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

In the cafe, Su Wanwan looked straight into Cheng Yuan's eyes, but her heart was in turmoil. She knew that the next conversation might completely change the trajectory of her life.

Cheng Yuan took a sip of coffee and said slowly: "Ms. Su, do you know why Huo Yanshen married you?"

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface: "Because we love each other."

Cheng Yuan chuckled: "Love? In wealthy families, love is often the least valuable thing."

He took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and pushed them in front of Su Wanwan: "Take a look, these are the records of communication between Huo Yanshen and Lu Wei. Phone calls, text messages, private meetings..."

Su Wanwan flipped through the documents, and every page was like a sharp blade, stabbing her heart fiercely. In the photo, Huo Yanshen and Lu Wei were talking and laughing, and they were very close.

"This...this is impossible..." Su Wanwan murmured to herself, with a slight tremor in her voice.

Cheng Yuan continued, "Huo Yanshen married you just to hide his true identity. His relationship with Lu Wei has never been interrupted. You, Su Wanwan, are just a pawn of theirs."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy, she clenched her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms. She recalled the scene she saw last night, and the intimate behavior of Huo Yanshen and Lu Wei kept replaying in her mind.

"Why..." Su Wanwan said with difficulty, "Why are you telling me this?"

Cheng Yuan leaned back in his chair, an elusive look flashing in his eyes: "Because I admire you, Su Wanwan. You are talented and capable, and you shouldn't be used like this."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She remembered Li Yuhua's teachings - to remain elegant and rational in any situation.

“Mr. Cheng,” she said calmly, “the evidence is indeed shocking. But I trust my husband. If there is any misunderstanding, we will communicate face to face.”

Cheng Yuan seemed a little surprised by Su Wanwan's reaction. He narrowed his eyes slightly: "Miss Su, don't you feel angry? Being deceived, being used..."

Su Wanwan stood up and smiled politely: "Mr. Cheng, thank you for your kindness. But let's solve the marriage issue ourselves."

Just as Su Wanwan was about to leave, Cheng Yuan suddenly said, "Wait, there's one more thing you might be interested in."

Su Wanwan stopped and looked back at Cheng Yuan.

Cheng Yuan lowered his voice and said, "Your father's death is related to the Huo family."

This sentence hit Su Wanwan like a heavy hammer. She felt her legs go weak and had to hold on to the table to keep herself standing.

"You...what did you say?" Su Wanwan spoke with difficulty.

Cheng Yuan gave a meaningful smile: "Want to know the truth? Then do me a favor."

Su Wanwan looked at him warily: "What help?"

"It's very simple," Cheng Yuan took out a USB flash drive from his pocket, "Copy the files in this USB flash drive to Huo Yanshen's computer."

Su Wanwan frowned: "What's inside?"

Cheng Yuan smiled mysteriously: "You don't need to know. Just complete this task and I will tell you everything about your father."

Su Wanwan was caught in a dilemma. On the one hand, she had doubts about the relationship between Huo Yanshen and Lu Wei; on the other hand, she didn't want to believe that her husband would cheat on her. And the truth about her father's death had always been a knot in her heart.

"I...I need to think about it." Su Wanwan said finally.

Cheng Yuan nodded: "I'll give you 24 hours to think about it. Remember, this may be your only chance to know the truth."

After leaving the cafe, Su Wanwan felt unprecedented confusion and pain. She walked aimlessly on the street, replaying Cheng Yuan's words and those photos in her mind.

Unconsciously, she came to a park. Sitting on a bench by the lake, Su Wanwan finally couldn't hold back her tears.

At this moment, a gentle voice came: "Miss Su, are you okay?"

Su Wanwan looked up and saw a strange middle-aged woman standing in front of her with a concerned expression on her face.

"I...I'm fine." Su Wanwan wiped away her tears and forced a smile.

The woman sat down next to her. "Sometimes, talking to a stranger can make you feel better. Want to try it?"

Su Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then briefly told her troubles, of course leaving out specific names and details.

After listening, the woman pondered for a moment, then said: "Miss Su, before making a decision, have you ever thought about why that person suddenly gave you this information? What is his purpose?"

This question was like a flash of lightning, illuminating Su Wanwan's chaotic thoughts. Yes, why did Cheng Yuan do this? What was his real purpose?

The woman continued, "In a wealthy family, everyone has their own calculations. Sometimes, they may seem to be helping you, but in fact they may be taking advantage of you."

Su Wanwan nodded thoughtfully: "You are right. I almost let my emotions blind me to my reason."

The woman smiled and patted Su Wanwan's hand: "Remember, no matter what situation you encounter, you must stay calm and rational. This is the key to survival in a wealthy family."

Hearing this, Su Wanwan suddenly felt that this strange woman looked familiar. But before she could think carefully, the woman had already stood up and said goodbye.

"Wait," Su Wanwan stopped her, "I don't know your name yet..."

The woman turned around and gave a mysterious smile: "The name is not important. What is important is that you remember the lesson today. In wealthy families, the truth is often hidden in a thick fog. You must learn to see with your own eyes and think with your own brain."

Watching the woman's back as she walked away, Su Wanwan felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity. But at this moment, she no longer had time to delve into the identity of this mysterious woman.

When Su Wanwan returned home, she found Huo Yanshen working in the study. Seeing her come back, Huo Yanshen showed a tired but gentle smile: "You're back? How are things going at the company?"

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, but she soon calmed down: "Fortunately, everything went well."

She walked over to Huo Yanshen and gently massaged his shoulders: "You look tired, do you want to take a rest?"

Huo Yanshen held her hand and kissed it gently: "With you by my side, I don't feel tired anymore."

This gentle gesture made Su Wanwan's heart churn. She thought of the photos Cheng Yuan showed her and the words of the mysterious woman.

"Yan Shen," she hesitated for a moment, then asked, "Have you been worried about anything recently?"

Huo Yanshen was slightly startled, then smiled and said, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

Su Wanwan took a deep breath: "Nothing, I just feel that you are a little different recently. If there is anything, you can tell me. We are husband and wife, we should trust each other, right?"

Huo Yanshen's eyes flickered for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Wanwan, don't worry, if there is anything important, I will definitely tell you."

Looking into Huo Yanshen's eyes, Su Wanwan suddenly made a decision. She smiled and said, "Okay, I believe you."

That night, after Huo Yanshen fell asleep, Su Wanwan quietly got up and went to the study. She looked at Huo Yanshen's computer, holding the USB drive that Cheng Yuan gave her tightly in her hand.

Just as she was about to insert the USB drive, Su Wanwan suddenly stopped. She remembered the words of the mysterious woman and her intuition as a business woman.

“No,” she murmured, “I can’t do this.”

Su Wanwan put away the USB drive and decided to go to Lu Wei in person the next day to ask for clarification. She believed that only by facing the problem directly could all the mysteries be solved.

Just as she was about to leave the study, an envelope slipped from the pile of documents on the desk. Su Wanwan bent down to pick it up, but accidentally saw the words on the envelope:

"Investigation report on the truth of the Su family's bankruptcy"

Su Wanwan's hands began to tremble involuntarily.
