The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Translator: Lonelytree

Mo Li in the original story never forgot about this young man who unlocked her heart. When she met him again, she noted that while his features were as beautiful as ever, he had an added air of maturity about him.

With his business acumen, Han Xu by then had started his own business and built up his own brand.

​​ 

Mo Li was an emotionally expressive person. When the whole world trampled on her, Han Xu was the only one by her side to give her encouragement and comfort.

Mo Li could have done anything for Han Xu but Han Xu only had his eyes on Qiao Qing. Compared to Mo Li, who was arrogant, unruly and pushy, Qiao Qing was pure and innocent. Life never handed anything to Han Xu and Qiao Qing for free, unlike Mo Li who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth, therefore, it was understandable that Han Xu had a closer connection to Qiao Qing.

However, like most cannon fodder, Mo Li didn't know when to call it quit. One time, Mo Li planned a dirty trick on Qiao Qing but she was discovered by Han Xu. Like a knight coming to the rescue of his love interest, Han Xu swooped in to smack Mo Li in the face and declared his love for Qiao Qing before the public. Essentially Mo Li was the cupid who brought the two of them together. They became the cherished couple and Mo Li was abandoned by the wayside.

If this was a manga, this moment would be when Mo Li's personality blackened. Since she was little, she would have everything she wanted, and this was the first time things didn't go her way. This was when her childish willfulness turned into deranged obsession. She even went so far to plot a murder against Qiao Qing as a means to win back Han Xu. Naturally, her plot failed and in the end, it was Mo Li who ended up losing her life.

...

But back in the present, the transmigrated Mo Li had no interest in Han Xu at all, despite knowing how how rich and powerful he would be in the future. In fact, she did not wish to have even a casual relationship with him.

Mo Li was supposed to spend a whole week grounded at home but Mo Yun knew that her studies shouldn't be abandoned either. So to solve that problem, he found her a tutor in Han Xu.

This was the first time Han Xu saw Mo Li, and he was taken aback by her beauty. Her long hair was swept back in a ponytail. Her skin was fair and her eyes twinkled with great spirit. She had the good gene of the Mo Family, a natural, graceful presence that was not dampened by her casual attire of white shirt and jeans.

While Han Xu observed Mo Li, Mo Li was also taking in the male lead of this story for the first time. Now she understood why he was the male lead. Mo Li's three brothers were already Greek God-like handsome but this Han Xu's appearance was flawless. His bone structure and his facial features were all perfectly proportional.

Despite his illegitimate background, the way Han Xu carried himself put him apart from others.

"This is Han Xu. From today onward, he will be your study tutor. He is our city's best student. You'll be home-schooled for a week and then we'll decide what to do next." Mo Yun coughed and then added, "As I've mentioned, Han Xu is the top student in our city's public high school, and he has already been guaranteed an admission to our nation's best university. He's a model student, it would behoove you to try to learn from him."

"Okay," Mo Li answered a bit woodenly. To be frank, Mo Li was still not used to the whole idea of having a family. She merely agreed to get this over with. She also wanted to show appreciation for Mo Yin's good intentions.

Han Xu stole a few more glances at Mo Li. He was confused because this Mo Li didn't match the rumors that he had heard about her at all. Didn't they say that the youngest daughter of the Mo family was unruly, willful, and cruel?

Before he accepted, he did some research and familiarized himself with the recent happenings within the Mo Family. Everyone claimed that it was the heartless Mo Li who had hit her brother with a car.

There was even a petition online demanding Mo Li to be expelled from her school! If not for Mo Li's parents' generous yearly donation to the school, the petition would have gone through.

The amount of work should correspond to the payment received. Since Mo Family offered him such a high salary, Han Xu assumed he would have to deal with a problematic child. He did think twice before accepting the job because he was afraid he might not be able to handle the legendary wild child. In the end, his sensibility won out. School tuition and living expenses were a huge burden on his family and he should contribute to help ease that burden on his mother.

However, after seeing Mo Li in person, Han Xu knew better than to trust in rumors anymore. Mo Li was not the brash and arrogant girl that she was rumored to be.

Of course, there was a chance she was faking it. But if that was the case, Mo Li must be a really good actor because she presented herself very naturally and obediently so far.

"I'll leave my sister in your charge for the next week. I hope you won't disappoint me." Mo Yun gave Han Xu a few instructions, and Han Xu nodded with understanding. "Mister Mo, please don't worry, I promise to do my best."

"I would like you to prepare a lesson plan for the week. We will discuss it further when I come back later tonight."

"Of course but to do that, I need to be familiarized with Miss Mo Li's current learning curve first."

"Understood, go ahead then. In the meantime, I need to excuse myself." Mo Yun nodded and left.

Han Xu didn't mind the hard work, as long as he got paid at the end of the day. But Han Xu was worried that his pay might get slashed if Mo Li performed too poor academically at the end of the week.

What Han Xu didn't know was that he was the only person who was willing to come tutor the Young Miss of Mo Family. Every other tutor that Mo Yun approached had declined him politely.
