Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 121

Chapter 121

At the Xidun Grand Hotel—

Xu Hao arrived at the entrance by car.

Since his obedient daughter, Xu Fangfei, hadn’t messaged him, he didn’t get out.

He leaned against the car window, resting his head on his hand, and for once, he took a moment to enjoy the night sky.

Meanwhile, Li Xiao wandered the streets, lost in thought.

His eyes were bloodshot, deep dark circles shadowed his face, and exhaustion weighed heavily on him.

In just a few days, he had tasted the cruelty of this world.

When he first arrived in this world, he believed he had an advantage—he knew everyone’s fate.

That knowledge made him feel superior, like he was above it all.

But that sense of superiority had long since vanished.

He had traveled through worlds and even awakened a cheat ability.

He was supposed to be the chosen one, the main protagonist.

Yet…

Where was his so-called destiny?

All he felt was the overwhelming malice of this world.

Xu Hao had intercepted the landlady heroine before he could even act.

His sister was threatened.

To protect her, he had no choice but to hand over the woman he loved, watching helplessly as Xu Hao led her into the hotel.

His plan had been simple: once Xu Hao let his guard down after dealing with his sister, he would use that window to grow stronger.

With his cheat ability and knowledge of the plot, his strength would skyrocket.

Then, when the time was right, he would deal with Xu Hao once and for all.

But Xu Hao didn’t even give him the chance.

Who would have thought that a billionaire CEO would be so shameless, breaking their agreement without hesitation?

Not only did he refuse to fire Li Xiao’s sister, but he also set him up, deepening the conflict within his family.

His sister ended up running away from home.

After she left last night, Li Xiao endured an entire evening of scolding from his parents.

The next day, they insisted on taking him to the hospital, convinced he had a mental illness.

Li Xiao was speechless. And heartbroken.

Their family had once been so happy.

But Xu Hao had turned them all against each other.

Now, his own parents wouldn’t even believe him.

They genuinely thought he was insane.

Left with no choice, he went along with their demand for a medical check-up.

As expected, the results confirmed he was perfectly sane.

That only made his parents angrier.

“So you’re fine, yet you still slander Xu Hao?”

“You even went to his place to threaten him?”

“He’s our family’s greatest benefactor!”

Fueled by their rage, they ganged up on him, giving him a solid beating.

They warned him—if he dared to say another bad word about Xu Hao, they would disown him.

Then they ordered him to apologize.

Li Xiao refused outright.

Apologize to Xu Hao?

What a joke!

Why should he?

He did nothing wrong—he was the one being framed!

If anything, Xu Hao should be the one apologizing to him.

No… even if Xu Hao did apologize, he would never forgive him.

How dare he set his sights on his sister?

That night—

When he didn’t see his sister, anxiety crept in.

Was Xu Hao forcing her to move out just to make his move?

He voiced his concerns to his parents, but they remained unbothered.

They had met their daughter’s best friend before.

She was even a bit prettier than their daughter.

The two had a good relationship, so they were at ease.

But Li Xiao couldn’t shake the unease in his gut.

He decided to visit this so-called best friend’s apartment.

When he saw Xia Qingge, his eyes nearly popped out of his head.

She was stunning.

His parents were right—she was slightly more beautiful than his sister.

But not by much.

He asked about his sister’s whereabouts.

The moment Xia Qingge heard he was Li Yunshu’s brother, her expression darkened.

Her attitude turned ice-cold as she spat out one word—

“Get lost.”

Li Xiao was stunned.

Wasn’t she his sister’s best friend?

Why was she treating him like an enemy?

It was their first time meeting!

What he didn’t know was that Xia Qingge was already being merciful by not outright insulting him.

Anyone who dared to threaten Uncle Xu was on a path to destruction.

There was no way she would help him.

Still dumbfounded, Li Xiao tried to ask why.

But—

BAM!

The door slammed in his face.

Unwilling to give up, he knocked again.

The next moment, an icy killing intent locked onto him.

His body tensed.

This person was just as strong as him—at the mid-stage of internal energy cultivation.

He turned around.

A cold and emotionless woman stood behind him, staring at him with piercing eyes.

Her message was clear:

If he dared to disturb the woman inside again—

She would take him down immediately.

Since they were at the same cultivation level, Li Xiao didn’t fear the bodyguard.

But fighting was unnecessary.

With a gloomy expression, he turned and left.

As he walked the streets alone, a question nagged at him.

Who exactly was his sister’s best friend?

Why did she have a bodyguard?

She was renting an apartment, so she didn’t seem like a rich heiress.

Yet something about that bodyguard felt familiar.

Li Xiao’s eyes narrowed.

He finally remembered.

The bodyguard’s presence was similar to the one he had seen beside Su Wanqiu.

And who was Su Wanqiu?

Xu Hao’s legitimate wife.

It made sense for her to have such protection.

