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

Huo's Group successfully resolved the crisis caused by Lu Wei, the company's stock price gradually stabilized, and everything seemed to be back on track. However, Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen both knew that the impact of this storm was far from over.

Weekend, Huo’s old house.

It was rare for Mr. Huo to gather the whole family for dinner. In the huge restaurant, the atmosphere was particularly solemn. Huo Yanshen and Su Wanwan sat together, facing Mr. Huo and other family members.

"Yan Shen, Wan Wan," Mr. Huo put down his chopsticks, his expression serious, "Although this incident has been settled, it has a far-reaching impact on our Huo family."

Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's hand and said in a deep voice: "Father, we have clarified the rumors and the company's operations have returned to normal."

Mr. Huo shook his head: "Do you think it's that simple? In the business world, a rumor can ruin a person's lifelong efforts. What's more, this incident has affected the reputation of the entire Huo Group."

Huo Yanshen's second uncle, who was sitting next to him, suddenly said, "Grandpa, I think it's time to reconsider the company's leadership arrangements."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, she felt the hostility in the air.

Mr. Huo looked at his second uncle: "What do you think?"

The second uncle sneered: "Although Yan Shen is very capable, he is young and inexperienced after all. This incident is a clear proof. I suggest that I take over the daily operations of the company temporarily and make plans after the storm has completely subsided."

Huo Yanshen's face darkened: "Second Uncle, what do you mean? Do you think this is my fault?"

The second uncle glanced at Su Wanwan with disdain: "If it's not your fault, is it the fault of other people in the company? In my opinion, it's because you trust certain people of unknown origin too much that you give others an opportunity to take advantage of you."

Su Wanwan felt the pain of these words, but she forced herself not to speak.

Huo Yanshen was furious: "Uncle, please be careful with your words! Wanwan is my wife and a contributor to the company. Without her, we would have been defeated by the attack of the 'Black Claw'."

"Oh, a hero?" Huo Yanshen's cousin sneered, "If it weren't for her, our Huo family wouldn't have become a laughing stock. Yanshen, you are too naive. You are so obsessed with a woman that you don't even care about the interests of the family."

The atmosphere at the table became increasingly tense. Su Wanwan felt suffocated, and she looked at Mr. Huo, hoping he would say something.

Mr. Huo sighed deeply: "Yan Shen, I know you trust Wan Wan. However, family interests are above all else. This incident has indeed caused us huge losses, and we have to reconsider some issues."

Huo Yanshen clenched his fists: "Father, you mean..."

Mr. Huo said in a deep voice: "Starting tomorrow, Wanwan should not go to the company for the time being. I will arrange for someone to conduct a comprehensive audit of the company and re-evaluate the performance of each senior executive."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, and Su Wanwan felt as if her heart was being squeezed hard.

Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly: "Father, this is not fair! Wanwan has done so much for the company, how can you..."

"That's enough!" Old Master Huo slammed the table and stood up. "Yan Shen, don't forget that you are the heir of the Huo family first, and then Wan Wan's husband. The interests of the family must come first!"

The restaurant fell into a deathly silence. Su Wanwan felt dizzy. She held back her tears and said softly, "I understand, old man. I will temporarily leave the company and cooperate with your investigation."

Huo Yanshen looked at his wife in disbelief: "Wanwan, you..."

Su Wanwan shook her head at him, signaling him to calm down.

Mr. Huo nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, Wanwan, it's great that you can understand. Yanshen, you have to think carefully, the burden of the family will eventually fall on your shoulders. Don't be blinded by love."

The dinner ended in silence. After returning home, Su Wanwan finally couldn't hold back her tears and cried silently.

Huo Yanshen hugged her in his arms with heartache: "Wanwan, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "I don't blame you, Yan Shen. I know your dilemma. We have to find a way to prove my innocence and regain the trust of the family."

Huo Yanshen stroked his wife's hair gently: "Don't worry, I will find out the whole story. No matter what happens, I will always stand by you."

Su Wanwan leaned in her husband's arms, feeling touched and worried. She knew that the next few days would be a tough battle.

The next morning, when Su Wanwan woke up, she found that Huo Yanshen had left. There was a note on the bedside table: "Wanwan, I'm going to the company to deal with some things. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Love you."

Su Wanwan put the note on her chest and took a deep breath. She decided to use this time to think carefully and find a breakthrough.

Just then, the doorbell rang. Su Wanwan opened the door and saw Mrs. Huo standing outside with a gloomy face.

"Aunt, why are you here?" Su Wanwan pretended to be calm.

Mrs. Huo snorted coldly and walked straight into the house: "Why? Can't I come to see my daughter-in-law?"

Su Wanwan quickly closed the door and followed him: "Of course, I'll make you some tea right away."

Mrs. Huo sat on the sofa, her eyes sweeping around the room like a knife: "No need. I came here today to talk to you."

Su Wanwan's heart sank, but she still pretended to be calm and sat opposite Madam Huo.

Mrs. Huo got straight to the point: "Wanwan, you should know how much impact this incident has had on the Huo family."

Su Wanwan lowered her head: "Aunt, I'm sorry. But I was really framed."

"Framed?" Old Madam Huo sneered, "Even if you were framed, it means that your usual behavior gave others an opportunity to take advantage of you. A true daughter-in-law of the Huo family should always be careful about her words and deeds, and not give others any opportunity to slander you."

Su Wanwan felt aggrieved, but she knew now was not the time to make excuses.

Mrs. Huo continued, "I came here today to give you a chance."

Su Wanwan raised her head and looked at Madam Huo in confusion.

Mrs. Huo took out a document from her bag: "This is a divorce agreement. Since you took the initiative to file for a divorce, I can guarantee to give you a generous compensation. In this way, you can leave with dignity, and the Huo family can also restore some reputation."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy and couldn't believe her ears: "Aunt, you...what do you mean?"

Mrs. Huo said coldly: "The meaning is very simple. You leave Huo Yanshen and leave the Huo family. This is good for everyone."

Su Wanwan tried hard to control her emotions: "Aunt, I love Yan Shen, and he loves me too. Our feelings cannot be measured by money."

Madam Huo sneered: "Love? That's something only children believe in. In our circle, interests are eternal. Wanwan, you have to think clearly about what kind of situation you will face if you continue to stay in the Huo family."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and said firmly: "Aunt, I am very grateful for your kindness. However, I will not leave Yan Shen. I will use my own strength to prove that I am worthy of the identity of the Huo family."

Mrs. Huo's face darkened instantly: "Well, since you are stubborn, don't blame me for being rude. From today on, you will see how the Huo family treats an outsider who doesn't know how to respect you!"

After saying that, Madam Huo stood up and left, leaving Su Wanwan sitting alone on the sofa, unable to calm down for a long time.

She knew that this was just the beginning. What awaited her next would be more challenges and difficulties. However, for the sake of her love and to prove her innocence, she decided to face everything bravely.

Su Wanwan picked up her phone and sent a message to Huo Yanshen: "Yan Shen, I'm fine. No matter what happens, I will always be by your side. Let's face it together."

Putting down the phone, Su Wanwan walked to the window and looked at the Huo Group building in the distance.
