The Side Character’s Hidden Boss!-Chapter 60 - How I Wish She Is My Own Daughter

When Old Madam Mo and Mo Li returned home, there was an additional person in the living room.

Although this was the first time Mo Li had seen her, she knew this woman very well. She was Mo Li's youngest aunt, Xu Yan.

This woman was another bad influence in Mo Li's life.

Mo Li's 3 brothers always shared a good relationship, they were there to help each other whenever one of them needed it. It was because of this unity that Mo Family's legacy was still going strong. It was also why Elder Mo decided leave his power with Mo Yi, the sibling's father.

Xu Yan was highly critical of Elder Mo's decision. Her husband, Mo Chuan was merely a small manager at their family's company. On top of that, Elder Mo and Old Madam Mo were incredibly partial towards Mo Li. This made Xu Yan worry about her own family's future within the grand scheme of Mo Family. She had a feeling that this old coot would end up leaving everything to the damned girl after he croaked and died.

There were so many boys in the Mo Family Tree, Xu Yan would not sit idle and let all the benefits fall to that damned girl. This was especially true when her boy was not the beneficiary.

To her surprise, when she arrived, her son, Mo Yu was already there and he was chatting pleasantly with Elder Mo. They normally didn't have such a good relationship.

Old Madam Mo was not surprised to see Xu Yan, this woman often brought her son over to remind them of her presence.

Every time, she would slyly elevate her own family by belittling the other members of Mo Family. At the end of the day, she was only after the Mo Family fortune.

After Xu Yan greeted her mother-in-law, she immediately turned her attention to Mo Li. "Oh, Li Li! You're getting prettier by the days! You've truly inherited your mother and grandmother's good genes. You look just like your big brother when he was young."

Xu Yan pulled on Mo Li's hands, she was chummy with Mo Li, very much unlike how a senior would act around her junior. Even though the face was painted with a kind smile, Mo Li could see the chill that was well hidden in the woman's eyes.

Before Xu Yan married Mo Chuan, she was a drama actress. Therefore, she was very good at controlling her expression. Even if she was feeling disgusted, no one would be able to tell.

Mo Li was made uncomfortable by the close contact but the woman's clasp on her was firm. In fact, her hands were feeling pained from being pressed so hard. Sensing Mo Li's pull away from her, Xu Yan frowned with concern. "Li Li, what's wrong? Is that how you treat your favorite aunt?" Xu Yan tried her best to console and comfort Mo Li, "Is it because of all the rumors around school? Come and tell your aunt about it, I'll show you some pointers on how to deal with it."

In the original, Xu Yan was indeed Mo Li's favorite aunt. They were incredibly close.

Mo Li though could sense the venomous intent from this woman. She used her acting skill to trick the original Mo Li. The old Mo Li was also a fool to have fallen for this woman's trick. She had no idea that the woman was only using her. Under Xu Yan's many 'suggestions', Mo Li became even more insensible and created multitudes of problem for the Mo Family. Of course, Xu Yan ensure that her own family would be excluded from the tragedy every time.

The old Mo Li's penchant for branded and luxury items were also something taught to her by Xu Yan. She flaunted herself as a socialite.

However, Xu Yan only behaved like that before Mo Li. The rest of the time, she acted like a virtuous and caring housewife.

According to the plot of the original, some of the horrible things Mo Li did after she lost her way were this woman's ideas.

At this moment, for her own preservation and for comfort, Mo Li only wanted to stay away from this clingy woman. However, with each step that Mo Li took backwards, Xu Yan would move forward.

Mo Yu walked out to welcome his grandmother home and saw this instead. "Mom, what are you doing?

"Please let go of Mo Li. Clearly you're making her uncomfortable."

Xu Yan was stunned.

Why would her own son speak up for Mo Li? These two kids always had a tumultuous relationship. Did the sun rise from the west today?

Old Madam Mo glanced at Xu Yan without saying a word.

To be frank, when her second son wanted to marry this woman, she was vehemently against it. Her eldest son's wife was the daughter of the former city mayor, a real young lady. However, Xu Yan was an actor. It was not that Old Madam Mo looked down on the profession, she looked down on Xu Yan herself. She disproved of Xu Yan's intention and habits.

Faced with Old Madam Mo's strong opposition, Xu Yan came back one day with the announcement that she was pregnant!

Therefore, Old Madam Mo had no choice but to agree to the marriage in the end. Even though she didn't like this daughter-in-law, for the sake of her son, Old Madam Mo didn't trouble Xu Yan too much. At the end of day, she didn't need to live with Xu Yan anyway.

After Xu Yan married into the Mo Family, Old Madam Mo was an understanding mother-in-law. She even helped out to take care of Xu Yan for the month after the latter gave birth to Mo Yu.

The rest of the time, Old Madam Mo minded her own business. She was not going to intervene between the husband and wife.

However, whenever Xu Yan brought up the issue of Mo Li, Old Madam Mo would be annoyed. She knew she was biased towards Mo Li but Mo Li was the family's only girl. She deserved to be doted on. Plus she did not appreciate having her actions criticized by her daughter-in-law.

Old Madam Mo was about to say something when she saw Xu Yan pawing Mo Li but to her surprise, Mo Yu commented on it before she could.

Xu Yan chuckled. "Ha ha... Of course, of course. I didn't mean to hurt Li Li. You know how much I love your little sister. How I wish she is my own daughter."