But what about his sister’s best friend?

Li Xiao’s thoughts came to an abrupt stop.

An unsettling idea took shape in his mind.

Damn it…

Could she be…

Xu Hao’s woman?

Xu Hao’s influence was immense.

If he could assign a late-stage Internal Energy master to protect his wife, he wouldn’t hesitate to place a mid-stage bodyguard around his other women.

The more Li Xiao thought about it, the more convinced he became.

How else could he explain the similarity between the two bodyguards?

His mind drifted to that beautiful best friend—

She was slightly more attractive than his sister.

She wasn’t much older either.

She was in the prime of her youth, yet she had fallen into the hands of that old fox, Xu Hao.

And then there was himself… what a bitter fate.

He had seen Xu Hao take the landlady to a hotel.

He had watched him make a move on his own sister.

It wasn’t surprising that Xu Hao would go after younger women.

Wait—

A more alarming thought hit him.

If that best friend was Xu Hao’s woman…

Didn’t that mean his sister was in danger living with her?

Thinking that Xu Hao would keep his hands off just because the two women were living together was laughable.

Li Xiao wasn’t that naïve anymore.

Xu Hao had already made his wife and her best friend serve him together.

What was stopping him from pulling the same trick again?

His sister was in danger!

Li Xiao’s face darkened.

He had to act fast.

Before Xu Hao made a move, he had to convince his sister to move back home.

She needed to stay as far away from that best friend as possible.

But in the vast city of Modu, where could he even start looking for her?

Back at Xia Qingge’s apartment, he had glanced inside.

His sister wasn’t there—she must have gone out.

But where?

His unease grew stronger by the second.

His mood plummeted.

He even considered picking a fight with Xia Qingge’s bodyguard, forcing her to reveal his sister’s whereabouts.

Just as he was about to make a decision—

“Hm?”

Li Xiao stopped in his tracks.

His gaze locked onto a familiar car ahead.

Xu Hao’s car.

After seeing it multiple times when Xu Hao picked up his sister-in-law, he had memorized it.

He scanned the surroundings.

Right next to the Xidun Grand Hotel.

What was Xu Hao doing here?

Rage surged within him.

Xu Hao had framed and humiliated him these past few days.

Now, seeing him in person, all his suppressed emotions exploded at once.

But then—

A gaze fell on him.

Cold water doused his fury.

He was forced to retract his killing intent.

That gaze belonged to Xu Hao’s personal bodyguard.

A master at the Dark Energy level.

The overwhelming power difference crushed him.

If only he had more time to grow stronger…

Maybe not even that long.

One year.

In one year, he could break through to Dark Energy.

Then he wouldn’t have to endure this humiliation any longer.

Ding… Li Xiao is burning with rage. Emotion value +654…

Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

He followed the source of that killing intent and spotted Li Xiao’s exhausted, twisted expression.

What a coincidence.

Running into him here.

Was this part of some small heroine’s storyline?

The protagonist was supposed to protect Li Yunshu.

If this were just some minor villain, he would fail.

But facing Xu Hao?

Did he really think he could protect her?

Since they had crossed paths, it would be a waste not to exploit the situation.

Casually, as if summoning a servant, Xu Hao gestured for Li Xiao to come over.

Li Xiao’s face twitched.

This bastard had already flipped his world upside down, and now he was treating him like a lackey?

Did Xu Hao really think he was that untouchable?

Fine.

Li Xiao had a lot to say anyway.

Holding back his fury, he approached Xu Hao and demanded—

“Why are you doing this?”

Xu Hao tilted his head. “Doing what?”

Li Xiao clenched his teeth and took a deep breath.

“You promised that if I covered for you and my sister-in-law, you’d fire my sister, didn’t you?”

“Now you’re going back on your word? Have you forgotten the oath you made? Where’s your integrity?”

Xu Hao responded with an innocent look.

“How am I going back on my word? The deadline hasn’t arrived yet, has it? My deal with your sister-in-law isn’t finished—we still have two more times to go. You expect me to act prematurely?”

Li Xiao’s twisted expression froze.

That was technically true.

Since their agreement hadn’t been completed, Xu Hao had no reason to fire his sister yet.

Wait a second.

How did he get led into this conversation?

Did Xu Hao look like someone who was planning to fire his sister?

He had already tricked her into moving out—he was clearly setting up a double conquest.

How could he have believed a single word?

“You know exactly what you’re doing,” Li Xiao pressed.

“Then tell me, why did you tell my sister that I threatened you? Were you trying to drive a wedge between me and my family?”

Xu Hao kept his calm demeanor.

“She asked, so I just stated the facts.”

“Just answer me—did I threaten you or not? Didn’t I just tell you to stay away from my sister?”

Xu Hao smirked and played along. He even sighed, putting on a helpless act.

Li Xiao clenched his teeth so hard they almost cracked.

