Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist's Mother to Have Children-Chapter 71

Chapter 71

“Welcome to Blood Slaughter.”

Lao Mo smiled, but the Brotherhood Gang members couldn’t force a smile back. Their faces darkened.

Suddenly, they noticed the woman who had been quietly watching from the sidelines. She now held a camera, pointing it straight at them.

Second Brother, always observant, frowned. His heart sank.

“What are you doing?”

“Just recording the bond between brothers,” she said lightly. “Relax. As long as you don’t cause any trouble, this video won’t be leaked.”

Their expressions changed dramatically.

Fury burned in their eyes.

It wasn’t enough that they had been forced to betray a brother—now there was evidence.

If this video ever got out, their reputation would be ruined.

Not only would they lose their place in the underworld, but their families would also be dragged into it.

One video was enough to shatter all their thoughts of rebellion.

This wasn’t just blackmail—it was a lifelong leash.

They felt suffocated.

Xu Hao had instructed Lao Mo to subdue them, not to strengthen Blood Slaughter.

These men weren’t valuable in a fight.

If anything, they might stab them in the back at a crucial moment.

After all, they had been forced into this.

No, the real purpose was to use them against their leader—and against Chen Mo, the protagonist.

The protagonist and his master were strong. Blood Slaughter wasn’t their match.

So, Xu Hao had to resort to tricks.

And forcing these brothers to turn on each other?

Now that would be entertaining.

Xu Family Villa—

In the courtyard, Xu Hao stood behind Xiao Wanling, guiding her hands as she practiced tea-making.

His chest pressed against her back.

The atmosphere was charged with intimacy.

At first, she had been shy, but gradually, she got used to it.

Hand-in-hand teaching worked wonders.

She could feel herself improving—her tea-making skills were advancing rapidly.

But being so close led to… other issues.

Like now.

She stood in front of him, focused on brewing tea.

He held her from behind, his hands guiding hers.

She had suggested standing because when she sat, he had to bend over to reach her hands, which looked uncomfortable for him.

What she didn’t know was—

Xu Hao had the Overwhelming Endurance buff.

He could bend over for a day and a night without breaking a sweat.

By trying to be considerate, she had unknowingly put herself in a more awkward situation.

She felt a warmth against her back, and suddenly, her face flushed.

At that moment, she finally understood why Xu Hongzhuang had once complained about her stunning stepmother being too loud.

Curiosity flickered in her mind.

How did Xu Hongzhuang endure this?

Didn’t she feel embarrassed?

Oh, right. They were father and daughter. That must be why.

But she wasn’t the same.

This was too mortifying.

How was she supposed to focus?

As Xiao Wanling’s thoughts spiraled into chaos, Xu Hao’s deep, magnetic voice sounded in her ear.

“Sorry, Wanling… You’re just too beautiful. I can’t control it…”

They had both been pretending nothing was wrong.

Before, she had just felt shy.

Now that he had said it outright, her face turned crimson.

If there were a hole in the ground, she would have jumped into it without hesitation.

She wanted to disappear.

And yet…

A hint of joy bloomed in her heart.

He was calling her beautiful.

[Ding… Xiao Wanling is flustered. Emotion points +683.]

[Ding… Xiao Wanling is secretly delighted. Emotion points +596.]

Xu Hao smirked.

This wasn’t teaching.

This was harassment.

But Xiao Wanling, clueless, thought it was a natural reaction.

She had no choice but to endure it.

And this—

This was his strategy.

Step by step, testing boundaries.

Until, finally, he conquered.

After guiding her hands to complete the tea-making process, Xu Hao released her and spoke righteously.

“Wanling, now try it on your own. Just follow my technique.”

Xiao Wanling looked completely dazed, her mind still a mess.

She stared at the teapot, then at Xu Hao.

Technique?

What technique?

She had no idea what he had just taught her.

She had been too distracted.

She had even forgotten everything she had learned before.

“I-I need to use the restroom!”

Feeling unbearably flustered under Xu Hao’s gaze, she blurted the excuse and hurried away.

[Ding… Xiao Wanling is overwhelmed with embarrassment. Emotion points +826.]

Xu Hao withdrew his teasing gaze and walked alone to his study.

He picked up three sheets of paper he had prepared in advance.

Bang, bang, bang…

He knocked on the door of his daughters’ study.

“Come in.”

Xu Hongzhuang’s flustered voice came from inside.

Xu Hao pushed the door open and stepped in.

He immediately noticed Xu Hongzhuang quickly wiping away the tears at the corners of her eyes.

She had been blacklisted by Zhao Media. With Xu Hao’s full support, the fight had been evenly matched.

