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

Su Wanwan sat in the luxurious living room of the Huo family, tapping her fingers on the coffee table. Since she came back from the hospital, she has been in a state of tension and anxiety. Huo Yanshen was still dealing with the crisis at the company, but she could only wait at home, which made her extremely anxious.

At this moment, the housekeeper came in respectfully: "Madam, a Miss Lu is here to visit."

Su Wanwan frowned slightly, but still nodded and said, "Please ask her to come in."

After a while, Lu Wei walked into the living room gracefully. She was wearing a well-cut white suit today, which set off her tall figure and elegant temperament.

"Wanwan, I didn't expect you to be discharged from the hospital so soon. Are you feeling okay?" Lu Wei had a concerned smile on her face, but there was an elusive light flashing in her eyes.

Su Wanwan forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your concern. I'm much better now. Miss Lu came to visit unexpectedly. What's the matter?"

Lu Wei sat down gracefully and crossed her long legs. "I'm here to tell you something. I think you may not know much about the current crisis of the Huo Group."

Su Wanwan looked at Lu Wei warily: "Oh? What's the matter?"

Lu Wei took a sip of the black tea that the housekeeper had just brought over, and then said, "Did you know that the Huo Group recently acquired a new energy company?"

Su Wanwan nodded: "I've heard of some."

"But what you may not know is," Lu Wei's voice suddenly lowered, "there are some shady deals behind this company. If the acquisition is successful, the Huo Group is likely to be in huge trouble."

Su Wanwan's heartbeat suddenly quickened: "What do you mean?"

Lu Wei gave Su Wanwan a meaningful look: "What I mean is, maybe you should persuade Yan Shen to give up this acquisition. For the Huo family, for your future."

Su Wanwan was silent for a moment, then looked directly into Lu Wei's eyes: "Ms. Lu, why are you telling me this?"

Lu Wei put down the teacup gracefully, with a half-smile on her face: "Because I care about Yan Shen and the Huo family. Although there are some... misunderstandings between us, I hope you can believe that my starting point is good."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly rang. She took a look and saw that it was Huo Yanshen calling.

"Sorry, I have to take a call." Su Wanwan said, standing up and walking aside.

"Wanwan, are you okay?" Huo Yanshen's concerned voice came.

"I'm fine," Su Wanwan said softly, "How's the company doing?"

Huo Yanshen sighed: "The situation is not optimistic. The stock price is still falling. We may need to take some extraordinary measures."

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then said: "Yan Shen, regarding the acquisition of that new energy company... have you ever considered giving up?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Huo Yanshen's voice became serious: "Wanwan, who told you this?"

Su Wanwan glanced at Lu Wei who was still sitting on the sofa: "I...I'm just a little worried."

"Listen, Wanwan," Huo Yanshen's voice became firm, "No matter what you hear, please believe me. This acquisition is vital to the Huo Group. We can't give up."

Su Wanwan bit her lip and said, "I understand. Take care of yourself and don't get too tired."

After hanging up the phone, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and turned to face Lu Wei.

Lu Wei had a knowing smile on her face: "It seems that Yan Shen still refuses to give up."

Su Wanwan said calmly: "Ms. Lu, I appreciate your kindness. But I believe Yan Shen has his own judgment on the matter of the Huo Group."

Lu Wei stood up and adjusted her clothes elegantly: "I understand. But Wanwan, you have to remember that in the business world, sometimes the people closest to you are the easiest to be deceived. I hope you don't regret your decision today."

After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. At this moment, Su Wanwan suddenly said, "Ms. Lu, I have a question for you."

Lu Wei stopped and turned around: "What's the problem?"

Su Wanwan looked directly into Lu Wei's eyes: "Do you know something? The truth about this crisis."

Lu Wei's eyes flashed with surprise, but she quickly regained her composure: "Wan Wan, it's not a good thing to know too much about some things. But..." She paused, "If you really want to know, maybe we can talk in private."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the door: "No need, just say whatever you want to say here."

They both turned around at the same time and saw Huo Yanshen standing at the door with a gloomy face.

The expression on Lu Wei's face suddenly became complicated: "Yan Shen, why are you back?"

Huo Yanshen strode into the living room: "I came to see my wife. But you, Lu Wei, why are you here?"

Lu Wei forced a smile: "I just came to see Wanwan and chat with her."

Huo Yanshen said coldly: "Really? Then what is the 'truth' you just mentioned?"

Lu Wei's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure: "Yan Shen, you misunderstood. I was just reminding Wan Wan to be careful in the business world."

Huo Yanshen walked up to Su Wanwan and put his arm around her shoulders: "Thank you for your kindness, but my wife doesn't need anyone to teach her. If there's nothing else, you can leave."

Lu Wei looked at Huo Yanshen, then at Su Wanwan, and finally sighed: "Okay, I understand. I hope you won't regret your decision today." After that, she turned and left.

After Lu Wei left, Huo Yanshen immediately turned to Su Wanwan: "Wanwan, what did she say to you?"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then repeated what Lu Wei had said earlier.

Huo Yanshen frowned: "It seems that she knows more than we thought. Wanwan, from now on, you have to be careful of Lu Wei. She may not be as simple as she seems."

Su Wanwan nodded: "I understand. Yan Shen, is there really no problem with the company?"

Huo Yanshen showed a tired look on his face: "The situation is indeed not optimistic, but we still have a chance. Wanwan, I need your support and trust."

Su Wanwan held Huo Yanshen's hand tightly: "I will always stand by you, Yanshen. No matter what happens."

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan deeply, then hugged her in his arms: "Thank you, Wanwan. With you by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

At this warm moment, Huo Yanshen's phone suddenly rang. He glanced at the caller ID and his face immediately became serious.

"Hello, Vice President Lin. What?! Okay, I'll go back to the company right away."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Yanshen said hurriedly: "Wanwan, something happened in the company, I have to rush back immediately. You have a good rest at home, and call me if you have any problems."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Be careful."

Watching Huo Yanshen's hurriedly leaving back, Su Wanwan was filled with worry. She knew that this storm was far from over, but had just begun.

At this moment, her phone suddenly received a text message from an unknown number: "If you want to know the truth, see you at the old place at 8 o'clock tonight."

Su Wanwan stared at the text message, her heart beating faster. She knew that she would face a major decision. Should she trust Huo Yanshen and stay home? Or should she take the risk and go to this mysterious date?

At this time, she didn't know how this decision would affect her and Huo Yanshen's future, as well as the fate of the entire Huo Group.
