Chapter 11: The Devil's Game [EDITED]

He was sure that his grandfather knew about her condition. The doctor who was working at the hospital must have reported everything to him concerning Mengmeng. It was impossible not to know that she was pregnant when she was already showing symptoms of it since last week. It was only a matter of time for the old man to find out.

Instead of being surprised, his grandfather looked rather calm which only confirmed Bai Jingye's speculations.

The old man glanced at his butler. The servant walked towards a drawer and pulled out a small amber bottle.

"It doesn't matter if she's pregnant. Make her drink this once you arrive in Japan and plant your seed in her after she recovers."

Bai Jingye's sight darkened at the cruel words of the old man.

The only reason why his grandfather didn't give her the abortion drug during her stay with him was to avoid delaying their marriage. At least after their marriage, there would be no trouble drinking the drug anymore. She could stay longer in the hospital for however long she wanted.

This was the true nature of the old man. He was ruthless. He would never stop until he got what he wanted. He was merciless, he wouldn't think twice even if his opponent was a child. He would never miss an opportunity if he was given the chance.

"You could have just aborted her child while she was in a coma," Bai Jingye spat coldly.

"As much as I wanted that to happen, her condition was critical. The doctor said that her body wouldn't be able to take it if they operated on her."

Bai Jingye scoffed. That doctor was probably lying. It only meant that even after throwing her into the snake's den, she most likely still has that man's protection. "If you like her so much, why don't you marry her instead?"

Bai Keran ended up blurting out a loud laugh as if he just heard a funny joke. "Like her? I'm too old to get married. Besides, why should I like her?"

The man standing in front of him was dumbfounded, speechless. Wasn't that the reason why he forced him to marry her? He was protecting her from his family the past few days so why change now? Unless… It was all an act to gain her trust?

"I don't care if you make her miserable in your marriage life, in fact, I actually prefer that. Make her as miserable as possible."

He was correct. His kindness was only an act. This old man... had he gone crazy?

"Do you perhaps... know who she really is?"

That was the only possible reason he could think of. If this sly old snake knew who she really was, what family she belonged to... for him to torment her this way could only mean that she belonged to a family that he loathed.

There was only one family that he detested to the point of going as far as this. It could only be that family...

"Whether I know her or not is none of your concern. As long as you listen to me, then I will let you marry Xiao Ruyi in the future after you make your wife's life miserable."

Ha! There he goes again! He wanted everyone to listen and obey him without questioning him. Bai Jingye was long tired of his grandfather's psyche. He was not going to be like his father or brother. He was not going to be his puppet!

"You better keep your promise." With that, he turned and left the room.

Inside the car, Bai Jingye was staring at the small bottle that his grandfather gave him. The content of the bottle was an abortion drug.

A scoff escaped his lips. Did he really think that he would go along with his plan even if she belonged to that family?

"Zhao Lei."

Zhao Lei, his assistant, who was driving the car answered, "Yes sir?"

"I want you to look into the Lu family. Give me a list of all their family members... including the members of the other twin."

"You mean… Mr. Lu Xian Yu, sir?"

"Yes."

From what he knew, Lu Yifeng had two daughters while his twin brother, Lu Xian Yu had one. If Mengmeng was one of their daughters then... It was understandable why his grandfather wanted to take her out of the country as soon as possible. 

That crafty old man, he badly wanted to get his revenge on that family, huh? To go against such a big family, was his grandfather courting death? He must be, right? Now that he was approaching the end of his days, was he planning on bringing down the family with him?

This was presumably the game that was mentioned by that man. Bai Keran was playing that Devil's game. If so, Bai Jingye has nothing to be worried about. He shall play it along with them.

"For now, let's pass by Tian Ruyi's place." He ordered.

Chapter 12: Calm before the storm [EDITED]

Mengmeng didn't have many things to pack especially when all her things were actually bought by grandpa Bai. The things he bought for her during her stay were sent to her husband's place so now, all she needed to do was pack them. 

She was grateful to have that old man's support. Because of him, even the servants inside Bai Jingye's mansion were not picking on her in fear that she might tattletale them to the old man.

She was pregnant and only her husband knew of it. If others found out, she would be thrown out of the family. Grandpa Bai would surely feel deceived too. It was a good thing that she was heading off to another country. In that way, no one would find out about her pregnancy.

She was torn on what to do. She couldn't decide right now. She was at loss.

Maybe her instincts were influenced by the memories she lost? Even if they were gone, her body and subconsciousness should remember, right?

The only problem was… she was living a new life now. She was married. Bai Jingye didn't say anything about not wanting a child. He just never cared. 

Three months… After three months, she needed to find the people who knew her. But how should she do that? Where should she start looking?

While she was waiting for her husband in the living room, a visitor arrived. The servants avoided the woman's gaze when they saw who it was.

"You btch! What are you doing here?!!" The woman who she remembered as Bai Jingye's mother, Xu Chen, came rushing to her like a furious wild animal.

The next moment, a loud crispy slap was heard across the room.

Xu Chen glared down at the younger woman in front of her. "I will never accept an illiterate like you as my family! Get out of MY house!!!"

Illiterate? The lion, the witch, and the audacity of this btch! Did she just call her illiterate?! Fumed Mengmeng in mind. Sure, she could feel the stinging sensation on her cheek after the slap but she saw it coming. 

Weird. Instead of stopping her mother-in-law, she didn't mind accepting it. She was her mother-in-law so she didn't want to be rude. She should have known that she would be meeting this woman soon enough after arriving in her husband's place.

"Mother." She slowly turned her head and looked at her with strange calmness in her eyes which startled the other woman. She wasn't surprised or bothered by the slap she received.

For some reason, the way she looked at her made Xu Chen feel anxious at the sudden change in Mengmeng's eyes. There was something about her presence that told her that she wasn't as docile as she thought she was which made her arrogance decline.

"Y-You... you dared to call me mother?! A stupid woman like you?! You have no right to call me 'mother'!!!" 

The bizarre air coming from Mengmeng… how should she describe it? Ah… what was that saying again?

A calm before the storm.

"If you are going to insult me, then please do your research properly." The way she spoke to her was polite and yet, at the same time, sharp and insolent. "I believe illiterate is a wrong word to describe me. You see, I can read and write. I know proper manners too… Mother."

Just then, a small scene flashed before Mengmeng's eyes.

(Flashback)

The boy was perfection in coffee hues; his hair was the color of dark roasted beans but his skin was as fair as porcelain. He looked like a living doll. His eyes were bold and cold, brown, like that of a chocolate and yet they carried this stubborn hatred of the world. He swept his eyes on her, looking from toe to head. "You, what's your name?"

"You act so high and mighty, why don't you guess my name?"

Obviously, both the boy and the man he was with were surprised when they heard her words. Children her age would usually hide or cry after meeting the boy after all. That was the normal reaction. That should be their normal reaction after being glared at.

The old man who didn't look any younger than Bai Keran's age was quick to protect the girl in fear that the boy might lash out at her. "Young master, we can't delay any further, please excuse this lowly subject. I have to-"

"Grandpa, you shouldn't treat him like that. You are older," she interrupted, placing her hands on her waist before she continued, "Daddy said that we should be polite to people older than us."

The woman who was listening to their conversation suddenly looked so troubled, on the other hand, the old man looked at her in amusement.

"You!" Little Mengmeng turned to the boy with a serious look on her face. "You don't have manners! You are a bad kid! I hope Santa brings you a book of manners for Christmas!"

The boy stared at her for a few seconds until his eyes became teary. "You… you insolent girl! I will remember this!" He turned and ran away from them.
