Chapter 123 It's a pity he's not a screenwriter
With only two months left until the college entrance examination, Gu Ji was buried in a sea of questions every day and hadn't gone out to relax for a long time. Dan Anwen saw this and felt a little sorry for him.
"Would you like to go to the engagement party tonight to relax, little one?" Dan Anwen pushed open the study door and looked at Gu Ji, who was engrossed in his homework.
The girl was so engrossed in the exam paper on her desk that she didn't hear what the man was saying at all.
"Huh?" Gu Ji raised a bewildered face, blinked her almond-shaped eyes, and asked, "Uncle Dan, what did you say?"
A hint of helplessness and heartache flashed in Dan Anwen's dark eyes. He felt that if she continued to study like this, she would become stupid.
It would be easy for a child to get into the Chinese Language and Literature program at Nan'an University with her grades, but for some reason she is still forcing herself to study.
Dan Anwen sighed softly, her light brown pupils softening as if they had been shattered by light, making her incredibly gentle. "Would you like to attend the engagement party tonight? It'll be a good time to catch your breath."
Gu Ji glanced at the exam paper beside him, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Will it take a long time?"
Dan Anwen patted the girl's head with his warm hand, his voice deep, "Little girl, don't push yourself too hard."
A hint of unease flashed in Gu Ji's clear almond-shaped eyes. She was studying so hard because she wanted to gradually narrow the gap between herself and Uncle Dan.
"I know," Gu Ji nodded obediently.
Dan Anwen watched as she verbally agreed, but her eyes honestly stared at the test paper on the table. For a moment, he didn't know whether to feel sorry for her or be angry with her.
It's good to work hard, but pushing yourself to the brink of despair puts too much psychological pressure on someone your age.
Dan Anwen affectionately pinched the girl's pert nose and said with a smile, "Then come with me to the engagement party tonight."
"Okay." Gu Ji knew she couldn't refuse; Uncle Dan always felt that her excessive hard work would harm her physical and mental health.
......
In the evening, after Dan Anwen and Gu Ji finished their makeup and styling, they took a car to the engagement banquet.
When they arrived at the hotel entrance, Gu Ji realized that she had forgotten to ask whose engagement party it was, but that wasn't important, and she wasn't particularly concerned.
When she saw the bride-to-be, she was slightly surprised.
Just a few months ago, she was on blind dates with Uncle Dan, how come she found a suitable marriage partner so quickly?
When Weng Yunlan saw Dan Anwen's figure, a hint of surprise flashed through her mind, but she maintained a happy and proper smile on her face.
She sent an engagement invitation to Dan Anwen, thinking that such a busy man wouldn't come, since their families weren't very close and their companies didn't cooperate closely.
If it weren't for their blind date last time, she might not have had a way to send him an engagement invitation.
"Mr. Dan, I am really happy that you could come to my engagement party." Weng Yunlan stepped forward with a smile, her demeanor generous and proper, showing no sign of any unpleasant blind date between the two of them.
Dan An smiled politely but distantly, her tone indifferent, "Congratulations to Vice President Weng on finding a suitable marriage partner."
"Thank you for your blessings, Mr. Dan." Weng Yunlan smiled.
She didn't know if he was the right person to marry, but she knew that her Weng family would be the biggest beneficiary in this business marriage.
Although the groom's family background cannot compare with the Dan family, it is still one of the top wealthy families in Nan'an City. Their marriage can be considered a powerful alliance.
Compared to romantic love, she values the profits her husband's family can bring to her family's company more. In her world, love is the most unreliable thing; only power and money are eternal.
"And who is this?" Weng Yunlan's gaze fell on the obedient Gu Ji beside the man, a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
She had never heard of the president of the Dan Group bringing any female companions to banquets, and the girl in front of her didn't look very old.
Dan Anwen smiled, his eyes almost overflowing with doting affection. He turned to the girl and introduced her, "This is the little girl in my family. I brought her here to share in the joy."
When Weng Yunlan saw a gentle smile appear on Dan Anwen's perpetually expressionless face, she was slightly surprised.
As far as she knew, there were two girls among the younger generation of the Dan family. She had met Dan Shu before, so the one in front of her should be the granddaughter that Dan's mother had recognized.
"I hope Mr. Dan and Miss Gu have a good time. I'll head over to get back to work now," Weng Yunlan said with a smile after greeting the two of them.
