At The Beginning Of The Novel, The Villain Forced The Protagonist’s Step-Mom To Bear His Children

Chapter 200: Daughter’s Eyes Changed! Hang Her Up and Beat Her! Lolita Mother Seduces:

After an exhausting afternoon of mountain climbing, Luo Yan was drained. He watched as Xu Hao hugged and kissed his aunt, surrounded by the warmth and harmony of her family. Yet, he could only stand there like an outsider, snapping pictures from the sidelines.

Who could bear such a sight?

Had he not grown up in the darkness of the underworld, sharpening his resilience, he might have already collapsed under the weight of his emotions. His anger simmered, accumulating bit by bit, waiting for the moment to erupt completely.

Meanwhile, Xu Hao had reaped immense benefits from the afternoon.

The little girl, though still shy, was in a great mood. On the other hand, Luo Yan was brimming with suppressed fury. All of them had been swayed by their emotions.

Refusing to educate his daughter and disciple had been the right choice. The Queen of Law was already in his grasp, though she had yet to be fully conquered. The emotional points she had provided during this period was the highest, and Xu Hao wouldn’t miss the chance to harvest it.

After their hike, Xu Hao accompanied them back to the Yu family residence. Following a warm dinner, Luo Yan also returned. He had planned to wait until Xu Hao left before complaining to his aunt about his wicked deeds.

However, to his dismay, Xu Hao showed no intention of leaving.

It seemed he was staying the night.

Luo Yan’s mood darkened further, especially when he heard the little girl’s words, which ignited his fury completely.

“What are you still doing here? Get out as far away as possible! Don’t disturb me and my parents while we’re sleeping…”

The little girl spoke angrily, her face full of displeasure.

Luo Yan’s mind instantly conjured the scene of Xu Hao sharing a bedroom with his aunt and her daughter.

He couldn’t stand it any longer. His voice was laced with anger as he lashed out, “Xu Hao, I’m telling you now! As long as I’m here, you won’t lay a finger on Xiao Tianxia!”

A beam of light flickered as the little girl looked at him in confusion.

Xu Hao’s expression carried a playful amusement.

Yu Yun, on the other hand, was filled with surprise and doubt.

“Xiao Yan, what are you talking about? What do you mean by this?”

Luo Yan couldn’t suppress his emotions anymore. His voice was heavy with grief as he spoke.

“Aunt, I’ve told you before—Xu Hao is a hypocrite! Why are you still involved with him?”

“Xu Hao is ambitious! He didn’t just set his sights on you—he even has his eyes on Xiaoyao!”

Yu Yun’s expression darkened slightly. She turned to Xu Hao, doubt flickering in her gaze.

Xu Hao, however, displayed just the right amount of indignation.

“I don’t know what I’ve done to offend you, but if you keep spouting baseless accusations, even if you’re Xiaoyao’s brother, I will sue you for defamation…”

“I have always treated Xiao Tianxia as my daughter. How could I possibly have such thoughts?”

His tone was righteous and impassioned.

Yu Yun withdrew her doubtful gaze and nodded slightly.

When she thought about it carefully, it was clear that Xu Hao wasn’t that kind of person. How old was her daughter? That was illegal!

Anyone guilty of such a thing should be arrested and executed on the spot!

Besides, Xu Hao was worth hundreds of billions. A man of such wealth and power wouldn’t be foolish enough to do something so reckless.

If he were really such a person, he wouldn’t have felt ashamed this morning and offered to compensate her.

Clearly, Xu Hao had no such intentions.

These were just baseless accusations from her sister’s son.

In an instant, Yu Yun’s gaze toward Luo Yan turned cold with disgust.

She didn’t care what grievances he had with Xu Hao.

That was between them.

But how dare he use her daughter to fabricate lies?

That was unforgivable.

“Dare you say otherwise? You were the one who said it yourself!” Luo Yan pointed at Xu Hao, his face livid, his whole body trembling with rage.

He vividly remembered how, after being knocked down by Xu Hao with a single punch, the man had openly declared that he wouldn’t spare his aunt and her daughter.

Yet now, he denied it completely!

This blatant denial was infuriating!

