The Side Character's Hidden Boss!

Chapter 297: Cripple

Translator: Lonelytree

It was Mo Zheng who asked the question. “Is Qing Qing down there entertaining her friends?” He asked Mo Li who came upstairs. Mo Li turned to look at her brother. His face was pale, his brows were tightly knitted and his body was frail.

Recently, Qiao Qing had stopped coming to visit him. Most of the time, she only nodded at him. Her previous gentleness and thoughtfulness had disappeared.

Mo Zheng had asked Qiao Qing about her change in behavior. Qiao Qing’s reaction startled Mo Zheng. Her face turned red and white and her body shook. She admitted that her social life was shriveling up because taking care of him had consumed too much of her life.

Mo Zheng’s heart wrenched with pain as Qiao Qing’s innocent and watery eyes looked at him. He also understood that he couldn’t rely on Qiao Qing to stay by his side forever. He just didn’t expect the day of separation to come so soon. At home, only Qiao Qing would come to talk to him. Now that he was incapacitated, he couldn’t exit the house. However, Qiao Qing shouldn’t be housebound because of him. It was unfair to her.

Mo Zheng’s heart still pained thinking of how Qiao Qing had cried before him as she admitted to him the difficulty that she was facing. The girl’s innocent eyes shot daggers into his heart.

“If you want to know, you can go down to find out yourself.” Mo Li glanced at Mo Zheng. Honestly, he had more or less brought this upon himself. If he didn’t fall out with his parents and go against Mo Yun for the sake of Qiao Qing, he wouldn’t be so isolated at home. Furthermore, he listened to Qiao Qing’s ‘advice’ and stopped his physical therapy altogether.

“That won’t be necessary.” Mo Zheng didn’t expect Mo Li to reply so he was surprised when she did. Mo Zheng controlled his wheelchair and turned back to his room. “Shouldn’t you reflect on yourself considering how the atmosphere in this house? If you didn’t push so hard against Qing Qing, she wouldn’t be misunderstood by the family and she wouldn’t be so unhappy. Even now Mo Yun still believes you are framed and Qing Qing is related to the culprit.”

Qiao Qing is a powerful brainwasher, even at a time like this, he is still defending her?

“When everyone holds a different perspective than yours, shouldn’t you reflect on yourself?” Mo Li couldn’t understand how this pig-brained person would be a member of the Mo Family when the rest of them were so rational and clear-minded. “Also, your condition is not incurable. However, if you continue to abuse your body and refuse to go to physical therapy, even gods can’t save you.”

Mo Li then turned into her room and continued to work on Mo Zheng’s 3d printed bone.

...

Han Xu sat on the couch but he kept lifting his head to look upstairs. Qiao Qing gripped her fists when she saw this. She had been trying her best to keep the man happy but the moment Mo Li returned, his mind was instantly occupied by her.

“Mo Li has been coming home late recently?” Han Xu came to the Mo Family because he wanted to meet up with Mo Li. Auntie Qiu said that Mo Li would only come home late, she invited him to stay to wait for her. However, Auntie Qiu had something to do and thus it was Qiao Qing who came to accompany him.

“She has a lot of male friends and they often go out late at night. Li Li also comes home late but since mom and dad are not home, no one can really say anything.” Even though Qiao Qing was blatantly lying, she didn’t think she had done anything wrong. She even suspected that Mo Li had purposely shown up because she knew Han Xu was at home.

Han Xu frowned. Although he had only interacted with Mo Li for less than a month, based on his observation, Mo Li didn’t look like a party girl. Furthermore, when she came back earlier, she didn’t smell of alcohol, if anything she smelled of hospital disinfectant.

“Brother Han Xu, it’s already past 8 pm. Mom and Dad are not around. I don’t think it’s wise for you to continue to stay.” Qiao Qing could tell that Han Xu’s mind was no longer on her. Instead of letting him stay and risk a chance of him seeing Mo Li, Qiao Qing decided to send him packing.

Qiao Qing had placed all of her hopes on Mo Zheng previously but he was now a cripple. Even though the Mo Family said that he could be cured, Mo Zheng didn’t look like he wanted to be healed. The man had given up on everything. Therefore, Qiao Qing decided she wouldn’t waste any more time on this hopeless case. In contrast, Han Xu had great potential. Even though Qiao Qing didn’t know if Mo Yun’s news was reliable or not, Han Xu was definitely more reliable than Mo Zheng.?It is time to abandon that useless cripple!

“Okay. I’ve prepared this set of test papers for Mo Li. They should help her during the final exam. Please help me pass them to her. I hear that her results have improved recently.. I’m happy for her.”
