"Your most important thing right now is to get into the university of your dreams. Does it matter if you have friends or not? If they ostracize you, just say, 'I don't care to be friends with you.' Hold your head high, straighten your back, and look at them with disdain. They ostracize you because they want to see you helpless and panicked. If you act like you don't care, they'll be the ones panicking. If you get into the Communication University, they'll regret not being friends with you."

Bai Ying hugged her arm tightly and whispered, "But I'm not as strong as you. I'm still afraid. I'm afraid they'll all hate me and wonder if I've done something wrong."

"Don't be nervous. What do you think is not good enough for you?"

“I…I’m not pretty, my family isn’t good enough, and I’m not from Jincheng. Although my household registration is with my maternal grandfather, I don’t even have a home.”

Lin Wanwan interrupted her, "Bai Ying, this is your home. Your room was carefully prepared by us, and the furniture was also carefully selected. It's not a guest room; it's the kind of treatment only family members receive."

"Also, what's wrong with your family background?"

“I don’t have parents, and my brother is just a soldier.”

Lin Wanwan looked at Bai Ying with a complicated expression and said, "Although your brother is only a regimental commander for now, he is a colonel. Moreover, I heard from my godfather that your brother will be promoted soon and may be transferred to the capital. Do you have some misunderstanding about your family?"

Lin Wanwan looked at her speechlessly, "Are you trying to show off to me, or do you have no concept of military ranks at all? Do you want me to explain it to you?"