“Speak clearly! When did I ever say such a thing?” Xu Hao’s tone was aggressive, as though he had suffered a grave injustice.

If Luo Yan didn’t explain himself, he wouldn’t let him off easily.

Yu Yun’s heart filled with worry.

Luo Yan was, after all, her sister’s son.

If he truly angered Xu Hao—a billionaire—he would face dire consequences.

Luo Yan stared at Xu Hao, his eyes filled with resentment.

“It was the day you beat me up! I remember it clearly! I had to stay at home for ten whole days!”

Xu Hao merely smiled, his expression unchanged. His voice turned icy as he said,

“Nonsense. When did I ever hit you? Even if you had gone too far, at most, I would have let my bodyguards handle it. Why would I dirty my own hands?”

“You insist that I beat you? Then where’s your proof? If you were bedridden for over ten days, your injuries must have been serious. Show me your hospital records.”

Yu Yun nodded in agreement.

That made sense.

With Xu Hao’s status, if he truly wanted to deal with someone, why would he do it himself?

That would be beneath him.

A gentleman does not stand beneath a collapsing wall.

If he needed to get his hands dirty, then what was the point of having bodyguards?

Yu Yun turned her suspicious gaze toward Luo Yan.

She wanted to see if he could present any hospital documents.

If he couldn’t, it would prove he was lying.

Luo Yan was momentarily speechless.

When he saw his aunt’s expression, a chill crept into his heart.

In his eyes, Xu Hao appeared even more terrifying.

So this was what he had been waiting for all along!

At that time, Xu Hao had struck him using the inner strength of a Huajin expert.

His injuries had been internal, with no external wounds. He had been forced to slowly dissipate the damage with his own internal energy. No hospital would have been able to detect anything.

Which meant… he had never gone to the hospital at all.

“What? No way! You can’t even provide a hospital certificate?”

“If you’re going to frame me, at least be prepared! You were supposedly bedridden for ten days, and this is all you have to show for it?”

“I don’t believe you just magically recovered by resting. You can’t even produce the simplest proof, yet you’re trying to frame me? What can I even say to you…”

Xu Hao shook his head, feigning disappointment, as though lamenting Luo Yan’s lack of professionalism in scheming.

The little girl, seeing an opportunity, stepped forward to add fuel to the fire…

“Dad, you think too highly of him. If he were truly capable, he wouldn’t be like this.”

“He doesn’t seem very smart. Dad, why are you even wasting your time talking to someone like him? Just kick him out.”

“We’re going to bed. Please leave…”

Luo Yan clenched his teeth in frustration.

“Xu Hao, stop pretending! You used Hua Jin’s power back then and injured me internally. Going to the hospital was pointless!”

Xu Hao fell silent, his expression indifferent as if he couldn’t be bothered to respond.

Luo Yan’s anger flared even more.

“Aunt, don’t be fooled by him! He’s twisting the truth!”

Yu Yun had heard enough.

She was worried that if Luo Yan continued, he would provoke Xu Hao further. Standing up, she cut him off.

“Alright, Xiao Yan, you’re not in a good mental state right now. Go back and rest early.”

Luo Yan wanted to argue, but the cold look in Yu Yun’s eyes stopped him.

“I said go back.”

A powerful aura radiated from her—the presence of the Queen of Law.

Luo Yan hesitated, then swallowed his words.

He shot Xu Hao a resentful glare before leaving the Yu family home, feeling utterly helpless.

If he had known that Xu Hao was this eloquent, he would have waited until he left before talking to his aunt.

Now, his reputation in her eyes had taken a severe hit.

With Xu Hao around, convincing his aunt was impossible. He would have to find another opportunity.

The frustration burned within him.

No one believed him.

Xu Hao twisted everything, yet he could make people trust him.

[Ding… Luo Yan was extremely frustrated. emotional points +999…]

Yu Yun sighed, looking apologetic.

“Brother Hao, I apologize on Xiao Yan’s behalf. He’s just speaking nonsense. Please don’t take it to heart.”

She didn’t understand why Luo Yan harbored such hatred toward Xu Hao, but she could only try to smooth things over.

