because of her, guilt surged in her heart.

“Uncle Xu, are you okay? I’m so sorry, this is all my fault…”

Her tears were about to fall again.

“It’s nothing.”

Xu Hao flashed a reassuring smile and reached out to wipe her tears.

“Don’t blame yourself. It’s no big deal.”

But the more he reassured her, the more guilty she felt.

Thinking about what Li Xiao had done, then seeing how Xu Hao still spoke up for him, telling her not to blame him, her frustration only grew stronger.

[Ding… Li Yunshu feels guilty. Emotional value +890…]

After expressing her concern, she finally left the office, glancing back at every step.

Xu Hao watched her retreating figure, rubbing his chin thoughtfully.

Then, he suddenly chuckled.

“This is going to be interesting.”

Riiing… Riiing… Riiing…

Just as Xu Hao was about to return to his desk and continue reviewing documents, his phone rang.

He picked it up and saw that it was Su Wanqiu, the protagonist’s stunning stepmother.

He answered the call.

On the other end, Su Wanqiu’s voice was trembling with excitement.

“Hao… I… I’m pregnant!”

Xu Hao froze for a moment.

Then, as the realization hit, a wave of excitement washed over him.

In two lifetimes, this was his first child in the truest sense.

His voice turned serious.

“Where are you? I’m coming right now.”

“First Hospital.”

Thirty minutes earlier—

Suspecting she might be pregnant, Su Wanqiu had rushed to the hospital.

After completing the tests, she anxiously waited for the results.

Finally, the doctor called her in.

The pregnancy was confirmed.

Overjoyed, Su Wanqiu nearly burst into tears.

The moment her emotions settled, she couldn’t wait to call Xu Hao.

And he did not disappoint her.

The moment he heard the news, he immediately said he would come over.

That was enough to prove how much this child meant to him.

Not long after—

Xu Hao arrived at the hospital by car.

The moment she saw him, Su Wanqiu wanted to rush into his arms.

She was overwhelmed with excitement and desperately needed a warm embrace.

But Xu Hao stopped her.

“Careful, the baby…”

“Mmm.”

Su Wanqiu suppressed her excitement and responded softly.

She gently cradled her stomach, a radiant motherly glow appearing on her face.

Xu Hao took the test report from her hands.

Pregnancy Confirmed Without a Doubt

“Let’s go home.”

Xu Hao wrapped his arm around Su Wanqiu’s waist, ready to leave.

“I was planning to go to the beauty salon,” she reminded him.

Xu Hao dismissed the idea immediately.

“Work and everything else can wait. Your priority now is to take care of your body and ensure the baby is born safely.”

[Ding… Su Wanqiu is filled with happiness. Emotional value +678…]

[Ding… Su Wanqiu is in a joyful mood. Emotional value +876…]

[Ding…]

Watching the continuous increase in emotional values, Xu Hao fell into deep thought.

There were many ways to accumulate these values.

Apparently, getting these women pregnant was a highly effective one.

Images of several women flashed through his mind—

His teacher, Wang Xueying.

The campus belle, Xia Qingge.

The wealthy businesswoman, Xiao Wanling.

The delicate beauty, Li Yunshu.

The cold and aloof CEO, Lin Chuqing.

His stunning sister-in-law, Yao Xinrui.

And even his seven breathtaking daughters... Ahem.

When they arrived home, Xu Shiqing and Xu Huayi, his twin daughters who had skipped school that day, ran up to greet them.

“Dad? Mom Su? Didn’t you just leave? Why are you back so soon?”

“Did you forget something? You could’ve just asked us to bring it over!”

Xu Hao chuckled.

“Your Mom Su is pregnant. She’ll be staying home to rest and won’t be going to work for now.”

“Huh?”

The twins froze for a moment before their faces lit up with excitement.

Their eyes locked onto Su Wanqiu’s stomach.

“Mom Su is having a baby? When did this happen?”

“How far along are you?”

“Is it a boy or a girl?”

The two of them fired off questions nonstop.

Su Wanqiu smiled, gently patting their heads.

“It’s still early. I just got the confirmation today, so we don’t know yet.”

“It has to be a little sister! She’ll definitely be as beautiful as Mom Su in the future!” Xu Huayi declared confidently.

Xu Shiqing shot her a sideways glance.

“They can’t even tell the gender yet. How do you know it’s not a little brother? Are you saying Dad isn’t handsome?”

“Of course not!”

Xu Huayi giggled.

