Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children
Chapter 156

Chapter 156

After Yan Wumei left, only the Xu family remained.

Well… almost the Xu family.

There was still Xiao Wanling.

But since she’d long since become Xu Hao’s woman, calling her part of the family wasn’t far off.

Xiao Wanling, a wealthy heiress with little work to do, usually helped her best friend Xu Hongzhuang manage Red Beauty Media.

Right now, she sat obediently beside Xu Hao on the sofa, pretending to watch TV.

A closer look would reveal—

Her body was tense, her expression too focused.

A hand slowly traced circles on her smooth, flawless thigh.

Xiao Wanling kept her eyes glued to the screen, but her peripheral vision tracked the Xu sisters.

Don’t notice, don’t notice…

She shot Xu Hao a sideways glare.

Uncle Xu loves tormenting me.

If the sisters discovered their little secret…

Would they dismember her?

[Ding… Xiao Wanling is nervous. Emotional Value +567…]

Xu Hao smirked.

This was why his strength had skyrocketed in six months.

He lived for moments like this—pushing heroines to the edge, harvesting their emotional turmoil.

Frankly, he hoped his daughters would catch them.

The more shame the heroines felt, the richer his rewards.

Glancing at his four daughters nearby—

All were engrossed in their phones, chatting in the group:

[Flower-like Beauty—Seven Immortal Maidens]

Little Girl Selling Nukes: “The heavens roar—the beauty has arrived!” (sparkle emoji)

Traditional Medicine YYDS: ?

Technology is Prime Productivity: ?

All I Want is Money: ?

Drawing Circles to Curse You: ?

Call Me Queen: ?

I’m Not a Celebrity: ?

Having successfully summoned her sisters, Xu Huayi (Little Girl Selling Nukes) typed:

“Vote’s 4:3. Big Sis, you lost. Just come home already. We won’t laugh.”

Technology is Prime Productivity: “Pathetic.”

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “Such a dutiful daughter, always singing his praises. What’s your real agenda?”

Drawing Circles to Curse You: “It’s not a trick! Once you’re back, we’ll unite like never before!”

—Wouldn’t it be nice to be a happy family again?

Technology is Prime Productivity: “Your eyes are only on him. Where do we fit in?”

Call Me Queen: “Second Sis, how can you say that? Dad’s family too!”

All I Want is Money: “Hah…”

The three exiled sisters hadn’t forgotten—

Xu Feiyan had sworn she’d die before forgiving Xu Hao.

Yet now?

She served him tea, wore maid outfits, and worshipped the ground he walked on.

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “Look how far Big Sis has fallen. Openly glorifying him now?”

Little Girl Selling Nukes: “It’s not glorifying! Dad’s actually amazing! He built Xu Corp into a billion-dollar empire in half a year!”

—We’re now top-tier nobility in Shanghai. You’re missing out!

Drawing Circles to Curse You: “And he’s so good to us! Remember when Zhao Media blacklisted Third Sis? Dad bought the company for her!”

—A multi-billion firm, zero worries about losses. Then he wrote her hit songs, made her a legend! He’ll do the same for you!

Call Me Queen: “Sisters, please come home. Dad doesn’t hold grudges. I fought him too, but now—fair treatment!”

I’m Not a Celebrity: “Big Sis, Second Sis, Fourth Sis—Dad can make any dream come true. Just come back.”

The four converted sisters piled on persuasion.

The chat fell silent.

A modest office, late at night.

Xu Mingkong stared at her screen, fingers frozen over the keyboard.

She’d chosen entrepreneurship over grad school for one reason—

To surpass Xu Hao.

To prove her worth.

And she had succeeded—turning a tiny studio into a multi-million business in years.

But in the last six months?

Xu Hao’s empire had exploded to tens of billions.

She was sprinting, yet he lapped her at light speed.

Worst of all?

Xu Hongzhuang—handed a billion-dollar media conglomerate—had multiplied its value under Dad’s guidance.

Years of her effort… versus his casual gift.

The bitterness choked her.

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “So what if he’s rich? A heartless man like him can rot with his money.”

Technology is Prime Productivity: “‘All-powerful’? Delusional. Who cares about his approval? We did nothing wrong!”

All I Want is Money: “I won’t break. Save your breath—we’re never going back.”

