The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Mo Yi who was beside his mother was about to say something when Old Madam Mo turned to him and said, “Since they want to meet our Sweetie, then go and get her.”

…

At the corner of the greenhouse, Mo Li was playing chess with her grandfather. They were enjoying themselves. In her previous life, Mo Li liked to play chess with herself to pass time. The rules of 3d chess was similar to normal international chess but as the name suggested, it had another additional dimension. That made it so much more difficult.

When Mo Li came to him earlier and invited him to play a round of chess, Elder Mo thought to entertain his granddaughter, but he was shocked to realize Mo Li was an expert player. “When did your chess skills become so good? You almost fooled your grandpa. Looks like we’ve been underestimating you.”

“Compared to grandpa, I still have long way to go.”

“Sweetie, flattery is not going to work. Your words are kind but your moves are not.” Elder Mo chuckled happily.

“Well, if I purposely let grandpa win on purpose, grandpa wouldn’t be happy either, right?”

“Ha ha, Sweetie, you talk a big game. Good, as expected of my granddaughter! But this game is not yet over, don’t get ahead of yourself.”

Neither Mo Li nor Elder Mo noticed Mo Yi and the eldest young master of the Xu Family who came to invite Mo Li. They continued to play their chess. The two men were left standing to the side, one was offended, the other was proud. After a while, a waiter sent over by Old Madam Xu came to urge Mo Li. Elder Mo told him that their round of chess hadn’t concluded yet and told him not to bother them.

“This girl of yours is overly pampered. We’ve already summoned her multiple times and she doesn’t even have the decency to come greet us? How rude!” Old Madam Xu said with dissatisfaction. She heard that Mo Li was as beautiful as an angel and thus wanted to introduce Mo Li to her grandson. But this girl didn’t even want to show up, not giving her face at all!

Old Madam Mo ignored the woman’s words and took a sip of tea. It was Old Madam Mo’s manners that stopped her from chasing this woman out from her house. No one dared to critique her Sweetie like that before!

Elder Mo glanced at the time. Naturally he knew what these people were doing. They wanted to humiliate his Sweetie. “Sweetie, aren’t you going to go accompany your grandma?”

Mo Li answered, “Grandma is being accompanied by big brothers already. I’m sure she won’t mind me staying here with grandpa. In any case, I’ll go apologize to grandma after the party. For now, I need to focus on this game because I can see myself losing if I’m not careful. Grandpa sure is not going easy on me.” Elder Mo was a great chess player, there were a few moments where Mo Li really thought she was about to lose.

“Ha ha. But what’s the fun playing chess with an old man?”

Frankly, for Mo Li, it was so much funner playing chess with Elder Mo than to be at the party with the preening hens and cocks. She really couldn’t understand how these people manage to survive such ostentatious parties.

“Uncle Mo, my grandmother has been waiting for Mo Li for a very long time already.” Young Master Xu turned to Mo Yi with displeasure.

“Well, not everyone can meet our Sweetie as they please.” Mo Yi studied Mo Li and his eyes lit up with surprise. He had no idea his daughter was such a good international chess player.

“My grandma came to this party to arrange a marriage for Mo Li. Marrying into the Xu Family is her best choice.” Young Master Xu said proudly, offering the Mo Family this olive branch.

Elder Mo ignored Young Master Xu and asked Mo Li, “Sweetie, what’s your plan for the future.”

“I want to be a doctor, a general practitioner to be precise.” Mo Li answered after taking down Elder Mo’s pawn.

“Oh? Why is that?”

“Because I want to see the world and to help those that need my help.”

Mo Yi glanced at Young Master Xu. Hear that? Our Sweetie already has a plan of her own. She doesn’t want to be in your family’s gilded cage!
