| could only turn and leave.
"William!" | heard Lina call my nagain. When | turned back to look at her, her eyes were sorrowful. "Do you
still hate me? Can't we even be friends anymore?"
| gave a bitter smile and shook my head. "Forget it. It's hard for people in a relationship to stay friends. Besides,
we didn't even break up on good terms, so being friends would be awkward. Just take care of yourself."
"What's so awkward about it? Didn't we get along fine just now?" She was so persistent that | didn't want to say
anything harsh. Especially after seeing her change, kindness, and love for the puppy, | felt reluctant to say
anything bad.
| decided to self-deprecate instead. "A loser likebeing friends with a beautiful woman like you would only
makefeel inferior. People would mock me. You should find a rich heir to be friends with."
"William!" Her voice wavered, full of hurt.

"Are you mocking me? | know your family isn't rich, and you like to pretend that you are, but now | understand
why you do it."
| was stunned and genuinely curious. "Why do you think | pretend?"
"In this world, wealthy heirs certainly have more advantages. Even with a bad character, many still chase after
them because of their money. But someone like you, despite being good-hearted and kind, will still be looked
down upon."
Lina lowered her head, her eyes filled with guilt.
"In the past, | was one of those who looked down on you, but | was wrong. | won't do that anymore. I've realized
my mistake. Whether someone's a rich heir or not, it's all just appearances.
"Those people don't even treat ordinary people like us as humans. They'll treatlike a dog even if | force my
way into their circle. So, I'd rather be myself, live an ordinary life, marry an ordinary man, and live a happy,
normal life.
"I won't look down on you for being poor. I'm poor, too, but I'm willing to work hard and build my own future with
my own hands. Givea chance. Let's just be friends, okay?"
Hearing her say all that was really surprising. It seemed like she had truly realized the truth.
However, | wasn't sure if this was just a temporary change or if she had truly changed for good.
Besides, our relationship was already a bit awkward, so | just smiled and said, "We'll see. Right now, | have too
many friends to take care of."
| waved my hand and walked away.
| heard Lina shout from behind me, "William! know you still don't trust me, but will prove to you with my actions
that | will never look down on you, even if you're just a vain,
poor guy! Just wait for me!
| kept walking. I didn't know if she was complimenting or insulting me. Why did |
suddenly beca vain loser?
After returning to my dorm and putting down the textbooks, |
stretched my legs on the banet
From a distance, | could still see
Lina holding a small bowl, giving water to the puppy in the bushes below.
A beautiful woman and a puppy-it was quite a sight.
Just then, my phone rang. It was Mason.
"Mr. White, all the paperwork is ready, but you must csign and stamp it."
"Alright. I'll be there soon."
Once | took care of this matter that day, | would start the renovations immediately, aiming to finish before
tomorrow, and have Jane move in then.
| would also have Sophia bring the staff she had gathered.
The building would officially be rented out and open for business!
