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

The light in the basement was dazzling and cold, illuminating the majestic face of Mr. Huo. Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen stood there, their hearts beating like thunder, waiting for the truth that might change everything.

Mr. Huo looked at them deeply and said slowly: "Follow me. This is not the place to talk."

The three of them returned to the study in silence. Mr. Huo sat down behind the desk and motioned Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen to sit opposite him.

"Yan Shen," Mr. Huo's eyes fell on Huo Yan Shen, "You have been investigating your own life experience, right?"

Huo Yanshen clenched his fists and nodded.

Mr. Huo sighed: "I wanted to wait until the right time to tell you. But it seems that fate has its own plans."

He opened the drawer, took out a thick folder and pushed it in front of the two men.

"Everything you want to know is in here," said Mr. Huo, "including who your biological parents are, why you became a child of the Huo family, and..." He turned his eyes to Su Wanwan, "the truth about the Su family's bankruptcy."

Su Wanwan felt dizzy and reached out to open the folder with trembling hands.

For the next hour, the only sounds in the room were the shuffling of papers and occasional exclamations. The truth was like a double-edged sword, solving years of mysteries while also bringing new shocks.

It turns out that Huo Yanshen's biological parents were once the right-hand men of the Huo family. More than 20 years ago, they discovered a conspiracy that was enough to subvert the business world, but encountered an accident when they were about to expose it. In order to protect the young Huo Yanshen, they entrusted the child to the Huo family, and they hid their identities and disappeared.

The bankruptcy of the Su family was inextricably linked to this conspiracy. Su Wanwan's father found some clues before he died, but met with an accident before he could fully investigate.

"So," Su Wanwan held back tears, her voice trembling, "my father's death..."

Mr. Huo nodded heavily: "It is very likely not an accident. The conspiracy back then is still going on. And you two are precisely the key to that conspiracy."

Huo Yanshen stood up suddenly: "What should we do now? Who are those behind this?"

Mr. Huo shook his head: "We can't act rashly. Over the years, I have been investigating secretly, but the other party is powerful and hidden very deeply. Now, we must be more careful."

He looked at the two of them seriously and said, "From today on, you must be extra vigilant. Especially you, Wanwan. You must be extremely careful with every step you take in this wealthy family."

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and nodded. She felt an unprecedented determination rising in her heart.

After leaving the study, Huo Yanshen hugged Su Wanwan tightly: "I'm sorry, Wanwan. I didn't know things would be like this..."

Su Wanwan leaned on his chest and whispered, "Don't apologize, Yan Shen. This is not your fault. We have to face this together."

Back in the room, Su Wanwan stood alone in front of the window, looking at the garden in the night. Her mind replayed everything she had just learned, and she felt as if she had experienced a huge storm.

But after the storm, she felt something in her heart was quietly changing. The once simple and somewhat naive Su Wanwan seemed to have disappeared, replaced by a stronger and more vigilant woman.

She thought of her father and Huo Yanshen's biological parents. They all paid a huge price to pursue the truth. Now, this burden fell on her and Huo Yanshen's shoulders.

Su Wanwan clenched her fists and swore in her heart: no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there are ahead, she will stand firm in this wealthy family. Not only for herself, but also for those who have sacrificed, and to uncover the truth that has been buried for many years.

She took out her phone and sent a message to her best friend Zhang Jiaying: "Jiaying, I need you to do me a favor. Help me collect some information about the top business families. The more detailed the better. Also, teach me some high-level social skills."

After sending the message, Su Wanwan walked to the dressing table and looked at herself in the mirror carefully. She knew that from today on, she had to become stronger and smarter.

She picked up a lipstick and applied it carefully. This was not just makeup, but more like putting on armor for the upcoming battle.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Come in," Su Wanwan said, and at the same time saw Huo Yanshen walk in in the mirror.

"Wanwan," Huo Yanshen's voice was filled with concern, "Are you okay?"

Su Wanwan turned around and gave a resolute smile: "I'm fine, Yan Shen. In fact, I've never felt so clear and strong."

Huo Yanshen looked at her in surprise: "You... have changed."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Yes, I must change. For our future, for the truth, I must become stronger."

Huo Yanshen walked forward and held her hand tightly: "Let's face it together. No matter what happens, I will be by your side."

Su Wanwan held his hand, with a firm light in her eyes: "I know. But Yan Shen, from now on, we have to be more careful. We don't know who the enemy is, nor do we know where they will attack from."

Huo Yanshen nodded solemnly: "You are right. We need to make a plan."

At this moment, Su Wanwan's phone suddenly vibrated. She picked it up and saw a message from an unfamiliar number:

"Want to know more about the truth? See you at the usual place tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. Be careful when you come, and don't let anyone follow you."

Su Wanwan and Huo Yanshen looked at each other and saw vigilance and suspicion in each other's eyes.

"This might be a trap," Huo Yanshen whispered.

Su Wanwan pondered for a moment, then said firmly: "But it may also be our only clue. I must go."

Huo Yan frowned: "It's too dangerous. Let me go."

Su Wanwan shook her head: "No, I have to go. The other party may know you, but not necessarily me. I can hide my identity better."

Looking at Su Wanwan's determined eyes, Huo Yanshen knew that he could not change her decision. He sighed: "Okay, but I will protect you in the dark."

Su Wanwan nodded: "Thank you, Yan Shen. We must be prepared for all possibilities."

The two began to discuss tomorrow's plan in detail, considering various possible situations and countermeasures. In the process, Su Wanwan felt that her mind had become sharper and calmer than ever before.

It was late at night, and after Huo Yanshen left, Su Wanwan stood in front of the window, looking at the city lights in the distance. She knew that behind the bright lights, there were countless conspiracies and dangers hidden.

But she was no longer afraid. On the contrary, she felt an unprecedented power surging in her body. She, Su Wanwan, would no longer be the little girl who passively accepted her fate. From today on, she would take the initiative and carve out her own world in this complex world of the rich.

“Come on,” she whispered into the night, “let’s see who is the real winner of this game.”

Su Wanwan turned back to the bed and picked up the etiquette manual for wealthy families on the bedside. She knew that to gain a foothold in this world, she needed not only courage and wisdom, but also perfect disguise.

And she is ready.

Tomorrow will be a brand new beginning. No matter how many obstacles there are ahead, she will move forward without hesitation. Because she knows that only by standing at the top can she see the whole picture of the world and find the truth that has been hidden for many years.

Su Wanwan took a deep breath and turned off the desk lamp. In the darkness, her eyes flashed with determination.

Rich family, here she comes.
