The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich

The top floor banquet hall of the most prestigious Shangri-La Hotel in City A was filled with beautiful women and beautiful women. Tonight, many celebrities from the business and political circles gathered here to celebrate the 25th birthday of Su Wanwan, the daughter of the chairman of the Su Group.

"Wanwan, happy birthday!"

"Miss Su, I wish you happiness and peace every year!"

"Wanwan, 25 is the best age for a woman. I wish you a bright future!"

Su Wanwan stood in the center of the banquet hall, smiling gracefully and responding to the guests' blessings one by one. She was wearing a champagne-colored fishtail dress, and her skirt swayed gently like waves as she walked. Her exquisite makeup set off her jade-like skin, her pair of autumn-water eyes were bright and shining, and her every move showed the temperament of a lady from a noble family.

"Thank you all for your blessings." Su Wanwan raised the champagne in her hand and took a sip. "Wanwan feels deeply honored to receive your love. In the future, I will work harder and live up to your expectations."

As soon as he finished speaking, warm applause broke out in the banquet hall.

Standing not far away, Su Yuntian, Su's father, looked at his daughter's radiant appearance with a look of satisfaction and pride in his eyes. He raised his glass and gently clinked it with his old friend beside him.

"Old Su, your daughter is so enviable!" A slightly plump middle-aged man said with a smile, "Not only is she beautiful, but she is also very capable. I heard that she just graduated from Harvard Business School and helped Su's company win several big projects?"

Su Yuntian smiled and nodded, with a hint of pride in his eyes, "Yes, Wanwan has been smart since she was young. This time she returned from studying abroad and injected a lot of fresh blood into the company. Lao Li, if you have a suitable project, you can get in touch with Wanwan more."

The man called Lao Li laughed, "That's great! I'll ask Xiao Zhou from our company to contact Miss Su someday."

Just as the two were talking happily, a young man in a suit and leather shoes quickly walked up to Su Yuntian and whispered something in his ear. Su Yuntian's face suddenly became solemn, he smiled apologetically at Lao Li, and then quickly left the banquet hall.

At the same time, at the other end of the banquet hall, Su Wanwan was surrounded by a group of socialites.

"Wanwan, your dress today is so beautiful! What brand is it from?"

"Yeah, Wanwan, the jewelry you're wearing is too shiny, isn't it? It must be worth tens of millions, right?"

Facing the praise and envy of everyone, Su Wanwan smiled and said, "The dress is a custom-made Vera Wang, and the jewelry is the latest series of Cartier. However, no matter how expensive the clothes and jewelry are, they are not as precious as our friendship."

This tactful answer drew a round of praise. Standing at the edge of the crowd, Zhang Jiaying, Su Wanwan's best friend and a reporter for the Financial Daily, couldn't help but roll her eyes. She pulled Su Wanwan over and whispered, "Come on, stop being so pretentious. Don't forget, we've made an appointment to go to the bar to celebrate later!"

Su Wanwan blinked mischievously, "Don't worry, how could I forget? Besides, if I broke the appointment, a certain big reporter would probably threaten me with a front-page headline, right?"

As the two were chatting, Su Wanwan's eyes were suddenly attracted by a figure at the entrance of the banquet hall. A tall and handsome man walked in slowly. He was wearing a well-tailored black suit, and his every move exuded an aura of majesty without anger.

"That's... Huo Yanshen from the Huo Group?" Zhang Jiaying followed Su Wanwan's gaze and said in surprise, "Why is he here?"

Su Wanwan frowned slightly, "I don't know either. Dad never said he invited anyone from the Huo family."

Just when Su Wanwan was confused, Huo Yanshen had already walked in front of her. His eyes stayed on Su Wanwan's delicate face for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Ms. Su, happy birthday."

Su Wanwan suppressed the strangeness in her heart and responded politely: "Thank you, Mr. Huo. I just didn't know that Mr. Huo would come. I hope you can forgive me for not welcoming you."

Huo Yanshen raised his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, "Miss Su, you are too polite. Your father specially invited me, so I naturally cannot be rude." As he said that, he took out a delicate little box from the inner pocket of his suit, "It's just a little gift, please accept it."

Su Wanwan took the box and felt it was heavy. She was about to refuse, but she saw Huo Yanshen had already turned around and left, blending into the bustling guests.

Zhang Jiaying couldn't help but come over and said, "Open it and take a look! It must be something special since it's a gift personally sent by President Huo!"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still opened the box. Suddenly, a faint blue light shone brightly in the dim light. It was a blue diamond ring, the diamond was perfectly cut, reflecting a dreamy light under the light.

"Oh my god!" Zhang Jiaying gasped, "This is a priceless blue diamond! Wanwan, when did the Su and Huo families become so close?"

Su Wanwan stared at the ring, frowning slightly. She always felt that Huo Yanshen had other intentions in giving her this gift. But she couldn't figure out what the intention was.

At this moment, the lights in the banquet hall suddenly dimmed. A huge birthday cake was slowly pushed in by the waiter. There were 25 flickering candles on the cake, which was particularly eye-catching in the dim light.

"Wanwan, make a wish quickly!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

Su Wanwan stood in front of the cake, looking at the flickering candlelight, and suddenly felt as if she was in another world. At the age of 25, she was no longer the carefree little girl. The burden on her shoulders was getting heavier and heavier.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and silently made a wish in her heart: I hope my family is safe, my company is thriving, and I can live up to everyone's expectations...

"call--"

With a slight sound, 25 candles went out, and warm applause and cheers broke out in the banquet hall.

"Wanwan, happy birthday!"

"Miss Su, you have a bright future!"

Amidst the blessings, Su Wanwan opened her eyes with a happy smile on her face. However, at this moment, she suddenly noticed her father standing not far away. Su Yuntian's face was extremely solemn, and he was whispering something with several middle-aged men in suits.

Su Wanwan suddenly felt uneasy. She subconsciously clenched the blue diamond ring in her hand, and her knuckles turned slightly white due to the force.