“Dad is super handsome! But if it’s a little sister, she won’t steal too much of Dad’s love from us.”

Xu Shiqing fell into deep thought.

If it was a boy, Dad would likely pour all his love into the newborn.

If it was a girl, she would still take some of his attention but not as much.

Huayi had a point.

Before long, thanks to Xu Huayi’s enthusiasm in spreading the news, their other sisters, Xu Hongzhuang and Xu Feiyan, also found out about Su Wanqiu’s pregnancy and rushed over to congratulate her.

“Mom Su, you need to take care of yourself. If you need anything, just ask us!”

“And don’t cook anymore. The kitchen gets smoky, and that’s bad for you. Just tell us what you want to eat!”

Xu Hongzhuang carefully placed a hand on Su Wanqiu’s belly as she spoke.

Feeling the warmth of her daughters’ concern, Su Wanqiu smiled.

“I’m not as delicate as you all make me out to be.”

“Mom Su, trust us. The baby comes first!”

“I’ll find some prenatal care books for you later!” Xu Huayi chimed in. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Xu Shiqing added excitedly, “I heard that music is good for babies in the womb. Since Third Sister is a big celebrity now, she should play piano and sing for Mom Su regularly!”

“Other people listen to music on their phones and worry about radiation affecting the baby. But we have a superstar at home to sing in person!”

Hearing her younger sister’s wild imagination, Xu Hongzhuang couldn’t help but laugh.

She was now a famous singer.

If she held a concert, she could easily rake in tens of millions.

And yet, they wanted her to personally perform lullabies for prenatal education?

It was ridiculous.

But… since it was for Mom Su and Dad’s baby, she didn’t mind.

“Hehe…” Xu Huayi giggled.

“Speaking of singing, have you all forgotten? We’ve never heard Dad sing before.”

“But his piano skills are way better than Third Sister’s. He should play for Mom Su instead! That way, we all get to enjoy it too.”

The girls suddenly remembered Xu Hao’s performance at the concert hall.

Every song he played had been an instant masterpiece.

While the others showered Su Wanqiu with care and attention, Xu Feiyan stood quietly on the side, unable to find an opening to speak.

She still didn’t feel a strong sense of belonging in this family.

That was mostly because of Xu Hao, not Su Wanqiu.

She actually respected this beautiful stepmother, who had always been kind to them.

But what could she do to help?

Bringing tea and water? The younger sisters had already offered.

Cooking? Third Sister had volunteered for that.

She couldn’t even cook.

After a brief hesitation, she finally spoke up.

“Since you all will be taking care of Mom Su, I’ll take responsibility for the baby. Once she’s born, I’ll train her in martial arts.”

“I’ll make her a legendary fighter, leading thousands of subordinates. If anyone dares challenge her, she’ll crush them!”

The sisters were already used to Xu Feiyan’s dramatic outbursts and ignored her completely.

Xu Huayi scoffed.

“Fifth Sister, how about mastering what Dad already taught you first before making big promises?”

Xu Feiyan’s breath caught in her throat.

She glared angrily at her younger sister for exposing her shortcomings.

Over the past few days, Xu Hao had taught her a great deal—combat techniques in all aspects. Even with her enhanced memory after taking the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she hadn’t fully mastered everything.

She had been training desperately under Xu Hao’s guidance, and the results were astonishing. Her strength had improved by several levels.

In her current state, she could easily defeat ten of her past selves at the same level.

But the more she trained with Xu Hao, the more she realized how much of a fool she had been before.

She recalled the times when Xu Hao had caught her off guard, used unexpected tactics, and interfered with her rhythm to win their sparring matches.

Back then, he had actually gone easy on her, making sure she didn’t lose too miserably.

Yet, she had been too proud to recognize it. She foolishly believed that Xu Hao had only won by sheer luck.

Again and again, she had challenged him, refusing to accept defeat.

Every time she thought of those embarrassing moments, she wished she could dig a hole, jump in, and bury herself.

Su Wanqiu watched her daughters bickering with amusement.

How nice it was to have the family together like this.

If only the other three daughters could come home as well.

It probably wouldn’t be long before they did.

She thought back to how each of them used to be indifferent toward Xu Hao.

Yet, in the end, they all fell in line, didn’t they?

Now, even her fifth daughter seemed to be following the same path.

That afternoon—

“Yunshu, don’t overthink it. Didn’t Uncle Xu say he would respect your wishes?”

“As long as you don’t leave, he won’t fire you.”

