The CEO's 100 Billion Bride: The Secret War of the Rich
Chapter 36 The Old Man's Conditions
Su Wanwan stood in the living room of the Huo family's mansion, her heart beating like a drum. She never thought that one day she would step into the Huo family's doorstep in this way.
Huo Yanshen stood beside her with an expressionless face, but Su Wanwan could feel the pressure from his tense body.
"The old man will be here soon." The butler said respectfully and left the room.
The air seemed to freeze. Su Wanwan took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew that the next conversation would determine the fate of her and the fetus in her belly.
Heavy footsteps came closer and closer. Mr. Huo walked slowly into the reception room with a cane. Although he was over 70 years old, his eyes were still as sharp as a hawk, and his aura was as strong as ever.
"Please sit down." Mr. Huo pointed at the sofa with his cane, his voice low and majestic.
Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen sat down in silence. Old Master Huo sat opposite them, looking back and forth between the two of them.
"Yan Shen, is this the woman you're looking for?" Old Master Huo went straight to the point, with obvious displeasure in his tone.
Huo Yanshen frowned slightly and was about to speak, but Su Wanwan beat him to it.
"Mr. Huo, I'm Su Wanwan. I'm sorry to meet you in this way." Su Wanwan suppressed her inner uneasiness and tried to remain calm.
Old Master Huo snorted coldly, "The daughter of the Su family? I heard about your father's suicide. I didn't expect that your daughter would do such a thing."
Su Wanwan's face turned pale, but she quickly calmed down. She knew that every detail of this conversation was crucial.
"Old man, things are not what you think." Huo Yanshen finally spoke, "Wanwan she——"
"Shut up!" Old Master Huo interrupted, "I didn't ask you." He turned his sharp eyes to Su Wanwan, "I asked you, did you deliberately get pregnant with Yan Shen's child in order to climb up the big tree of our Huo family?"
Su Wanwan was shocked, but she remained calm on the surface. She looked directly into Mr. Huo's eyes and said word by word: "Grandpa, I admit that it was a mistake for me to have a relationship with Huo Yanshen. But I never meant to take advantage of the opportunity to get close to the Huo family. This child was an accident."
Mr. Huo sneered, "Accident? You young people always try to shirk responsibility."
"Grandpa, I don't mean to shirk my responsibility." Su Wanwan took a deep breath, "I came here to have a good talk with you about the future of this child."
Mr. Huo narrowed his eyes and was silent for a moment. Suddenly, he said, "Okay, let's talk. What conditions do you want? Name your price."
Su Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then she understood. Mr. Huo wanted to solve the problem with money.
"Grandpa, I don't need money." Su Wanwan said firmly, "I just hope that this child can come into this world healthy and have a complete family."
Mr. Huo frowned, obviously not expecting Su Wanwan to say that. He pondered for a moment, and suddenly revealed a meaningful smile.
"You sound nice. In that case, I have a few conditions." Mr. Huo's tone suddenly became stern. "First, before the child is born, you must move into the Huo family and receive round-the-clock care."
Su Wanwan's heart tightened, but she still nodded.
“Second, you must sign an agreement to give up any inheritance rights to the Huo Group. The custody of the child must also be given to the Huo family.”
"This is impossible!" Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly and glared at his adoptive father.
Su Wanwan reached out and held Huo Yanshen, signaling him to calm down. She took a deep breath, looked at Mr. Huo and said, "Grandpa, I can give up my inheritance rights, but I hope to share the custody of the child with Huo Yanshen."
Mr. Huo snorted coldly, "You have no room for bargaining."
The atmosphere was tense for a while. At this moment, Mr. Huo suddenly changed the subject.
"However, if you can prove your worth, maybe I can reconsider." He looked at Su Wanwan meaningfully, "I heard that you are very famous in the business school. If you can help the Huo Group solve a difficult problem it is currently facing within three months, I can consider giving you and this child a chance."
Su Wanwan's heart moved, and she looked at Huo Yanshen. Huo Yanshen nodded imperceptibly.
"Okay, I accept the challenge." Su Wanwan said firmly.
Mr. Huo showed a satisfied smile, "Very good. Then starting from tomorrow, you will officially join the Huo Group. Yan Shen will arrange your work. Remember, you only have three months."
After saying that, Mr. Huo stood up and left the reception room on crutches. Before leaving, he gave Su Wanwan a meaningful look.
Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen were the only ones left in the room. After a moment of silence, Huo Yanshen said, "I'm sorry for making you feel wronged."
Su Wanwan shook her head and forced a smile. "It's okay. I understand how the old man feels. But I'm afraid these three months won't be easy."
Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's hand, with a hint of determination in his eyes, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side. We will face it together."
Su Wanwan nodded, but her heart was in turmoil. She knew that the real test had just begun. Mr. Huo's conditions were not only a test of her ability, but also a test of her will.
And this is just the first threshold to enter the Huo family. Su Wanwan dare not imagine how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for her in the future. But at this moment, she only knows one thing: for the sake of the child in her belly and for her own future, she must be strong and go on.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky outside the window, Su Wanwan secretly clenched her fists. "Mr. Huo, just wait and see. I, Su Wanwan, will definitely impress you!"
