Chapter 158

Ding… Yan Wumei was extremely embarrassed, emotional value +678…

Ding… Luo Yan was furious, emotional value +888…

Watching Yan Wumei’s slightly awkward retreating figure, a smile flashed in Xu Hao’s eyes.

This heroine was truly ripe.

Just a little teasing had pushed her to the edge.

And there was more drama yet to come…

He hadn’t even used his lightning control yet—that was his ultimate move.

Let’s see how long this heroine could hold out.

Glancing at Luo Yan, who was hiding in the shadows, Xu Hao chuckled lightly before turning and walking back into the villa.

Afternoon—

Xu Hao arrived at the Chu Corporation by car.

His sister-in-law, Yao Xinrui, had already been informed and was waiting at the entrance.

Once she received him, the two walked inside together.

Six months had passed…

This heroine had grown more and more like a CEO.

Dressed in a professional suit, she exuded an air of sophistication and nobility.

In just a short time, she had multiplied the Chu Corporation’s market value several times over, reaching tens of billions.

Another powerful female CEO had emerged, earning the admiration of countless people.

Little did they know—

The goddess they worshipped was submitting to Xu Hao every night.

No… even during the day.

By now, this heroine had completely surrendered.

Xu Hao had also helped her secure full control of the Chu Corporation’s shares.

It had all started a few months ago.

Seeing that the heroine was nearly fully obedient, he began maneuvering to put Yao Xinrui in charge of the Chu family.

First, he intimidated the company’s shareholders into surrendering their shares and leaving.

Those who refused were quietly dealt with.

Then, he took care of the Chu father and son.

Naturally, all the shares fell into Yao Xinrui’s hands.

The rest of the Chu family objected, but Xu Hao shut them down…

Yao Xinrui stared at the shares in her hands.

She had just acquired a billion-dollar corporation—it felt like a dream.

At that moment, she truly witnessed Xu Hao’s ruthless methods.

All other thoughts in her mind were extinguished.

She obediently became his woman behind the scenes.

Xu Hao also handed her some projects that conflicted with the Xu Corporation—information he had extracted from the protagonist, Li Xiao.

As a result, the Chu Corporation’s value skyrocketed.

On the surface, Xu Hao controlled the Xu Corporation.

But in reality, his daughter Xu Hongzhuang’s media empire was also his, along with the secretly controlled Chu family.

Not to mention, Lin Chuching’s company would soon fall under his influence as well.

His power was growing rapidly.

But he wasn’t satisfied yet—he aimed to build the world’s top family, and there was still a long way to go.

Once they reached the CEO’s office, Yao Xinrui, knowing Xu Hao loved tea, brought out a prepared teapot and poured him a cup.

Then she positioned herself in a way that invited his attention.

This sister-in-law really knew how to play…

Yao Xinrui had been busy with a major project lately.

After giving her some “motivation,” Xu Hao left.

Evening—

Xu Hao arrived at an upscale residential complex.

“Uncle Xu!”

A sweet voice called out as soon as he stepped out of the car.

A figure came running toward him.

“Zijin, slow down—you shouldn’t risk hurting the baby.”

Xu Hao pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her slightly swollen belly.

It was unexpected.

Among his women, the protagonist’s beautiful stepmother had been the first to get pregnant.

This little heroine was the second.

She was already about five months along.

Over the past six months, Xu Hao had completely won over this well-behaved young heroine, whom he had first met handing out flyers to help her struggling family.

Knowing Mu Zijin’s family was poor, Xu Hao set up a financial aid program and visited her home.

When Mu Zijin realized the benefactor was the handsome older man she had met once before, she was both shocked and delighted.

They spent more time together, building their relationship.

Then, with Xu Hao’s help, her mother’s illness was cured.

Mu Zijin was moved to tears.

One day, under Xu Hao’s persuasion, she half-heartedly gave in to him.

After that, every time they met, they would indulge in each other.

Then one day, Mu Zijin started vomiting.

Xu Hao checked her pulse.

Well, well… pregnant.

When Mu Zijin heard the news, she was stunned.

She was still in her third year of high school!

She still had college entrance exams and university ahead.

Was she supposed to go to school with a big belly?

Take the exams while holding a baby?

Abortion was out of the question—this was the child of her love with Uncle Xu.

Just as she was panicking, Xu Hao stepped in, firmly holding her hand.

He promised to face it with her, encouraging her not to worry.

Whatever difficulties arose, he would handle them.

At that moment, Mu Zijin felt like the happiest woman in the world.

They kept the pregnancy a secret.

She continued attending school and returning home as usual.

During that time, Mu Zijin felt Xu Hao’s care deeply—he constantly brought her nourishing food and prenatal medicine.

She was incredibly touched.

