The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 460 - Mo Yun’s Call

Chapter 460: Mo Yun’s Call
Translator: Lonelytree
Mo Li did not tell Nie Li that Xiao Rui was basically half of her boss. Instead, she told her that Xiao Rui came to visit her on behalf of the Xiao Family.

Early the next morning, Mo Li returned to the set for Witch of the Sun and Moon. Mo Xiao knew about this but he did not stop her.
When he saw Mo Li, the martial arts director immediately rushed forward to apologize. Zhuo Ran, An Wan and a few other actors planned to visit Mo Li at the hospital after work but the girl had returned to the set already.
“Do you really need to work so hard?! You should go back to rest, or else I will go to the Mo Family to complain to your mother.” An Wan said when she saw how pale Mo Li’s face was. Director Peng also persuaded Mo Li to rest. The director was fine with Mo Li taking a few days of rest. However, Mo Li was stubborn. When she had made up her mind, no one could stop her. Mo Li assured them that the wound would not affect her work.
Mo Li changed into her costumes and started the scene for the day.
Noting Mo Li’s professionalism, the martial arts director felt guilty. He had been in the industry for years and this was not his first time doing a ‘favor’ for someone. However, it was his first time seeing such clarity and determination in an actor’s eyes. He was consumed by guilt but Xia Mei had offered him too good of a price… He was blinded by greed and did something he regretted.

The crew of the Witch of Sun and Moon was divided into two groups, A and B. Mo Li still couldn’t do the actions scenes so Director Peng mostly had her finish the smaller scenes.
At the end of the day, the result was not too bad. Mo Li’s shoulder was still slightly sore but it did not show on the screen.
In the evening, Mo Li received a call from Mo Yun. He was currently out of town on business. However, when he had time to finally see the news, he immediately called Mo Li. Mo Yun did not even notice that his voice was trembling slightly.
Mo Li felt a warmth in her heart, but she quickly composed herself and said, “I’m fine. It’s just a small injury. In fact, I’ve already returned to the set.”
“I need to deal with some PR issues so I can’t be at home… Are you sure you’re fine?” For Mo Yun, Mo Li had just entered the entertainment industry and this had already happened. According to the news, her injury was quite serious. Of course, Mo Yun did not believe the rumors between Tang Ze and Mo Li. Speaking of, Mo Yun had to have a talk with Tang Ze for hugging his sister when he got home.
“If you’re injured, you should rest at the hospital. Work is important but you have to approach it within reason. What’s the point of working if you sacrifice your health? Mo Yun reasoned with Mo Li. His tone was filled with concern. “I’ll be back in another 3 days. You need to come back home so we can talk about this.”
“Don’t worry… I…”
“It’s about work.” Mo Yun knew that Mo Li would not be willing if he said he wanted her to come home to rest. Therefore, he had to use another reason to lure her home. To think that he had to use such tact when talking to her little sister, Mo Yun felt it was surreal.

“If you prefer it, I can talk to your manager and Mo Xiao directly. You will be home when I arrive home and that’s that.” It was not that Mo Yun worried his grandparents couldn’t take care of Mo Li but he was worried about the paparazzi. They would affect Mo Li’s recovery. Once Mo Li moved back home, Mo Yun could deal with the paparazzi.
Mo Li glanced at Nie Li and she eventually caved. After Mo Li hung up, Nie Li asked her what was it about. Mo Li told her that Mo Yun told her to go back home because he had some work matters to discuss with her.
Work matters? There are work matters to be discussed between siblings? Nie Li’s brain worked very quickly. The producer of Witch of Sun and Moon was Mo Xiao. So the only reason Mo Yun would look for Mo Li was to talk about the project’s investment! Is it possible that Mo Yun wants to invest in the project? After all, based on how much the Mo Family dotes on Mo Li, that is not impossible. This is the perfect opportunity for me to endear myself to the Mo Family!
Nie Li noticed that the Mo Family really did care about Mo Li, it was completely different from what the rumors said. Therefore, Nie Li was glad that she had chosen to stick to Mo Li rather than Song Xin.
“Okay, you should go back to talk to him.” Due to her physical condition, Mo Li did not stay overnight for filming. Mo Li got off work on time.
Mo Li returned to her grandparents’ place. Speaking of, Mo Xiao had arranged for the elder couple to go on a trip so they did not know about Mo Li’s injury and news. If they knew, they would take down the media companies one by one.
When Mo Li and Nie Li arrived, Mo Xiao was already there. He sat on the sofa with a dark expression on his face. Nie Li did not want to get involved so she said goodbye and left quickly. Nie Li reminded Mo Li to rest early.
Mo Xiao looked at Mo Li coldly.
