Although the family had already celebrated the day the admission results came out.
But as the start of the school year approached, Guan Wenru still hosted another banquet for her friends to celebrate with the children.
That day, the Guan family courtyard was even more lively than during the Spring Festival.
Guan Wenru specially invited the two best chefs from the restaurant to cook at her home.
Two large tables of sumptuous food were set up in the courtyard, the aroma filling the air.
It was both a celebration of the triplets' academic success and a family reunion.
Duan Feifei arrived with her honest and simple husband, her 8-year-old son, and her 6-year-old daughter.
Duan Feifei's husband was not originally eligible to return to the city, but a few years ago, Guan Wenru and He Yanzhi had already helped her resolve her husband's household registration and employment issues.
So their family is living a fairly happy life now.
Moreover, after several years of hard work, Duan Feifei is now an indispensable financial director of the Ruyi Group. She has become much more composed and capable. However, when she looks at her two mischievous children, her eyes still reveal the gentleness that life has honed.
Besides Duan Feifei's family, Xi Mufan and Bai Yun, close friends of Guan Wenru and her husband, were also present today.
The couple also arrived with their thirteen-year-old daughter, Xi Xingyun.
Little Lucky, with her ponytail, was lively and clever. As soon as she entered the door, she circled around the three tall and handsome older brothers, her eyes full of admiration.
She was a cheerful and talkative girl. After greeting the elders, she couldn't wait to look at her three older brothers, her voice filled with pride, "Brother He Yi, Brother He Qi, you guys are amazing! You got into Tsinghua University! And Brother He Sheng, you would look so handsome in your military uniform!"
Hearing her words, He Sheng couldn't help but strike a cool pose, proudly raising his chin. "Of course! Although my brains can't compare to my older brothers, my good looks are unmatched by them. Little Lucky, you really have the best eye!"
"..." This remark made everyone present burst into laughter.
Guan Wenru couldn't help but raise her hand and pat his head, "I just praised you, and you're already getting cocky!"
He Sheng chuckled and quickly hid to the side.
Bai Yun then took Guan Wenru's hand and sincerely praised her, "Sister, you are so lucky! These three children are both good-looking and talented. I'm so envious!"
Look at my daughter, Xingyun! She's like a little monkey all the time, never improving her studies, and she has absolutely no class as a girl. What's going to happen to her? It's not a big deal if she doesn't become a top student, but I'm afraid she'll be stuck with me and her dad and never get married!
"!" Xi Xingyun immediately objected, pouting, "Mom, what are you saying? I'm so beautiful, I can rely on my looks even if I can't rely on my talent! How could I possibly not be able to get married!"
"Hahahaha!" The adults immediately burst into laughter, clearly amused by her tone and expression.
He Sheng always liked to tease her, and at this moment he deliberately looked her up and down, saying, "Don't be so sure, if you don't study hard, you might really end up being a burden to your aunt and uncle."
"He Sheng!" Xi Xingyun angrily punched him, "If I can't get married in the future, I'll cling to you!"
"Oh my god!" He Sheng exclaimed dramatically as he ran away. "I don't want you, you crybaby!"
"He Sheng, you're asking for it!" Xi Xingyun angrily chased after him and hit him.
The adults were so engrossed in the scene that they forgot all about home.
Watching the children play, Duan Feifei couldn't help but sigh, "You all know how to teach children. The triplets and Lucky Four have different personalities, but they are all excellent. You have raised them so well."
Guan Wenru and He Yanzhi exchanged a glance, their eyes smiling.
They didn't think they had done anything to cultivate the children; rather, they believed the children were naturally kind, and they had simply provided the right guidance. Everything else was up to the children's destiny.
The crowd surrounded the triplets, showering them with praise.
Qin Yue and Guan Yuanxiu both had proud smiles on their faces.
As they were chatting, Guan Wenru suddenly noticed that her younger brother, Guan Hongqi, was standing alone under the eaves, holding a cup of tea in his hand, his eyes somewhat vacant, and his face carrying a hint of loneliness that was out of place with the festive atmosphere.
Guan Wenru understood immediately. Finding a moment, she quietly walked to Guan Hongqi's side and gently tugged at his arm, saying, "Come with me for a moment."
She pulled Guan Hongqi into the adjacent main room, shutting him out of the noise outside.
As soon as she closed the door, she asked directly, "What's going on? Why are you hiding away in peace and quiet on such a happy day? I saved a seat for you, why didn't you invite Li Jing? She's a teacher at a school now, she shouldn't be so busy during the summer vacation, right?"
Guan Hongqi leaned against the octagonal table, and upon hearing this, his dejected expression deepened.
He raised his hand and scratched his neatly combed hair, somewhat irritated and with an undisguised sense of frustration, his voice muffled, "She...she's not free today."
Guan Wenru raised an eyebrow. "No time? What could you possibly have on the weekend?"
As if a sore spot had been hit, Guan Hongqi sighed and said dejectedly, "She went on a blind date."
"?!" Guan Wenru was stunned by these words, her eyes widening in surprise. "A blind date?! Hongqi, tell me properly, what's going on between you two?"
"It's been four years! From when you were studying for the college entrance exam together until now, your relationship has always been ambiguous. When things were good, you could eat and watch movies together, and when things were bad, you wouldn't contact each other for months. I thought you two had already naturally progressed to a relationship, so why did she suddenly go on a blind date?"
Guan Hongqi's face was filled with confusion and frustration. He looked up at his sister, his eyes filled with a bewilderment that he himself couldn't understand.
"Sis, I don't know either. I really don't know what went wrong. I feel like... she seems really annoyed with me."
Guan Wenru frowned, her eyes filled with confusion. "Annoying you? How could that be? If you hadn't provoked her, would she have maintained contact with you for four years? Hongqi, did you do something to upset her?"
