Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children

Chapter 137

Seeing his son sincerely taking Xu Hao’s advice, Chu Xiong nodded in satisfaction.

This rebellious son of his never gave him peace of mind.

He hoped Xu Hao’s guidance would have some effect.

After expressing his gratitude to Xu Hao, Chu Xiong remembered something else.

“Brother Xu, isn’t your company currently ramping up production of electric vehicles? Last time, you spoke with Xinrui about it. I was wondering if you’d be interested in collaborating with her company?”

“As for the price, don’t worry, Brother Xu. I won’t let you lose out…”

Xu Hao had brought him two bottles of Maotai worth millions, so Chu Xiong’s tone was particularly generous, and he was even friendlier toward Xu Hao.

This was exactly the result Xu Hao wanted.

Chu Xiong’s intention to collaborate with Xu Hao wasn’t about making money.

The company managed by his wife, Yao Xinrui, was just one of the smaller businesses under the Chu family.

He had handed it over to Yao Xinrui as a facade, not expecting it to generate much profit.

The reason he wanted to collaborate with Xu Hao was to prevent Lin Chuqing from partnering with him.

The Xu family was on par with the Chu family.

Chu Xiong was currently suppressing Lin Chuqing, and if Xu Hao were to collaborate with her,

it would create an awkward situation.

He couldn’t possibly start a feud with the Xu family over such a minor issue, could he?

Recently, he had heard that Xu Hao had met Lin Chuqing at a business expo.

They had even spoken privately in her office for a while.

Although they hadn’t reached a collaboration in the end, Chu Xiong still had some concerns.

And just yesterday,

Xu Hao had saved Lin Chuqing, which might have led to him developing a favorable impression of her and agreeing to collaborate…

So—

to avoid an awkward situation,

Chu Xiong decided to approach Xu Hao for collaboration in advance.

Given their friendship, Xu Hao shouldn’t refuse.

Xu Hao, of course, had no intention of refusing.

The new energy electric vehicle industry was an emerging field.

While the market was still largely untapped, Xu Hao planned to take a big bite out of it.

Both Lin Chuqing’s company and the electronics company managed by Yao Xinrui under the Chu family

were already in his sights.

“Of course…”

Xu Hao nodded with a smile.

He glanced at Yao Xinrui and said meaningfully,

“I’m new to the electric vehicle industry and don’t know how deep the waters are. I’ll need Sister-in-law to guide me.”

“Collaborating with you is an honor. I hope we can achieve mutual success…”

Yao Xinrui noticed Xu Hao’s gaze.

Hearing the hidden meaning in his words, her heart raced.

This was dangerous.

He was hinting so blatantly.

What if Chu Xiong found out?

Indeed, someone had picked up on it.

But it wasn’t Chu Xiong—it was Li Xiao, who was standing nearby.

He knew about the relationship between Xu Hao and Yao Xinrui.

Instantly, he connected the dots from Xu Hao’s words.

Watching Xu Hao flirt with Yao Xinrui, Li Xiao gritted his teeth.

How bold could he be?

Flirting with his sister-in-law right in front of his brother.

Wasn’t this too much?

Poor Chu Xiong, completely in the dark, still calling him “Brother Xu” so affectionately.

Little did he know, Xu Hao was toying with his wife…

Chu Xiong, unaware of the situation between Xu Hao and Yao Xinrui, didn’t read too much into the comment.

He smiled contentedly.

“Good. Since you’re in the same industry, you should deepen your collaboration.”

Yao Xinrui’s expression turned grim.

Deeper collaboration?

It couldn’t get any deeper than this.

At this moment, the chef brought out the dishes.

Chu Xiong invited Xu Hao to the table.

Usually, during family meals, to maintain the appearance of marital harmony, Yao Xinrui always sat next to Chu Xiong.

But she kept a safe distance of one meter.

Xu Hao, pulled by Chu Xiong, naturally ended up sitting between the two of them…

To his left was Yao Xinrui.

To his right was Chu Xiong.

Chu Xiong didn’t think much of it.

He wanted to drink with Xu Hao, so it made sense to sit closer.

