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

Su Wanwan forced a smile as she and Mrs. Huo shuttled among the guests. She glanced at the door of the banquet hall from time to time, expecting Huo Yanshen to appear at any time. However, she knew in her heart that since it involved the "Black Phoenix", Huo Yanshen would probably not be able to get away in a short time.

"Wanwan," Mrs. Huo called softly, interrupting her thoughts, "Mr. Chen wants to talk to you for a few words."

Su Wanwan then noticed that Mr. Chen from the State Council had come to her side without her noticing. The old man was in high spirits, with sharp eyes, looking at her meaningfully.

"Hello, Grandpa Chen," Su Wanwan said respectfully, her mind working rapidly, thinking about how to respond.

Elder Chen smiled and said, "Congratulations, girl. I heard that you are very talented in business. It is a blessing for the Huo family to have a daughter-in-law like you."

Su Wanwan replied modestly: "Grandpa Chen, thank you for your praise. I still have a lot to learn."

Old Chen looked at her meaningfully and said in a loud voice: "Girl, do you know that your current identity is not only the daughter-in-law of the Huo family, but also a person with an important mission."

Su Wanwan's heart trembled, and she asked calmly, "What does Grandpa Chen mean?"

Elder Chen did not answer directly, but said: "The Huo Group is planning a major project recently, which involves national strategic interests. As Huo Yanshen's wife, you hope to play a role at a critical moment."

Before Su Wanwan had time to think about it, a slightly drunken voice suddenly interrupted: "Hey, isn't this our bride? She is more beautiful than flowers!"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw that it was Lin Zhiqiang, the vice president of Huo's Group. His face was slightly red, and he had obviously drunk a lot of wine.

"Hello, Uncle Lin," Su Wanwan greeted politely, but a sense of vigilance rose in her heart. She remembered that Huo Yanshen had once reminded her to be careful of this seemingly loyal deputy.

Lin Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Wanwan, you have to assist Yan Shen. Our company has made a big move recently. Without your support behind the scenes, how can he devote himself to work?"

Su Wanwan keenly caught the tentative meaning in Lin Zhiqiang's words. She smiled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Lin, I will definitely play the role of a good wife. But I am an outsider in the company's affairs, so I still have to rely on you old guys to assist Yan Shen."

Lin Zhiqiang's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment, but then he put on a warm smile: "Haha, Wanwan, you are too modest. I heard that you have excellent grades in business school. If you have any good ideas in the future, please tell your uncle!"

At this moment, a commotion came from the other end of the banquet hall. Su Wanwan looked up and saw several burly bodyguards escorting a man out.

"What's going on?" asked Old Chen with a frown.

Mrs. Huo walked over quickly and explained in a low voice: "Someone tried to sneak into Huo Yanshen's study and was discovered by the security guard."

Su Wanwan's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "Did they catch the person? Who sent him?"

Mrs. Huo shook her head: "The man has been caught, but we don't know who ordered it. The old man is dealing with the matter."

Su Wanwan looked at Lin Zhiqiang thoughtfully and found that his expression was a little unnatural. But soon, Lin Zhiqiang returned to normal and said to the guests around him with a smile: "Don't worry, everyone, it may be a blind thief who wants to try his luck. Let's continue drinking and don't let such a small thing affect the festive atmosphere!"

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone vibrated. She took it out and saw that it was a message from Huo Yanshen: "Don't worry, everything is under control. Continue to entertain the guests, I will be back soon."

Su Wanwan felt relieved and looked up at the guests with a polite smile: "Everyone, please continue to eat. We are about to cut the cake, and I hope everyone can share our joy together."

The guests responded one after another, and the atmosphere gradually became lively again. But Su Wanwan felt that under this seemingly calm surface, an undercurrent was surging.

She looked around and found that Lu Wei had left the banquet hall at some point. The middle-aged man who had looked at her meaningfully before was now chatting with several business leaders as if nothing had happened, glancing at her from time to time.