Xu Hao waved his hand dismissively.

“There are plenty of people who dislike me. I usually don’t care, but I can’t tolerate false rumors about me and Xiao Tian.”

“Just based on his slander, I could call the police and have him arrested.”

“But since he’s your relative, I’ll let it go…”

Xu Hao’s tone carried a sense of magnanimity, as if he was giving Yu Yun face by not pursuing the matter.

Yu Yun was touched.

The little girl also looked pleased.

“Mom and Dad, we don’t need to worry about him anymore. It’s not worth it.”

“Let’s just wash up and go to bed. I’m getting sleepy…”

She yawned, rubbing her eyes.

Xu Hao glanced at the time and said deliberately, “It’s already so late. I should head back. Thank you, Xiao Yun, for your hospitality today.”

When he mentioned “hospitality,” Yu Yun’s expression turned slightly awkward.

Wasn’t that an understatement?

Last night, they had even shared…

Hearing that Xu Hao was leaving, Xiao Mengli’s mood instantly soured. She grabbed his hand tightly.

“Dad, it’s so late. Where are you going? Isn’t this home?”

“Don’t you consider this place your home? Don’t you see Xiao Tian as your daughter?”

Her eyes turned red as if she was about to cry.

Xu Hao gently stroked her head to comfort her.

“Of course, Xiao Tian is adorable. Who wouldn’t want such a cute daughter?”

“Then does that mean… Dad is staying tonight?”

The little girl’s eyes sparkled with anticipation.

She turned to look at Yu Yun.

“Dad is leaving, Mom! Hurry up and make him stay! It’s dark outside, it’s dangerous for him to go out!”

Yu Yun: “…”

She actually wanted Xu Hao to leave.

Everything that had happened since last night felt too surreal.

She needed time alone to process it all.

But hearing her daughter’s words, she hesitated.

Xu Hao had indeed been good to their family.

Forcing him to leave so late would seem unkind.

After thinking for a moment, Yu Yun relented.

“Xiao Tian is right. It’s already late. Brother Hao, you should stay the night. There are plenty of guest rooms.”

Xu Hao hesitated for a moment before nodding in agreement.

The little girl cheered but then tilted her head in confusion.

“Why pick a guest room? Isn’t Mom’s bedroom available?”

“Mom, come on. We were together last night. Why are you still pretending? Are you afraid Dad will scold you?”

She muttered softly, but her words hit Yu Yun like a bolt of lightning.

Black lines appeared on Yu Yun’s forehead.

If Xu Hao weren’t standing there, she would have hung her daughter up and given her a good beating.

Xu Hao ended up staying.

Xiao Mengli became even more active, fetching toiletries and even preparing a basin of water for him to wash his feet.

After freshening up, Yu Yun prepared to clean a guest room for him.

But the little girl blocked her way.

Without hesitation, she pushed both of them into Yu Yun’s bedroom.

Bang!

The bedroom door slammed shut behind them.

Now, only Xu Hao and Yu Yun remained in the room.

The atmosphere was undeniably awkward.

The familiar setting, the ambiguous mood…

Yu Yun couldn’t help but recall the events of the previous night.

She was usually good with words, but right now, she didn’t know what to say.

In the end, Xu Hao was the one to break the silence.

“Xiao Yun, about last night… I’m sorry.”

“I promised to compensate you. This is a Marrow Cleansing Pill I had someone bring over. It can improve your physical condition…”

Xu Hao held out a small pill.

Yu Yun suddenly recalled that when Xu Hao had returned from their mountain hike, he had met with someone and exchanged a few things.

Even while relaxing and playing with them, he hadn’t forgotten his promise.

It was clear that he had put in effort for her.

A warmth spread through Yu Yun’s heart.

She wanted to refuse.

If it was something truly valuable, she couldn’t accept it…

But as she looked at the pill, a faint medicinal scent drifted into her nose, piquing her curiosity.

A single pill couldn’t be that precious, right?

After some hesitation, she reached out and took it.

She trusted Xu Hao enough to believe he wouldn’t poison her.

She prepared to swallow it when Xu Hao suddenly spoke.

“Go to the bathroom first…”

Yu Yun was confused.