Zhao Media had hired internet trolls to smear her, but she had supporters defending her as well.

However, a few days ago, everything changed.

Zhao’s father blamed her for his son’s death and ramped up the blacklist efforts several times over.

Xu Group, despite being worth hundreds of billions, wasn’t in the entertainment industry’s inner circle.

Plus, Xu Hao had deliberately held back, even letting himself lose ground.

As a result, the smear campaign became overwhelmingly one-sided.

With the intensified ban, Xu Hao could no longer support her, meaning her dream of becoming a superstar was officially over.

Xu Hao had been right about one thing—

Xu Hongzhuang had poured endless effort and sweat into her dream of becoming a top celebrity.

Now, with that dream shattered, sorrow consumed her.

The only thing keeping her distracted had been Xu Hao’s piano lessons. Her skills had improved rapidly in just a few days.

But now that Xu Hao had “lost,” she was dragged back to reality.

For days, she had been drowning in depression, unable to eat, often wiping away tears in secret.

Xu Hao saw that the timing was just right.

So, he brought her a way out.

“Hongzhuang, crying by yourself again?”

He stepped closer and gently ruffled her hair.

“I already told you, didn’t I? I’ll find a way. I won’t let your dream shatter.”

Xu Hongzhuang forced a weak smile.

She didn’t take his words seriously, assuming he was just comforting her.

“Oh? You don’t believe me? Then take a look at this.”

Xu Hao placed three sheets of paper in front of her.

Each sheet contained a song—

Massively popular hits from his past life.

Songs that didn’t exist in this world yet.

Once released, they would shake the industry.

Zhao Media’s ban on her was simply preventing her works from being aired.

And since she was only known for her piano skills, not for hit songs, she was barely considered part of the entertainment world.

She had risen quickly but hadn’t built a solid fan base yet, making her easy to suppress.

But breaking through this suppression was simple—

Play more renowned piano pieces.

Sing a few sensational songs.

And with Xu Hao providing the right channels, Zhao Media wouldn’t be able to blacklist her even if they wanted to.

She already had the piano pieces—Xu Hao had taught her plenty.

Now, all she needed were a few hit songs.

“Under the Sea,” “The Wind Rises,” “Red Lingering.”

These were all viral hits in his previous world.

Relying on his memory and master-level music skills, Xu Hao perfectly recreated them.

One song was healing.

One was wild and passionate.

One would ignite a craze for theatrical vocals.

With these three, Xu Hongzhuang was guaranteed to explode in popularity.

She stared blankly at the titles on the paper.

Since when could Xu Hao write songs?

Her curiosity deepened as she kept reading.

Gradually…

Her expression grew more and more serious.

By the end, her face could barely contain her excitement.

She finished one song, then immediately moved on to the next.

Then the third.

When she finally looked up, she was trembling with exhilaration.

These songs were masterpieces.

Each one was a phenomenon-level hit, destined to go viral.

If she released all three at once, it would be unprecedented.

Suppressing her excitement, she turned to Xu Hao, staring at him intently.

“Where did these come from?”

“I wrote them over the past few nights.”

Xu Hao lied effortlessly, his expression calm.

To make his story more convincing, he even added the detail about staying up late, subtly implying she owed him for the effort.

In reality, he had written all three songs in just minutes.

What?

This was deception?

How could this be considered deception?

It was a well-intended lie—

A way to bring his daughter back home.

Xu Hongzhuang stood frozen for a moment before blurting out, “You can write songs?”

“I know a little,” Xu Hao replied with a slight pause.

After all, his music skills were only at the master level. Compared to grandmaster and god-tier levels, “a little” wasn’t a lie.

Xu Hongzhuang felt her brain short-circuit.

She didn’t believe for a second that Xu Hao only “knew a little” about music.

Anyone who could write such timeless, era-defining songs had to have an extraordinary level of musical talent.

“Are these songs… all written for me?” Xu Hongzhuang asked cautiously.

“Of course. If it weren’t for you being depressed all day, why would a billionaire CEO like me waste time writing songs?”

Xu Hongzhuang was instantly overwhelmed with emotion.

Xu Hao didn’t even like playing the piano, yet he had been willing to teach her personally.

Now, he couldn’t bear to see her upset and had gone so far as to write three songs just for her—

All to help her break through Zhao Media’s ban.

If she remained indifferent to such fatherly love, she wouldn’t be human.

At this moment, she no longer resisted calling him “Dad.”

But after more than twenty years of never saying it, the words still felt awkward and stuck in her throat.

Instead, she simply whispered, “Thank you.”

