Qiu Yingying is reborn and bound to a learning system.

On a weekend evening, the atmosphere in the courtyard of Qiu Yingying's villa was very relaxed.

She had arranged everything in advance. The nanny went to the market early in the morning to buy ingredients, clean, cut, and plate them, categorizing them neatly on the long table. Qiu Yingying didn't want to do the work herself, so she hired a professional barbecue chef to handle the entire grilling process. All she had to do was chat and eat with her friends.

Qiu Yingying's life is very simple now. She has long since handed over the management of Shimei Youpin Live Streaming Company to professional managers. She only receives dividends and does not have to worry about daily affairs, meetings, social engagements, or monitoring data. She has no financial pressure at all.

As dusk settled, the courtyard lights came on, and the oven heated up.

The chef stood in front of the grill, his movements practiced and skillful. He first laid out the pork belly and short ribs, the fat dripping onto the charcoal and making a soft sizzling sound, the aroma quickly filling the entire yard. Chicken wings, prawns, and sausages followed in turn, and vegetables were also placed on the grill: corn, king oyster mushrooms, garlic vermicelli wrapped in foil, and enoki mushrooms, each one grilled to perfection.

Besides the grilled meat, there were also cucumber salad, wood ear mushrooms, and cherry tomatoes on the table, which were refreshing and helped to cut through the greasiness. A row of drinks was laid out: plum juice, sparkling water, freshly squeezed juice, and a health-preserving tea brewed by Qiu Yingying according to a traditional Chinese medicine recipe, which was warm and soothing to the stomach.

Around six o'clock, the sisters arrived one after another.

Andy was the first to enter.

She has changed a lot over the years. Her career is stable at the top of the industry, her work rhythm is regular, and she is no longer as anxious and tense as before.

She and Liang Jiaozhou have been married for many years and live a stable life. They respect and trust each other. They have a daughter named Shengsheng, who has just started junior high school.

Because the family's assets are so large, Sheng Sheng has to inherit her mother's assets, her father's assets, and her grandparents' assets. From a young age, Sheng Sheng has to learn about asset management, basic law, company knowledge, and international etiquette. Sheng Sheng is a pretty, sunny, and cheerful little girl who is very attached to her parents. However, her father always wants to spend time alone with her mother and always sends her away, which makes her very distressed.

While other children went out to play on weekends, she spent most of her time in class and learning how to manage the assets she would inherit in the future. Although Andy felt sorry for her child's hard work, she also knew that this was the path she had to take in her growth, even if the assets were a little bit too much.

After Andy sat down, she quietly watched the grill, eating a light meal of short ribs, shrimp, and some vegetables. She ate slowly, occasionally exchanging a few words with Qiu Yingying. She seemed much gentler and more at ease.

Qu Xiaoxiao arrived shortly after.

As soon as she entered the door, the courtyard immediately became lively.

Her company has been operating for many years, and its scale and profits have long surpassed those of the Qu family in its early days, establishing a firm foothold in the industry. She remains very busy every day, flying around to negotiate collaborations, make decisions, and expand business, but she enjoys it all. Money is no longer an issue for her; she enjoys the sense of accomplishment from her work even more.

In matters of the heart, she has always maintained her own pace. She doesn't get married, doesn't want to be tied down by anyone, and when she meets someone she likes, she'll start a relationship; if the relationship feels good, she'll continue; if it doesn't work out, she'll part ways amicably, without dragging things out or wasting her time. She lives freely and clearly, shaping her life into the way she wants.

As soon as she sat down, she went straight to the barbecue, picked up a skewer of pork belly, and ate it with relish. While eating, she joked with everyone, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed.

When Guan Juer arrived, she was carrying a bag of desserts.

After working for so many years, she has steadily risen through the ranks, achieving a considerable position and income, and has long since achieved financial freedom. Instead of following her parents' expectations of marrying just anyone when she was young, she has always followed her own feelings and bought a house in Ode to Joy.

Living alone, having a fulfilling job, enjoying hobbies in my spare time, being neither impatient nor complacent, and free from anxiety.

