Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 124
Chapter 124
Calling Him Brother-in-Law?
Xu Hao grabbed Li Yunshu’s hand and spoke in a guilty tone.
“Yunshu, I’m sorry. I drank too much last night, and you were right beside me...”
Here it comes.
Marching forward with its devilish steps.
The classic excuse of a scumbag.
“It wasn’t my fault; it was the alcohol.”
Ignoring the facts—does that mean you’re not at fault?
Would I have reached out to you if you hadn’t been so close?
Li Yunshu had never intended to blame Xu Hao.
Hearing his remorseful tone, she suddenly recalled how she had unknowingly ended up beside him last night...
And she hadn’t resisted.
For a moment, she even blamed herself.
Remembering last night’s scene, her face burned with embarrassment. She stammered,
“I-It’s okay, Uncle Xu. Let’s just consider it a misunderstanding.”
“No.”
Li Yunshu froze, completely bewildered.
Xu Hao spoke with firm conviction.
“How can we just call it a misunderstanding? That would be unfair to you. I have to take responsibility.”
“Today, I’ll take you home and announce our relationship…”
Li Yunshu’s mind went blank.
She pictured a scene where Uncle Xu held her hand and publicly declared they were together.
She felt touched…
But then, she snapped back to reality with a jolt.
It was a beautiful fantasy, but unrealistic.
If Uncle Xu really did that—announcing a relationship with a mere employee—
His reputation would be ruined.
His family would be destroyed.
And she would be labeled as someone who seduced her boss, facing endless scorn.
Hadn’t she just given her best friend the same advice yesterday morning?
This was nothing but an accident.
Uncle Xu had always been kind to her.
How could she let him destroy himself over this?
She quickly spoke, panic evident in her voice.
“No!”
Realizing she sounded too intense, she softened her tone.
“Please don’t announce it, Uncle Xu. It would harm your reputation. Let’s just treat it as an accident.”
Xu Hao grabbed her hand tightly.
“I don’t care about my reputation. I…”
Before he could finish, Li Yunshu interrupted him.
“I don’t mind. As long as you don’t send me away, I’m fine.”
“Silly girl… Why would I send you away?”
Xu Hao gently tapped her delicate nose.
His gaze deepened with emotion.
“Yunshu, even if you don’t want me to take responsibility, I can’t just ignore this.”
“After spending so many days with you, I’ve come to admire your kindness, sincerity, and innocence. You’ve entered my heart—I’ve already fallen for you.”
“If someone does something wrong, they must take responsibility. I won’t run away from this. I won’t make it public if you don’t want me to, but don’t reject the way I want to make it up to you.”
“Remember, this isn’t about guilt or making amends. It’s because I like you. And when you love someone, you give to them willingly.”
Xu Hao’s expression was sincere.
Li Yunshu was stunned.
She understood what he meant.
Uncle Xu felt guilty and wanted to compensate her.
But to ensure she accepted it, he deliberately said he liked her.
Yet, looking at his deep, affectionate gaze, she found herself dazed.
Her heart pounded wildly.
She suddenly recalled what her best friend had told her—
“If you love someone, why care about what others think?”
At that moment, Li Yunshu’s emotions erupted.
Blushing, she whispered,
“Actually, Uncle Xu... I like you too…”
“Really, Yunshu?”
Xu Hao excitedly grabbed her shoulders.
Li Yunshu shyly nodded, her face turning as red as blood.
“Yunshu.”
Hearing her name, Li Yunshu looked up in confusion.
And then…
She was speechless.
[Ding… Li Yunshu feels uneasy. Emotion Value +789…]
[Ding… Li Yunshu feels fear. Emotion Value +987…]
“Yunshu, why are you crying?” freewebnoveℓ.com
Seeing her tears, Xu Hao asked curiously.
Li Yunshu stammered,
“I… I don’t know…”
Alright.
She was a crybaby.
It seemed he shouldn’t meet her alone next time.
He’d just have hotel staff deliver their meals instead.
After finishing their lunch, they finally left the hotel.
Meanwhile, Li Xiao had been lying in an alley for an entire night and half the morning.
Passersby saw him sitting there—his clothes tattered, his face haggard, his hair messy.
With bloodstains on him, he looked like a beggar who had not only failed to get food but had also been beaten.
Compassion surged in people’s hearts.
One by one, they tossed some spare change in front of him.
By noon, a small mountain of scattered coins had piled up.
Nearby beggars were stunned.
This guy was insane.
In just one morning, he had earned more than they made in a month.
A ragged old beggar approached him with admiration.
“Kid, how did you do it? Teach me a trick or two. We can all make money together.”
“Don’t worry, I won’t let you teach me for free. From now on, I’ll protect you on this street…”
He patted Li Xiao’s shoulder, his eyes filled with envy as he gazed at the pile of money.
