"Zilin is only in her second year now. Her academics might be lagging a little behind, but isn't there still one more year? It's not like she has no time left."
Liang Xiuqin was well aware of Yun Yuanfeng's character. If Yun Zilin only got admitted to a third-rate university, he would surely not let her continue studying. And, if she couldn't graduate from college, she could forget about getting into the upper class of Jingdu. If she really wanted to marry into a good family, she wouldn't even be able to satisfy the basic condition of a good degree, let alone the other criteria.
Furthermore, with a shining death star like Yun Xi as her older sister, all that people would hear and know about was her.
No matter how hard Yun Zilin tried, people would just compare her to Yun Xi, and it would be obvious who was the more outstanding one. When that happened, how could they notice how spectacular Zilin was?
