The Side Character’s Hidden Boss! Chapter 257 – Birthday Invitation

Chapter 257: Birthday Invitation

“Matter of fact, I have. Ol’ Zhao is 47 and he used to be a truck driver. He only studied to high school. He has a wife but no children. What about it?” Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui. He can’t possibly discriminate the man because he’s poor, right?

“For all these years, he has not worked in any other industry. He has always been a driver or security guard. At his age, it won’t be easy for him to find a job. Based on his financial condition, if he lose his job, his family will starve. Ol’ Zhao and his wife have no savings so Ol’ Zhao can’t afford to lose this job.”

Mo Li was surprised that Xiao Rui would be so understanding. However, there was another question on her mind. “Can a couple really survive at Pearl River with 5500 per month?”

“Some need to survive with just 3000 or even 1000. Everyone has their own life to live. For some, having an extra egg for dinner could be considered an luxury already.”

“If they have a good financial plan when they were young, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.” Mo Li was very good at managing her money, so she couldn’t understand how people could squander their lives to such a state.

“That is not true. What if they have no finance to manage from the start? Not everyone is born into a good family like you and me do.”

When Xiao Rui said that, Mo Li turned to him. “It sounds like you know these people well.”

Kang Zhi felt like a lightbulb sitting there.

Xiao Rui sucked in a deep breath. People were born with different background and resources. It was not that these people didn’t work hard, sometimes they were just dealt a hard hand in life. If they had a better start, they might turn out better than most. Furthermore, who were Xiao Rui and Mo Li to judge other people’s lives?

…

The group left the conference room and went to the office. Mo Li took out a file from another case from the rack behind Xiao Rui. How is Zhao Jing related to this case?

Mo Li couldn’t understand it. Why was Zhao Jing fired from her job? Was it really because of Feng Shui? According to what they heard, Zhao Jing said something about Dong Yun that made him very mad when she was fired. However, no one could remember what it was anymore.

Mo Li wanted to know but even she couldn’t bring back the dead.

I should sit on this longer. When the time is right, I’ll tell the rest. Mo Li felt that if she told them about the connection now, she would affect the direction of the case. Plus she had no concrete evidence.

Soon it was time to get off work. Xiao Rui unexpectedly offered to send Mo Li home.

Xiao Rui rummaged in the car before he produced a card.

“What’s this?” Mo Li frowned at the card.

“It’s from my little sister, Xiao Yue.”

What is the woman up to this time? Ever since Quan Yu sent her the picture of him with Xue Yu, Mo Li had been wondering why they had met. Mo Li also noticed Xiao Yue had gotten close to Qiao Qing during the family party. She believed those two were up to no good again.

“It’s an invitation to her birthday.” Xiao Rui glanced at Mo Li. “During the party, there was a misunderstanding but she wishes to bury the hatchet with you. She wishes to be good sisters again. After all, our families are good friends. I’m sure our parents would want us to get along.”

Mo Li looked at Xiao Rui with her brow raised. Are you serious?

Ever since the party, Mo Li had already given up on Xiao Yue. The woman was not worth her time.

“If you agree to come to her birthday party, people will think that you two have made up. Do it as a favor to me.” Xiao Rui had said everything Xiao Yue wanted him to. Now he observed Mo Li’s expression.

Speaking of, his little sister appeared gentle and magnanimous to others but Xiao Rui knew that she was a prideful person. She had this sense of superiority over others.

Xiao Rui wouldn’t be so worried if Mo Li was to befriend his other sister, but unfortunately his eldest sister had been missing for years already.

Xiao Rui was honestly worried that Xiao Yue was merely using him to entrap Mo Li.

However, he also thought that it would be quite interesting to have a talented girl like Mo Li at Xiao Yue’s birthday party.
