The Devil who devoured Snow White

Chapter 333  I know what to do

Because she had things to do, Lu Mengjie did not remain at Bella's place for so long. Si Hongqi stayed behind with Tian Ruyi, who was very attached to Bai Jingye ever since they had arrived in the place.

Si Hongqi was already annoyed by how close Tian Ruyi was with the other man, but he kept his mouth shut and followed them around the garden as Tian Ruyi pushed Bai Jingye's wheelchair. Si Hongqi had offered to push the wheelchair, but Tian Ruyi insisted and wouldn't let him do so. HIs offer was simply declined by her.

"Who else knows that you're alive?" Tian Ruyi asked as she looked down at him.

Bai Jingye's attention was drawn to the water fountain as they drew closer to it. "I had Bella contact my family. Only mom and my brother know that I'm alive."

"Did they come here too?"

"No. It's too risky for them to come and see me. We don't know if they're being watched or not." He sighed heavily. "Mom offered to go to another country to hide in the meantime."

"That's not a bad idea at all," said Si Hongqi, agreeing to what Bai Jingye's mother told him. Aside from that, it was advantageous for him if he wasn't around. With his condition, he knew that Tian Ruyi would most likely be around him just to take care of him.

"I agree with auntie too. We don't know what Si Guanlin will do if he finds out that you're alive. It's better if you're away from here."

Bai Jingye was aware that they were acting out of kindness, but the reality of the situation they were in made it all the more difficult for him to consider leaving. "I'll think about it." he said instead, not wanting to promise them anything.

Si Hongqi couldn't help but let out a frustrated sigh to himself. It was not possible for him to coerce him into leaving, as doing so would make it far too clear that he desired for him to leave.

Although unlike him, Tian Ruyi was different. When she heard what Bai Jingye said, she had a serious frown on her face. She was much too familiar with him. "No, don't think about it. You have to do it. I'll have auntie bring you out of the country!"

Bai Jingye turned his head to look up at her. He was ready to argue but when he saw the stern look in her eyes, he held back. "Xiao Ruyi…" "I'm serious, Jingye. I almost lost you. Not just me, your family too. We almost lost you." She tightened her hold around the handles of the wheelchair. "If you want to help, then help us by staying out of trouble and by recovering. We want you alive, not dead."

…

Lu Mengjie arrived at her parents' place. She had been staying with them in the meantime since she didn't want to stay alone in Yong Liwei's penthouse.

Scorpion, Yong Liwei's right hand man had informed her that she could move to Yong Liwei's main house once she had packed up her things and she was ready to go there but she had initially declined his offer since she knew where it was. She had been brought there once… it was during the time when Si Guanlin kidnapped her.

The only reason why she didn't want to go there was because of such memories but she had been thinking of it lately. She was only introduced to a few of Yong Liwei's men. With their master in coma, someone had to be there and make sure everything was going well in that place. She couldn't afford Si Guanlin to crawl his way in that place and poison the minds of those who were loyal to her husband; that's why she was planning to move there later that night.

As of that moment though, Lu Mengjie was there to check on her son and pick up a few things. The safest place for Little Peanut was to be in her parent's household. That's why she wasn't going to bring him along with her.

"You should bring some people with you," her mother said while she was sitting on the sofa.

"Don't worry, mom, I will." She picked up Little Peanut from the carpet and carried him in her arms. "Aguu!" The toddler was smiling brightly at her when she carried him in her arms. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I miss you too, baobei." Lu Mengjie nuzzled his nose lightly which made her son giggle a lot. She couldn't help but smile at his cuteness. For a moment, she had forgotten all the problems she had when she saw his adorable smile. "I'm sorry, baby. Your mother has to leave you a lot…"

She had been feeling guilty for not being able to properly take care of her son and stay by his side. As much as she wanted to bring him along with her, she couldn't. She rested her forehead on top of her son's head. "Be good to your grandma, okay?"

"Don't worry he isn't as troublesome as you were in that age." While she was looking at the two, Li Bingbing supported her chin with the palm of her hand.

Leaning back from her son, Lu Mengjie turned to look at her mother. "With dad not around, you have to take care of Huasheng and watch him all the time, okay?"

Her mother scoffed and rolled her eyes. "I have three kids, I know what to do. I'm an expert so there's no use in worrying."

"Dad's the one who mostly took care of me and my brothers though…" Lu Mengjie muttered under her breath. It was always her father who looked out for them and kept her mother from going haywire because, after all, she was someone who couldn't keep her tongue in check.

Without her father around, she couldn't fully trust her mother since she was easily distracted by things. Oh well, she could always ask her little brothers to check on Little Peanut from time to time.
