The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

An Wan hooked her hand through Mo Li’s arm and pulled her out. “She always bullies newbies. We mustn’t show our weakness when dealing with people like her.”

Wen Xue was livid. She wanted to rush over but she was pulled back by her assistant. Despite the bad press on An Wan, she still had a fan base. It was best if they didn’t provoke her or she might go to the press with this.

At the door, An Wan told Mo Li. “Don’t take what she said to heart. People like her will never amount to anything anyway.” Before Mo Li left, she turned to look at Wen Xue with a blank expression. Then she exited the room with An Wan.

Wen Xue looked at them and screamed in anger, her gracious image disappeared fully. After An Wan and Mo Li left, a tall woman walked into the dressing room. She strode towards Wen Xue and slapped her without warning. “Wen Xue, this is a warning. If you dare to do anything stupid when I’m around, you’ll be black-balled in the circuit until you’re forced to seek early retirement.”

The woman’s voice was melodious but her threat was real. She sounded like she was delivering a message from someone.

“Who are you? How dare you hit me?!” This was the first time Wen Xue was so humiliated. She immediately wanted to slap the woman back. The woman easily held Wen Xue back by holding her wrist.

“I am more than capable of hitting you. Don’t forget your place. Do you know who was the girl you were trying to bully just now?” Taking in Wen Xue’s reddened face, the woman continued, “You know very well how you got the female lead for this movie. My advice to you is to stay in your lane and don’t make a fool of yourself.”

The woman flung Wen Xue’s wrist off and turned to leave.

Wen Xue immediately lashed at the woman. She was once again held back by her assistant. The assistant was clever enough to recognize this woman. As she pulled back Wen Xue, she quickly whispered something in Wen Xue’s ears. After hearing that, Wen Xue’s face turned up with fear and anxiety. It was like a different soul had occupied her body. She instantly became so timid.

The woman’s eyes swept over Wen Xue before she hurried to report the incident to Quan Yu and Nie Li.

Since tomorrow was a school day, Mo Li thanked An Wan and then left the set. When she arrived at home, she was met with her grandparents’ worried faces.

“Sweetie, how about we take a day off school tomorrow and go on a trip. What do you think?” Mo Li looked at Old Madam Mo and sighed, “Grandma, what is it? Just tell me.” Tomorrow is not a holiday, so there has to be something important or else why the suggestion to go on a trip?

Elder Mo said solemnly, “Lin Mu’s father is going to visit us tomorrow.” Mo Yu who was around, nodded weakly.

Mo Li replied. “Then I will notify the school to ask for a day’s break.” Then, she turned and went upstairs, leaving the trio to deal with the aftermath. For a moment, none of them knew what to say.

Mo Yu tossed and turned in his bed all night. He was supposed to go to school tomorrow but since this was his problem, he also decided to ask for a break like Mo Li.

After Mo Li had her breakfast, she didn’t leave on a trip but stayed at home.

Old Madam Mo didn’t go to the market like she did every day.

Everyone at home was so worried but Mo Li was perfectly at ease like she had nothing to do with it. She sat on the sofa, holding a tablet and studied something on it seriously.

Mo Yu peeked his head out from behind the sofa. The tablet was filled with English. He was dumbfounded. Since when did Mo Li’s English get so good?! Plus it is so unlike her to sit there quietly and READ. She has never done that in her life I don’t think.

Sensing Mo Yu’s gaze, Mo Li turned around to exchange a glance with him. Like a mole, Mo Yu sank back behind the sofa. Mo Li smiled and turned back to her tablet. This article is quite interesting. Mo Li thought to herself. Even though part of the concept is impossible to verify, I have to admit some of the content here are quite worth pondering for any doctor worth their salt.

She felt like manufacturing the medicine mentioned in the thesis, they looked quite promising. However due to limited ingredients, that was not possible for now. Perhaps in the future then.

Mo Yu was intensely curious about the thing that had grabbed Mo Li’s attention so. He kept glancing at the tablet. One day, he would take a closer look at it.

Elder Mo sat there and looked very calm. But in his heart, he was quivering, worried that something bad might happen to his Sweetie.