And more determined than ever to keep the baby.

As time passed, her belly grew bigger.

When it was almost impossible to hide, Xu Hao took her to confront her mother.

When Mu’s mother found out her high-school daughter was pregnant—and had been for months—her mind went blank.

What made it worse was that the father was Xu Hao.

As an ordinary woman, she had never interacted with someone of Xu Hao’s status.

Only after he began supporting their family did she learn who he was.

The CEO of the Xu Corporation.

A famously kind philanthropist.

But Xu Hao was already fifty!

He had a happy family and seven daughters.

And now her daughter was carrying his child…

Mu’s mother felt dizzy, nearly fainting.

Angry, she started to demand answers.

But Mu Zijin defended Xu Hao, saying it was all her fault—she had been willing.

Her mother was so furious she wanted to hit her.

How could you seduce a man at your age?

But in the end, she couldn’t bring herself to do it.

She’s my own flesh and blood… and she’s pregnant.

Mu’s mother wanted the baby gone.

Mu Zijin refused, insisting on keeping it.

Xu Hao also made his stance clear.

Helpless, Mu’s mother had no choice but to accept reality.

Xu Hao arranged a small villa for the mother and daughter in an upscale neighborhood.

Their old place was no longer suitable—their neighbors all knew them.

If word got out that Mu Zijin was pregnant before even finishing high school, the gossip would never end.

Xu Hao also pulled strings at the school, allowing Mu Zijin to keep her student status without attending classes.

She could take the college entrance exams directly when the time came.

Not that it mattered—if she didn’t want to take them, Xu Hao could get her into any university with a word.

With things settled, Mu’s mother no longer needed to work to pay for her daughter’s tuition.

Now, she stayed home to care for her daughter and the unborn child.

Seeing Xu Hao visit often, bringing supplements and showing endless concern, Mu’s mother gradually accepted the situation.

Xu Hao might be older, but he looked like a man in his thirties—a charming, handsome uncle.

No wonder her daughter had fallen for him.

Even she had felt her heart race when they first met.

Actually… this wasn’t so bad.

Xu Hao and her daughter had good genes—their child would undoubtedly be exceptional.

Xu Hao was wealthy and powerful; he would never neglect the baby.

Most importantly, she had never seen her daughter so happy before.

Mu’s mother had witnessed her daughter’s happiest moments…

And her most rebellious ones.

Like that one night.

Wanting to take better care of her daughter, she slept in the next room.

She could hear everything.

Hearing her daughter’s soft moans and calling Xu Hao Daddy left her utterly numb.

“I’m usually careful, but when I see Uncle Xu, I just can’t help myself…”

Mu Zijin’s face bloomed with a blissful smile.

“Missed me that much after just a few days?”

Xu Hao gently stroked her silky hair.

“Of course! I want to be with Uncle Xu every day.”

Mu Zijin didn’t feel embarrassed.

After all, she had stood up to her mother for him.

Outwardly, she seemed pure and timid.

But inside, she was strong.

The two walked toward the villa together.

Xu Hao’s eyes glinted faintly.

It was amusing, really.

Mu Zijin was the second of his women to get pregnant.

The third was another school beauty from the same high school.

The two heroines had different temperaments.

Mu Zijin was sweet and obedient.

The other was a bit tsundere.

While spending time with Mu Zijin at school, Xu Hao had noticed the other girl.

After some investigation, he used various tactics to win her over.

Not long after Mu Zijin’s pregnancy, the other heroine was also expecting.

Now, she was also on leave, resting at home.

Mu’s mother waited at the villa entrance.

Watching her daughter cling to Xu Hao, walking over with a blissful expression, her emotions were complicated.

Her daughter, not even graduated from high school, was about to become a mother.

Mu’s mother was forty.

Dressed in casual homewear, her curves were still alluring.

Her face bore few signs of age—she was still elegant and graceful.

She had come to terms with everything.

When she saw Xu Hao carrying gifts, she warmly took them.

“President Xu, you didn’t have to bring anything!”

Xu Hao smiled.

“Just some health supplements—good for you, Zijin, and the baby.”

At first, Mu’s mother had feared her daughter was being used and abandoned.

But seeing Xu Hao’s constant care, she relaxed.

She had initially blamed Xu Hao for her daughter’s pregnancy.

But now, she believed her daughter’s claim—she had been the one to seduce him.

This girl… how bold.

If Mu Zijin knew her mother thought of her this way—all because she had defended Xu Hao—she would have been speechless.

Inviting Xu Hao inside, Mu’s mother had already prepared dinner.

The table was laden with dishes—many beneficial for pregnant women, plus Xu Hao’s favorites.

She had truly embraced her role as a full-time caretaker.

