Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Su Wanxin is His Child Bride

A long time?

"You only met her after that competition recently, right?" Shen Xiaochen asked in surprise, "I thought you knew her name because you were investigating her company."

Shen Xiaochen’s sweet smile still made Hodward frown and feel displeased.

It’s well known that a company targeted by him usually doesn’t end well. Her saying this, if it spread out, wouldn’t it sway public opinion, stirring up controversy?

"I haven’t investigated Su’s Securities." Hodward stared into Shen Xiaochen’s eyes, and said solemnly, "I have known Wanxin for six years."

Everyone gasped, listening to him continue.

"She is an extremely outstanding girl, very talented and diligent. The financial fraud case at Walton Company five years ago, was initially discovered by her—did none of you know?"

Walton Company?

Was it something Wanxin caused?

Everyone looked at each other, seeing shock and disbelief in each other’s eyes.

Before Walton Company went bankrupt, it was ranked in the top ten of the global corporate wealth rankings.

It took five years to climb from 147th to 4th place, once considered a miracle in many people’s eyes.

But after GE disclosed problems, in just nine months, the company’s stock price plummeted from 80$ per share to 0.3$ per share, causing major losses for most shareholders.

The company president was sentenced to 50 years, and is still in prison. This incident made GE famously skyrocket, then it became unstoppable.

But a well-known fact that was hardly known by outsiders was, initially it was Wanxin, still an intern at GE, who triggered this issue.

Back then, Wanxin hadn’t graduated from university, and Hodward was Fu Shihan’s former college professor. Initially, he wanted Fu Shihan to help at GE, but since Fu Shihan was reluctant, he threw Wanxin in instead.

At that time, Fu Shihan even tricked Hodward, claiming Wanxin was his child bride, saying that in Hua Country rich people all do this, picking a pretty and clever girl to raise from childhood, and directly marrying her when she grows up.

Hodward was shocked at the time, later when he asked Wanxin about it, she too was shocked, angrily cursing Fu Shihan shamelessly in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed.

Wanxin left the hotel, slowly walking on the bustling streets, looking up at the starry sky.

Recalling some events from five years ago, a bitter smile appeared on her lips.

"Child bride, ah... what a pity."

The Fu Family raised her for so many years, and she almost caused a fatal incident.

Wanxin dared not think about it, if Li Mo had died in the car back then, would she still have the courage to return now.

She had been back in Imperial Capital for two months, but still didn’t have the courage to face Li Mo again. He was her beloved, and also the person she dared not meet again in her lifetime.

Wanxin patted her head, took a deep breath and forced herself not to reminisce anymore. She took a taxi back home, then went into Mu Suyu’s room where, under Mu Suyu’s worried gaze, she took her medicine, returned to her room to sleep, and got up on time for work the next day.

At 9:30 in the morning, while Wanxin was focusing on her work, she was startled by Chen Lei shouting at the door—

"Su Wanxin! Come to my office!"

"...President Chen, what trouble have I caused again?" Su Wanxin clutched her chest as she stood up, turning around with the look of a heart attack imminent. "Is the inter-office phone on our desk just for decoration?"
