The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Chapter 9: A Panther

Translator: Lonelytree 

After so many rejections and when Mo Yun was about to run out of option, he ran into Han Xu. The kid very down-to-earth and was incredibly bright.

Han Xu happened to be in need of money, so the matter was settled. Han Xu would be a stay-in tutor. When he was not tutoring Mo Li, he would stay in Mo Yun’s study.

​​ 

Every child of the Mo Family had their own study. Compared to her three older brothers, Mo Li’s study room was very big, and it had a very girlish decor.

This was quite a conundrum for Mo Li because both her bedroom and study were all pink and lace. She would wake up with goosebumps every morning. She was averse to this princess style. It did not reflect her personality at all.

However, at that moment she had too many things to do to conduct a spatial make-over. She’d rather focus on her medical training so that she could yield a scalpel again.

As soon as Han Xu entered Mo Li’s study room, he was stunned. He did not expect her study to be so big, almost as big as his whole home… The second shock was the overwhelming pink and fluff. It was something out of a little girl’s fairytale story.

However, according to rumors, this little princess actually had a Medusa-like personality. Or at least that was what Han Xu found out from his research. Online comments about Mo Li highlighted her viciousness, scheming nature and mental perversion.

In any case, Han Xu didn’t have any interest to get to know the girl. After all, this little princess would probably end up in a company-owned business and continue to live a carefree and happy life. Moreover, what did it matter to him what kind of person she was? His goal was only to improve her grades and earn money.

His only hope was that Mo Li’s current grade wasn’t too bad, or else it would take a miracle to improve her overall standards in a week.

“Do you mind showing me your latest monthly test result?”

Mo Li pulled out her results from her school’s official website. There were nine major subjects in her high school: Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Geography, Politics, and History.

Apart from Chinese, English, and History, she got zero marks for everything else! It was unclear whether she really didn’t know the answer or she deliberately refused to answer the test.

This was the first time Han Xu had seen such a horrible result. They were of no use to him as reference, therefore Han Xu took out a few test papers and told Mo Li to start working on them immediately so that he could better assess her current level.

“I’ll work on them first and then you can grade them. We’ll go over the mistakes together and I’ll revise them.” Mo Li accepted the papers from Han Xu and announced. She sat down opposite from Han Xu, she didn’t want to have too much interaction with this man.

She was not used to holding long conversations. Mo Li was more comfortable if everyone could maintain a safe distance away.

Han Xu was surprised by her directness, and her eagerness to study. He had expected to do some negotiating before they could get the ball rolling. Regardless, since she was technically the boss, he obliged. He sat to the side and prepared for other subjects.

Mo Li frowned. She thought a high school paper would pose no problem to her but clearly she was mistaken. The English test was okay because she studied English since she was young. She solved all the science questions breezily. Her real problem was in history and politics. These were not her forte.

Han Xu walked over to check her progress. There were almost no problems with English and Mathematics, only some grammar mistakes and a few equations needed to be clarified.

Her level in Chinese was acceptable. She was particularly good in the 3 sciences, Biology, Physics and Chemistry.

But when he came to the papers on history and politics… Han Xu’s eyebrows twitched.

“What’s wrong? You scored so well in history for your monthly exam.” Han Xu leaned in to ask and at that moment, Mo Li leaped away from him like a panther who was wary of trespassers wandering too close to her territory. Han Xu wondered if he had startled her.

In truth, Mo Li merely detested physical contact. She disliked having contact with strangers, especially this man whom she knew was the male protagonist.

After the tutor session, Han Xu returned to Mo Yun’s study.

…

Back in his office, Mo Yi’s his face was as pale as a ghost as he held a phone in his hand. There was not really a big problem, it was just that his parents wanted to see their Sweetie.

Without alerting anyone else, Mo Yi brought Mo Li straight to the Mo family’s old residence.

The old couple did not surf the internet often. They only found out about the car accident when they saw the entertainment news by chance.

So, they immediately called Mo Yi and asked him to bring Mo Li to them.

After all, this matter affected Lil’ Three’s future. They had to understand everything before deciding on what to do.

“Dad, Mom…”

The normally proud Mo Yi seemed to turn into a chastised child before his parents.
