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.
