After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies

Chapter 401

Later, Zhi Xia and Pei Xiang left first, leaving Jiang Su Xin to stay behind and accompany her.

Just after they went out, Pei Xiang asked, "Auntie, she looks very wronged. Could her miscarriage also be caused by Pei Shuangshuang or her mother?"

After all, Pei Shuangshuang had a history.

If PingAn had not fallen prematurely, he would not have learned to speak and walk until he was a few years old. Fortunately he has recovered now and does not seem to have any problems. Otherwise, this child would have suffered under his aunt and grandmother all his life.

Pei Xiang sometimes sighed endlessly. To be stuck with such a mother-in-law and sister-in-law, she did not know how much bad karma she had in her previous life.

"I don't know about this either. You know I didn't even know about this until you guys told me in the past," Zhi Xia sighed and said, "Anyway, it's none of our business with their family affairs. We still have to live our own lives and can't help her."

Zhi Xia was determined to draw a clear line between them no matter what. Even though she now had to interact with Pei Jianguo for some work matters, she still maintained a strictly professional attitude and never talked about anything unrelated to work.

"I know you didn't know, but aren't you curious at all? Anyway I'm very curious," probably because of their close ages, Pei Xiang's interaction with her aunt was not like a junior and senior, but more like confidantes.

"I'm not curious at all," Zhi Xia smiled and asked her, "Come home with me to play?"

"No, there are still two little guys at home. I don't know when my mom will be back with her easily overflowing sympathy. I should go back first. I’ll come see you when I have time another day." Pei Meng said.

"Alright, be careful on your way. I should head back too," Zhi Xia said, riding away on her bike.

"Comrade An, your child's admission notice has arrived..."

Zhi Xia had just arrived at her door when someone called her. Looking back, she saw the postal worker who often delivered letters to her house.

"Congratulations, another university student from your family!"

Chenye’s admission notice was also delivered by him back then. He was the city’s top scorer in the college entrance examination, which caused quite a sensation at that time.

Although there was no fanfare this time, getting into university was no easy feat, let alone having two university students in the family. It was certainly something to be proud of.

"Thank you, thank you for your hard work..." Zhi Xia was genuinely happy.

Some familiar neighbors who were chilling outside also gathered around when they heard the news, asking about which university Wanqing got into.

After Zhi Xia was done, she finally went inside.

If nothing unexpected happens, it should be Jincheng University.

But she still had to wait for Wanqing to come home before opening it to see the specifics. Wanqing was not at home now and she did not know where she went.

The fruits of her diligent studies should be unveiled by herself for maximal delight.

When Su Ying came back and heard from the neighbors that Wanqing had been admitted to university, she hurried over.

"Little sister, which university did Wanqing get into?"

"Jincheng University. I just opened it before you came over," Zhi Xia quickly replied, welcoming her in, "Hurry in and sit down. Don't cook tonight. Bring your kids over for dinner. With just me and Wanqing, it feels a bit dull. It'd liven things up to celebrate a little for Wanqing too."

"A single dinner is not enough for celebration. Getting into university is a big deal. Other families would be elated. Nowadays university admission banquets are popular. We didn't do it when Chenye got in, but you should at least host two tables for Wanqing right?" Su Ying said.

"Let's not host an admission banquet. If you want to eat, we can treat our family to Hua Sheng tomorrow to celebrate," Zhi Xia said softly, "Jianguo's wife had a miscarriage. I just went to see her this afternoon when I came back. Although our families live separate lives, it would still be inappropriate to celebrate extravagantly at this time. "

"I see. As her aunt you certainly should avoid celebrations at this juncture, or it would offend others," Su Ying originally still felt she was just trying to keep a low profile and persuade her again, but hearing the reason, she felt it was quite sensible.

However, it was a pity. They should have celebrated grandly when Chenye got admitted last time. She saw other families in the neighbourhood celebrating every minor incident, taking in a lot of cash gifts over the years since they moved here. Even if they didn't lack money, it would at least feel more gratifying.

But Pei Jing and Zhi Xia did not want too much fanfare. Every joyous occasion was celebrated only amongst their family.

In Su Ying’s own words, if she did not accept cash gifts or care whether others held feasts, she would have one less thing to worry about.

So Su Ying did not stay for dinner because there was food prepared at home by her sister-in-law Zhou. She still wanted Zhi Xia and Wanqing to go over but Zhi Xia declined too.

Late at night, in the living room of the space.

Zhi Xia placed the last plate of fried prawns onto the dining table. Pei Jing and Chenye also took off their aprons and hung them aside after cooking.

Today’s meal was prepared by the father and son pair while Zhi Xia served the dishes. Wanqing was treated like a little princess with no chores and only had to sit down and wait to be served.

The triplets and Xiaoliu were away at a camping trip with An Zhiang, so they could not directly call them over.

Chenye looked much more mature after not seeing him for a few months. There was some fine fuzz under his nose becoming bushier.

Pei Jing told him not to start shaving too early or it would grow even more vigorously. Though he was eager to start, he still chose to heed his father’s advice.

Zhi Xia poured a glass of fruit juice for each of them, “Come, let’s use fruit juice in place of wine today. Let’s make the first toast to celebrate Wanqing the little princess’ admission into her ideal university...”

With a crisp ding, the glasses touched and the fruit juice swayed beautifully within.

A bashful look on her face, Wanqing said “I don’t think there’s a need to celebrate. Wouldn’t that make people uncomfortable? We didn't celebrate when brother got into Peking University.”

“My grades were good all the way so getting in was just a matter of course. What’s there to celebrate?” Chenye deliberately teased Wanqing, “You’re different. To get into university after working so hard, wouldn’t failing to properly celebrate make your efforts in vain?”

“What do you mean? My grades have always been very good too! Also, if not for mom and dad wanting me to stay in Jincheng, I could have easily gotten into Peking University with my grades too!” Wanqing grabbed Pei Jing’s arm, “Dad, look at how brother’s bullying me again. Help me teach him a lesson!”

“Alright, alright, I’m wrong okay? I won’t tease you anymore. My sister Wanqing is definitely the most outstanding. Getting into university is a trivial feat.”

“That’s more like it. I shall magnanimously forgive your boastful words then,” said Wanqing.

Seeing the siblings bickering, Zhi Xia and Pei Jing smiled at each other. Pei Jing placed a shelled prawn into Zhi Xia’s bowl.

“Eat it yourself too,” Zhi Xia mouthed to him before putting the prawn into her mouth.

The rich fragrance burst in her mouth. Gazing at the heartwarming scene before her eyes, she felt even death would be worthwhile at this moment.
