Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Ding... Li Xiao is furious. Emotion value +789...

As Chu Xiaotian dragged him away, Li Xiao couldn’t help but sneer in his heart.

Seriously?

Where did all that arrogance go just now?

It’s just Xu Hao! He’s from a family on the same level as yours. What’s there to be afraid of?

Despite his words, Li Xiao didn’t dare face Xu Hao either.

He dreaded the possibility of being ordered to bring over his sister-in-law again.

After all, he knew about Xu Hao’s four-day arrangement with her.

The last thing he wanted was to see his sister-in-law walking stiffly again.

He still remembered that day—after she parted ways with Xu Hao, she returned to the office.

The entire afternoon, her brows remained furrowed.

Li Xiao’s heart shattered at the sight.

Damn, that’s brutal.

If that was just the first time, what would happen after a few more rounds?

Even as resentment filled his heart, confusion crept in.

Why was Xu Hao here?

His thoughts mirrored Zheng Feifan’s—both assumed Xu Hao had set his sights on the Ice Queen CEO, Lin Chuqing.

Li Xiao knew her well.

She was cold, distant, and ruthlessly efficient in her work.

If there was any way to win her over, it required long-term effort to melt that icy heart.

Li Xiao had already mapped out his plan.

He would wait until the Chu family pressured her into desperation.

Then, at the perfect moment, he would step in and offer her a way out.

That would plant the seeds of gratitude and curiosity in her heart.

From there, he would slowly break through her defenses and conquer her step by step.

The plan was flawless.

But today, the moment he saw Xu Hao, an ominous feeling crept over him.

A Stir Among the Crowd

“Wow, that’s President Xu from the Xu Group! He already has seven daughters, yet he looks so young.”

“Yeah, he seems to be in his thirties. He doesn’t look much older than me.”

“Not just young, but incredibly handsome too. He’s exactly my type—mature and charming. Too bad he’s deeply in love with his wife…”

“What, are you saying that if he wasn’t so devoted, you’d try to steal him? Dream on! I’ve seen his wife before—her beauty and figure are on par with our CEO’s.”

“I can’t believe a CEO of such a massive corporation is here at this business expo. Maybe he’s looking for business partners? I heard he’s restructuring his company and entering the electric vehicle industry. If only he’d collaborate with our company…”

Inside the store of Qingtian Electronics—

A few receptionists whispered excitedly when they saw Xu Hao arrive.

Zheng Feifan’s expression darkened.

Their admiration for Xu Hao enraged him.

These same people had once sung praises about Xu Hao, which had led him to misjudge his greatest enemy—the man who killed his father.

They had called him “Uncle” without knowing they were pledging loyalty to a murderer.

Lin Chuqing overheard their conversation.

Her gaze shifted toward Xu Hao, her expression changing slightly.

A thought surfaced in her mind.

Xu Hao had acquired the Liu family’s electric vehicle company.

She had a business partnership with that company.

While the Chu family was suppressing her business, she had visited countless partners.

Yet, for some reason, she had never reached out to the Liu family.

The official explanation had been that the Liu father and son had died in a car accident.

Besides, it was just a small company with minimal sales…

How had she forgotten that Xu Hao’s group had taken over that business?

The Xu Group wasn’t like the Liu family.

They weren’t short on funds.

She had also heard rumors that Xu Hao was expanding his electric vehicle production.

And to manufacture EVs, he would need a steady supply of batteries—something her company had in abundance.

But more importantly—

The Xu Group was a billion-dollar corporation, just as powerful as the Chu family.

She wouldn’t have to bow to the Chu family anymore.

Excitement surged through her.

Her breath quickened.

The Chu family had been suffocating her company.

Now, she saw a way out.

“President Xu, welcome. I apologize for not greeting you sooner.”

She signaled for the receptionists to prepare tea before personally stepping forward.

She led Xu Hao to a seat on the sofa.

Hiding her eagerness, she probed cautiously.

“President Xu, I’m surprised you had time to attend this business expo.”

“Just taking a look.”

Xu Hao smiled, his expression unreadable.

“I hope my sudden visit hasn’t caused you any trouble.”

His presence here was no coincidence.

After thoroughly researching the electric vehicle market, his intel had revealed that Lin Chuqing would be attending.

Wasn’t she the CEO of Zheng Feifan’s company?

One of the female leads.

Xu Hao had been looking forward to meeting her.

Character: Lin Chuqing

Identity: CEO of Qingtian Electronics, Female Lead of Urban Guardian of Beauties

Charm: 95 (Max: 100)

Strength: 11 (Average: 10)

Constitution: 10 (Average: 10)

Mental Power: 11 (Average: 10)

Favorability: 0

Xu Hao wasn’t disappointed.

Both in looks and figure, Lin Chuqing surpassed all the female leads he had encountered before.

That was before.

Now that he had taken the Marrow Cleansing Pill, the difference had mostly evened out.

“No trouble at all. I ran into a little problem earlier, and President Xu stepped in to help.”

After some casual conversation, Xu Hao sighed and remarked,

“President Lin, you’re still young, yet you managed to turn a nearly bankrupt company into one worth billions. That’s truly impressive.”

