Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 94
Chapter 94
Xu Hao had already booked a room at the hotel.
He took Xiao Wanling straight to the presidential suite.
Everything fell into place naturally.
[Ding… Xiao Wanling is feeling anxious, emotional value +123…]
[Ding… Xiao Wanling’s heart is racing, emotional value +456…]
[Ding… Xiao Wanling is overwhelmed with excitement, emotional value +789…]
Outside Xiao Wanling’s Apartment—
A figure stood motionless for a long time.
After getting off work, Zheng Feifan had been waiting at her door.
He wanted to warn Xiao Wanling again about Xu Hao’s deceitful nature.
But hours passed, and she never returned.
A sinking feeling gripped his heart.
He had been staying at Xiao Wanling’s rental for quite some time and always kept an eye on his beautiful landlady’s whereabouts.
She was disciplined and never stayed out overnight.
Even when she was with her best friend, Xu Hongzhuang, at the Xu family’s home, she always came back at night.
But today…
Why hadn’t she returned?
As he waited in vain, a thought surfaced in his mind.
Could it be that she and Xu Hao…?
His heart clenched, as if something had been ripped away from him.
Outside a Couples’ Hotel—
Li Xiao wanted to storm in and “rescue” Xiao Wanling.
But Bai Ling blocked his way, watching him coldly.
He didn’t dare to act rashly.
Time ticked away.
An hour had already passed.
Li Xiao let out a defeated sigh, swallowed his sorrow, and turned away.
So much time had passed—who knew how many positions had been unlocked?
There was no point in going to Xiao Wanling now…
Besides, that woman outside was guarding the place.
Even if he waited until morning, he wouldn’t be able to step inside the hotel.
Might as well go home and get some rest.
He’d find another opportunity later.
After all, the heroine was the heroine—stunningly beautiful, with a flawless figure and an irresistible aura.
It didn’t matter if she had lost her innocence.
Even if someone had to be the “fallback guy,” there were countless men willing to step up…
At Home—
When Li Xiao returned, his family was still awake, watching TV on the sofa.
Seeing him enter, they ignored him completely, not even greeting him.
They were too disappointed in him.
Li Xiao understood.
His past self had been a complete failure.
Even though the wealthy businessman Chu Xiong had taken a liking to him, he never mentioned it to his family.
It didn’t matter.
Once he earned his first pot of gold and used his knowledge to build a business, his family would see him differently.
Just then, he focused his gaze, his ears twitching slightly.
His mother’s curious voice broke the silence.
“Yunshu, what’s making you so happy? You’ve been smiling nonstop since you got back…”
His father also turned to look at his sister.
Although they had been thrilled when she joined the Xu Corporation, she had never been this overjoyed before.
Since it involved his beautiful and gentle sister, Li Xiao perked up his ears.
Noticing her mother’s keen observation, Li Yunshu froze for a moment.
After thinking it over, she realized it wasn’t anything that needed to be kept secret.
“This morning, on my way to work… a classmate tried to bully me… but our CEO, Xu, showed up and saved me…”
She excitedly recounted the incident.
In the past, she had always endured such things alone, never telling her parents.
She didn’t want to worry them.
But now, things were different.
With Uncle Xu’s warning, Xu Fangfei had already apologized and promised never to trouble her again.
There was no longer any reason to hide it.
Upon hearing that their daughter had been bullied, Li Father and Li Mother’s expressions darkened.
Their faces filled with anger.
That malicious girl had tried to slap their daughter!
Their hearts clenched in fear.
Li Mother immediately sat beside Yunshu, carefully checking her for any injuries.
Only after confirming that she was unharmed did she finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, hearing how Xu Hao had stepped in at the last moment, saved their daughter, forced that girl to apologize, and ensured she would never bully Yunshu again…
Li Father and Li Mother were overwhelmed with gratitude.
“President Xu is really as kind-hearted as they say! Yunshu, you must properly thank him. If he hadn’t shown up in time, I don’t even want to imagine the consequences.”
“That girl was too vicious! Thank goodness for President Xu’s warning—she wouldn’t dare bully you again…”
They praised Xu Hao and condemned Xu Fangfei.
Then, Li Yunshu mentioned something that left them both stunned.
“What? Yunshu, you actually got President Xu’s personal contact info? And he told you to call him if anyone bullies you again? He even said you could call him ‘Uncle Xu’ in private?”
“President Xu is such a good person! Yunshu, he’s so kind to you—make sure you work hard and live up to his expectations.”