It was just a pill—why did she need to go to the bathroom?

Although puzzled, she obediently went into the private bathroom inside the room and swallowed the pill.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill dissolved in her mouth, transforming into countless streams of warmth that coursed through her body, nourishing every limb.

Half an hour later…

Yu Yun stared at herself in the mirror, feeling as though she had been reborn. Her face was filled with shock.

How could this be a simple gift?

It was an absolute treasure!

Not only had it improved her skin, but it had also enhanced her physical fitness, making her look several years younger.

Xu Hao must not have many of these precious medicines.

Yet, he willingly gave her one.

All because he felt guilty toward her.

But it wasn’t even Xu Hao’s fault in the first place.

It was his daughter who had convinced them to drink.

Then, after leading him to the bedroom, she had clung to him the entire night.

It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that she had seduced him.

Clearly, the real culprits were the mother and daughter, yet Xu Hao ended up paying such a high price for it.

Yu Yun couldn’t sit still any longer. She rushed out of the bathroom to find Xu Hao.

“Brother Hao, why would you give me something so valuable? The medicine is clearly expensive, but what happened last night wasn’t even your fault…”

Because she had left in such a hurry, she hadn’t bothered to change.

She only had a bath towel wrapped around her.

She looked like a delicate lotus flower emerging from the water.

Xu Hao was momentarily stunned.

Yu Yun was one of the most alluring women he had ever seen.

The natural authority of a Queen of Law lingered between her brows, adding a layer of maturity to her beauty.

These combined traits made her incredibly captivating.

Before she could say anything else, Xu Hao reached out and pulled her into his arms.

Yu Yun’s heart pounded as she lifted her head and met his deep, shining eyes.

She panicked.

“Brother Hao, what… what are you doing?”

“Xiao Yun, you are truly beautiful.”

Xu Hao’s voice carried a hint of enchantment, as if he were completely mesmerized by her.

It was only then that Yu Yun realized her current state.

She was already an incredibly charming woman.

Now, after taking the pill Xu Hao had given her, her beauty had reached an entirely new level.

And yet, she had run out of the bathroom in only a bath towel.

Wasn’t that practically inviting trouble?

She swore she hadn’t meant to tempt him, but at this moment, even she couldn’t justify her actions.

She wanted to explain herself, but she couldn’t find the words.

[Ding… Yu Yun is flustered. emotional points +852…]

…

The Next Day

After Yu Yun had fallen asleep, Xu Hao freshened up and left the room.

As for the little girl who had only just drifted off, he left her in Yu Yun’s care.

…

Afternoon – Shennong Hall

Xu Hao arrived at Shennong Hall once again.

As soon as he stepped in, Feng Zixuan hurried over to greet him.

His fourth daughter, Xu Qingxue, also looked anxious.

Xu Hao raised an eyebrow.

“What’s wrong? Why are you both so nervous?”

Feng Zixuan quickly explained.

It turned out that the conflict between traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine had escalated.

After a Western doctor had taken away a critically ill patient, there had been no progress for days.

A reporter had broken in to investigate the case.

The truth was exposed—the Western doctor had failed to treat the patient.

Now, they were trying to shift the blame onto Shennong Hall, claiming that the patient’s worsening condition was caused by their previous treatment.

If the patient couldn’t be saved, Shennong Hall would be held responsible for their death.

In other words…

They only had three days left.

If they couldn’t master the Nine Needles of Heavenly Medicine within these three days, their only hope would be Xu Hao himself.

Feng Zixuan looked visibly worried.

Xu Qingxue also hesitated, torn between anxiety and hope as she looked at Xu Hao.

She silently prayed that Xu Hao would step in if things became desperate.

But Xu Hao’s expression remained serious as he spoke in a firm tone.

“We don’t have much time. Over the next three days, I will personally come here and teach you everything I can. You must give it your all.”

Feng Zixuan was shocked.

“Master, you mean… you’ll teach us for three whole days? What about your work…?”

Xu Hao simply smiled.

“I have my own ways of handling things.”

Feng Zixuan was deeply moved, while Xu Qingxue’s gaze toward him gradually changed.
