The Devil who devoured Snow White

Mengmeng decided to keep the name to herself. She didn't tell her two companions about the name she remembered. She feared that 'Han Xukun' might be the name of the father of the child she was carrying.

That should be a great thing, right? But then… she couldn't help but think… what if she didn't have a good relationship with him? If she told them the name of that man, they might send her off to him at once.

What kind of man was Han Xukun? 

The kid in her memory was cold… what if he grew up to be an abusive person? If that was the case, going back to her old life would only be a terrible idea! This life was better than being beaten up, right? But… What if he wasn't a bad person? She wouldn't know, not until her memories returned. She probably should stay low. Instead of that man, she should focus on looking for her family.

"Since we're going to work together from now on, I will give you an important piece of advice." Tian Ruyi couldn't hide the look of despair in her eyes. "We have one common enemy right now. We need to be careful once we arrive in Japan," she added confidentially.

"E-enemy?" Mengmeng stammered, blinking in surprise. If there was someone she would consider a threat at that moment, it was none other than Bai Jingye's mother and brother. "Are they Bai Jingye's parents and brother?" She asked carefully, curiously as well.

A scoff escaped Tian Ruyi's lips, "they're just his pawns. The mastermind behind them is the real threat."

The mastermind?

"Bai Keran," she said with a dark look on her face. "I advise you not to trust him so easily." 

Mengmeng furrowed her brows in confusion. " Why? Grandpa Bai has helped me a lot."

"Did you really think that he will help someone like you without plotting something behind?"

"But I saved him… shouldn't that be enough reason?" No matter how much she tried to think about it, Bai Keran never treated her cruelly. He helped her. If there was someone she could trust the most, it was probably him.

"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't believe everything he said to you." She took her bag and pulled out a small amber bottle, showing it to her. "He gave Jingye this medicine for you to take once we reach Japan. Do you know what kind of medicine this is?"

"Since it's a medicine he gave, it should be good, right?"

"All kinds of medicine always have their own adverse effects. This bottle has powdered rosemary inside. It may help you with your memories if you take proper amounts but… will it be good for the child you are carrying?" She asked, sharply staring at her.

"Don't tell me that's…" she paused, she was rather hesitant about continuing. Deep inside, she was rather hoping that it was not that kind of medicine.

Tian Ruyi didn't wait for her as she continued, "rosemary is also usually used by women who wanted to abort their children."

Abortion… If that herbal medicine was given by grandpa Bai then did he know about her pregnancy?

"Do you still think that Bai Keran is a simple old man who only wants to repay you with kindness for saving his life?"

"That can't be. It might just be a coincidence. He doesn't know that I'm pregnant."

"Are you sure about that?" She placed the bottle on the table. "You were unconscious for two months after the accident, right? It was Bai Keran who paid for your hospital bills. If not you, then to whom will the doctor report your condition to?"

Mengmeng clenched her fists tightly as she lowered her head, her eyes locked on the small amber bottle. It was hard to believe the facts that were served in front of her. She thought that he was the only person on her side who was willing to protect her until her memories returned.

"Then why did he make me marry Bai Jingye? Why did he lie about me being his adoptive granddaughter and a fiancé of his grandson?"

Wasn't it all because she saved him?

"That's because Bai Jingye is the only person who wants to escape his reins. Everyone in the Bai family is his pawns. Jingye didn't want to be one."