[Ding… Xu Hongzhuang is deeply moved. Emotion value +896…]

“Thank me for what? Just try singing it now so I can guide you on any weaknesses,” Xu Hao waved his hand with a fleeting smile.

“Zhao Media wants to blacklist you? Let’s see how they manage that after these three songs go public.”

He knew he had already won her over.

“Okay.”

Xu Hongzhuang nodded and picked up The Wind Rises, humming softly according to the notations—

“Walking and stopping along this road,

Following the traces of my drifting youth,

Just before stepping out of the station,

I hesitated for a moment…”

There was no denying her talent—her voice was sweet and captivating.

After finishing the song, she looked at Xu Hao nervously.

It was her first time singing it, and she knew there were many flaws.

She just hoped she hadn’t disappointed him.

“You should raise your voice here, add more emotion there, and this part—sing it like this… Like this, like that…”

Xu Hao patiently pointed out each area for improvement.

Xu Hongzhuang’s eyes lit up.

This was master-level critique.

And he still claimed he only “knew a little” about music?

She was glad she hadn’t believed him earlier.

Under Xu Hao’s guidance, she became more skilled.

“I’ll play the accompaniment. Try again.”

—

“I was once lost in the vast world,

Drowning in dreamlike whispers,

Truth or lies, I no longer struggle,

Nor fear the laughter…”

The elegant piano melody intertwined with her mesmerizing voice, slowly drifting out of the study.

—

Xiao Wanling had just freshened up in the bathroom.

Her cheeks were still warm as she wondered how to face Xu Hao next.

But as soon as she stepped into the living room, she heard a song from the study upstairs.

Her eyes brightened.

How beautiful.

Strange—she didn’t recognize this song.

Had Hongzhuang composed something new?

Curious, she headed upstairs and listened outside the study.

When the song ended, she finally pushed the door open and stepped inside.

Her eyes immediately landed on Xu Hao, sitting at the piano.

Her face flushed, and she quickly turned away.

Then, noticing a piece of paper in Xu Hongzhuang’s hands, she walked over to take a look—

And gasped.

“Hongzhuang, you’re so talented! This song is amazing! You’re going to be a superstar!”

She could already imagine the sensation this song would cause.

“Um… Wanling, you’ve got it wrong. I didn’t write it.”

Xu Hongzhuang’s face turned red with embarrassment.

She glanced at her friend, then motioned toward Xu Hao.

“No… No way!”

Xiao Wanling was stunned, her eyes widening in disbelief.

“Oh my god, this song—this guaranteed viral hit—was written by Uncle Xu again?”

Did he max out every single skill tree?

This was beyond genius.

“Not just this one. There are two more,” Xu Hongzhuang added, pulling out the other songs.

Xiao Wanling’s shock deepened as she read them.

Three songs.

Each one an era-defining masterpiece.

A direct power move.

“Uncle Xu, you’re unbelievable!” Her eyes sparkled with admiration.

[Ding… Xiao Wanling feels deep admiration. Emotion value +864…]

—

Once Xu Hongzhuang had mostly mastered the first song, Xu Hao began teaching her the other two.

Xiao Wanling stayed to learn as well.

She was convinced these songs would explode in popularity.

Might as well master them early before anyone else.

The sense of achievement was thrilling.

—

Ring, ring, ring…

Just as they finished practicing all three songs, Xu Hao’s phone rang.

He glanced at the caller ID—Wang Xueying.

Without a change in expression, he picked up the phone and stepped out of the study, closing the door behind him.

“Chairman Xu, I can’t thank you enough! If it weren’t for you finding a specialist, I wouldn’t have known what to do.”

“We’re friends. Helping out is no big deal. How’s your mother doing?”

“The surgery was a success. She was just discharged earlier. Oh, right, Chairman Xu, are you free tomorrow? My mom and I would love to treat you to a meal to thank you in person.”

“No need to thank me, but a meal sounds fine. Let’s keep it casual this time—no fancy hotels.”

Xu Hao made it seem like he was thinking of her.

Wang Xueying’s affection for him had already grown considerably.

Now, it was time to take things further.

If it were just the two of them, he was confident he could win her over completely.

But with her mother tagging along, he wasn’t interested in the hassle of escorting them back and forth.

Wang Xueying, however, misunderstood his reasoning.

She thought he was worried about her spending too much money on a five-star hotel.

Her heart warmed.

“Then… How about this? I’ll buy groceries tomorrow and cook for you at home?”

“Now that’s an idea,” Xu Hao said, intrigued.

Last time, he had “settled” things with Xia Qingge at her place.

And now, he’d be going to Wang Xueying’s home?

Was this some sort of unspoken agreement between them?
