The Side Character’s Hidden Boss!-Chapter 468 - Back on Track

Chapter 468: Back on Track

Translator: Lonelytree

“Father, what are you talking about? I really don’t know this man. They dropped a cufflink at Xiao Yue’s party and I picked it up. Maybe there was something hidden in the cufflink because they came to find me. But I’d like to know how did you find out I’ve met with his people?” Xiao Yuan looked at Xiao Ming and Xiao Yue. Of his children, Xiao Yue was the most like Xiao Ming. She was arrogant and unscrupulous.

Xiao Ming glanced at Xiao Yue but said nothing. Instead, he turned back to persuade Xiao Yuan to share his resources among his family. In any case, Xiao Yue did not believe Xiao Yuan’s excuse and demanded that he reveal his real relationship with Quan Yu. “Second brother, aren’t we your family?! Tell me, is there another woman around Quan Yu?” Xiao Yue asked anxiously.

Xiao Yuan looked at his silly little sister. He really did not know what to say. Based on his understanding of Quan Yu, the man would not like Xiao Yue. After all, she was the child of the woman who betrayed the Quan Family. Plus, Xiao Yuan knew Quan Yu was very close to Mo Li.

Xiao Yue pestered Xiao Yuan endlessly but Xiao Yuan did not reveal anything. Maybe I am overthinking things. After all, how would this dummy know someone as powerful as Quan Yu?

“Little sister, like you said, we’re a family. Do you really need to send people to follow and investigate me?” Xiao Yuan leveled his gaze at Xiao Yue. Xiao Yue didn’t admit anything, she merely said that her friend had seen Xiao Yuan. It was a coincidence.

Xiao Yuan didn’t waste time arguing with her. He returned to his room. At midnight, Xiao Rui suddenly materialized in his room. “Fuck! Do you walk with no sound?”

Xiao Rui’s expression was scary. It reminded Xiao Yuan of the time he told his brother about his gambling debt. His expression was the same back then. Xiao Yuan was so scared that he jumped into his car and raced away. Xiao Rui shouted at him. Xiao Yuan’s heart trembled. To teach his brother a lesson, Xiao Rui jumped into his own car and crashed into Xiao Yuan. It did not hurt Xiao Yuan but it did scar him mentally.

“Have they found out?”

Xiao Yuan looked at him. “Yes, Xiao Yue sent people to follow me. I told them Quan Yu’s people only met me because Quan Yu lost something at her party.”

“You need to move fast and transfer your family asset out before they notice anything.” Even though Xiao Rui had his own ambitions, it did not mean that he didn’t know about things that happened at home. He knew about Xiao Yue’s wild ambition and ruthless nature. For example, Xiao Yue and Xiao Yin both went away from home together that year but only Xiao Yin was captured by human traffickers? That was suspicious. Before Xiao Rui found out the truth, he couldn’t let Xiao Yue control the family asset.

“Still no news of Big Sister after so many years?” Xiao Rui thought he could find news on Xiao Yin through Quan Yu but so far, there was nothing.

As a friend, Quan Yu had prepared Xiao Yuan for the worst. But as her family, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Rui had been holding out hope. After all, Xiao Yin was the one who raised the two brothers. They would look for her until they found her, dead or alive.

After 15 days, Mo Li’s wounds had fully healed. She had been filming the Witch of Sun and Moon non-stop. Other than big scenes where Director Peng insisted on using a stunt double, Mo Li did all the action scenes herself.

Director Peng was impressed by Mo Li. Mo Li was very professional. Since she applied the minimal use of stunt double, the post-editing loved her because she gave them the least amount of job. Director Peng showered great praise on Mo Li. Director Peng was known for his stinginess with praises. However, he did not conceal his admiration for Mo Li.

Director Peng had huge complaints regarding the dropping quality of new actors. The new environment cultivated more artists that relied on fame, face, and not talent. Therefore, when Director Peng heard someone praise a new actor, he would bring Mo Li up to draw a comparison. That inadvertently raised Mo Li’s popularity.

Mo Li had stayed away from school for half a month. Her injury meant that she could apply for leave officially.

Mo Li used half a month to finish her personal scenes. Director Peng told her that she had to return on a future date to shoot the movie posters but until then, Mo Li was free.. The filming for Like A Willow had not started so Mo Li decided to take a break and return to school.
