The Side Character's Hidden Boss! - Chapter 248 - Preparation

Chapter 248: Preparation

“Producer Li, it sounds like you still haven’t figured out that Miss Mo Li is actually Mo Zheng’s younger sister.” Nie Li smiled. Mo Li had a very useful identity.

“Mo Zheng?” Li Hao was stunned. It was only then that he realized the girl did look a lot like Mo Zheng. Mo Zheng is Jiang Yan’s real name… so this means the girl is one of the Mo Family!

“Wait, you are…” Li Hao looked at Mo Li with his mouth hanging open. The Mo Family’s status and power at Pearl River was unrivaled. As powerful as a producer was, he was not more powerful than the Mo Family. Li Hao glanced at Nie Li who was sniggering. I’m probably the only one who doesn’t know that.

Honestly, this was not Nie Li’s fault. She did intend to introduce Mo Li and An Wan to the crew but Li Hao kept rambling so she didn’t have the chance.

“Erm… Miss Mo Li.” Li Hao was incredibly awkward, after all, his company still needed Mo Yun to invest in them. And he had just offended the biggest potential investor’s little sister. “With Miss Mo Li and Miss An Wan leading the project, I’m sure our box office sales will be better than Song Xin, but Miss Mo, you should know that your second brother, Mo Xiao…” Li Hao said as he carefully observed Mo Li’s expression.

Speaking of which, Mo Li really had to praise Mo Yun. He had done a great job at keeping the news confidential. Everyone knew that Mo Xiao had returned to Pearl River but no one knew the tragic situation he was in.

“As you know… My parents have always allowed my brothers and I to do anything we like. I have not met my second brother so I’m not familiar with many things. But the Mo Family always knows what we’re doing, we do not need others to meddle into our business.” Mo Li stared right at Li Hao when she said that. It caused the latter to shiver.

…

Downstairs, Kang Zhi waited for Mo Li. Where is Mo Li? Didn’t she say she’ll only be gone for half an hour? Why isn’t she back yet? Is someone giving her trouble? Boss told me to look after Miss Mo Li, if something happens to her, boss will have my neck!

Speaking of, boss sure is quite a stubborn person. Kang Zhi had the feeling that Xiao Rui didn’t hate Mo Li as much as he made it out to be. Kang Zhi sighed. He had heard the rumors about his boss’ complicated relationship with Miss Mo Li. Everyone at Pearl River said that the Mo Family and the Xiao Family were future in-laws. This means that boss and Miss Mo Li…

Kang Zhi’s eyes watered. Our boss is finally going to settle down after all. This calls for a celebration! Lost in his thought, Kang Zhi didn’t notice the woman who was rushing down. They bumped into each other.

“I’m sorry!” Kang Zhi looked up and realized the woman was dressed in a business dress and had on a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. She kept bowing at Kang Zhi in apology. She was in a hurry too because she quickly departed.

“It’s fine, it was my fault for…” Before Kang Zhi could finish the sentence, the woman had already run away.

“Hey, what are you doing?” When Mo Li arrived, Kang Zhi was standing there dumbly staring down the street.

“I bumped into someone earlier but it doesn’t matter. Miss, you were up there for almost an hour!” Kang Zhi was worried about Mo Li. He looked at her up and down and sighed when he confirmed she was fine. He knew how dark the entertainment business was, he was worried Mo Li might be harmed.

“Stop calling me miss, just call me by my name.” Mo Li sighed, “I stayed up there to talk to them about the press conference next week and I have to get the crew to request leave from school for me.” Compared to helping the police with a case, going to shoot a movie sounded more acceptable for a reason to miss school.

After they left Huan Yu, Kang Zhi sent Mo Li home. As she stepped into the door, she smelled the fragrance of food. Qiao Qing and Auntie Qiu served the food as they chatted with each other.

Mo Yi and Jiang Yao were already seated. Jiang Yao praised Qiao Qing as she served the dinner.

Qiao Qing glanced at Mo Li and then took a few deep breaths. I’ve done everything I can for now.

Mo Yun soon returned. Every since Mo Li returned home, she had been spending more time with Mo Yun.

“Yun Er, come and sit. Today Qing Qing cooked dinner for us. Isn’t she wonderful?”

“Both our daughters are equally wonderful.”

“Mo Li has so many things to deal with daily, as her sister, it’s the least I can do to help her cook for the family. Furthermore, Brother Zheng said he wanted to eat something so I helped Auntie Qiu cook some simple dishes for dinner.”