“You’re too kind, President Xu. I was just playing around in the business world. You are the real role model for my generation.”

Lin Chuqing felt a bit flattered.

That was the truth.

She was known as the Ice Queen CEO in Shanghai, but her reputation didn’t come close to Xu Hao’s.

He had built a billion-dollar empire from scratch, becoming a legend admired by countless entrepreneurs.

A thought flashed through Lin Chuqing’s mind, and her eyes brightened.

“President Xu, not only are you a legend, but I’ve also heard that your eldest daughter is a business prodigy.”

“Oh, you mean Mingkong? That girl is completely focused on her career. Ever since she graduated, she’s been working tirelessly and hasn’t even come home to visit…”

A trace of sadness slipped into Xu Hao’s voice.

Lin Chuqing’s expression stiffened.

She had intended to make small talk to build rapport before bringing up the topic of collaboration.

Now, she had messed up.

If only she had mentioned one of Xu Hao’s other daughters instead.

While she excelled in business strategy, social skills weren’t her strong suit.

If the Chu family hadn’t pushed her to the brink, she wouldn’t have stooped to flattering someone in the first place.

She forced a smile and said,

“Maybe she just wants to make a name for herself first. Once she achieves success, she’ll return home.”

“You may be right…”

Xu Hao smiled meaningfully.

No matter how his eldest daughter felt about him, escaping his grasp wasn’t an option.

After all, he still needed to gather all seven daughters to summon the dragon.

Sensing Xu Hao’s sadness over his daughters not visiting, Lin Chuqing tactfully changed the subject and steered the conversation toward business.

Listening to Xu Hao’s insights, she found herself gaining valuable knowledge.

Time flew by, and half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.

After meeting the Ice Queen CEO and forming a decent impression of her, Xu Hao decided to take his leave.

However, just as he was about to stand up, he noticed Lin Chuqing hesitating.

“President Lin, is there something on your mind?” he asked.

Lin Chuqing bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, but then spoke up.

“President Xu, you mentioned that your company is expanding its electric vehicle production. Would you be interested in collaborating with my company?”

Xu Hao immediately understood what she was getting at.

He had come today just to observe her, not to plan out how to win her over.

But now that she had brought up collaboration, his interest was piqued.

“A partnership?” Xu Hao murmured, raising an eyebrow.

His gaze swept the room. Many people were watching them.

Lin Chuqing instantly caught on.

Xu Hao hadn’t outright rejected her proposal, which meant he was open to the idea.

However, since she was currently being targeted by the Chu family, openly agreeing to collaborate would be equivalent to declaring war against them.

Even a billion-dollar corporation like the Xu Group wouldn’t take such a risk so easily.

“President Xu, perhaps the tea in the main hall isn’t to your taste. Would you like to move to my office? I have Da Hong Pao tea for you to enjoy.”

“Well, let’s check it out then…”

Xu Hao smiled faintly.

So, this Ice Queen isn’t entirely clueless.

Lin Chuqing’s face lit up with delight. She immediately gestured for Xu Hao to follow her to the office.

Zheng Feifan Steps In

But Zheng Feifan wasn’t having any of it.

From the moment Xu Hao arrived, he had been on high alert.

Despite Xu Hao’s age, his skills in charming women were unmatched.

Take Xiao Wanling, the beautiful landlady—she had only stayed at Xu Hao’s house for a few days before he seduced her completely, making her willingly become his mistress.

There was no way Zheng Feifan was going to let Xu Hao steal his brother’s fiancée.

His sharp gaze locked onto Xu Hao.

The moment Xu Hao made any improper move toward Lin Chuqing, Zheng Feifan was ready to strike.

But Xu Hao didn’t make any bold advances in public.

Still, watching Xu Hao have such an engaging conversation with the Ice Queen CEO—someone who had barely exchanged words with Zheng Feifan before—filled him with rage.

The moment he heard Lin Chuqing invite Xu Hao to her office for a private discussion, he immediately stepped forward to intervene.

There was no way he would allow a man and a woman to be alone in a room together.

His experience with the landlady had left a lasting trauma.

Zheng Feifan had promised his brother to look after his fiancée.

After spending time with Lin Chuqing, he had also grown captivated by her beauty and elegance.

He couldn’t stand by and watch her fall for Xu Hao’s tricks.

“What’s so secret about a business partnership? Why do you need to discuss it privately in your office?”

Xu Hao smirked, not even sparing Zheng Feifan a glance.

He picked up his tea and took a slow sip.

He didn’t need to say a word.

The Ice Queen CEO would speak on his behalf.

Lin Chuqing’s face darkened as she turned to Zheng Feifan.

“What do you mean? Since when do you have a say in this? Didn’t you hear me invite President Xu for tea?”

Her voice carried a sharp chill.

Back then, it was Zheng Feifan who had dragged her into trouble with the Chu family.

Now, by sheer luck, she had found a way to secure funding.

And yet, here he was again, trying to stand in her way.

Could he be a spy from a rival company, sent to ruin her business?

