Transmigrating as the Villain Father, Forcing the Protagonist’s Mother to Have Children

Chapter 43: Xu Hao: Tell Lao Mo, I Want to Eat Fish…

In the following days, whenever Xu Hao had time, he personally taught his two daughters painting and calligraphy.

It’s worth mentioning that after seeing Xu Hao’s calligraphy again, Xu Huayi also coquettishly asked him to teach her. She even made a bet with her sister on who would learn faster and better. The sisters often argued over Xu Hao’s attention.

Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling… Ding-ling-ling… Xu Hao was teaching Xu Huayi calligraphy when his phone rang. It was Li Kun.

Xu Hao stepped aside to answer the call.

“Mr. Xu, Director Zheng is here at the company and wants to meet with you…”

Xu Hao frowned slightly. Zheng Xuelin was currently the only other director of the Xu Group, aside from him. He had already bought out the shares held by the other two.

The shares held by Li Ping had been acquired through a trap set by her son, along with a kidnapping. In the end, the money had been transferred to another account of his overseas. It was essentially a classic case of using someone else’s wealth for personal gain.

The transfer of shares from Lu Qinghong had been completed that morning. Lu Qinghong’s real estate company had recently been under intense scrutiny. It had been exposed for various scandals, with masses of people flooding in to report issues. The relevant authorities were investigating, and the bank was chasing debts, causing his company to be on the verge of bankruptcy. He might even face heavy debts and prison time.

To repay his debts, Lu Qinghong was forced to sell his shares in Xu Group. Interestingly, Lu Qinghong’s company being exposed for corruption contrasted sharply with the Xu Group’s stellar reputation, inadvertently giving them free publicity. This helped the Xu Group gain even more attention, making it a top choice for people looking to buy homes. It could be imagined that the Xu Group’s performance would experience explosive growth.

That was just a small side story. After resolving issues with the two shareholders, the final one had come personally…

Something felt off. Had they discovered something? Xu Hao’s gaze flickered.

“Make sure to entertain him well, I’ll be there soon…”

He said a few words to his daughters and then drove to Xu Group.

In the VIP reception room, Xu Hao met Zheng Xuelin, a man in his 50s who appeared slightly aged. Xu Hao smiled warmly as he approached.

“Brother Zheng, if you wanted to see me, you could have just called. I would have had someone from the company pick you up…”

Sitting down, he noticed the teapot and empty teacups in front of him and immediately began pouring tea.

“Let’s talk slowly, let’s have some tea first.”

“We don’t need tea or wine. Let’s talk about the share transfer,” Zheng Xuelin said, looking at him with a deep, serious gaze.

Xu Hao could tell something was wrong from his tone, but he still kept his expression neutral, pretending to be confused.

“Share transfer? What are you talking about?”

Zheng Xuelin sneered, his eyes filled with sarcasm. “Don’t pretend, Xu Hao. Didn’t Qinghong and the others already transfer their shares? I should have done the same earlier.”

“Otherwise, I fear I might end up with the same fate as them…”

He had been following the situation with Lu Qinghong’s company for several days. He and Lu Qinghong had a good relationship, often having tea together. He knew a bit about his company, and it was completely legal and compliant. The rumors circulating online were all false.

But when Lu Qinghong called him in the morning to say that his company was about to go bankrupt and that he might face jail time and huge debts, he decided to sell his shares in Xu Group to repay some of the debts. Normally, it would have been just a friendly conversation, like usual.

But Zheng Xuelin, being paranoid, began to think about something after hanging up the phone.

If someone were to benefit from Lu Qinghong’s bankruptcy, that person would be the real mastermind.

During the bankruptcy of Lu Qinghong’s company, Xu Group’s impeccable reputation played a key role. It would lead to a surge in performance.

He then recalled what his old friend had said about selling his shares in Xu Group to Xu Hao.

He then recalled how Xu Hao had previously bought out their shares at twice the market price. A connection clicked in his mind…

Zheng Xuelin called Li Ping. After some inquiries, he learned that, in order to rescue his son, who had been framed, Li Ping had already transferred her shares to Xu Hao.

After looking into Xu Hao before he invested in Xu Group, Zheng Xuelin discovered that Xu Hao wasn’t as gentle and amiable as he appeared.

The whole situation became clear…@@novelbin@@

The mastermind was Xu Hao, who had been pulling the strings behind the scenes. He wanted to buy back all the shares. To maintain his good reputation and avoid gossip, he had resorted to kidnapping? He secretly caused people’s businesses to collapse, all to achieve his goal…

After piecing everything together, Zheng Xuelin couldn’t help but worry.

Now that Xu Hao had acquired shares from two other shareholders, was it his turn next?

To protect himself, he decided to go directly to the company and hand over his shares.

After all, he had gained a lot over the years.

“Brother Zheng, what are you talking about? I don’t quite understand,” Xu Hao said with a feigned expression of confusion, though he was clear in his mind.

It seemed Zheng Xuelin had figured it out, and knew quite a bit.

“Enough with the act. Don’t I know what kind of person you are?” Zheng Xuelin sneered, holding back his disgust.

“Just transfer the shares already. You go your way, I’ll go mine…”

Zheng Xuelin coldly snorted. This Xu Hao was truly good at pretending. On the surface, he appeared harmless, but behind closed doors, he was ruthless.

Working with someone like him for too long, you’d never know when you’d be consumed completely.

“Although I don’t understand why Brother Zheng has such a strong opinion of me, since you want to transfer the shares, I’m happy to comply…” Xu Hao said with a helpless expression and instructed his secretary to handle the paperwork for the share transfer.

Once the paperwork was done and the money was in hand, Zheng Xuelin couldn’t wait to leave.

Without saying a word, he rushed out in a hurry…

Xu Hao stood by the floor-to-ceiling window in the reception room, watching the car fade into the distance. His face remained expressionless.

He turned to Li Kun, who stood nearby, and spoke in a tone devoid of any emotion.

“Tell Lao Mo, I want to eat fish…”

Zheng Xuelin had only dared to come to the company after realizing that Xu Hao was only interested in reclaiming the shares, and hadn’t harmed the other two shareholders. He thought handing over his shares would resolve everything.

Had he known Xu Hao’s true nature, he probably would’ve fled that very night.

Unfortunately… there’s no such thing as a cure for regret.
