Mengmeng didn't notice that she ended up staring intensely at Xu Chen when she recalled a small part of her past. Even if she didn't mean it, the way she looked at her mother-in-law didn't belong to a sheep but instead… it was like that of a predator who was about to jump on her prey.

"W-Wang Yan!" Xu Chen shouted, calling the head maid. She clenched her fists tightly as she continued, "take this stupid woman out! Throw her things outside!"

Mengmeng was clearly not in the mood to entertain her mother-in-law now that a part of her memory returned. She wanted to think more of what she recalled, maybe she would be able to remember more?

"Calling me a stupid woman..." she paused, the side of her lips curled up into a smile. How many times has she heard that word already? "... I don't think that's enough to insult me as well. There are better ways to insult me, mother. Would you like me to give you an example?"

It was like an evil spirit entered Mengmeng's body. The devious smile that appeared on her lips sent shivers down the other woman's body. The urge to run away filled the bodies of those who were present in the room.

Xu Chen staggered and was lost of words at that moment but at the same time, anger flared her up. She was not going to give in so easily! Not to a woman like her! "I-is that how you talk to someone older than you?!"

"Using that card this time, huh?" Mengmeng chuckled, amused. "So what if you're older? Are you even worthy of my respect?"

If there was someone who could really hit a nerve of hers with their insults, those two women should be- huh?

A crease ended up forming in between her brows at the thought of remembering something. She was about to recall something again…

Those two women? What was she thinking about? Who could those two women be?

She tried to force herself to remember but instead of remembering, a sharp pain filled her head, making her hold her head as she crouched and groaned in pain.

"W-what are you doing?" Xu Chen faltered. "Stop acting!"

"Argh!"

"What's happening?"

The woman instantly turned towards the entrance and was surprised to see her son, standing tall with another girl, Tian Ruyi.

"Mom, what did you do?" Tian Ruyi asked worriedly. She rushed to Mengmeng's side and gently held her arm. "Are you alright?"

"S-she's faking it!" Xu Chen shouted in her defense. "I-I did nothing!"

Thankfully, the headache stopped when Mengmeng gave up on the idea of remembering who the two women were supposed to be. Instead, she finally turned to the woman on her side.

She wasn't a beauty like her but her clear skin together with her youthful look made her look attractive. Aside from that, her gentle features were pleasing to the eyes. She was the type of woman who men loved to protect. Her short, warm chestnut-colored hair reached until her shoulder was slightly messy and yet it suited her, making her look cute instead.

"Then why is her cheek swollen?" Tian Ruyi turned to the other woman, frowning at her.

"T-that..." there was no excuse. Xu Chen was rather stupid but she was able to change the topic by saying, "you shouldn't be siding with her, Tian Ruyi! That bitch married your fiance!"

What did Xu Chen mean by fiance? Mengmeng wondered. Tian Ruyi? Oh... so she's the one...

"The servants will bring your things to the car," Bai Jingye interrupted.

"Come, Xiao Meng, please just ignore mom's words."

Ha... to call Bai Jingye's crazy mother that way... they must be close, right?

"Come, we'll be late for your flight if we stay here any longer," Tian Ruyi said as she gently led Mengmeng to the exit.

Bai Jingye turned to a servant and ordered, "put my things in the car, including Bai Mengxi's."

"Where are you going?" Obviously, Xu Chen was clueless about them leaving.

"I have something to take care of," her son replied without giving many details. He turned and began following Tian Ruyi and Mengmeng out of the place.

"W-Why are you bringing her?" She wouldn't be able to torment Mengmeng anymore if they bring her with them.

This time, Bai Jingye ignored his mother. He was always like this. He was cold to everyone except to one person.

"Don't worry, everything will be fine now," said Tian Ruyi after entering the car.
