18 Looks Like FeiFei Has Trauma~

Prime Minister Bai looked around trying to figure out a way to placate both his son, and his daughter who seemed weirdly upset.

Of course placating his son was simply for the purpose of shifting all the stacks of documents on the table into his hands instead of actually having to do them.

"FeiFei, that thing is your brother, Bai Liu. I told you about him just yesterday didn't I?"

Bai Jingfei seemingly snickered but didn't let her views show on her face. She gave Bai Liu a smile, deciding to help her father in what seemed like his evil scheme.

"Oh so this man is my wise, elder brother? The scholar who keeps topping the best school in the country?" said Bai Jingfei, opening her mouth wide in shock.

She looked into her father's eyes with a mischievous grin, letting him know that she was on his side of the scheme if it meant implicating Bai Liu.

Bai Liu was clueless to the drama going on right in front of him, but he kept watching anyway.

"Yes, FeiFei! This is that wise and smart brother of yours I keep boasting about. He was going to take over the family and make us proud!"

"Wow! Take over the family already? He must be extremely intelligent!"

"FeiFei let me tell you, there has not been a single year that this son of mine has not topped the school. He is a genius I tell you, a genius!"

Bai Liu finally caught on to the skit and interjected.

He scratched his head and gestured for a maid to bring forward a box.

"It's not much but I brought you a gift, Feifei!" he said, obviously proud.

When someone says something isn't much, it's either humble bragging or the gift-er ran through the whole country to find something and could only find something at the last moment.

In this case it was both.

He was almost blushing, hoping his sweet little sister would like the gift he painstakingly picked out after browsing pretty much every store in between the capital and his school, to find something worthy of his perfect little sister.

At the end he decided to pick out something extravagant. His sister hadn't seen much of the world so something extravagant might excite her into getting healthier.

So the maid walked over to Bai Jingfei with a discreet looking wooden box with a pink ribbon neatly pasted on the top.

Bai Jingfei sat down with the box on her lap, slowly opening it to try and discover what the heavy things in it were.

As she slowly opened the box up she fell backward a little out of fright.

Flashbacks of an explosion came to her mind as she looked at the glittering things inside the box. It was a box full of diamonds.

Pink diamonds.

Bai Liu looked at his father smugly, thinking Bai Jingfei's reaction was just shock, but Bai Jingfei had now discovered a new and terrifying weakness of hers.

When she looked at pink things that glittered she was reminded of the pink glittery confetti of doom she had added to her bombs as a joke. But in the end they blew her up.

Her breathing quickened and she wrung her nightgown tightly.

She took in a few deep breaths in an attempt to calm herself as her cheeks turned red. If you looked closely enough you could probably see sweat forming on her head.

She slowly closed the box, not taking another glance at said diamonds, and slowly backing away from them. She even pushed the box onto the table and pushed it slightly.

Prime minister Bai was now extremely curious about what exactly was in the box.

"FeiFei can you pass papa the box?"

Bai Jingfei quietly passed the box to her father, now almost completely calm. If she thought about it logically, the joy of having diamonds worth several million outweighed any fear she could possibly have.

She smiled at Bai Liu, deciding that maybe he wasn't as bad as he seemed, after all she loved diamonds.

Bai Liu felt as if he had accomplished something as he looked at his father's stunned face.

"Bai Liu-" asked prime minister Bai before realizing that anything he said to question where Bai Liu bought the diamonds from would end in a loss for him.

Asking would be like admitting defeat.

He could definitely give his daughter a better gift without asking his bratty son where he got his gift from.

Prime minister Bai had made up his mind to find the most exquisite jewelry possible for his daughter. The more the better.

What this father-son pair were unaware of was that Bai Jingfei's favorite thing as of now was candy. Sacks of candy were more likely to buy some favor from her than jewelry that had to be sold to get money.

If these two were to find out about Bai Jingfei's love of candy it would be completely possible for every candy store in the country to be bought out for Bai Jingfei.

But there was no way for them to find out she liked candy, because Bai Jingfei was convinced that her father would not let her have any candy, when he just wanted her to eat sweets in moderation.

Bai Jingfei walked out of the hall after telling her father she wanted to eat. She hadn't forgotten to thank Bai Liu for the box of diamonds that she was now carrying.

As she left the study to go eat, there was a new ruckus in the study.

"Can't you take over? I'm getting old!"

"You're in your fifties father… That's not old. You might fool others with your looks but you cannot fool me"

Soon there was a full blown squabble in the room over whether prime minister Bai was considered old or not.

After the squabble ended the two of them finally got back to work, picking up the documents they had scattered all over the floor.

Bai Liu picked up a certain envelope with a familiar name on it before shouting at his father while waving it around like a maniac, jumping from one foot to the other.

"Father! Why have you been talking to those jianghu scums?!"
