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

Su Wanwan stumbled out of the Huo Group building, tears blurring her vision. She felt dizzy and had to hold on to the wall to keep herself steady. Zhang Jiaying saw her like this and quickly ran over to hold her up.

"Wanwan, what happened?" Zhang Jiaying asked worriedly.

Before Su Wanwan could answer, she heard hurried footsteps behind her. She turned around and saw that it was Huo Yanshen who had chased after her.

"Wanwan, wait!" Huo Yanshen shouted, his voice full of anxiety and pain.

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen and felt a pang of heartache. How she wished she could believe him, how she wished everything was just a misunderstanding. But the truth was so cruel.

"Go away, Huo Yanshen," Su Wanwan said coldly, "We have nothing more to say."

Huo Yanshen took a step forward and wanted to grab Su Wanwan's hand, but she dodged him.

"Wanwan, please listen to my explanation," Huo Yanshen pleaded, "Things are not what you think."

Su Wanwan suddenly turned to face Huo Yanshen, her eyes full of anger and disappointment: "What's that? Tell me, Huo Yanshen. What is the connection between my father's death and the Phoenix Project? What role did your Huo family play in it?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath, looked around, and whispered, "This is not the place to talk. Let's find a safe place to talk, okay?"

“No,” Su Wanwan said firmly, “Right here, right now, I want to know the whole truth.”

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan's stubborn expression, knowing that she would not change her mind easily. He sighed and began to explain: "The 'Phoenix Project' was originally a business project jointly initiated by your father and my father. Its purpose was to integrate the resources of the two companies to create a brand new business empire."

Su Wanwan frowned: "Why did it become like this? Why is it involved in so many dark things?"

Huo Yanshen's expression turned painful: "Because someone wanted to use this plan for personal gain. They secretly manipulated and turned the 'Phoenix Project' into a huge conspiracy. Your father discovered this and wanted to stop it, but..."

"But they killed him," Su Wanwan took over, her voice trembling.

Huo Yanshen nodded: "I'm sorry, Wanwan. I've always wanted to tell you the truth, but I'm afraid you can't bear it."

Su Wanwan felt heartbroken and angry: "You have no right to make decisions for me, Huo Yanshen. I have the right to know all the truth, no matter how cruel it is."

"I know," Huo Yanshen whispered, "I was wrong. I just... I just wanted to protect you."

Su Wanwan sneered: "Protect me? By hiding the truth from me and making me live in lies?"

"It's not like that, Wanwan," Huo Yanshen said anxiously, "I love you, I just don't want to see you get hurt."

“If you really loved me, you should trust me,” Su Wanwan said, her voice full of disappointment. “You should let me face this with you instead of pushing me away.”

Huo Yanshen was silent. He knew Su Wanwan was right. He looked into her eyes, which were full of pain and disappointment.

"What now?" Su Wanwan asked, "What are you going to do?"

Huo Yan took a deep breath and said, "I will continue to investigate the Phoenix Project and find out who is behind it. But Wanwan, I hope you can leave and find a safe place. I will come to find you when everything is over."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, Huo Yanshen. I will not run away. This is my battle, too. My father paid with his life for this, I can't just give up like this."

"But it's too dangerous," Huo Yanshen said anxiously, "Think about the child in your belly."

When talking about the child, Su Wanwan subconsciously protected her belly. She hesitated for a moment, but soon made up her mind: "It is precisely because of this child that I can't escape. I want to create a world for him without conspiracy and lies."

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan's determined eyes and knew that he could not change her decision. He sighed: "Then at least let me protect you. We will face this together."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, Huo Yanshen. We need time. Your behavior of hiding the truth has shaken my trust in you. I need some time to think, to get to know you and myself again."

Huo Yanshen felt a pang of heartache: "Wanwan, please don't be like this. We should face difficulties together."

“Maybe one day we’ll fight side by side again,” Su Wanwan said, with a soft look in her eyes, “but not now. Now, I need to face it all alone.”

Huo Yanshen wanted to say something else, but Su Wanwan had already turned and walked towards Zhang Jiaying's car.

"Wanwan!" Huo Yanshen shouted, his voice filled with pain and reluctance.

Su Wanwan stopped but didn’t look back: “Goodbye, Huo Yanshen. I hope we can both find our own answers when we meet next time.”

After saying that, she got in the car. Zhang Jiaying looked at Su Wanwan, then looked at Huo Yanshen who was standing there, sighed, and started the car.

The car slowly drove away, and Su Wanwan looked through the rearview mirror at Huo Yanshen's gradually shrinking figure. She felt her heart filled with complex emotions - love, disappointment, anger, reluctance, all of which were entangled together, making her feel extremely exhausted.

"Are you okay?" Zhang Jiaying asked with concern.

Su Wanwan shook her head, tears silently flowing down: "I don't know, Jiaying. I really don't know."

Zhang Jiaying reached out and held Su Wanwan's hand: "No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Su Wanwan looked at Zhang Jiaying gratefully, then looked out the window. The morning light gradually illuminated the outline of the city, and a new day began.

She knew that from today on, her life would move in a completely new direction. She would face all the difficulties and challenges alone, seek justice for her father, and strive for a bright future for herself and her children.

This road is destined to be difficult, but she has no choice.

Because now, she is not only fighting for herself, but also for the little life that has not yet been born.

And this is her most powerful motivation.

Su Wanwan stroked her belly and swore silently in her heart: no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, she will face them bravely, because she knows that only the truth can bring true freedom and happiness.

The car drove away, carrying Su Wanwan towards an unknown future. Behind her, Huo Yanshen still stood there, looking at the direction she left, his eyes full of pain and determination.

He knew that he still had a long way to go to win back Su Wanwan's trust, but he would try hard for their love and their future.
