I found WordPress plugin: Flexi Pages Widget | Srini’s WordPress Laboratory and extracted the code for resolving our issue.

I’m very new to php programming so use at your own risk, here’s the code.

<?php

function pnp_get_subpages()
{
	global $wpdb;
	$sql = "SELECT ID, post_title, post_parent FROM ".$wpdb->posts;
	$sql .= " WHERE
		post_type = 'page'
		AND post_status = 'publish'
		AND post_parent <> 0 ";

	if($sub_pages = $wpdb->get_results($sql, ARRAY_A))
		return $sub_pages;

	else return array();
}
function pnp_current_page_hierarchy()
{
	if( !is_page() )
		return array();

	global $post;
	$current_page = $post;

	// get parents, grandparents of the current page
	$hierarchy[] = $current_page->ID;
	while($current_page->post_parent) {
		$current_page = &get_post($current_page->post_parent);
		$hierarchy[] = $current_page->ID;
	}
	return $hierarchy;
}
function pnp_get_exclude_page_ids()
{
	$sub_pages = pnp_get_subpages();
	$exclude = array();
	$hierarchy = pnp_current_page_hierarchy();

	foreach ($sub_pages as $sub_page) {
		// if the parent of any of the subpage is not in our hierarchy,
		// add it to the exclusion list
		if ( !in_array ($sub_page['post_parent'], $hierarchy) )
			$exclude[] = $sub_page['ID'];
	}

	return implode(',', $exclude);
}

?>

<div>start menu</div>
<ul id="primary">
<li<?php if (is_home()) echo ' class="current_page_item"'; ?>><a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/">HOME</a></li>
<?php 

$args = array (
    'depth'        => 0,
    'show_date'    => null,
    'date_format'  => get_option('date_format'),
    'child_of'     => 0,
    'exclude'      => pnp_get_exclude_page_ids(),
    'title_li'     => null,
    'echo'         => 1,
    'authors'      => null,
    'sort_column'  => 'menu_order, post_title',

wp_list_pages($args);
?>
