Chapter 67 Hmm, good boy
There were still a large number of college students on campus on the weekend. Because of the man's outstanding appearance, the two of them were stared at the whole way, and some female students even secretly took pictures of them.
After the competition, the girl relaxed and only then remembered what had happened with Dan's mother. "Uncle Dan, didn't you tell Grandma Dan about us?"
Dan Anwen replied calmly, "I was on a business trip in the United States at the time, so I forgot."
"Oh," the girl said, indicating understanding, then hesitated, "What was Grandma Dan's reaction?"
"My mom told me to take good care of you and not to bully you." The man slightly curled the corners of his mouth, and his eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses were unfathomable.
Hearing Grandma Dan say this, the girl felt relieved, as she had been worried that Grandma Dan would disagree.

"Professor Zhou, who are these two?" a middle-aged female teacher from the Chinese department asked Zhou Shuxin, carrying a tray of food.
Dan's mother, Zhou Shuxin, smiled and said, "This is my son, and the other is my granddaughter."
When Gu Zhaodi heard Dan's mother say that she was her granddaughter, she was slightly stunned. She didn't expect that she had become family in Dan's grandmother's eyes.
"Your family has great genes. Your son is handsome and your granddaughter is beautiful and elegant."
The mother's smile became more genuine. "Thank you for your compliment."
"Then I'll be going now."
"good."
Seeing the middle-aged teacher walk away, Dan An raised an eyebrow and said, "Mom, when did this little girl become your granddaughter?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Mother Dan was unwilling. "So what if she's your niece? Can't she be my granddaughter?"
"You have a problem with that? What's wrong with Zhao Zhao becoming my granddaughter? She hasn't objected yet." Mother Dan looked at the composed Dan Anwen with displeasure.
"I dare not object. It's good for the little girl to be your granddaughter; it'll be better if there's another person to look after her." Dan Anwen placed the peeled shrimp meat into the girl's plate and slowly wiped his hands with a wet wipe.
"Of course, being my granddaughter is much better than being your niece." Mother Dan was like a sulking child, determined to compete with the man.
Dan Anwen smiled slightly but didn't reply.
The girl eating shrimp felt a warm feeling flow through her heart as she watched the two bickering in front of her.
"Zhao Zhao, would you like to be my granddaughter?" Only then did Mother Dan realize that she hadn't asked the girl's opinion yet.
After listening, the girl blinked and looked at the man sitting next to her.
A slight smile appeared in Dan Anwen's eyes, and the corners of his lips curved almost imperceptibly. He patted the top of the girl's head and said, "Little one, it's your decision."
Seeing the two people in front of her acting as if no one else was around, Dan's mother just wanted to facepalm. When did Zhao Zhao become so obedient to Dan Anwen? She even needed to ask for his opinion?
The girl looked at Dan's mother with sincere eyes, a slight smile on her lips, "Grandma Dan is very happy to be your granddaughter."
"Shouldn't we change how we address each other?" Mother Dan felt that since they were family, they could drop the surname.
"Huh?" The girl was a little confused. What did she mean by changing her address?
"What you mean by 'Grandma Dan' is that you should call her Grandma," the man explained.
"Hello, Grandma." The girl smiled shyly.
Unexpectedly, Dan Anwen spoke again, his tone somewhat teasing, "Then what should you call me?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "Uncle?"
"Hmm, good boy." The man's smile widened, and the mother opposite him was stunned. How many years had it been since she had seen her son laugh so freely?
After dinner, Dan's mother told the girl to go home and wait for news. She said she would inform the girl as soon as the results of the competition were released.
By the way, I'll have Dan Anwen bring the girl back to Danyuan for dinner next week so she can formally meet my family.
To be honest, Dan's mother is quite happy to have another granddaughter.
Dan Shu is not her biological granddaughter, but the granddaughter of her elder brother and sister-in-law. She only moved to Dan Garden two years ago after all of Dan Shu's immediate family members passed away.
Dan Shu is already a freshman. He usually lives at school and only goes back to Dan Yuan during holidays.
At home, Dan's mother could only deal with Dan Si, that brat. Fortunately, she now had a good granddaughter, Zhao Zhao.
For the next week, the girl's life was uneventful. Every day she went to school with Guan Xiang and the others, walked the dog, ate, and did the English homework assigned by the men.
Dan Anwen originally thought that since the girl had nominally become his niece, he could rightfully let her accept his money, but to his surprise, the girl still refused.
