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

Su Wanwan and Lu Wei re-entered the banquet hall, and the air seemed to still be filled with the aftermath of the embarrassing incident. She could feel some probing eyes falling on her, with sympathy, ridicule, and some indescribable emotions.

But at this moment, Su Wanwan was no longer the flustered newcomer. She took a deep breath, straightened her back, and put on a decent smile on her face, as if the accident had never happened.

"Thank you, Miss Lu," Su Wanwan said softly, "I will always remember your help."

Lu Wei nodded gracefully: "You're welcome, we are all family." Her gaze stayed on Su Wanwan's face for a second, then she turned and left.

Su Wanwan looked at Lu Wei's back, alert in her heart. The content of the mysterious text message echoed in her mind: Don't trust anyone.

At this moment, Huo Yanshen came over and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Do you need to go back and change clothes?"

Su Wanwan shook her head and gave a firm smile: "No, I'm fine. Yan Shen, let's continue."

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to adjust so quickly. He nodded and took Su Wanwan's hand: "Okay, I'll take you to meet some important people."

In the following time, Su Wanwan followed Huo Yanshen to deal with various business leaders. She tried hard to remember everyone's name and background, while also reviewing the business knowledge she had learned before.

"This is Mr. Cheng," Huo Yanshen introduced, "a leader in the new energy field."

Su Wanwan smiled and extended her hand: "Hello, Mr. Cheng, I have heard of you for a long time. I am currently researching the field of new energy and I admire your company's technological innovation very much."

Mr. Cheng raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Mrs. Su is also researching new energy?"

Su Wanwan said modestly: "I only know a little bit. But I think that with the current increasingly severe environmental problems, the development of new energy is crucial. In particular, your company's breakthrough in improving the efficiency of solar cells is really exciting."

Mr. Cheng's eyes lit up: "Mrs. Su is indeed very knowledgeable. We have made some new progress in this area recently. I wonder if the Huo Group is interested..."

In this way, what could have been just a small talk turned into a preliminary business negotiation. Although Su Wanwan still had some shortcomings in the specific technical details, her enthusiasm and insight left a deep impression on Mr. Cheng.

After the conversation, Huo Yanshen whispered, "Well done, Wanwan. Mr. Cheng is a very difficult person to deal with, but you actually managed to get him to take the initiative to propose cooperation."

Su Wanwan was secretly happy, but on the surface she remained humble: "I just told the truth. New energy is indeed the trend of the future. If Huo can make achievements in this field, it will be of great help to the long-term development of the company."

Huo Yanshen gave her an approving look and said, "You are right. We can discuss this project in detail after we return."

At this moment, a slightly harsh voice interrupted: "Hey, isn't this Madam Huo? I heard that there was a little accident just now?"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw a heavily made-up woman looking at her with a mocking smile.

Huo Yanshen frowned: "Mrs. Zhou, please be careful with your words."

Mrs. Zhou curled her lips and said, "I am just concerned. After all, there are many new people in our circle, so it is inevitable that they will feel uncomfortable. Mrs. Su, please don't mind it."

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, she knew that the other party was deliberately provoking her. But she was no longer the little girl who was easily angered.

She smiled gracefully. "Mrs. Zhou is right. Newcomers do make mistakes easily. But I heard that even experienced people sometimes make some...small mistakes."

When Su Wanwan mentioned the word "small mistake", her eyes swept meaningfully over Mrs. Zhou's slightly tacky dress.

Mrs. Zhou's face changed, obviously she heard the sarcasm in Su Wanwan's words. She was about to explode, but was stopped by her husband.

"Mrs. Zhou," Huo Yanshen said coldly, "the dinner is not over yet. I hope you can maintain proper etiquette."

Mrs. Zhou walked away angrily, but before leaving she did not forget to glare at Su Wanwan fiercely.

Huo Yanshen looked at Su Wanwan with some worry: "Are you okay? Ignore her, people like her are..."

Su Wanwan shook her head and interrupted her husband: "I'm fine. Yan Shen, it's inevitable to meet such people in such occasions. Let's focus on the business tonight."

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife in surprise and found that her eyes were full of determination and confidence. He nodded: "You are right. Come, I will introduce a few more people to you."

In the following time, Su Wanwan became more and more relaxed. She was no longer limited to simple greetings, but was able to discuss some business topics. Although she was still a bit awkward, her learning ability and insight left a deep impression on many people.

However, just as the dinner was about to end, an accident happened again.

Su Wanwan was talking to an investor when she suddenly felt dizzy. She managed to hold on but accidentally knocked over the wine glass on the table.

"Mrs. Su, are you okay?" the investor asked worriedly.

Su Wanwan forced a smile: "I'm fine, maybe I'm a little tired."

At this moment, Huo Yanshen rushed over and supported his shaky wife: "Wanwan, you look very bad, let's go back."

Su Wanwan wanted to refuse, but a severe abdominal pain forced her to nod in agreement.

When she left, she noticed that Lu Wei was looking at her thoughtfully, with some complex emotions hidden in her eyes.

After returning home, the family doctor came quickly. After examination, the doctor's diagnosis shocked everyone.

"Congratulations, Mrs. Su," the doctor said with a smile, "You are pregnant."

Huo Yanshen hugged Su Wanwan excitedly: "That's great, Wanwan! We are going to have a baby!"

However, Su Wanwan did not feel the joy she had imagined. Countless thoughts flashed through her mind: this child came too suddenly, and she was not ready. Moreover, in this wealthy world full of dangers and conspiracies, what does a child mean?

Just then, her phone vibrated. It was a new text message:

“Your children are your greatest asset, but they can also be your greatest weakness. The choice is yours.”

Su Wanwan's heart trembled. She knew that from this moment on, she was facing not only the challenge of adapting to the life of a wealthy family, but also a major decision concerning her life and future.

She stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, with a complex look in her eyes. How would this unexpected new life change her situation in the wealthy family? How could she protect the child while continuing to pursue the truth that had been hidden for many years?

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and looked out the window at the night. She knew that the real challenge had just begun. But no matter what was waiting for her ahead, she would face it bravely. Because now, she not only had to fight for herself, but also for the new life in her belly.

"Yan Shen," she said softly, "we need to talk."

Huo Yanshen keenly sensed the solemnity in his wife's tone and nodded: "Okay, let's go to the study."

When the door of the study closed, Su Wanwan knew that her life was at a new turning point. And this time, she had to make a choice that could change everything.
