Jiang Zhe wasn’t expecting a request like that from Ning Ran. He could not make big decision so he turned to Nan Chen and hoped that Nan Chen would come up with a solution.
As Nan Chen’s personal assistant, Jiang Zhe knew all about the rules and practices of wealthy families. It was virtually impossible for Ning Ran to marry into the family without first signing a prenup.
Most women dreamed of signing the prenup and marrying into the Nan Family.
Ning Ran requesting to forgo that prenup meant that she was hitting the most sensitive subject, and Jiang Zhe felt like that wedding could no longer happen.
“What else?” Nan Chen made a surprise move and didn’t deny Ning Ran’s request because he realized that Ning Ran had deliberately made such a ridiculous demand to get out of getting married.
Nan Chen wanted to see what else that woman could come up with.
Nan Chen agreeing to that condition had also surprised Ning Ran.
That Poker Face wants her to keep listing out her demands? What is going on?
“Ms. Ding, please continue,” said Jiang Zhe who to Ning Ran.
“Secondly…”
Ning Ran was a little stuck. She thought that the first condition would make the Poker Face flip out, but he remained calm so she was a little lost and couldn’t think of another request.
“What is the second request?” asked Jiang Zhe who looked like he was taking it seriously and was making notes.
“Well, secondly…”
Ning Ran’s mind raced as she struggled to come up with a second demand. She must think of something that Nan Chen would never agree to!
“What is it?” said Nan Chen harshly, “I don’t want to waste my time here.”
“Secondly, we’re not allowed to get divorced within 50 years. If we were ever divorced before that, I will be granted 60% of Nan Xing’s wealth,” said Ning Ran.
Nan Chen and Jiang Zhe were both stunned.
What kind of request is that? Legally enforcing a 50-year marriage meant that it was for life!
The marriage law of the country allowed their citizens to get married and divorced freely so they had never heard of legally enforcing a marriage for life!
Everyone wished to have a long-lasting marriage, but no one ever legally demanded a lifetime’s worth of companionship right at the beginning.
That was absolutely unreasonable!
Watching the shock on Jiang Zhe’s and Nan Chen’s face almost made Ning Ran smile.
She knew that her requests were unreasonable, and she was proud to have thought of it.
That’s right. I’m making demands that you guys couldn’t possibly agree to. Hah! I’d like to see how you’re going to force me to get married now!
“Are you f*cking kidding? Is there even such a thing as a lifelong legal bond? What if someone cheated? Are they not allowed to get a divorce even then? And even if there was a divorce, you’d still get more than half of his estate! Not even in your dreams!” shouted Nan Chen who was furious.
Then, Nan Chen realized that he had been played by the woman in front of him.
No one would ever agree to the conditions she had listed out. She did it on purpose.
“You guys think about it for now. If you agree to my conditions, I’ll get married. If not, we’ll call off the wedding,” said Ning Ran who was ending the conversation while she was still ahead.
“Don’t overdo it,” growled Nan Chen, “The Nan Family will not allow that!”
“I know. I understand that the Nan family would not allow that kind of behavior. That was why I didn’t want to get married,” said Ning Ran who was a little smug, “If the Nan Family is willing to be more flexible and agree to my terms, I will consider getting married.”
Nan Chen saw that little smugness from Ning Ran and became even angrier.
“You will pay for your disobedience,” said Nan Chen.
