Later, a desperate Zhou Jili appeared at the Nan family's door, holding flowers and diamonds, pleading earnestly, "Uncle Nan, I've come to propose to Zhizhi. Please let me see her." Nan Lingyang, contrary to his usual self, coldly looked at him with his hands behind his back, "No need, you can go back." Zhou Jili was stunned: "Uncle, your company doesn't need investment anymore? I can inject 50 million right now to revive the Nan Group!" Nan Lingyang slightly turned his head to look at the third floor, a smug smile on his lips: "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhou, but my son-in-law already transferred 200 million. You should save this 50 million for marrying a female celebrity later." On the third floor of the villa, the curtains fluttered, and Shang Chenyu kissed Nan Zhi, who complained pitifully, "My darling, when will you give me a formal status?" #WealthyFamily #President #Modern #Romance #DomineeringCEO #SpoilingWife #SweetPampering #WealthyFamily