Dan Anwen nodded politely and distantly.
After Weng Yunlan left, Gu Ji came to his senses and asked what it was like to see the blind date of the person he liked getting engaged.
"What are you spacing out for?" Dan Anwen lowered her eyes and looked at Gu Ji, who was staring blankly at her.
Gu Ji exclaimed, "Uncle Dan, your former blind date has gotten engaged?"
“Yes, she’s engaged.” A dark glint flashed in Dan Anwen’s deep, dark eyes.
He brought the children to Weng Yunlan's engagement party today for two reasons.
One reason is that even if the girl doesn't like him now, he doesn't want her to have any lingering resentment in the future. If he doesn't handle blind dates well, it could become a minefield in the future.
Another purpose is that the child is studying very hard now, so I brought her to this kind of place to play and relax.
As the two were talking, Guan Xiang suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Zhao Zhao, I just found a really fun place, come with me." Guan Xiang took Gu Ji's hand.
Guan Xiang secretly gave Gu Ji a look, and then secretly glanced at the man beside her.
Now she no longer feels fear towards her uncle, but rather a sense of scrutiny. After all, as Zhao Zhao's own sister, she needs to carefully observe what kind of person the man she likes is.
Dan Anwen keenly sensed the probing intent in Guan Xiang's eyes, which left him somewhat puzzled.
He always gives people a chill down their spine, but on the surface, the man remains calm and collected.
"Uncle Dan, I'm going to play with Xiangxiang now." Gu Ji glanced at the man.
Dan Anwen nodded slightly. He had something to do with Shen Jiyang, and it wouldn't be convenient to bring the child along.
"Xiangxiang, what do you want from me?" Guan Xiang led her to a corner mysteriously, her expression extremely strange.
After looking around, Guan Xiang said softly, "Do you know that this bride-to-be went on a blind date with Uncle Dan today?"
Gu Ji, not understanding, nodded.
Guan Xiang's round eyes widened instantly, and her tone became slightly more serious, "You knew that you still came to her engagement party with Uncle Dan?"
"What's wrong?" Gu Ji's bright eyes were full of confusion.
Is there a problem with attending the engagement party of Uncle Dan's former blind date?
"What else?" Guan Xiang tugged at Gu Ji's clothes and whispered in her ear, "Aren't you afraid that woman will back out of the engagement after seeing Uncle Dan? And then she'll stage a scene where she drags Uncle Dan away from the wedding."
"After all, Uncle Dan is a man of exceptional talent. Which woman wouldn't be interested in him? Are you really that at ease?"
Gu Ji pursed his lips, his smooth forehead covered in black lines, and said helplessly, "Xiangxiang, it's a pity your imagination isn't good enough for screenwriting."
Guan Xiang looked at Gu Ji with a look of disappointment and frustration, as if he had no sense of crisis whatsoever.
Gu Ji sighed helplessly, a slight smile on her face. She knew Guan Xiang was worried about her relationship, but she knew Uncle Dan's character; he wasn't an impulsive person.
If he truly loved Weng Yunlan, she wouldn't be engaged today.
Besides, she could tell that Weng Yunlan had no feelings for Uncle Dan; the way she looked at Uncle Dan was exactly the same as the way she looked at RMB.
"Believe me, Uncle Dan won't drag someone else's bride-to-be away from her wedding," Gu Ji said half-jokingly.
Guan Xiang pursed her lips, agreeing that she believed Uncle Dan, but in her heart she felt that Zhao Zhao was still too naive, and she would have to keep a close eye on Zhao Zhao in the future.
What if Uncle Dan says one thing to people and another behind their backs?
Previously, Guan Xiang treated Dan Anwen with respect for elders, but now she judges him entirely by the standards of a sister's future partner.
After all, if he and Zhao Zhao get together in the future, then she will be like family to him, so naturally she will have to examine him with high standards.
The fear and awe in her heart vanished completely. She no longer needed alcohol to embolden herself. For the sake of Zhao Zhao's future happiness, she was now inquiring everywhere about Dan Anwen's experiences from childhood to adulthood.
The results showed that he had excellent grades from childhood to adulthood, had no bad habits, was chaste, and had never been around a woman.
Guan Xiang was very satisfied with this, since not many people in their upper-class circle were clean; they all had some flaws.
Seeing Guan Xiang standing there in a daze, nodding and shaking her head, Gu Ji said she couldn't understand.