As they sat down, the three of them looked like a perfect family.

At a glance, anyone would assume Xu Hao and Mu’s mother were the parents, with Mu Zijin as their child.

Who would guess that Xu Hao and Mu Zijin were the actual couple?

“Uncle Xu, try this—Mom made it specially for you. It’s delicious!”

“And this one… this too…”

At the table, Mu Zijin kept serving Xu Hao food.

Her mother watched, feeling bittersweet.

After raising her for nearly 18 years, it’s like she’s someone else’s now.

“Alright, you eat too.”

Xu Hao didn’t refuse.

Picking up a piece of meat, he held it to her lips.

Mu Zijin paused, then happily took the bite.

Her heart was full of happiness.

Then, she imitated Xu Hao and picked up some food, bringing it to his lips.

The two of them were so lovey-dovey that it was almost sickeningly sweet.

Mother Mu couldn’t take it anymore.

Their public displays of affection made her uncomfortable, as if she were a third wheel.

Mu Ziqin stuck out her tongue playfully.

After dinner, they watched TV together for a while.

Xu Hao brought up that he had to leave.

He had other plans for the night.

“Uncle Xu, it’s so late already. Why don’t you stay and rest here?”

Mu Ziqin tried to persuade him.

Truthfully, she already felt incredibly grateful that Xu Hao—a billionaire with a packed schedule—had taken the time to accompany her.

Beside them, Mother Mu couldn’t help but recall that day when her daughter had called Xu Hao “Daddy.”

She shot her daughter a discreet, reproachful look.

Don’t you realize you’re pregnant?

No funny business.

Xu Hao patted her head gently.

“I have some matters to take care of at home. I’ll make it up to you next time, okay?”

“Alright then.”

Mu Ziqin was understanding and didn’t push further.

Qingcheng Law Firm – Office

A stunningly beautiful woman sat at her desk, meticulously reviewing legal documents.

Her face was breathtakingly gorgeous, and she wore a lawyer’s suit, exuding an elegant and noble aura.

She sat upright, her expression serious, with a sharp, intimidating air about her.

One look at her, and it was clear—she was not someone to be trifled with.

And indeed, she wasn’t.

Nearly everyone in the legal world knew her.

The undisputed Queen of Litigation, maintaining a 100% win rate.

Any lawyer who went up against her had to be on high alert—because one wrong move, and they might end up behind bars themselves.

Once, a judge, taken by her beauty, had made a subtle threat toward her.

The next day, he was in prison, sewing clothes on a manual machine.

Ring… Ring… Ring…

A sharp phone ringtone cut through the silence.

Yu Yun frowned.

She picked up her phone and saw it was her secretary calling.

Her brows relaxed slightly as she answered.

“Sister Yu, it’s terrible—Xiao Yao’s been kidnapped!”

The secretary’s voice trembled, on the verge of tears, as she stammered out what had happened.

Earlier, Yu Yun had finished dinner with her daughter, Yu Xiao Yao, and was about to head home when she remembered some unfinished case files at the firm.

She had asked her secretary to take her daughter back while she went to work.

But just as the secretary was about to drop Xiao Yao off at home, two women suddenly rushed out, grabbed the girl, and ran.

The secretary gave chase but was too slow—she could only watch as her daughter was shoved into a van and driven away.

Yu Yun’s face darkened.

Her usual calm expression was now filled with panic.

Yu Xiao Yao was her daughter.

Not by blood, but she had raised her since childhood.

She might not be her biological mother, but their bond was deeper than blood.

She could not let anything happen to her.

As a top defense attorney, Yu Yun had saved many people—but she had also made countless enemies.

She didn’t know if this was a long-planned act of revenge.

But one thing was certain—if her daughter fell into the wrong hands, the consequences would be dire.

Yu Yun panicked.

She immediately grabbed her phone and called a close friend in the police department—

Police Officer Liu Yiran.

Outside a Shopping Mall

A car was parked near the entrance.

Xu Hao sat inside, calculating the timing.

Not far away, Luo Yan—who had just been kicked out by Yan Wumei after badmouthing Xu Hao again—was walking down the street in frustration.

Suddenly, his gaze sharpened.

He spotted Xu Hao sitting in the car, and his killing intent flared.

This bastard dares to make moves on my woman?

He’s already marked for death.

Luo Yan had been planning to teach him a brutal lesson soon—and now, fate had brought them face to face.

He was about to march over and confront Xu Hao when—

Whoosh!

A van sped past.

Through the window, he could faintly see a little girl—

Hands and feet bound, mouth gagged, held tightly by a woman inside.

Huh? Isn’t that… my aunt’s daughter?

Inside the Car

The target had appeared.

Xu Hao ordered Bai Ling to follow.