Gu Zhaodi felt that she couldn't ask for money in the name of her family, after all, she hadn't asked Guan's parents for money back then.
Just because we're now part of Uncle Dan's family doesn't mean we can take it for granted that we'll enjoy these privileges.
So the girl is still responsible for walking Guoguo, and the man still pays her a salary every month.
However, Dan Anwen made concessions to allow the girl to continue working, but on some condition.
This means that the girl cannot refuse anything her family gives her in the future.
The girl agreed without a second thought; she never expected the man to take care of all her living expenses.
They claimed it was a gift from their family and that they couldn't refuse their family's kindness.
Looking at the extra walk-in closet on the second floor, the girl fell into deep thought. She hadn't expected Uncle Dan to be waiting for her there.
Guan Xiang, standing next to her, was also a little confused. "Zhao Zhao, Uncle Dan spoils you too much."
This afternoon after school, Guan Xiang went back to Jinshan Villa with the girl to see the Guoguo she had mentioned.
Unexpectedly, upon entering and going upstairs, I discovered that the wall of the girl's room had been knocked down, creating a walk-in closet and a girl's dressing table filled with bottles and jars.
"I don't know either."
The girl stared in shock at the enormous walk-in closet before her, her legs trembling slightly. She regretted agreeing to Uncle Dan's request.
"I feel like Uncle Dan has a backup plan."
Guan Xiang looked at the clothes in the dressing room; they were all the latest or limited-edition styles of the season, and some brands even made Guan Xiang consider the price.
Guan Xiang glanced at the room's colors, which were the style initially chosen for the villa: sophisticated black, white, and gray tones with smooth textures. She had a premonition of Uncle Dan's next move.
"I'll have a good talk with Uncle Dan later." The girl took off her backpack.
"You still call me Uncle Dan?"
On her first day back at school, Guan Xiang learned from the girl that she had become Grandma Dan's granddaughter, which made her quite depressed.
She herself was only Zhao Zhao's nominal sworn sister, but unexpectedly, the Dan family beat her to it and became their child.
The girl scratched her head sheepishly, "I'm used to it, so I can't change it. Uncle Dan said I can call him whatever I like."
This made Guan Xiang sigh again. Although she was jealous that the Dan family had gotten there first and become closer to Zhao Zhao, she was also happy for Zhao Zhao, since there was now another family to protect the girl.
"Let's go, I'll take you to see Guoguo."
Once Guoguo's heat cycle was over, Dan Anwen and Gu Zhaodi took her to the vet for neutering.
This made Guoguo, the dog, depressed for a long time, and now he doesn't even go to the door to greet the girl when she comes home from school.
It spends all day hiding in its little nest, grieving that its eggs are gone, clearly unable to accept this reality.
"Guoguo?" The girl squatted in front of the dog villa, calling to the German Shepherd whose body was curled up inside.
Dan Anwen commissioned a large dog villa specifically for Guoguo to sleep in, but unexpectedly it has now become Guoguo's hiding place when she is depressed and sad.
"Awoo." Guoguo gave the girl a resentful look, clearly remembering who took it to the vet.
The girl couldn't help but chuckle at Guoguo's appearance, almost bursting out laughing. Luckily, she remembered that Guoguo was in a bad mood, and if she laughed at it, it might ignore her for the next ten days or so.
Guan Xiang, who was behind her, had no idea about Guo Guo's temper and laughed loudly.
Guoguo, inside the doghouse, instantly bared its teeth, looking fierce but not intimidating at all.
Seeing this, the girl quickly patted Guoguo's head, her expression serious, "Don't show your teeth."
The obedient Guoguo immediately withdrew its teeth, looking even more depressed.
Guoguo: It's bad enough that I'm going to be childless, but I can't even vent my emotions? How can a dog live like this?
Perhaps sensing that Guoguo's mood had worsened, the girl spoke up, "Guoguo, don't you want to go for a walk?"
The German Shepherd, whose ears had been drooping, immediately perked up and hurriedly got up to fetch its leash for the girl.
This is a rare opportunity to get some fresh air during the day, so who would turn down going out to play?
Seeing the German Shepherd wagging its tail like a lapdog, Guan Xiang couldn't help but give it a thumbs up, "Zhao Zhao, it's all thanks to you that you've tamed it so well."
Guan Xiang had no idea that all of this was thanks to Dan Anwen. If he hadn't been secretly pressuring Guoguo every day, Guoguo would have jumped on the girl's head long ago, since the girl doted on Guoguo.