Clearly, this kid was a professional.
He wanted to learn a few skills.
But Li Xiao sat there with blank eyes, his gaze lifeless, staring at the hotel entrance without blinking—
Like someone who hadn’t eaten for days, desperately yearning for a meal inside.
So pitiful.
Anyone passing by would feel compelled to give him some money.
Now this was professional-level begging.
Even though Li Xiao felt dead inside, he couldn’t help but twitch at the old beggar’s words.
Teach you how to beg? Seriously?
Can’t you see I’m heartbroken?
He wasn’t staring at the hotel because he was hungry.
He was waiting for a glimpse of his sister.
But she hadn’t come out.
Any last hope he had was now shattered.
His sister, Li Yunshu, had been completely taken by that scumbag Xu Hao…
Even if he tried to comfort himself by thinking she was just resting in the hotel, it didn’t make sense.
No decent person would stay inside that long in the morning.
She still had to go to work.
He didn’t even need to guess.
She was still asleep.
Xu Hao had definitely worn her out last night.
The thought of his pure and beautiful sister being toyed with by Xu Hao…
Li Xiao seethed with rage.
Just then, he saw two figures emerging from the hotel entrance.
In an instant, he sprang to his feet.
The old beggar beside him nearly pissed himself.
A second ago, this kid looked like he had lost everything.
Now, he was suddenly full of energy?
Damn.
This guy was a true master.
The old beggar made up his mind—
He had to become his apprentice.
“Little brother... no... big brother, I haven’t eaten in three days and nights.”
“Big brother, please have mercy on me and teach me a few tricks...”
Li Xiao had no time to deal with him. He immediately ran toward the two figures ahead.
One of them was his sister.
The other—who else but Xu Hao?
Seeing his sister walking slowly, her brows slightly furrowed, Li Xiao’s heart shattered.
It was her first time.
How could Xu Hao be so ruthless?
Sure, his sister-in-law had gone through the same before.
But at least she was in her 30s, mature enough to handle it.
His sister had just graduated from college!
Li Xiao wished he could tear Xu Hao to pieces...
But he couldn’t.
Because the moment he got close, Xu Hao’s bodyguard, Bai Ling, had already stepped in front of him.
A strong presence radiated from Bai Ling, warning him not to act recklessly.
Li Xiao called out in anguish,
“Sis!”
Li Yunshu frowned as she walked, her mind replaying the events from earlier.
She had always been a well-behaved girl.
It was only after she became close to her best friend, Xia Qingge, that she learned about certain things.
Her friend often brought up these topics, educating her on matters she had never thought of before…
But even then, her first instinct had been to think about the bedroom.
After being with Xu Hao…
She was stunned.
It was like stepping into a whole new world…
She was lost in thought when a disheveled figure suddenly rushed toward her.
Startled, she instinctively moved closer to Xu Hao, grabbing his arm.
When she heard the man call her “Sis,” she looked at him with suspicion.
After a few moments, she finally recognized him.
Wasn’t this her useless little brother?
How did he end up looking like this?
Thinking about how this useless brother had nearly gotten her fired by Uncle Xu,
Li Yunshu’s expression darkened.
Her frown deepened, and her tone turned icy.
“What do you want?”
Seeing his sister clinging to Xu Hao, Li Xiao’s heart ached.
“Sis, I warned you a long time ago that he had bad intentions for you. Why did you—”
He gritted his teeth, frustrated beyond words.
He had told her so many times that Xu Hao was after her.
Yet she still gave herself to him so easily.
Yes, gave herself away for free.
Looking at her now, she didn’t seem like she had been forced.
If she had been threatened or coerced, he might have felt a little better.
But he had already made Xu Hao’s intentions clear.
She just refused to listen.
That feeling—of doing everything for someone’s sake, only for them to completely ignore you—was unbearable.
[Ding... Li Xiao is heartbroken. Emotion Value +741...]
[Ding... Li Xiao’s mindset collapses. Emotion Value +852...]
Hearing his words, Li Yunshu’s face flushed red.
Had their relationship been exposed so quickly?
Even though it was just her useless brother who found out,
he was still family.
Would he tell their parents?
If Mom and Dad found out about her and Uncle Xu, it would be a disaster.
Taking a deep breath, she forced herself to stay calm.
“You misunderstood,” she said. “Uncle Xu and I were just discussing work at the hotel. It’s not what you think...”
Li Xiao’s eyes widened in disbelief.
His sister was clinging to Xu Hao’s arm, her cheeks flushed, eyes glistening.
Her whole demeanor exuded a charm unique to women who had experienced love.
Did she really think he was an idiot?
“Discussing work at the hotel”?