Xia Qingge had come to visit her new friend, noticing how absent-minded she seemed.

When she asked what was wrong, Li Yunshu couldn’t keep her thoughts to herself and ended up recounting what had happened in the CEO’s office that morning.

Xia Qingge reassured her repeatedly.

Li Yunshu let out a bitter laugh.

“I know Uncle Xu won’t fire me. That’s not what’s bothering me. I just feel guilty for the trouble my… that guy—Li Xiao—caused him.”

Just thinking about her younger brother made her furious.

She didn’t even bother calling him her brother anymore and just used his name.

At the mention of Li Xiao, Xia Qingge’s anger flared up as well.

“Yunshu, you really need to go home and set that brother of yours straight.”

“Does he have paranoia or something? He sees everyone as a threat and actually thinks Uncle Xu has bad intentions toward you?”

“Do you even know who Uncle Xu is? A billionaire managing tens of thousands of employees.”

“He has a dignified and stunning wife, and your idiot brother thinks he would go after you? Seriously?”

“Ridiculous. If that were the case, wouldn’t he have done the same to me? Am I not just as attractive as you?”

Xia Qingge scoffed, dripping with disdain.

Though, deep inside, she had to patch up her own logic.

Ridiculous… yeah, right…

Good thing Li Yunshu didn’t know what had happened between her and Uncle Xu. Otherwise, she would definitely start asking questions.

Li Yunshu nodded in agreement.

She also thought her useless brother was completely delusional.

Xia Qingge continued, “You said your brother is unemployed? He’s probably been hanging around those street punks too much and picked up their bad habits.”

“And he actually dared to threaten Uncle Xu? Even used a handshake as an excuse to hurt him? Does he even realize he committed a crime?”

“Uncle Xu must have let it slide for your sake. Otherwise, one phone call, and your brother would be in jail right now.”

While stirring up resentment between Li Xiao and his sister, Xia Qingge made sure to slip in a few good words about Xu Hao.

She wasn’t even pretending—she was genuinely furious.

That idiot Li Xiao had dared to threaten Uncle Xu.

She wanted nothing more than to report him to the police and have him arrested.

Li Yunshu felt even more guilty.

She knew how highly Xia Qingge regarded Uncle Xu.

Her friend constantly praised him.

So hearing that someone had tried to hurt him, how could she not be angry?

“Qingge… I’m sorry.”

Xia Qingge patted her shoulder with a laugh.

“Haha, I’m not mad at you. And I doubt Uncle Xu is either. He’s only disappointed in your brother.”

The more guilty Li Yunshu felt, the more she resented Li Xiao.

After Work—

Li Yunshu returned home.

As soon as she got back, she started packing up her bedroom.

She stuffed everything into a suitcase, zipped it shut, and prepared to leave.

She had no intention of staying under the same roof as Li Xiao any longer…

If she did, she might lose control and curse him out.

She wasn’t afraid of him—she just didn’t want to make their parents worry.

Moving out would give her some much-needed peace and quiet.

Just as she was about to step out, her parents arrived home from work.

On the way back, they had been beaming with pride, hearing neighbors praise their daughter for landing a job at a Fortune 500 company—specifically, Xu Hao’s company.

People kept saying how outstanding she was.

Their smiles hadn’t faded the entire trip.

But the moment they walked in and saw Li Yunshu standing there with a packed suitcase, looking like she was about to leave for good…

Their smiles froze.

“Yunshu, where are you going?”

“I want to move out for a few days…”

“What? Weren’t things fine before? Why the sudden decision to live outside? You’re just a young girl—it’s dangerous to be out on your own!”

“If you want to know why, go ask your precious son.”

Li Yunshu spoke through gritted teeth, still fuming.

Li Father and Li Mother’s hearts sank.

Their daughter looked completely serious—she was really planning to leave.

Just what kind of trouble had that useless son of theirs caused this time?

To make their well-behaved daughter this angry…

In their eyes, Yunshu had always been the sensible, obedient child.

If something like this happened, it could only mean their good-for-nothing son was at fault.

Just as they were trying to persuade Li Yunshu to stay, Li Xiao stumbled into the house in a daze.

The moment Li Father saw him, he stormed over and slapped him on the spot.

“What the hell did you do?! Your sister is so angry she wants to move out!”

Li Xiao was stunned.

Who am I?

Where am I?

What did I even do?!

A triple dose of confusion hit him as he looked up, completely bewildered.

He hadn’t done anything… or at least, he didn’t think he had.
