Ning Ran stood by the French windows in Nan Chen’s office, looking at the bustling city under flickering lights.
The world was beautiful, yet filthy.
It was so filthy that some people used the ashes of the dead to blackmail others. Human nature was just pure evil.
What if Nan Chen refuses to help?
Should I just sit and watch that wicked woman, Luo Yi, defile mom’s ashes? Mom had suffered so much when she was alive, and she can’t even rest in peace after death.
Ning Ran felt helpless and was on the verge of tears.
Just then, the coffee was delivered, but the security guard wouldn’t let the delivery man in.
It was natural as not anyone could enter the CEO’s office.
Ning Ran collected the coffee downstairs and delivered it to Nan Chen’s desk.
Nan Chen didn’t look up at all.
“The coffee is here. Drink it while it’s hot,” Ning Ran said in an ingratiating manner.
Nan Chen kept quiet.
“I bought coffee just to please you, and just so you would listen to me,” Ning Ran continued.
She had rarely put herself so low with such humble words.
Nan Chen eventually lifted his head slightly, but looked down again soon and continued working as if Ning Ran was invisible.
“I need money urgently right now, and I don’t know any other rich people. I can only borrow some from you,” Ning Ran added.
Nan Chen remained silent.
“I…”
Ning Ran wanted to continue speaking when Nan Chen suddenly raised his head, looking coldly at the former.
Ning Ran’s mouth was agape with surprise, and she was afraid to speak anymore in fear that Nan Chen would be sick and tired of her.
“As I said, as long as you give up custody of the children and leave Flower City, I’ll give you a large sum of money. Enough to clothe and feed you for the rest of your life.”
Ning Ran was relieved when Nan Chen eventually spoke.
It was better for him to reprimand her than not uttering a single word.
“But I can’t give up on my children. They are my life, and I won’t exchange them for anything.”
Ning Ran was adamant in her stand when it came to her children.
“Yet you’re borrowing money from me?” Nan Chen was really impatient.
“I’ll pay you back real soon,” Ning Ran replied.
Naturally, Nan Chen didn’t believe in her words. She didn’t need to look for him if she was just going to borrow a small amount of money.
If she was going to borrow a lot of money, would she even able to pay them off at once? It was definitely unrealistic.
In conclusion, this woman was playing tricks, and she was insincere.
“Get out,” Nan Chen sneered, evicting her from the office.
“I…”
“Out!” Nan Chen raised his voice, his tone harsh.
“Please!” Ning Ran begged softly.
Nan Chen was momentarily stunned. Did she just say “please”?
“I wouldn’t have come to you if there’s any other way. I know you hate me, and that you look down on me,” Ning Ran said.
Well, at least you know your place, Nan Chen thought.
“It’s really for urgent use if I’m borrowing money from you. I’ll die a horrible death if I lie to you.”
“How much do you want?” Nan Chen suddenly asked.
Ning Ran was overjoyed. Does this mean he agrees?
“Ten million.”
What a sizeable request!
Even if the Nan family was filthy rich, they
How brazen of her to demand for ten million!
This was simply nonsense to Nan Chen’s ears. You just borrowed ten million from me and you’re saying you’ll pay me as soon as possible? Who are you kidding?