“Then explain that handshake. We never shook hands, and I certainly never ambushed you.”

“You were the one threatening me, making demands, yet now you’re pretending to be the victim.”

Xu Hao let out an “Oh?” and squinted, as if deep in thought.

“Did I say that? Huh… I don’t remember. Maybe I misspoke.”

Li Xiao felt an overwhelming urge to kill him.

This bastard.

Even a fool could see he was deliberately sowing discord.

And now he was playing dumb?

How could someone be this shameless?

Ding… Li Xiao is fuming with rage. Emotion value +966…

“Fine, fine. Let’s just say you misspoke.”

Li Xiao let out a cold laugh.

“My sister moving out—was that your idea? And don’t pretend you don’t know her best friend is your woman. I know exactly what you’re planning.”

“You’ve misunderstood me. I was just as surprised as you when your sister moved in with Qingge.”

Xu Hao refused to take the blame.

He had only found out later that Li Yunshu was living with Xia Qingge.

But it was a pleasant surprise.

At least the two best friends were already living together, which saved him the trouble of arranging it himself.

Li Xiao’s face darkened.

Xu Hao’s words confirmed his worst fear—his sister’s best friend really was his woman.

He forced himself to stay calm, but his chest ached from the sheer frustration.

Just as he was about to ask another question, Xu Hao raised a hand to stop him.

A notification sound chimed from Xu Hao’s phone.

He glanced at the screen.

It was a message from his beloved daughter, Xu Fangfei.

Only two letters—

“OK.”

Xu Hao chuckled.

Bai Ling opened the car door for him.

As he stepped out, he noticed Li Xiao glaring at him with pure hatred.

Xu Hao patted his shoulder and said casually,

“You did a good job covering for me. Keep it up. My sister-in-law and I still have two more meetings left—I’m counting on you.”

Li Xiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Did he just hear that right?

He seriously expected him to keep doing this?

Could he be any more shameless?

“You never planned to let my sister go, did you? You tricked me into covering for you and my sister-in-law multiple times. Do you really take me for an idiot?”

Li Xiao’s anger exploded.

Xu Hao had made it clear he wasn’t someone who played fair.

And now he wanted him to keep covering for him?

Had he lost his mind?

“You’re absolutely right. I was just playing you for a fool,” Xu Hao said, his gentlemanly facade fading into a mocking grin.

“You—!”

Li Xiao’s rage surged.

Killing intent flared from his body, but Bai Ling quickly suppressed it.

His enemy was standing right in front of him, yet he was powerless to do anything.

He felt like he was going to explode.

“I was just messing with you earlier,” Xu Hao continued nonchalantly.

“But you guessed right. Your sister is so innocent and kind—how could I possibly let her go?”

“You don’t want to work for me? That’s fine. As long as you don’t mind something happening to your sister or your parents…”

He delivered the threat with a relaxed, almost casual tone.

But it hit Li Xiao like a bolt of lightning.

The moment he had dreaded had arrived.

Xu Hao was too powerful.

The fact that he assigned bodyguards to every one of his women showed his level of influence.

If he wanted to harm Li Xiao’s family, it would be effortless.

They were just ordinary people.

They wouldn’t stand a chance.

“The fate of your family is in your hands,” Xu Hao said with a smirk.

“Choose wisely.”

Then he patted Li Xiao’s shoulder again and walked into the hotel.

Li Xiao stood frozen in place.

No way out.

No other choice.

He had transmigrated into this world.

Technically, this family wasn’t his real family.

Their lives shouldn’t concern him.

But he couldn’t ignore it.

Maybe it was his predecessor’s lingering emotions.

Or maybe, deep down, he just couldn’t turn his back on them.

He had to protect them.

Meanwhile, the hotel’s receptionist respectfully greeted Xu Hao and led him inside.

After checking his reservation, she guided him toward a private room.

But before they got far, a middle-aged man in a sharp suit with an imposing presence stepped in front of them.

“You can go,” he told the receptionist.

“I will personally escort this esteemed guest.”

“Y-yes, Manager Xiao!”

The receptionist nodded hurriedly and returned to her post.

But before leaving, she sneaked a glance at Xu Hao.

This charming older man clearly had an extraordinary aura.

She hadn’t expected him to be such an important figure—important enough for the hotel’s lobby manager to personally attend to him.

After sending the receptionist away, the middle-aged manager gave Xu Hao a flattering smile.

“Mr. Xu, please, this way.”

When Xu Hao made his reservation, Manager Xiao had already taken notice.

He had been waiting for the chance to welcome him personally.

As the manager escorted Xu Hao upstairs, they “just so happened” to run into Xu Fangfei.

Seeing her father, she immediately looked guilty.

Xu Hao, playing the role perfectly, questioned her “as any concerned father would.”

And so, Xu Fangfei led him into a private room where a group of students was gathered…
