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

The melody of the wedding march echoed in the air of the Huo family's luxurious manor. Su Wanwan took Huo Yanshen's arm and walked slowly towards the red carpet covered with rose petals. The guests on both sides stood up and looked at the newlyweds with admiration.

Su Wanwan wore a pure white custom-made wedding dress, with delicate lace dotted on the hem, gleaming softly in the sun. The phoenix hairpin given by Mrs. Huo was elegantly pinned on her bun, complementing the diamond earrings given by Huo Yanshen, highlighting her noble and elegant temperament.

Huo Yanshen was wearing a well-tailored black suit. He was handsome and tall, with tenderness in his eyes. He would lower his head from time to time and gently comfort the slightly nervous Su Wanwan.

"Don't be nervous," Huo Yanshen whispered in Su Wanwan's ear, "You are the most beautiful bride today."

Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart, but then she thought of those unsolved mysteries and felt a little uneasy. She subconsciously touched her earrings and recalled the mysterious number that Huo Yanshen had mentioned earlier.

At this moment, a commotion interrupted Su Wanwan's thoughts. She looked up and found that the arrival of several political dignitaries and business tycoons attracted the attention of the guests.

Mr. Huo came forward to greet them personally, with a proper smile on his face. But Su Wanwan keenly noticed that when he shook hands with one of the white-haired old men, Mr. Huo's expression was a little solemn.

"Who is that?" Su Wanwan asked in a low voice.

Huo Yanshen followed her gaze and answered softly, "That's Mr. Chen from the State Council. He rarely attends private events. I'm afraid he came here today not just to congratulate us."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, and she vaguely felt that there seemed to be more hidden games behind this wedding that she didn't know about.

The wedding ceremony was solemn and warm. When the pastor announced that they were officially married, the scene broke out in warm applause. Huo Yan looked at Su Wanwan affectionately, gently held her face, and placed a gentle kiss on her lips.

At this moment, Su Wanwan seemed to have forgotten all her worries and doubts, and was completely immersed in the atmosphere of happiness.

However, this brief tranquility was soon broken. When the newlyweds walked down the steps and prepared to receive the guests' blessings, a sharp voice suddenly rang out:

"Huo Yanshen, do you really want to marry this woman? She may not be worthy at all!"

There was an uproar at the scene, and everyone's eyes turned to the source of the voice. Su Wanwan was surprised to see that the person who spoke was Huo Yanshen's childhood sweetheart, Lu Wei.

Lu Wei, wearing a gorgeous red dress and with a mocking smile on her face, strode towards the newlyweds.

"Lu Wei, what are you doing?" Huo Yanshen's voice was low and dangerous, with a hint of anger in his eyes.

Lu Wei smiled disapprovingly, "I'm just stating the facts that everyone wants to know." She turned to the guests around her and raised her voice, "Do you know? This so-called Mrs. Huo, her father committed suicide because of debt. Who knows if she married Yan Shen for money?"

Su Wanwan turned pale and felt dizzy. She didn't expect that the past that she was most reluctant to mention would be made public in such an occasion.

At this moment, a gentle but majestic voice sounded: "Ms. Lu, I think you may have misunderstood something."

Everyone turned around and saw Mr. Huo walking slowly towards them. His expression was serious and his eyes were sharp.

"Miss Su Wanwan's father did encounter some misfortunes, but this does not negate her personal value." Mr. Huo said, "On the contrary, the strength and wisdom she showed in adversity are exactly the qualities that our Huo family values."

Mr. Huo's words brought silence to the scene. Lu Wei's smug smile froze, obviously not expecting such a turn of events.

Huo Yanshen took the opportunity to step forward, put his arm around Su Wanwan's shoulders, and said to the guests: "Everyone, my marriage with Wanwan is based on mutual understanding and deep feelings. I hope everyone can bless us instead of listening to some unfounded speculation."

There was a burst of friendly applause, and most of the guests showed understanding and approval on their faces.

However, Su Wanwan noticed that several people's reactions were a little unusual. Mr. Chen from the State Council frowned and seemed to be lost in thought. A middle-aged man standing in the corner looked at her and Huo Yanshen with a meaningful look.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly vibrated. He took out his phone and took a look, his face suddenly became solemn.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanwan asked in a low voice.

Huo Yanshen held her hand tightly and said in a low voice, "Something happened in the company. I may need to leave for a while."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, "Is it related to the 'Dark Phoenix'?"

Huo Yanshen nodded slightly, "It's very likely. But don't worry, I'll be back soon." He turned to the guests around him and raised his voice and said, "Everyone, please forgive me for being away for a while. I will continue to entertain you all tonight, and I hope you all have fun."

After saying that, he kissed Su Wanwan lightly on the forehead and then quickly left the banquet hall.

Su Wanwan looked at Huo Yanshen's back, feeling uneasy. She knew that behind this seemingly perfect wedding, there were too many unknown dangers.

At this moment, Mrs. Huo walked up to Su Wanwan and said softly, "Don't worry, child. Come, come with me to entertain the guests."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and forced herself to smile. She knew that from now on, she was the mistress of the Huo family. No matter what happened, she had to remain calm.

However, as she followed Mrs. Huo among the guests, Su Wanwan's mind drifted far away. She couldn't help but imagine what kind of crisis Huo Yanshen was facing at the moment, and how she could protect herself and her loved ones in this unknown storm.

The wedding was still going on, the champagne tower was shining under the lights, and the guests were laughing. But to Su Wanwan, all this had become so far away.