Chu Xiaotian, lost in his own world, didn’t notice.

He was struggling to hold himself together.

After tormenting Li Xiao all night, he felt intense pain.

Usually, he indulged too much, but under the influence of the drug, he had lost all sense of restraint…

Later, he became powerless and numb.

What could he do with all that pent-up frustration?

He could only vent his anger through violence.

This was why Li Xiao had ended up in such a miserable state.

Otherwise, why would Chu Xiaotian feel guilty?

If it were just about “blossoming,” that was Li Xiao’s own fault for giving bad advice.

If you lifted his clothes, you’d see Li Xiao covered in bruises.

It was downright brutal…

Yao Xinrui sensed something was off.

She felt that sitting next to Xu Hao was dangerous.

She just had a bad feeling.

Li Xiao, who knew Xu Hao all too well, guessed what he was planning. His heart sank.

He was utterly shocked.

No way, no way…

Was Xu Hao really going to do that?

How utterly depraved!

Once they were seated, Chu Xiong opened the two bottles of Maotai.

The rich aroma of the wine filled the air.

Chu Xiong’s eyes lit up.

“As expected of wine worth millions…”

Chu Xiaotian, who had been feeling miserable, perked up at the mention of the wine’s value.

What kind of wine was worth millions?

Seeing his father pour a glass for Xu Hao, he couldn’t help but drool.

He quickly handed over his own glass.

“Dad, pour me a glass too.”

“What are you doing? Such fine wine would be wasted on you…”

Chu Xiong frowned, his anger flaring up at the sight of his son.

He was about to continue scolding when Xu Hao intervened, smiling.

“Wine is meant to be drunk. Since Xiaotian wants to try it, why not pour him a glass? There’s plenty here for all of us.”

Xu Hao was intrigued.

He had specifically brought two bottles of wine today

to get both Chu Xiong and his son drunk.

That way, he could stay behind and fulfill his “agreement” with Yao Xinrui.

As for Li Xiao, who had strong cultivation and wouldn’t easily get drunk?

Xu Hao wasn’t planning to get him drunk either.

After all, he had leverage over Li Xiao.

He would obediently follow Xu Hao’s orders…

Later, when Xu Hao was busy with Yao Xinrui, he wouldn’t have time to deal with Chu Xiong and his son.

He would need the protagonist to help clean up the table

and get these two upstairs to rest.

That way, Chu Xiong wouldn’t notice anything amiss the next day.

Since the wine was a gift from Xu Hao, Chu Xiong poured a glass for his son and Li Xiao as well.

He was extremely careful,

afraid to spill even a single drop.

Every drop of this million-dollar wine was money.

Smelling the aroma, Chu Xiaotian thanked Xu Hao.

“Thank you, Uncle Xu…”

This time, there was a hint of sincerity in his tone.

Suddenly, an idea struck him. He raised his glass and said to Xu Hao,

“Uncle Xu, thank you for yesterday. Let me toast you…”

This minor antagonist wanted to drink with him.

Xu Hao didn’t refuse, smiling as he raised his glass in response.

Seeing his son behaving somewhat properly, Chu Xiong’s expression softened slightly.

Noticing his father’s reaction, Chu Xiaotian felt a surge of joy.

It seemed he was on the right track.

As long as he pleased Uncle Xu, he could change his father’s disappointment in him.

Chu Xiaotian became enthusiastic.

He decided to toast Xu Hao a few more times later.

“Brother Xu, let’s have a drink too.”

After eating for a while and seeing Xu Hao take a break, Chu Xiong also raised his glass.

He couldn’t wait to taste the million-dollar wine.

They clinked glasses lightly.

The wine was sweet, mellow, and left an endless aftertaste.

Chu Xiong let out a satisfied sigh.

It was better than any wine he had ever tasted.

Touched that Xu Hao had brought out such fine wine, he said warmly,

“Brother Xu, don’t stand on ceremony. Make yourself at home…”

Xu Hao nodded with a smile.

In truth, he wasn’t being polite with this “brother” of his.

He truly treated this place as his own home.

