Tonight's dinner is of vital importance to the Huo family, and she can't make any mistakes.

“Take a deep breath,” she said to herself in the mirror. “You can do this.”

The mysterious phone call from last night was still lingering in her mind. The man's request was not complicated - to find an opportunity to get close to Mr. Huo's study at the dinner party and take a photo of his safe. It was simple, but full of risks.

"Wanwan, are you ready?" Huo Yanshen's voice came from outside the door.

Su Wanwan adjusted her expression, opened the door and said, "Okay, let's go."

Huo Yanshen looked her up and down and nodded with satisfaction: "You are so beautiful today."

Su Wanwan forced a smile: "I hope I won't embarrass you."

Huo Yanshen held her hand and said, "Don't worry, you have made a lot of progress."

When they arrived at the hall, the guests had already arrived. Su Wanwan took a deep breath, straightened her back, and began to greet the guests with Huo Yanshen.

"This is Chairman Wang," Huo Yanshen introduced, "Chairman Wang, this is my wife."

Su Wanwan bowed gracefully: "Hello, Mr. Wang, I have heard of you for a long time."

Chairman Wang said with a smile: "Mrs. Huo is indeed very elegant. I heard that you have made great achievements in the business world?"

Su Wanwan responded modestly: "No, I'm still learning."

At this moment, she noticed that Mr. Huo was talking happily with a strange man, who glanced at her meaningfully from time to time.

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

Huo Yanshen followed her gaze and said, "Oh, that's Cheng Yuan. He is a businessman who has been very active in the energy sector recently."

Su Wanwan's heart moved, and she thought of the mysterious phone call. Could it be...

"Madam," a waiter suddenly appeared beside her, "the master wants you to go to the study."

Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then realized that this might be an opportunity. She said to Huo Yanshen, "I'll be back soon."

Arriving at the door of the study, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and gently pushed the door open.

Mr. Huo was standing in front of the window with his back to her: "Come in, Wanwan."

Su Wanwan walked in cautiously: "Grandpa, are you looking for me?"

Mr. Huo turned around, his eyes sharp: "I heard that you have been working hard to learn etiquette recently?"

Su Wanwan nodded: "Yes, I hope to adapt to the life of the Huo family as soon as possible."

Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction: "Very good. However, you must remember that etiquette is only superficial. What really matters is the inner qualities."

Su Wanwan looked at him in confusion.

Mr. Huo continued, "I know you are very talented in the business world. But in the Huo family, you are Yan Shen's wife first, and a businessman second. Do you understand?"

Su Wanwan lowered her head: "I understand, old man."

Just then, she noticed a small safe on the desk. This was a perfect opportunity...

"Go ahead," Mr. Huo said suddenly, "Don't keep the guests waiting too long."

Su Wanwan came to her senses and hurriedly left. When she walked out of the study, her heart was beating like a drum. Should she do what the mysterious man asked?

Back in the banquet hall, the dinner had already begun. Su Wanwan sat down gracefully according to the etiquette teacher's instructions.

"Madam," Cheng Yuan, who was sitting opposite, suddenly said, "I heard that your father was also a leader in the business world?"

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, but she tried to remain calm: "Yes, it's a pity that he left too early."

Cheng Yuan said meaningfully: "I'm afraid your father's matter is not that simple, right?"

Just when Su Wanwan didn't know how to respond, a scream interrupted their conversation.

“Oh my god! My necklace is gone!”

Everyone's eyes were focused on the lady who screamed. It was the mayor's wife, who was now stroking her neck in panic.

Mr. Huo immediately stood up and said, "Don't panic, we will find it."

For a moment, the banquet hall fell into chaos. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Su Wanwan quietly slipped out of the hall. She walked quickly towards Mr. Huo's study, her heart almost jumping out of her chest.

Just as she was about to push open the study door, a hand suddenly rested on her shoulder.

"Wan Wan, what are you doing here?"

Su Wanwan turned around suddenly and found Huo Yanshen looking at her with a puzzled look.

"I..." Su Wanwan was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to explain.

At this moment, the housekeeper came running over: "Master, Madam, something bad has happened! The police are here!"

Huo Yan frowned: "What's going on?"

The housekeeper gasped, "Someone call the police and say the missing necklace is in the lady's bag!"

Su Wanwan felt dizzy, she looked at Huo Yanshen in disbelief: "I didn't steal! Do you believe me?"

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said firmly: "I believe you. Let's go and take a look together."

Back in the banquet hall, two policemen were checking Su Wanwan's handbag. In full view of everyone, they took out the stolen necklace from the bag.

"This is impossible!" Su Wanwan screamed, "Someone must have framed me!"

The mayor's wife sneered: "The evidence is irrefutable, what else do you have to say?"

Mr. Huo's face was terribly gloomy: "Yan Shen, take Wan Wan away. Leave this to me."

Back in the room, Su Wanwan finally broke down: "Yan Shen, I really didn't steal! You have to believe me!"

Huo Yanshen hugged her tightly: "I know, I believe you. But, Wanwan, you have to tell me the truth. Why did you go to grandpa's study?"

Su Wanwan was stunned. Just as she was hesitating whether to tell Huo Yanshen about the mysterious phone call, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Mr. Huo walked in with a gloomy face: "Wanwan, you'd better explain it clearly. Not only about the necklace, but also about all your actions tonight."

Su Wanwan looked at Mr. Huo and Huo Yanshen, and suddenly realized that she might have fallen into a carefully designed trap. But what frightened her even more was what kind of secret was hidden behind this trap?

She took a deep breath and made up her mind to tell the truth. However, the moment she opened her mouth, she suddenly had a severe headache. In the last moment before she lost consciousness, she saw Cheng Yuan standing at the door with a strange smile on his face.

Then, everything fell into darkness.