A flicker of doubt crossed Lin Chuqing’s mind as she stared at Zheng Feifan.

Meeting Lin Chuqing’s suspicious gaze, Zheng Feifan’s mouth twitched as he explained,

“That’s not what I meant. Xu Hao isn’t a good person—he hides a dagger behind his smile. I’m afraid that if you’re alone with him, he might harm you…”

Lin Chuqing was momentarily stunned.

She glanced at Xu Hao, who was sipping tea calmly, exuding an air of elegance and composure. Then she looked at Zheng Feifan, who, despite wearing a neatly pressed security uniform, still appeared somewhat disheveled.

Who exactly was the bad guy here?

Xu Hao spoke at that moment, letting out a bitter laugh.

“Xiao Fan, I was a good friend of your father, and you used to call me Uncle Xu.”

“I felt deeply sorry seeing you struggle to move on after your father’s accident…”

Hearing Xu Hao deliberately bring up how he used to call him uncle, Zheng Feifan’s eyes burned with anger, and his teeth clenched tightly.

“Stop pretending! If you really—”

“Enough already!”

Before he could finish, Lin Chuqing interrupted him.

From Xu Hao’s words, she had pieced together the situation.

Xu Hao had known Zheng Feifan’s father, and the two had once had a good relationship.

Zheng Feifan had even called Xu Hao “Uncle,” which meant they were once close.

But at some point, Zheng Feifan started blaming Xu Hao for his father’s death, leading to their fallout.

Lin Chuqing didn’t know the full truth and had no stance to judge.

However, judging by Xu Hao’s demeanor, he hardly seemed like the kind of person who would betray a friend.

Watching Zheng Feifan cause a scene, damage her company’s reputation, and offend Xu Hao, she had had enough.

Right now, Xu Hao was her honored guest and her hope of breaking free from the Chu family’s suppression.

“Leave. Now. Immediately. I don’t want to see you again.”

Her voice was ice-cold.

Zheng Feifan fell silent. Eventually, he unclenched his fists and walked off reluctantly. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Lin Chuqing turned back to Xu Hao with an apologetic smile.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Xu. This person was already fired, but he keeps lingering around. I hope he didn’t cause you too much trouble.”

Xu Hao waved a hand dismissively.

“It’s not worth fussing over.”

Lin Chuqing led Xu Hao to a nearby office.

As Xu Hao walked past, Zheng Feifan nearly lost control, barely restraining the urge to strike.

So damn fake.

He knew Xu Hao’s true nature.

Watching him put on a refined and gentlemanly act in front of the woman he liked made his blood boil.

While Zheng Feifan glared at Xu Hao, Bai Ling was also keeping a close watch on him, ready to act at a moment’s notice. She would not allow her master to be harmed in any way.

In the end, Zheng Feifan did nothing, forced to watch as Xu Hao and Lin Chuqing entered the office. The door shut with a soft “click.”

Zheng Feifan’s face turned as dark as the bottom of a burnt pot.

[Ding… Zheng Feifan is filled with resentment. Emotion points +888…]

[Ding… Zheng Feifan is seething with rage. Emotion points +999…]

Inside the office, Lin Chuqing brewed Da Hong Pao tea for Xu Hao.

Serving fine tea was a common tactic among businesspeople. She had learned to prepare quality tea for meetings, hoping it would leave a good impression and help seal deals.

Unfortunately, her tea-making skills were barely passable.

Of course, Xu Hao had no intention of taking over and demonstrating his own skills—that would be pointless.

In the past, he had showcased his tea-making abilities for other women, guiding them step by step. This had helped him accumulate emotion points.

Xiao Wanling had been mesmerized when she saw him making tea and had eagerly asked him for lessons.

That had been the first step in winning her over.

But making tea for this icy CEO? That would bring him no benefits—he’d just look like a desperate bootlicker.

Hmm… maybe he could earn a few shocked emotion points.

Nah. He already had over a hundred thousand. Not worth it.

Sleeping with the protagonist’s stepmother or training his daughters would earn far more.

Winning over this cold CEO would require a long-term strategy.

“Mr. Xu, I sincerely want to collaborate. I’m open to negotiations on the price.”

After brewing the tea, Lin Chuqing looked at Xu Hao expectantly.

“I understand your current situation, Ms. Lin, but you may not be aware of something—I’m actually a good friend of the Chu family’s head, Chu Xiong.”

Xu Hao lifted his teacup and blew on it gently.

Lin Chuqing frowned.

She suddenly recalled how Chu Xiaotian had addressed Xu Hao as “Uncle Xu” earlier.

That meant Xu Hao had a close relationship with the Chu family.

The Chu family was actively suppressing her company. How could Xu Hao possibly help her?

A bitter feeling welled up inside her.

She had been hopeful when Xu Hao hadn’t immediately rejected her request.

But now, that hope had been crushed.

Xu Hao sipped his tea in silence, watching Lin Chuqing’s disappointment grow.

When he decided the timing was just right, he chuckled.

“I said I have a good relationship with the Chu family, but I never said I wouldn’t work with you.”