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “Big Sis, I’ve mastered medicine. I’ll return soon to check if they’ve been drugged.”

Little Girl Selling Nukes: “OMG! Fourth Sis is coming home?! Family +1!”

Drawing Circles to Curse You / Call Me Queen / I’m Not a Celebrity: “Family +1!”

[Three Loving Sisters] (private group)

Technology is Prime Productivity: “@Traditional Medicine YYDS: You’re really going? Xu Hao’s not normal. Don’t.”

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “Just cheap tricks. Second Sis, my skills now—I can revive the dying. If they’re poisoned, easy cure.”

—Plus, I’m Peak Ming Jin. Xu Hao’s no match for me.

Technology is Prime Productivity: “Fifth Sis is strong too…”

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “She’s Basic Ming Jin—better than special forces, but trash to real experts. I could take 20 of her.”

All I Want is Money: “With your skills, it’s safe. But be careful.”

Technology is Prime Productivity: “Don’t pull a Fifth Sis and defect. Then it’s just me and Big Sis left.”

Traditional Medicine YYDS: “Don’t worry. I’d die before—”

Technology is Prime Productivity: “STOP. No jinxing yourself. I’m scared now.”

Xu Residence

Slap!

Xu Hongzhuang playfully smacked Xiao Wanling’s shoulder after finishing her chat.

Xiao Wanling jumped, turning stiffly.

“Wanling, sleep with me tonight! Let’s discuss your project draft…” Hongzhuang grinned.

“N-no need!” Xiao Wanling’s voice cracked.

She had plans with Uncle Xu.

If her best friend found out… game over.

“We can talk anytime! It’s not urgent—”

Hm?

Hongzhuang’s eyes narrowed, scanning her like a detective.

Testing.

She’d noticed—

Lately, Xiao Wanling would vanish mid-sleep, only to magically reappear by dawn.

At first, she assumed bathroom trips.

But one night, she’d waited… and Wanling never returned.

Suspicious.

Under Hongzhuang’s scrutiny, Xiao Wanling’s gaze darted away—

Guilty as charged.

Xu Hongzhuang was now the Goddess of Music, holding an unrivaled position in the entertainment industry. She also controlled a corporate empire worth nearly a hundred billion. Her presence was overwhelming.

In the end, Xiao Wanling gave in.

“Fine, fine, I can’t do anything with you. You’re a grown woman and still want to sleep together...”

Xu Hongzhuang gritted her teeth.

As if she was the one insisting they share a bed!

Wasn’t this all just to test what schemes Xiao Wanling had in mind?

Before bed—

Xu Hao didn’t have to lift a finger for his nightly routine.

Her obedient daughter, Xu Feiyan, brought out his toothbrush, squeezed the toothpaste onto it, and stood in front of him to assist. She then prepared warm water for him to wash his face and even brought over a basin, kneeling to help him wash his feet. If not for the inconvenience, she would have gone through the entire routine, including bathing...

Unlike before, when Xu Feiyan did these things as part of a punishment, now she acted sincerely.

After finishing his routine, Xu Hao returned to his room.

Su Wanqiu was already six months pregnant, so he couldn’t disturb her. Xu Hao said he would just hold her and do nothing else, sleeping quietly. But Su Wanqiu refused, and the two slept in separate rooms. She knew Xu Hao meant well, but she couldn’t be that selfish. Considering Xu Hao’s needs, she had Xiao Wanling accompany him every night until dawn...

The night deepened...

After confirming her best friend Xu Hongzhuang was sound asleep, Xiao Wanling quietly got out of bed. She tiptoed to Xu Hao’s bedroom door, glanced around, then turned the knob and slipped inside.

Unbeknownst to her, a shadow followed in the darkness.

Xu Hongzhuang’s eyes filled with confusion.

What was her best friend doing in her father’s room so late at night?

Frowning, she crept forward. Just as she was about to open the door and investigate, her steps suddenly froze.

The sounds coming from inside the room made her face flush, her expression shifting rapidly. A surge of fury erupted within her.

Her fists clenched.

Her fists hardened!

Xu Hongzhuang gritted her teeth.

Xiao Wanling, you traitor! I treated you like a sister, and you’re seducing my father? Trying to become my stepmother?

