The Villain Turned the Heroines Into Resentment Souls

Chapter 10: A Big Backhand! Teach the Cold Female Lead a Lesson:

The Shengshi Hotel—

One of the few five-star hotels in the city, it was known for its style, luxurious décor, and top-tier service. With renowned chefs from around the world, dining here was a privilege few could afford. Even something as simple as egg-fried rice costs thousands.

Today, a woman walked into the grand lobby of the Shengshi Hotel. She was breathtakingly beautiful—her delicate features, well-defined figure, and professional attire clung tightly to her curves, drawing everyone’s attention. Yet, her icy demeanor made her seem unreachable.

This woman was Xiao Mingyue.

Born into a small family, she had used her iron will and sharp business instincts to establish a pharmaceutical company worth tens of billions, becoming the young and commanding CEO she was today. But despite her success, Xiao Mingyue wasn’t here for business. She was here to put an end to Xu Hao’s persistent advances. He sent her flowers every day, constantly asked her out, and left her feeling utterly exhausted. Xiao Mingyue’s focus was on her career, and she had no time or interest in romance—especially not with someone like Xu Hao, a rich playboy who wasted his days chasing women and lacked ambition.

But what really set her off was the discovery of a bug in her office, confirming Xu Hao’s relentless pursuit had crossed a line.

…

Time passed slowly.

Xiao Mingyue, typically the one who had others waiting, was growing impatient. She had been sitting for half an hour, waiting for Xu Hao, and there was still no sign of him. Given his obsession with her, she thought he would have rushed here as soon as she called. What could be the holdup?

Just as she began to wonder, the door opened with a soft click, and Xu Hao walked in.

Xiao Mingyue paused in surprise.

Xu Hao seemed different. He had always been handsome, but now there was an air of confidence about him that made him even more alluring. Shaking off the thought, she cut straight to the point.

“Xu Hao, this isn’t going to work. We’re not right for each other—”

“Wait a minute, I’m hungry. Let’s eat first.” Xu Hao interrupted, completely unbothered by her words.

Xiao Mingyue frowned, her irritation rising. She didn’t have time to waste watching him eat. She had come to make her stance clear, not to linger over a meal. But before she could protest, he cut her off again.

“We’ll talk later. Let me finish eating.”

Soon, the table was covered with gourmet dishes—signature creations of the hotel, each costing tens of thousands of dollars.

“Xu Hao, I’m telling you, I don’t like you and I never will—” she tried again, only to be dismissed once more.

“Let’s discuss it after I’m done.”

Another half-hour passed. Xu Hao wiped his mouth with a napkin, lit a cigarette, and leaned back casually, finally ready to speak.

“Okay, say what you need to say. I’ve got work to do, and I don’t want to waste any more time here.”

Xiao Mingyue was furious.

She had waited, watched him eat, and now he claimed she was wasting his time?

While her rage bubbled up, a sense of confusion also took hold. The Xu Hao she knew had always been eager for her attention.

What has changed?

Had he finally given up?

Part of her felt relieved, but there was also a strange hint of disappointment.

“You’re a company CEO, so stop these childish games. If you keep this up, I’ll lose all respect for you. I don’t plan to marry anyone right now, and even if I did, I’d never choose someone like you.” Xiao Mingyue said sharply.

Her words were harsh, but Xu Hao remained calm, as if her rejection meant nothing to him. He continued smoking, his eyes cold as he studied her through the haze of smoke.

Xiao Mingyue’s irritation grew. She had expected Xu Hao to beg, to plead for another chance, or at the very least, to lose his temper. But none of that happened.

“I really don’t understand. You come from a small family—who gave you the audacity to talk to me like this? A billion-dollar company that you built? Is that your source of confidence?”

Xu Hao’s voice broke the silence, and his words carried a sharp edge. Xiao Mingyue frowned deeply, sensing that something was wrong. Xu Hao’s attitude was completely off today.

She knew Xu Hao’s family background well.

What was he implying?

Was he planning to use his family’s power against her?

This was a lawful society—what could he possibly do?

“You…what are you trying to say?” she asked, her voice wavering.

“What do I mean?” Xu Hao chuckled darkly.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked toward her. In one swift motion, he slapped her across the face.

The sharp sting left a red mark on Xiao Mingyue’s flawless skin.

Stunned, she held her cheek, staring at Xu Hao in disbelief. She had grown up cherished, adored by her family and admired by everyone around her. No one had ever dared to raise a hand to her—until now.

“Did you just hit me?” she muttered, her voice shaking with anger and shock.

“Do you want to feel it again?” Xu Hao asked coldly, raising his hand again.

Xiao Mingyue stepped back, instinctively covering her cheek, fear flashing in her eyes.

Xu Hao stepped closer, his gaze never leaving hers. She retreated until her back pressed against the wall, cornered.

“Relax,” he said, bringing his face close to hers. Instead of hitting her again, he blew a cloud of smoke in her face.

Coughing from the smoke, Xiao Mingyue felt her heart race in fear. His words, soft and chilling, echoed in her ears.

“I’m just teaching you a lesson. In this world, there are some people you can’t afford to offend. And when you do, there are consequences…”
