The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Translator: Lonelytree

As Mother Mo met up with Mo Li, she whispered a few words to her to prep her for the upcoming 'battle'. However, it was to no avail because the moment Mo Zheng saw Mo Li, his expression changed drastically. He growled in an angered voice, "Who told you to come? Get out!"

Mo Zheng still found it hard to control his emotions when he saw Mo Li. His eyes seemed to spew fire. "Don't show up here, trying to be a fake saint! Who do you think you are!"

Upon hearing Mo Zheng's insolent words, Mo Zheng's mother's heart began to clench. She worried that these harmful words were going to injure Mo Li mentally.

Mother Mo was about to say something to intervene but Mo Yun stopped her. This was because Mo Yun understood that the more their mother meddled, the more unstable Mo Zheng's emotions would be and he would only direct that ire at Mo Li. Therefore, Mo Yun wished for them to resolve this matter among themselves.

Faced with Mo Zheng's angry scolding, Mo Li looked calm and composed. She did not explain, or refute him. She stood there quietly, listening to Mo Zheng's angry vents.

However, Mo Yun noticed that Mo Li's eyes were very serene, as if this matter really had nothing to do with her.

At this moment, as her older brother, Mo Yun suddenly felt unsettled. Thinking back, it did seem like they had been pressing the blame on Mo Li, trying to get her to admit that she was behind this.

Could we really be wrong? After all, there are so many suspicions regarding the car accident that need to be cleared. And so far, the only concrete 'evidence' we have is the one-sided statement from Lil' Three...

"Mo Li! I will never forgive you as long as I am alive! I might forgive you if you kill yourself but even so I might not attend your funeral. You do not deserve to be my sister." Mo Zheng rambled on for a while until he had nothing else to say so he gradually quieted down. Perhaps he got tired or perhaps he found screaming at a mannequin-like Mo Li, who didn't retaliate, to be taxing.

"Mom, I'll stay to accompany Lil' Three for today. You haven't been home for days already, and dad is quite worried about your health. You need to go home and have a good rest." Mo Yun glanced at Mo Zheng and sighed internally.

Mother Mo nodded. It had indeed been too long since she last went home. She needed a good shower and rest. To take care of Mo Zheng, she only took quick breaks to shower at the nearby hotel, most of the time, she was by her third son's bedside.

Furthermore, Mother Mo felt the need to care about her other children. Mo Li had been heavily berated. Mother Mo wanted to go home to comfort her so she accepted Mo Yun's suggestion.

"Leave the matters of the company to the special assistant. Mother, you deserve a good rest after the week you've had." After exchanging a few simple pleasantries, Mo Yun left with Mother Mo and Mo Li.

When they entered the parking lot, Mother Mo was already shaking from repressed emotions. She waited until they got into the car before reaching out to pat Mo Li's head.

With reddened eyes, she said softly, "Li Li, you've done well. I really feel like you've grown up. Your brother is going through a tough period, please be understanding of him."

Mo Li nodded. To be honest, she did not take Mo Zheng's words to heart at all.

"He's still reeling from the injury to his legs! Once enough time passes, I'm sure things would be back to normal." At this point, Mother Mo could not hold it in any longer. She took Mo Li into her arms and tears welled up in her eyes.

This was the biggest nightmare for a mother, to see her children fighting among themselves and she could do nothing to help either of her children!

Moved by the emotions of the moment, Mo Li couldn't help her arm from moving up to pat her mother consolingly on her back. Feeling the warmth from her daughter, Mother Mo cried even harder. She pulled Mo Li tighter into her arms.

For the past few days, she had been trying her best to maintain a positive outlook in front of Mo Zheng, afraid that her negative emotions would affect her son.

But Mo Zheng was not that understanding towards her. He lampooned her with endless mockery and hostility.

Now, faced with her daughter who had achieved such growth overnight, the dam within Mother Mo broke. Tears were something that couldn't be stopped that easily once they had started.

Mo Li sat there with a flustered expression on her face. She was not good at dealing with such situations. She didn't know any words of consolation. All she could do was to give Mother Mo the comfort of a light touch.

"Li Li, promise mommy you won't hate your brother, okay?"

"Of course." Mo Li nodded stiffly. As Mother Mo slowly released her and when Mo Li saw the tears on her mother's face, she reached out instinctively to wipe away those tears.

"Sorry for that, this my fault for losing control of my emotions. Your father has already contacted the best doctor to perform the surgery for your brother so he'll be good as new soon. Then there will be nothing to argue about anymore. We'll be a happy family again!"

Mother Mo promised Mo Li but it sounded more like she was trying to persuade herself.
