THE SIDE CHARACTER'S HIDDEN BOSS!

Chapter 12



Chapter 12: The Antagonist

Translator: Lonelytree

Seeing how sensible and obedient Mo Li was, Madam Mo added consolingly, “Sweetie, if you run into such trouble again in the future, come to Grandma. Grandma will settle everything for you!”

Madam Mo was of the opinion that there was nothing in this world the Mo Family couldn’t solve. If their Sweetie needed to have an obstacle removed, she shouldn’t need to have her own hands dirtied. For example, that Qiao Qing. Madam Mo was the only one, other than Mo Li, who didn’t fall under her spell.

Madam Mo always had a good eye of judgement. The girl appeared to be generous and kind but internally, she was incredibly selfish.

When Mo Li was young, Madam Mo saw for herself how Qiao Qing took Mo Li’s painting and won first place in their school drawing competition. When Mo Li complained about it, Mo Yun assumed she was just upset that she didn’t win. He even lectured her about it.

...

Madam Mo insisted that they stay for dinner.

On the dinner table, Elder Mo turned to Mo Yi as if he had suddenly thought of something, “By the way, there’s something I believe you’ve already heard. That person from Beijing has arrived at Pearl River City, is it true or not?” Elder Mo didn’t specify the person but both Elder Mo and Mo Yi knew who they were talking about. After all, there was only one recent new arrival to Pearl River who would have garnered Elder Mo’s attention.

“That person is indeed here.” Mo Yi just confirmed this news a few days ago. But he was cautious of its validity because it was the Quan Family who had released the news themselves. They probably wanted Mo Family to be attentive to this new arrival’s presence.

“Then, you better be careful. Mo Family is not afraid of trouble, but that doesn’t mean we should go around inviting trouble.

“With regards to that person, we better maintain some distance. I heard that this person is a real piece of work. We need to be careful lest we get dragged into any unnecessary trouble.”

Elder Mo was familiar with his family’s temperament and personality. And none of them would mix well with this person. After all, there were only 2 kinds of people who would approach the Quan Family willingly.

One, they wanted to curry favor and approached Quan Family in submission. Members of Mo Family had too much character to bow to others.

Two, they were more powerful than Quan Family. There wasn’t many in this category. Mo Family was powerful but their influence was limited to Pearl River, Quan Family’s root though was at the Beijing, the central capital of the nation’s power.

“Father, don’t worry. I know what to do but... I do have a question.” Mo Yi was confused by this. “The Quan Family hasn’t been blessed with much posterity. All that power is going to culminate in that one person. He is going to be 20 this year. I can understand Quan Family’s actions if this is a girl but he’s a boy...”

The way the Quan family treated this child made Mo Yi confused.

Mo Yi had sons himself, his education philosophy was to leave them to the wolves, the survival of the fittest. After they reached adulthood, Mo Yi detached himself from their lives. But Quan Family practically watched over their son all the time!

Elder Mo sighed with sadness, “It has to do with the boy’s natural circumstance. He is the only child of the Quan Family but he is also a child of premature birth. Therefore, while he looks normal on the surface, his organs and biological systems are inferior to that of an ordinary child. He has the IQ of a normal child but he has poor immune system and a bad heart. I hear that even a tiny pollutant in the air can trigger his asthma.”

Hmm?

Mo Li, who had been munching on pork ribs, was so shocked that the bones in her hands fell.

She remembered this description from the original book, “His heart isn’t too good, and he’ll die if he’s not careful. He is blessed with a genius mind but it is a miracle that he manages to survive until now. Of course, his family’s influence and power help a lot too.”

Elder Mo knew about this because his friends from the capital had revealed it... although this was not really a secret in the capital. This was precisely why no one dared to hang out around this young master. A careless move and he might die, and the wrath of the Quan Family was definitely not something anyone wanted to face.

Mo Yi pondered for a moment before asking, “But what does this person has to do with the New Sage Group. Apart from the Quan family, the NS Group has been notifying people of this person’s arrival at Pearl River.”

Elder Mo shook his head, he too didn’t know the connection.

Mo Li looked at her father’s worried expression and pondered for a moment before saying, “Dad, I did hear some rumors about this from my classmates. The chairman of NS Group is from the Quan family, in fact, he is the second uncle of that person.”

Upon hearing Mo Li’s words, Elder Mo and Mo Yi were shocked. “How would you know that?”

Then again, when Mo Yi thought about it, he was no longer that surprised, his daughter’s private academy was not a normal school. The students there were children of various powerful families. His daughter’s school was an elite academy where the tuition was only affordable by the rich and powerful... So if Mo Li put her ears to the grapevine, it would not be hard for her to find out about these things.

“What else do you know about this second uncle from the Quan Family?”

“Well, I know that he was quite a ruthless character when he was young. He had made many enemies back in his days, one of them eventually got the trip on him by successfully framing him in a murder. It was his older brother who resolved the problem for him. However, his enemies were relentless. His older brother died to protect him.”

Mo Li recited the details she remembered from the plot. She had some recollection of these things because they were background to that person who would deeply impact the future of the Mo Family.

Because that person was the main antagonist of this book! The biggest challenge to the male protagonist after he returned to the capital!