“If President Xu says so, then just go with it. Calling him ‘Uncle’ will bring you closer. Maybe one day, invite him over for dinner so we can properly thank him…”
Li Yunshu nodded quietly.
She didn’t need her parents to remind her—she was already determined to work hard and not let Uncle Xu down.
Standing nearby, Li Xiao’s face darkened.
The more he listened, the more wrong it felt.
If he thought about it carefully…
Wasn’t this just a classic “hero saving the beauty” routine?
His sister just so happened to get cornered on her way to work.
And Xu Hao just so happened to appear at the perfect moment to rescue her…
Too coincidental.
If it were anyone else, he wouldn’t have been so suspicious.
But Xu Hao? That man was too fake, too scheming.
Li Xiao had no doubt that Xu Hao had orchestrated the entire thing.
Looking at his grateful parents and his awestruck sister…
He realized Xu Hao’s plan had worked perfectly.
Step one: Rescue the damsel in distress and gain her gratitude.
Step two: Increase contact and build trust.
Step three: Eventually make her his.
Suddenly, Li Xiao remembered how Xu Hao had seduced their stunning landlady, Xiao Wanling.
Right now, that same Xu Hao was in a couples’ hotel with Xiao Wanling…
Gradually, in his mind, Xiao Wanling’s figure morphed into that of his sister, Li Yunshu.
A chill ran down his spine.
No way!
This must not be allowed to happen.
There was no more space on the sofa, so he pulled up a chair, sat down, and cleared his throat.
“Don’t you think it’s too much of a coincidence?”
Hearing Li Xiao’s untimely remark, everyone turned to look at him.
“Xiao, what do you mean by that?” Father Li frowned.
“Think about it. Why did Xu Hao appear at that exact moment? Why not earlier or later, but right when my sister was in danger?”
Li Xiao started to guide them step by step.
His family firmly believed in Xu Hao’s good-guy persona. He could only try to subtly change their perception of him.
Mother Li was immediately displeased.
“Xiao, what are you trying to say? Should he have waited until your sister was actually in danger before showing up? Would that have made more sense to you?”
Father Li’s expression darkened.
Li Yunshu’s face was even colder.
Last time, this brainless little brother had already doubted Uncle Xu’s intentions.
Now, he was outright accusing him of scheming something.
Did he have paranoia or something?
She never cared much about this brother, even when he used to hang out with delinquents. Their relationship was distant, so she didn’t bother with him.
But now, even her good temper was running out.
She looked at Li Xiao with ice-cold eyes.
“That’s not what I meant,” Li Xiao quickly denied.
Of course, he didn’t want anything bad to happen to his sister.
He continued, “I have a theory. What if everything my sister went through today was staged?”
Li Yunshu scoffed instead of getting angry.
“Are you seriously suggesting that the danger I faced was set up by Uncle Xu?”
“That he deliberately waited to rescue me at the perfect moment?”
Father and Mother Li sensed the shift in her tone.
She was truly angry now.
Immediately, they scolded their disappointing son.
“Li Xiao, how can you say that about President Xu? He has been nothing but good to your sister!”
Mother Li was clearly upset.
“You little brat, hanging out with those lowlifes has made you stupid, hasn’t it?”
“Starting today, you’re getting a proper job! If I catch you fooling around outside again, I’ll break your legs!”
Father Li was so furious he wanted to hit him.
This son of his had no skills, no ambition—just a street punk.
Their daughter, on the other hand, had secured a good job with a boss who valued her.
The whole family was happy for her.
Yet here was their useless son, stirring up trouble, spouting nonsense, and being paranoid.
Seeing his parents’ strong reaction, Li Xiao was speechless.
Clearly, changing their minds about Xu Hao was going to be a long, uphill battle.
He rubbed his nose, shrugged, and forced a bitter smile.
“I never said that.”
But his expression and tone betrayed his true thoughts.
Li Yunshu spoke again, her gaze cold.
“By the way, about my interview day…”
“I wasn’t the only one interviewing. There was someone else there. That person had colluded with the interviewer to eliminate me from the selection.”
“And at that exact moment, Uncle Xu showed up, exposed their scheme, kicked my competitor out, and stood up for me.”
“If your logic is right, then that was staged too, wasn’t it?”
Li Xiao frowned deeply, his mind racing.
Xu Hao was nothing but a scumbag.
He already had a wife and a daughter—his daughter was practically an adult—yet he still chased after other women.
A total predator.
From Xu Hao’s perspective, a beautiful woman suddenly applied for a job at his company…
Setting up an ‘accident’ to swoop in and win her gratitude sounded entirely possible.
