Su Wanwan held the loan contract in her hand, still struggling in her heart. She knew that once she signed the contract, she would be drawn deeper into the vortex of the Huo family. However, her mother's illness and the child in her belly left her with no choice.

Taking a deep breath, Su Wanwan picked up the pen and signed her name on the contract. The sound of the pen tip scratching on the paper seemed like the sound of the gears of fate turning, foreshadowing a huge turning point in her life.

"Ms. Su," Assistant Lin's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Mrs. Huo wants you to go to her office."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened. Mrs. Huo's visit to her might not be a good thing. But at this moment, she had no way out.

“Okay, I’ll be there right away.”

After tidying up her appearance, Su Wanwan took a deep breath and walked towards Mrs. Huo's office. After knocking on the door gently, she heard an elegant voice from inside: "Come in."

Pushing open the door, Su Wanwan saw Mrs. Huo sitting behind a large desk, looking at her with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Su, please take a seat." Mrs. Huo pointed to the chair opposite.

Su Wanwan sat down cautiously, remaining alert. She knew that in this wealthy family full of calculations, there might be a trap behind every smile.

"I heard that you have been doing very well in the company recently," Mrs. Huo said straight to the point, "The old man seems to be very satisfied with you."

Su Wanwan replied modestly: "Madam, you are too kind. I just try my best to do my job well."

Mrs. Huo chuckled, "Don't be so modest. I know your ability. But..." Her tone suddenly became serious, "Have you ever thought about how much impact your appearance will have on our Huo family?"

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, but she remained calm on the surface, "What does Madam mean?"

Mrs. Huo stood up, walked to the window, and said with her back to Su Wanwan, "You are pregnant with Yan Shen's child. This has caused quite a stir within the family. Some people support it, while others oppose it."

She turned around and looked directly into Su Wanwan's eyes. "I want to know, what do you want?"

Su Wanwan felt an invisible pressure coming towards her. She knew that her answer would determine her future in the Huo family.

“Madam,” Su Wanwan took a deep breath and said firmly, “I just want a healthy and happy future for my child. I don’t expect the Huo family’s wealth or status.”

Mrs. Huo stared at Su Wanwan, as if to judge the truth of her words. After a long while, she slowly said, "You know, Su Wanwan, you remind me of myself when I was young."

Su Wanwan was slightly startled. She didn't expect Mrs. Huo to say such a thing.

Mrs. Huo continued, "I once entered the Huo family with a passion just like you. However, this family is much more complicated than you think."

She approached Su Wanwan, her voice low and serious, "I can give you a chance, but the premise is that you must prove your worth. Not only in work, but also in family affairs."

Su Wanwan's heart moved, she understood the weight of Mrs. Huo's words. This was both an opportunity and a test.

"I understand, ma'am." Su Wanwan said solemnly, "I will do my best to live up to your expectations."

Mrs. Huo nodded. "Very good. Remember, in this family, you must be careful with every step. Some people will not easily accept your existence."

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open and Lu Wei rushed in.

"Auntie, I heard..." Lu Wei's words stopped abruptly. Seeing Su Wanwan's presence, her expression instantly became complicated.

Mrs. Huo frowned. "Xiao Wei, didn't I tell you to knock on the door?"

Lu Wei curled her lips, "I'm sorry, Auntie. I didn't know you were talking to someone." Her eyes stayed on Su Wanwan for a while, then turned to Mrs. Huo, "I came to tell you that Brother Yan Shen just announced an important decision."

Mrs. Huo raised her eyebrows. "What decision?"

Lu Wei took a deep breath, as if she was gathering her emotions. "He said... he wanted to publicly acknowledge Su Wanwan's identity and give her a formal position."

Mrs. Huo's expression suddenly became serious, "Are you sure?"

Lu Wei nodded, a hint of jealousy flashing in her eyes, "I heard it with my own ears."

Mrs. Huo was silent for a moment, then turned to Su Wanwan, "It seems that you are more capable than I thought."

Su Wanwan was shocked. She had no idea that Huo Yanshen had such a plan. But she knew that she couldn't show any surprise or hesitation at this moment.

"Madam, I just learned the news as well." Su Wanwan said calmly, "No matter what decision Mr. Huo makes, I will do my best to contribute to the company and the family."

Mrs. Huo looked at Su Wanwan deeply, and then said, "Okay, I understand. You two should go out first. I need to think about it carefully."

Su Wanwan and Lu Wei walked out of the office together. As soon as they closed the door, Lu Wei said coldly: "Su Wanwan, don't be complacent. Do you think that with the support of Brother Yan Shen, you can gain a firm foothold in the Huo family?"

Su Wanwan looked at Lu Wei calmly, "Ms. Lu, I have never had such an idea. I am just doing what I should do."

Lu Wei sneered, "Really? Then I advise you to be careful. This is not a place where you can act wild as you please."

After saying that, Lu Wei turned and left, leaving Su Wanwan standing alone in the corridor, her heart surging.

After returning to her office, Su Wanwan immediately sent a message to Huo Yanshen: "Can I see you? There is something important to discuss."

Soon, Huo Yanshen replied: "Come to my office."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath, sorted out her thoughts, and then walked towards Huo Yanshen's office.

Pushing open the door, Su Wanwan saw Huo Yanshen standing in front of the window with his back to her.

"What do you want to say?" Huo Yanshen didn't turn around and said in a low voice.

Su Wanwan got straight to the point: "I just heard from Lu Wei that you plan to make my identity public and give me a formal position. Is this true?"

Huo Yanshen turned around and looked at Su Wanwan with deep eyes, "Yes. What do you think?"

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and said, "I think this decision is too hasty. Revealing my identity now may cause unnecessary trouble to the company and you personally."

Huo Yanshen approached Su Wanwan, "What are you worried about?"

"What I'm worried about," Su Wanwan looked directly into Huo Yanshen's eyes, "is that this decision will make many people question you. They will think that you made an irrational decision because of personal feelings."

Huo Yanshen was silent for a moment, then said: "You are right. However, I can't let you stay in this embarrassing situation."

Su Wanwan felt warm in her heart, but soon calmed down, "I understand your good intentions. However, I hope to be recognized based on my own strength. Give me some time to prove my worth."

Huo Yan looked at Su Wanwan deeply, as if assessing her determination. Finally, he nodded, "Okay, I respect your decision. But if you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me."

Su Wanwan nodded gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding. I will try my best."

After leaving Huo Yanshen's office, Su Wanwan felt relieved, but at the same time she realized that the burden on her shoulders was heavier. She knew that the days ahead would be even more difficult. However, for her own future and for the baby in her belly, she had to persevere.

Back at her desk, Su Wanwan began to devote herself to work. She understood that only by proving her worth with practical actions could she gain a firm foothold in the Huo family.

At this time, in the study of the Huo family mansion, Mr. Huo was staring at the night outside the window, as if thinking about something.

"It seems that Yan Shen is really in love." Old Master Huo murmured to himself, "Su Wanwan, I hope you won't let me down."

As night fell, the Huo Group's building was still brightly lit. In the heart of this business empire