Yeah, sure.
More like discussing work in bed.
Li Yunshu: Actually, the sofa works too.
Li Xiao nearly coughed up blood from frustration.
He steadied himself.
The damage was already done—his sister had crossed the point of no return.
Now, he could only look ahead.
This time, he would just take it as being bitten by a dog.
But he absolutely could not let his sister fall deeper.
He knew exactly what Xu Hao was after.
His sister’s best friend lived with her.
Both of them were now Xu Hao’s women.
If Xu Hao sweet-talked them a little more,
wouldn’t he just have both of them in his bed?
Li Xiao had considered giving up.
His sister had already given herself to Xu Hao—maybe he should just let it be.
But he knew exactly what kind of person Xu Hao was.
On the surface, he seemed gentle and refined.
But behind closed doors, he was ruthless and cunning.
And he had so many other women.
A complete scumbag.
Could his sister really have a good life with him?
No.
He had to pull her out of this pit of fire.
“Sis... Before you say anything else, can you at least let go of his arm first?”
Only then did Li Yunshu realize she was still holding onto Uncle Xu.
Feeling a little embarrassed, she quickly let go.
Even she didn’t believe the words coming out of her mouth.
Since she couldn’t avoid it, she had to face it head-on.
As long as he didn’t tell their parents, that was all that mattered.
“Yes, it’s exactly as you think. I’m with Uncle Xu…”
After saying that, she shyly glanced at Xu Hao.
It didn’t matter anyway—her brother was a useless nobody. Even if he knew, it wouldn’t change anything.
After a brief pause, Li Yunshu continued,
“It’s not that Uncle Xu made a move on me. Something unexpected happened between us, and besides… I like him too.”
“We are truly in love…”
The more she spoke, the bolder she became.
By the end, her embarrassment had completely faded, replaced by a radiant smile full of happiness.
She made it clear—Xu Hao hadn’t forced her. She was with him willingly.
Then, she revealed her real purpose.
“So, if you still see me as your sister, don’t tell Mom and Dad…”
Li Xiao’s chest tightened violently.
Something unexpected happened? That’s why they got together?
That had to be another one of Xu Hao’s schemes.
Watching his sister, completely unaware of the truth—sold off and still counting money for her captor—
Li Xiao felt a surge of rage.
A mouthful of blood rose up his throat, but he forced it back down.
Seeing the determination on her face, he knew that if he tried to use their parents to threaten her,
she would definitely turn against him.
“Fine, I won’t tell Mom and Dad…”
Li Xiao swallowed his pain and spoke.
But then, he changed the subject.
“But… you have to agree to one condition—move back home.”
“Mom and Dad are really worried about you living alone outside.”
Breaking her away from Xu Hao immediately was impossible.
He had to take it step by step.
Getting her back home was the first move.
Separating her from that best friend—he couldn’t let Xu Hao’s two-bird plan succeed.
Li Yunshu frowned.
She had moved out precisely because she didn’t want to see Li Xiao.
How could she possibly move back?
Besides, she got along well with her best friend.
Moving out after just one day and then suddenly moving back?
That would offend people.
She rejected him outright.
“No way. I live with my best friend—it’s very safe. Tell Mom and Dad not to worry.”
“Safe?”
Li Xiao was furious.
“Do you even know that your best frien—”
Cough, cough!
Before he could finish saying “is Xu Hao’s woman too”, a few coughs interrupted him.
He swallowed his words.
His eyes burned with hatred as he glared at Xu Hao.
If looks could kill, Xu Hao would have died a hundred times over.
Xu Hao, however, only smiled at him.
“Yunshu is right. We are truly in love. I’m sure Xiao will understand us, won’t you?”
His tone was gentle,
but his eyes were full of warning.
Li Xiao’s eyelid twitched.
Understand?
Understand your damn face.
Like he didn’t know how Xu Hao had tricked his sister into bed?
True love, my ass.
“Listen to your sister. For now, let’s not tell your parents about this.”
After saying that, Xu Hao turned to Li Yunshu.
“Alright, Yunshu, let’s go back. You don’t have to work today—just rest at home for the day.”
Li Yunshu’s face turned bright red.
She shot Xu Hao a playful glare, as if saying—
It’s all your fault.
Before leaving, Xu Hao patted Li Xiao on the shoulder.
“Like it or not, I’m your brother-in-law now. Be good, okay? If you ever run into trouble, you can always come to me.”
As Xu Hao and Li Yunshu walked away,
her soft, bashful voice drifted back faintly—
“Brother-in-law? That’s so embarrassing…”
Li Xiao could no longer hold it in.
He spat out a mouthful of blood, clutching his chest, his face twisted in agony.
Pain.
Unbearable pain!
