The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Chapter 59: Car Accident

Mo Yu’s tone was prideful but also slightly whiny. It sounded like he was asking for attention from his family. The moment Mo Yu said that, he regretted it. He had never acted like this around Mo Li before.

Mo Li did not notice the change to his tone or if she did, she didn’t show it. Instead she answered openly, “The lesson is over. Lin Mu is not a member of the Mo Family so his lesson lasted longer, only then he’ll understand Mo Family is not easily bullied.” In fact Mo Li used even less force when she hit Mo Yu compared to when she dealt with Lin Mu. “But you are family so you get special treatment.”

Family??Mo Yu was surprised by the use of that word. His mouth opened but he soon closed it. He couldn’t bring himself to say that he wasn’t family with Mo Li.

Mo Li exited the room and then came back carrying the first-aid kit.

Mo Li placed Mo Yu onto the chair but instead the lad started to fidget around restlessly. “Be patient, don’t move!” Mo Li ordered and instantly Mo Yu quieted down.

Mo Yu tried to process the complicated emotions in his heart. It was very difficult to describe. He did not quite understand it but overall, there was warmth underneath his feeling of crabbiness.

Mo Li carefully helped to dress Mo Yu’s wounds. After she was done, Mo Li stood up and returned to her room. It was not until Old Madam Mo called for them that the two of them walked out from their respective rooms and came downstairs.

Elder Mo was stunned when he saw Mo Yu come down the stairs. The rascal normally would have to be persuaded and urged multiple times before he would follow the given order.?Why is Mo Yu being so obedient today?

Mo Li walked into the kitchen and saw the ingredients prepared. She could tell that Old Madam Mo had put in a lot of effort for this meal.

“Today, both of our babies are at home, so I have decided to make dumplings.

“If there’s some residual stuffing, we’ll make steamed river mollusc.”

“River mollusc? What is that?” Mo Yu tilted his head, clearly not familiar with this delicacy.

“Boys will be boys, they’ll never get the things in the kitchen.” Old Madam Mo smiled delightfully as she worked on the dumpling stuffing.

Mo Yu grumbled indignant, “Grandma, that’s not fair. What does gender have to do with it? Why don’t you ask her then, I refuse to believe that she knows anything about it either.”

“Steamed river mollusc is a common night market delicacy at certain cities. River mollusc is good for detoxification. The way to prepare the dish involves picking out the meat of the mollusc and then mixing it together with minced pork, shredded mushroom, ginger, green onions, and sesame seeds.” Mo Li explained as she helped her grandmother. “After that, the filling is stuffed back into the mollusc shells. The molluscs are then steamed with Shanghai’s red oil sauce.”

Not only Mo Yu, even the two elders were stunned. Since when did Mo Li know these things?

Other than shock, Mo Yu also could feel his stomach growling. Mo Li’s description of the food had his interest piqued.

“Oh my, we’ve run out of onions, gingers and garlic. Sweetie, do you mind going shopping with Grandma?

“We’ll leave the boys at home.”

…

Pearl City’s Qing Cheng District, this was the silk stocking district of the town. One side of the neighbourhood was owned by the Xiao Family and the other Mo Family. These two families were the two big real estate moguls at Pearl River.

Mo Li and Old Madam Mo walked to the small supermarket close to their home. After they were done shopping, they prepared to go home.

As they walked out from the supermarket though, a car accident occurred not far away from them.

Mo Li turned to the crash and realized it was an accident between 2 sports cars. Mo Li’s eyes were immediately drawn to the one at the back because it had a gaudy pink paint job…

A man leaned his arm on the window of the backseat. He yawned and his whole posture was relaxed and languid. Mo Li saw the man’s fair and muscular chest because his shirt was unbuttoned.

People can’t even dress properly these days…?Mo Li was about to frown when she met the man’s eyes.?It’s him! Why is he here?

When Quan Yu saw Mo Li, his lips hooked into a smile.?Well, this is serendipitous or is it fated?

Mo Li immediately retracted her gaze and followed Old Madam Mo home.

The young man in the front seat noticed Quan Yu’s wondering gaze through the rearview mirror. He followed Quan Yu’s gaze. “Huh, aren’t that Miss Mo and Old Madam Mo? They must be out here purchasing household needs.”

“You know them?” Quan Yu asked.

Xiao Yuan nodded. “Well, our families have been friends for decades.

“That girl’s name is Mo Li, she is the person everyone at Pearl River is talking about. Interestingly enough, Mo Family’s lineage is all male until this Mo Li’s birth. So she is heavily pampered by her family. Especially Old Madam Mo, she basically drowns her granddaughter with love.”

Quan Yu scratched his chin with interest. “Tell the other party that we don’t need compensation anymore. We have something more important to do.”

“But…”

“But what? We are going to visit Elder Mo at his residence.” Quan Yu ordered.

“Huh?”Xiao Yuan was dumbfounded.

Did I hear wrong? Why would someone like him want to visit an old man who has already retired for years?