So, he nodded at his sister.
“Based on what you said, it’s very likely. Xu Hao is a sleazebag who deliberately made you feel indebted to him so he could take advantage of you later.”
“Shut up.”
Li Yunshu couldn’t listen anymore and cut him off coldly.
“Then explain this: after saving me, Uncle Xu didn’t just fire my competitor.”
“He also fired the interviewer and demoted the HR director to deputy director as punishment.”

Father and Mother Li were stunned.
Truth be told, after hearing Li Xiao’s theory, they had started to feel a tiny bit of doubt toward Xu Hao.
But after hearing their daughter’s explanation, that doubt vanished completely.
Firing an interviewer and demoting a high-level executive…
Just to put on an act for one girl?
They admitted their daughter was beautiful, but there were plenty of beautiful women in the world.
Xu Hao, with his billions in assets, had access to far more stunning women.
His reputation was impeccable—he had only ever had one wife, and even his secretary was a man.
People called him “the most devoted man in the industry.”
Besides… Xu Hao had to be at least fifty, right?
Their daughter was only in her twenties.
A man like Xu Hao would never be interested in their daughter.
What Li Xiao was suggesting was pure nonsense.
“Uh… this…”
Li Xiao hesitated.
Even he had to admit that firing employees and demoting executives just to stage a fake rescue would be ridiculous.
What he didn’t realize was that, given the right incentives, Xu Hao really would do something like that.
As long as it helped him win over a female lead, the consequences for others didn’t matter.
Li Xiao quickly changed the topic.
“Even if that was a coincidence, what happened this morning was definitely suspicious.”
“You were just on your way to work, and someone suddenly came to harass you. And then Xu Hao just happened to show up and save you?”
“Heh…”
Li Yunshu sneered.
“There’s one detail I might not have made clear.”
“The girl who harassed me this morning was actually my classmate.”
“Back in school, she used to constantly pick on me, spread rumors, and suppress me in every way possible.”
“The same girl was my competitor in the interview. She thought I stole her job, so she retaliated against me. Still think it was a setup?”
Hearing this, Father and Mother Li’s faces darkened.
So their daughter’s bully was an old classmate?
Had she suffered violence in school?
Mother Li quickly checked her daughter for any signs of injury.
Luckily, there were none.
She couldn’t help but scold her daughter for not telling them about the bullying sooner.
“Mom, Dad, don’t worry. Uncle Xu has already warned her. She won’t dare bother me again.”
“That’s good, that’s very good…”
The elderly couple once again felt deep gratitude toward Xu Hao.
Meanwhile, Li Xiao was still replaying everything his sister had said in his mind…
The explanation made sense—it logically connected all the pieces.
Everything checked out.
But… Li Xiao still felt something was off.
He racked his brain until a thought suddenly struck him. His eyes lit up, and he abruptly looked at Li Yunshu.
“Sis, do you think it’s possible that Xu Hao and that girl were working together? That everything was just an act to deceive you?”
“Don’t call me ‘Sis.’ It sounds disgusting to me.”
Li Yunshu had always been a patient person.
Even when Xu Fangfei bullied her in school, she never complained.
But this time, Li Xiao’s words had crossed the line.
Doubting and accusing the man who saved her life?
She found it repulsive.
Sure, what Li Xiao suggested wasn’t entirely impossible.
But she was self-aware—she was just an ordinary girl.
Why would a billionaire like Uncle Xu go through all that trouble for someone like her?
She didn’t bother looking at Li Xiao’s dumbfounded expression any longer.
Turning around, she walked into her bedroom and slammed the door shut.
Click. Locked.
Father and Mother Li took the opportunity to lecture their useless son again…
Meanwhile, Xiao Wanling slept until the afternoon.
She opened her eyes drowsily, feeling groggy and disoriented.
She remembered how, when she used to hang out with a few of the Xu family sisters, they always talked about how powerful Xu Hao was.
They also mentioned how their stepmother’s voice was unbelievably seductive…
Back then, Xiao Wanling didn’t believe it.
Su Wanqiu always appeared dignified and elegant, maintaining the image of a loving mother in front of her daughters.
But if she knew they were home, why didn’t she cover her mouth?
Now, Xiao Wanling finally understood Su Wanqiu’s helplessness.
She couldn’t take it!
Not at all!
Not even a little!
As her blurry vision focused, she suddenly realized—
Xu Hao was watching her with an amused expression.
Xiao Wanling’s face instantly turned red.
She instinctively wanted to hide, but a firm hand grabbed her and pulled her out…