She remembered the time Xiao Wanling had joked about “stealing some of Dad’s love.”

And now, she had succeeded.

Wasn’t this exactly what “love” sounded like?

Disgusting...

Thinking back, she had always treated Xiao Wanling as her closest friend, sharing everything with her.

What had been going through Xiao Wanling’s mind all this time?

Had she secretly seen Xu Hongzhuang as nothing more than a “dutiful daughter” trying to win her favor?

No wonder her best friend’s gaze had always seemed a little... off.

So scheming!

Xiao Wanling must have taken advantage of Su Wanqiu’s pregnancy—knowing she couldn’t be with Xu Hao—to sneak in and steal him away.

Yes, Xu Hongzhuang blamed everything on her best friend.

She was the one who seduced Xu Hao.

Because Xu Hao’s character was beyond reproach.

Since his transformation, he had been nothing but good to his daughters—and even to his beautiful stepwife. The couple’s relationship was rock-solid...

This had to be Xiao Wanling’s fault.

Of course, part of it was also because Xu Hao had known Xu Hongzhuang was eavesdropping and deliberately guided Xiao Wanling into saying certain things.

[Ding… Xu Hongzhuang is furious. Emotional value +666…][Ding… Xu Hongzhuang is humiliated. Emotional value +777…][Ding… Xu Hongzhuang’s heart races. Emotional value +888…]

Xu Hao smiled.

As expected, letting his daughter discover his affair with Xiao Wanling yielded even greater rewards.

In the end, Xu Hongzhuang resisted the urge to barge in and expose them. That would embarrass Xu Hao too much.

Instead, she decided to wait outside, planning to catch Xiao Wanling red-handed when she came out.

But as she waited...

She couldn’t take it anymore.

Blushing furiously, she rushed back to her bedroom.

Ugh! Xiao Wanling always acted so elegant and proper, but who knew she could be so shameless?

You’re not even his daughter—why are you calling him “Daddy”?

Is it really that... good?

At that moment, Xu Hongzhuang’s mind was in chaos.

All sorts of wild thoughts swirled in her head.

She shook them away violently.

This is all Xiao Wanling’s fault!

When she got back, Xu Hongzhuang would give her a piece of her mind.

If Xiao Wanling didn’t explain herself properly, their friendship was over.

Even after returning from Xu Hao’s door, the night was so quiet that Xu Hongzhuang felt like she could still hear... things.

Knowing her best friend wouldn’t return for a while, she tried to get some sleep.

But no matter how much she tossed and turned, she couldn’t drift off.

Ever since taking the Marrow-Cleansing Pill Xu Hao gave her, no amount of work stress had ever kept her awake.

Yet now, she was suffering from insomnia.

Time passed quickly...

Dawn was just breaking when Xiao Wanling still hadn’t returned.

Xu Hongzhuang gnashed her teeth in frustration.

At this rate, she’s not just stealing Dad’s love from me—she’s taking my sisters’ shares too!

Click—

Just as Xu Hongzhuang was fuming, a soft sound came from the door.

She pretended to be asleep.

Sure enough, Xiao Wanling crept in, moving cautiously toward the bed.

Xiao Wanling was terrified of being discovered.

She had meant to return earlier, but Xu Hao had been unusually... insistent tonight.

Seeing her best friend still “asleep,” she let out a quiet sigh of relief.

But just as she was about to lie down—

“Wanling, where did you go?”

Xiao Wanling froze. Slowly, she turned her head.

Xu Hongzhuang was staring at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

“I... drank too much water last night. Had to use the bathroom. Heh...”

Xiao Wanling forced a laugh, trying to brush it off.

But Xu Hongzhuang wasn’t having it.

She glanced at Xiao Wanling’s lips.

You expect me to believe it was just “water”?

Coldly, she interrogated her:

“The bathroom’s right here in the room. Why did you go outside?”

“I didn’t want to wake you up...”

Xiao Wanling sensed something was off but kept up the act.

“Oh? How considerate of you.”

“Then tell me—what time did you go?”

“Just now. I wasn’t gone long.”

“Heh...”

Xu Hongzhuang crossed her arms and smirked.

Xiao Wanling’s heart sank.

A bad feeling crept over her.