His left hand subtly reached under the table,

resting on Yao Xinrui’s thigh, enjoying the smoothness.

Yao Xinrui focused on her meal.

She had nothing to say to these people.

Watching Xu Hao chat amiably with Chu Xiong, she found it utterly absurd.

It was so hypocritical.

Here he was, calling Chu Xiong “brother,” while threatening his brother’s wife to fulfill various “agreements.”

They had tried every trick in the book.

As she ate, Yao Xinrui suddenly froze.

Yao Xinrui felt a hand.

She subtly followed the direction of the hand with her gaze.

Who else could it be but Xu Hao?

Her heart leapt into her throat.

What kind of situation was this?

Chu Xiong was right beside them.

How could Xu Hao dare to do such a thing?

She shot Xu Hao a warning glance, signaling him not to act recklessly…

But Xu Hao remained unfazed, pretending not to notice.

Yao Xinrui had no choice.

She could only pretend to eat normally,

doing her best not to show any signs of abnormality.

Her disguise was flawless.

She ate just as she always did,

every movement graceful and dignified, exuding the aura of a noblewoman.

Chu Xiong and his son noticed nothing amiss.

They continued to drink with Xu Hao,

who accepted every toast without hesitation.

Sitting across from them, Li Xiao had been observing Xu Hao the entire time.

Suddenly, he noticed Xu Hao’s hand slipping under the table.

Then he saw Yao Xinrui’s subtle discomfort, her brows furrowing, her eyes filled with resentment…

Li Xiao’s heart sank.

He had known that Xu Hao sitting next to Yao Xinrui couldn’t mean anything good.

Now his suspicions were confirmed.

He glanced at Yao Xinrui on Xu Hao’s left, then at Chu Xiong on his right, who was beaming with joy.

Li Xiao felt utterly numb.

[Ding… Li Xiao is furious. Emotional value +888…] [Ding… Yao Xinrui is anxious. Emotional value +666…]

The meal left Li Xiao seething with anger.

Watching Xu Hao deceive Chu Xiong and bully Yao Xinrui was unbearable.

He desperately wished Chu Xiong’s chopsticks would fall to the floor,

so he could bend down and see

the devastating scene beneath the table.

But it didn’t happen.

Chu Xiong continued to drink with Xu Hao,

his face already showing signs of intoxication.

“Brother Xu, let’s keep drinking. We won’t stop until we’re drunk,” Chu Xiong slurred.

“Brother Xu, I’m not bragging, but women shouldn’t be spoiled. Give them an inch, and they’ll take a mile.”

“Take my wife, for example. If I tell her to collaborate with you, she has to collaborate with you.”

“In this household, what I say goes. That’s the power of being the head of the family.”

“Yeah, yeah, sure…”

Xu Hao, while enjoying the smoothness under the table, smiled and nodded along.

Li Xiao couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

Was this guy seriously bragging right now?

“What I say goes”?

“The power of being the head of the family”?

Did he even realize what was happening to his wife?

Seeing the smirk on Xu Hao’s face,

Li Xiao could only imagine how much of a clown Chu Xiong looked like in Xu Hao’s eyes.

Bang!

A loud noise startled Yao Xinrui, who had been on edge the entire time.

Her hands trembled, nearly sending her bowl and chopsticks flying.

Everyone turned to look…

Chu Xiaotian had passed out drunk, slumped over the table.

“Useless waste,” Chu Xiong muttered under his breath, then raised his glass to Xu Hao.

“Brother Xu, let’s keep drinking.”

After clinking glasses, he downed his drink in one go.

“By the way, I just mentioned the power of being the head of the family. What about you, Brother Xu? Does your wife keep you in check?”

As he spoke, Chu Xiong glanced at his wife.

Yao Xinrui, who had been nervously keeping an eye on him,

panicked when she noticed him looking her way.

Under normal circumstances, Chu Xiong would have sensed something was wrong.

But he was already drunk,

his vision blurry and doubled.

In his eyes, Xu Hao and his wife seemed to be sitting closer than usual.

He shook his head and gave Yao Xinrui a look that said, “Play along.”

He hoped she wouldn’t expose his bragging.