Su Wanwan suppressed her uneasiness and continued to mingle among the guests. She knew that as the new daughter-in-law of the Huo family, she had to behave impeccably.

Just as she was about to check the arrangements for the wedding banquet, a familiar voice sounded in her ears: "Do you need help, Mrs. Huo?"

Su Wanwan turned around and saw that it was her best friend Zhang Jiaying. Seeing her friend's familiar face, Su Wanwan finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Jiaying, you came at the right time. I just need help."

Zhang Jiaying smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm here to be your assistant. But I just heard some interesting news, do you want to listen to it?"

Su Wanwan immediately became alert: "What news?"

Zhang Jiaying lowered his voice and said, "I just heard two people discussing in the bathroom that the Huo Group has recently secretly acquired shares in a new energy company. Moreover, it seems that other consortiums are also interested in this company."

Su Wanwan's heart moved, and she remembered what Chen Lao and Lin Zhiqiang had said before. Could this be the "major project" of the Huo Group?

At this moment, the door of the banquet hall opened again, and Huo Yanshen appeared at the door. His expression was still calm, but Su Wanwan saw a hint of fatigue from his slightly frowned brows.

Huo Yanshen walked quickly to Su Wanwan and said softly, "Sorry, I kept you waiting for so long."

Su Wanwan held his hand and felt the warmth of his palm: "It's okay, is everything okay?"

Huo Yanshen looked at her deeply and said, "It has been solved temporarily, but there is still some follow-up work to be done. But today is our big day, I will not leave again."

At this moment, the MC's voice rang out: "Please invite the bride and groom to come to the stage. We are going to start cutting the cake!"

Huo Yanshen held Su Wanwan's hand and walked to the center of the stage. Under the light, the huge wedding cake shone brightly.

When they stood in front of the cake and were about to cut the first piece, Su Wanwan suddenly felt dizzy. She subconsciously held onto the cake table, and Huo Yanshen immediately held onto her waist.

"Are you okay?" Huo Yanshen asked with concern.

Su Wanwan forced a smile: "Maybe I'm too nervous, it's okay."

However, just as she was about to pick up the knife, she suddenly felt a severe abdominal pain. Su Wanwan's face suddenly changed, and she almost fell down.

Huo Yanshen hugged her and shouted in panic: "Wanwan! Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"

The scene suddenly fell into chaos. Guests stood up and talked a lot. Mrs. Huo and Mr. Huo also hurried over.

Just then, a calm voice sounded: "Let me take a look."

Everyone looked back and saw a middle-aged man walking towards them quickly. He took out a stethoscope from his pocket and was obviously a doctor.

Huo Yanshen felt relieved and said quickly, "Doctor Li, please come and see what's wrong with my wife."

Doctor Li examined her carefully and his face became serious. He whispered to Huo Yanshen, "Mr. Huo, I'm afraid this is caused by early pregnancy reaction and overwork. I suggest you send her to the hospital for a comprehensive examination immediately."

Huo Yanshen turned pale when he heard this. He hugged Su Wanwan tightly and said in a trembling voice: "Don't be afraid, Wanwan, I will take you to the hospital right now."

At this moment, Su Wanwan spoke weakly: "Yan Shen, don't panic... I'm fine..."

Huo Yanshen shook his head and said firmly: "No, we have to go to the hospital."

He turned to the guests and said apologetically, "I'm so sorry, everyone. My wife is not feeling well, so we have to leave early. Please continue to enjoy the wine and food, and you're welcome."

After saying that, he picked up Su Wanwan and quickly left the banquet hall under the escort of bodyguards.

In the banquet hall, the guests were talking about it. Some were surprised that the bride was pregnant, while others were disturbed by this sudden change.

In the corner, a strange light flashed in Lu Wei's eyes, and an imperceptible sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Mr. and Mrs. Huo tried hard to comfort the guests, but everyone could feel that this originally dazzling wedding of the century seemed to be shrouded in a lingering haze.