She is waiting for someone she truly wants to marry and is willing to enter into marriage with; until then, she wants to live her own life well.

Guan Juer didn't talk much. She quietly helped pass plates and set the table, eating roasted corn and small potatoes. She was gentle and composed.

Fan Shengmei arrived last, and greeted everyone with a smile as soon as she entered.

She is now the head of the beauty department at Shimei Youpin, having earned this position entirely through her own abilities. She excels at leading her team, generating sales, and negotiating brand collaborations. Her income is stable and substantial, she has long since achieved financial independence, and she has completely escaped the troubles of the past.

She is no longer burdened by her family, no longer wrongs herself, and no longer tries to please others for a sense of security. The current Fan Shengmei loves beauty, understands life, loves herself, buys things she likes, lives a comfortable life, finds value in her work, has confidence in her life, and is confident and relaxed as a whole.

After sitting down, she first picked up a skewer of chicken wings, took a bite, and exclaimed how delicious it was. She'd been busy and stressed at work lately, and this barbecue was a perfect way for her to relax.

Five people sat around the table, the oven sizzling and emitting a constant aroma.

The chef grilled the food methodically, serving plate after plate. Everyone ate and chatted without any formalities or restraint. They were just old friends who had gathered together to talk about their recent situations, chat about their daily lives, complain about their work, reminisce about their days at Ode to Joy, and make plans to travel together.

Qiu Yingying sat in the middle, listening to everyone talk, occasionally chiming in. She peacefully enjoyed her time with her friends.

Andy talked about Sheng Sheng's study schedule, his voice tinged with a mix of helplessness and pride.

Qu Xiaoxiao complained that she had recently flown to several countries. Although she was tired, she was very happy that the project was successfully negotiated.

Guan Juer said she's been seeing an exhibition recently, and spends her weekends at home reading and cooking, enjoying a very comfortable life.

Fan Shengmei said that the beauty department has recently launched several new series, and the data is good, making things easier for the team.

Qiu Yingying rarely talks about her studies, but only chats with everyone about her travels. Most of the time, she just listens quietly, with a calm and composed demeanor and a gentle smile.

Her life may seem ordinary to outsiders, but it is actually quite rich inside. Traditional Chinese medicine, ancient martial arts, detoxification, music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the Six Arts have gradually settled into her, making her calm, stable, and confident. She has the freedom to set off at any time, the ability to face the unknown, and a group of friends who will never abandon her.

The courtyard was brightly lit, the charcoal fire was warm, and the aroma of meat mingled with the evening breeze, making one feel exceptionally at ease.

Life is not full of dramatic ups and downs, but it is also full of setbacks and difficulties. Happiness and joy are what give us the courage to move forward. Reuniting with old friends is a rare joy in life.

It was just a regular weekend, a time for everyone to enjoy a hot barbecue, chat about their lives, and share updates.

Andy has a stable family and career.

Qu Xiaoxiao has her own free life and business empire.

Guan Juer has her own independent rhythm and composed choices.

Fan Shengmei has her own story of overcoming adversity and growing up with self-love.

Qiu Yingying possesses a low-key and insightful nature, exceptional skills, and a free spirit.

They all became the people they wanted to be when they were young.

They were not forced to compromise, were not defeated by life, and were not trapped by worldly rules.

Each person strives, each shines, and each achieves their own fulfillment.

As night deepened and everyone had finished eating, they began to drink tea and chat.

The fire in the oven gradually died down, but the aroma still lingered in the air.

They often get together and grow together, never losing each other over time.

Looking at her sisters in front of her, Qiu Yingying felt calm and content.

In this life, I have achieved financial freedom, physical well-being, spiritual fulfillment, constant friends, and healthy family. I have done meaningful things, stayed true to my original aspirations, and prepared for the unknown future.

No need to chase after others' approval, no need to live up to others' expectations; be free, peaceful, fulfilled, and happy.

For Qiu Yingying, this is the best life she could have.