After all, theirs was a marriage of convenience.

He had to at least give her a heads-up before talking about her like that.

But Yao Xinrui was in no state to care about his signals.

“Me?” Xu Hao murmured.

He thought about his life at home—

his daughters taking turns to massage his feet,

his stunning stepmother waiting for him in new outfits every night,

and recently, he had even managed to lure Chu Xiong’s wife into his arms.

He was even planning to expand his harem.

Because his stepmother was pregnant and needed to be careful,

he had turned to his daughter’s best friend,

who would knock on his door after his daughter fell asleep.

Xu Hao felt—

this wasn’t much different from being an ancient emperor, was it?

Of course, he wouldn’t say any of this out loud. He simply replied,

“It’s alright, not bad…”

Chu Xiong misunderstood.

Thinking that Xu Hao was too embarrassed to talk about his family status,

he started bragging again.

Xu Hao continued to encourage him to drink.

Before long, Chu Xiong was also drunk,

slumped over the table and mumbling, “Keep drinking…”

With both father and son knocked out, Xu Hao remained completely unaffected.

In fact, he felt even more energized.

There was something exciting he needed to do.

His gaze fell on Yao Xinrui.

“Xinrui, I know you have a private bedroom. Why don’t you show me around?”

Seeing Chu Xiong passed out, Yao Xinrui finally relaxed.

At least she didn’t have to be on edge anymore.

But before she could fully exhale in relief,

Xu Hao’s request to visit her bedroom left her feeling helpless.

It seemed there was no escaping him.

However…

After four “agreements,” she wasn’t as resistant as before.

Going to the bedroom was better than staying in the living room.

Still, she glanced worriedly at Chu Xiong,

afraid he might wake up and discover her with Xu Hao.

Yao Xinrui stood up and led the way.

Xu Hao smiled and waved at Li Xiao.

“I’m going to take a look at the bedroom. You clean up the table and help them to their rooms.”

Li Xiao’s face turned as dark as a pot. He could no longer hold back and coldly said,

“Don’t you feel any guilt? Chu Xiong considers you a friend, and this is how you treat his wife?”

He had been bottling up his anger for too long.

Being manipulated by Xu Hao into that humiliating situation with Chu Xiaotian,

watching Xu Hao bully Yao Xinrui right under Chu Xiong’s nose,

and now heading to the bedroom—what else could it mean?

Li Xiao couldn’t suppress his anger any longer and lashed out.

Other places were one thing.

If Xu Hao had threatened him elsewhere, he wouldn’t have said anything.

But this was the Chu family home.

Chu Xiong might be drunk, but he was still here…

And you’re going to his wife’s bedroom?

You’re not even human.

Xu Hao paused mid-step and turned to look at Li Xiao, his expression playful.

“Are you lecturing me? Wouldn’t it be better to just be a obedient watchdog? Why meddle in things that don’t concern you?”

Li Xiao’s face twisted in rage, veins bulging on his forehead.

Xu Hao really did intend to treat him like a dog, controlling him for life and never letting him rise again.

[Ding… Li Xiao is consumed with hatred and rage. Emotional value +1000…]

Xu Hao chuckled.

Mockingly, he said,

“Do as you’re told, and don’t get any funny ideas. You wouldn’t want your little secret with Chu Xiaotian to get out, would you?”

Li Xiao’s pupils contracted sharply.

He was grinding his teeth so hard they might shatter.

So it really was Xu Hao’s scheme.

It had been a suspicion before, but now that Xu Hao had admitted it outright, Li Xiao exploded with fury.

He wanted to curse and rush forward to kill Xu Hao.

But he was no match for him.

And with Xu Hao’s threat hanging over him,

Li Xiao could only swallow his rage…

Xu Hao ignored him and turned to follow Yao Xinrui, who was waiting for him at the stairs.

He wrapped his arm around her waist as they went upstairs.

Yao Xinrui took out her keys and unlocked the door.

This was her private bedroom.

To prevent anyone from tampering with her belongings, she had even changed the lock.

Once inside—dry wood met fiery flames, and there was no turning back…
