Chapter 221: Was His Dai'er This Dumb?

Xi Jin frowned and took a sip of his wine. His eyes were on Feng Tianlan. The way she quietly ate looked just like Dai'er to him.

Si Mobai saw that Xi Jin was looking at Feng Tianlan and became jealous again. He coldly said, "Since you've found her, Prince Xi, I think it's time for you to leave."

He needed to stop staring at his Lan'er. Si Mobai was ready to gouge his eyes out.

Xi Jin looked away and pulled out two envelopes from his coat. He gave one to Tu Xiupei. She was so happy, and she blushed immediately. "Big Brother Jin, isn't it too early for this? The parents should decide such things."

Was he proposing to her? These were the personal details needed for the fortune teller to make arrangements, right?

"Miss Tu, you..." Xi Jin was stunned for a moment before realizing what Tu Xiupei was trying to say. He frowned and explained, "Miss Tu, this is a letter of recommendation."

Was his Dai'er this stupid?

Dai'er was extremely intelligent. She definitely would not sink to this level of ignorance. Could it be that, after losing her memory, she'd also lost some of her intelligence?

"Ah..." Tu Xiupei was frozen to the spot, and her face turned red from embarrassment as she looked at the letter of recommendation in front of her. It was awkward for her to take it, but it was equally uncomfortable to refuse. The letter was neither an exchange of their details nor a proposal.

Feng Tianlan couldn't help but laugh lightly. "My younger sister is in such a great hurry to find her happiness. If you're ready, as your older sister, I can find a good match for you."

Tu Xiupei was really in a great hurry and had ended up showing off her stupid side, so Feng Tianlan couldn't resist teasing her.

"Eldest Sister..." Tu Xiupei bit her lower lip, and tears filled her eyes as if she were being bullied and suffering terribly.

D*mn it, this stupid Feng Tianlan had made her embarrass herself!

"We have a lot of important and respectable guests here today, including many outstanding men. You can choose one, and I'll make the arrangements for you." Feng Tianlan glanced at the people downstairs and saw that there were plenty of good-looking young men among the guests. "If you're not sure whom to choose, then I can get you a nice bouquet to throw, and we'll see who catches it."

Tu Xiupei's tears started to fall one by one. She looked at Xi Jin and started pleading miserably for him to help her. "Big Brother Jin...I...Eldest Sister..."

"Oh, it looks like my sister doesn't care for any of the outstanding young lads here today, what a pity." Feng Tianlan didn't care whether Tu Xiupei was feeling bullied or not; she was out to make her offend as many people as possible.

As she had expected, after saying this, some people downstairs really became offended. They knew they weren't worthy of her, but nobody liked being insulted like that—it hurt their pride.

"What kind of first female genius is this? Someone was punched last night and hasn't noticed that her face is still swollen."

"Now that you mention it, my face hurts just thinking about it."

"Don't talk about it anymore. There's somebody here who is going to use her connections to climb out of her chicken coop and become a phoenix. How can we ever match up to that?"

Tu Xiupei was still crying when she heard these words, but a glint of viciousness flashed across her face. How dare they imply that she was a chicken!

"Big Brother Jin..." Tu Xiupei sobbed and sniffled softly as she looked at Xi Jin, hoping that he would speak up for her.

Xi Jin frowned and put the letter of recommendation on the table. "If one is already a phoenix, she remains one even if she can no longer fly."

His Dai'er was the sort of woman who would never cry no matter how terribly she was bullied. Was this woman really Dai'er?

He started to have doubts.

"Big Brother Jin," Tu Xiupei looked at him gratefully with tears in her eyes. He liked her, after all, and she was sure that she was his phoenix.

"But..."
