"You're really capable. Even after something like that happened, she was still able to act with you. Not making a ruckus was really a deep affection for you!" Xiao Yuan had an envious expression.

"Come on!" Speaking of Chu Mengyao, Wu Haoran's face was full of ridicule, "For her to act in this play, I spent a lot of effort."

"Who doesn't love money? I didn't think that the first lady would also be like that." Xiao Yuan patted Wu Haoran's shoulder and comforted him a little, "Besides, things that can be settled with money are not a big deal. She is also the successor to Chu's, if you get married in the future, won't you all be able to return with interest with this money? "

"I will definitely take the money back with interest." Wu Haoran's eyes flashed with the light of calculation.

"The money is always the same. To be able to be together with a woman like Miss Chu, you sure are lucky."

When it came to this matter, Wu Haoran was annoyed. He had never slept with Chu Mengyao before, who would believe him if he told others about it?

No matter what, he had to get her.

Just as she walked out of the banquet hall, Chu Mengyao's phone rang. Ai Ting asked hesitantly, "Mengyao, is this video really from the Drunken Immortal Tavern's balcony?"

Chu Mengyao was at a loss, "Tingting, why do you ask?"

"I asked my friends over there. Their cameras are completely damaged."

Chu Mengyao was confused, "How is that possible? That video must have been taken by a camera." The place in the video was clearly the balcony.

Ai Ting rubbed her temples with her hands. She had not rested since then, and her body was starting to feel unbearable, "Alright, Mengyao. I'll go and take off my makeup. I'll contact you again if there's anything else. "

After hanging up, Chu Mengyao felt unease, she had a premonition, could it be that someone was controlling this intentionally?

She recalled the scene at that time, when Fu Yi's name suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be that Fu Yi was the one who did this?

Thinking about how nervous he was because of the video incident, he called him. His carefree attitude clearly showed that he wasn't afraid that their video would be posted online.

Why was he so sure?

But the angle of Wu Haoran's video and the angle of Fu Yi's standing were different!

Chu Mengyao could not understand no matter how much she thought about it.

In the bathroom, the two women were also discussing the video call.

"This Chu Mengyao's temper is really good. She can even tolerate it if the world turns upside down on the internet. If it were me, I would have already rushed up to the Wu Family and stirred up trouble! "

"All men nowadays are of the same moral character. Now that she's like this, not only will she be magnanimous, she's also helping Wu's to redeem their image. "His EQ is really high."

"You're all thinking too well. This is the situation. I dare say that Chu Zhiruo definitely earned a lot of money from Wu Ruming. "

"What do you mean?"

"Chu Zhiruo has always been a mercenary. Now that something huge had happened to her Wu's, why didn't she take the opportunity to say it out loud? It was just that this silly girl Chu Mengyao, who had no parents since she was young, had always treated her as her own relative. After being sold off by Chu Zhiruo, she was even happily thinking that Chu Zhiruo was good to her! "

Isn't this Chu Mengyao her niece?

"There are too many dirty things in the Wealthy Class."

The two of them walked out of the bathroom.

After a while, Chu Mengyao finally walked out.

She had heard everything they said. Chu Zhiruo was her aunt who had lived together with her for fourteen years, and was like her own mother, the only family she had left in this world. His aunt had given him the best education. She wouldn't hurt him.

When Chu Mengyao returned to the party venue once again, the auction was about to begin. She quickly walked to Wu Haoran's side and sat down.

The host of the auction was still Du Zixuan. Although she was not as beautiful or dazzling as Xie Nana, she had a refreshing feeling on her. She was the host of the program, but her voice was very sweet.

The auction went smoothly as everyone gathered here for the sake of winning the lottery. Even a simple handmade scarf could fetch a price of hundreds of thousands.

But when a framed picture appeared on the stage, Chu Mengyao was stunned. In the painting, a young man and woman were watching the sunrise. Beside the painting, there were a few flying birds. They looked very lively.

Chu Mengyao felt herself becoming a little muddle-headed, this painting was created by him, and it had always been displayed in the Gallery, but now it was hanging here?

Du Zixuan's voice sounded out, "This is a painting donated by the Chu's Group. It was created by the CEO of the Chu's Group when Chu Mengyao was fifteen years old. The Miss Chu followed the famous Chinese painting master Xu Qing to study painting, and Zhang Xingrui's junior sister, they were all the favorite students of Professor Xu.

Everyone in the audience could not help but discuss this. They were not unfamiliar with Zhang Xingrui, as several of her works had received world-class awards. She was a well-known painter of our country, and she herself came from a well-known family.

Chu Mengyao was already very sure that this painting was donated by Chu Zhiruo, but why didn't she discuss it with her in advance? Moreover, it was very easy to misunderstand Du Zixuan's introduction. Although she and Zhang Xingrui were both disciples of Professor Xu Qing, she herself was not too familiar with him. They had only met twice during Professor Xu Qing's birthday banquet. Besides, she was not very famous. The power of her paintings could not be compared to Zhang Xingran's.

"The starting price is one hundred and fifty thousand yuan, and each increase must not be less than ten thousand yuan." Du Zixuan announced that the painting had entered the auction.

Generally speaking, this kind of charity auction was mostly to bid to get the items that they donated back. Everyone felt that it was a great honor to raise the price of their donations. Although Du Zixuan held the painting in high regard, there were not many people who were interested in it.

And every time Wu Haoran increased the bid by a hundred thousand, he would quickly emerge from the crowd of interested people. It didn't take long for the painting to reach 500,000 yuan.

Just as the painting was about to be sold to Wu Haoran for five hundred thousand, a man's voice sounded out, "One million!"

It can't be, can it? A normal painting is actually willing to pay a million gold coins? This is too extravagant!

Everyone couldn't help but turn to look at the backstage, only to see a very unfamiliar young man. Beside him was the CEO of KO Group, Fu Yi. Needless to say, this painting was definitely taken by him.

Everyone was a little surprised, Fu Yi usually did not like participating in such a charity event, so why would he be here tonight?

The one who bid was clearly Meng Yiran, who couldn't help but frown and his heartbeat quickened.

Although Fu Yi did not say anything, she knew that Fu Yi was definitely here to cause trouble.

Wu Haoran was surprised that a competitor had appeared out of nowhere. He glanced at Fu Yi, "One million and five hundred thousand."

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Chu Mengyao said anxiously, "This painting is not worth that much money."

Wu Haoran's eyes were filled with deep emotions, as he spoke emotionally, "Your painting, in my opinion, is a priceless treasure."

Everyone present heard Wu Haoran's confession and at that moment, everyone thought that they had truly fallen in love.

Chu Mengyao felt goosebumps all over, it was extremely awkward.

"Two million!" Meng Yiran's voice sounded again.

The two of them continued to raise the bid, and then Meng Yiran actually raised the bid to 5 million.

Just when Wu Haoran wanted to continue increasing the bid, Chu Mengyao stopped him.

The bidding was filled with the smell of gunpowder, and everyone was enjoying the show. Du Zixuan smiled and said, "At the same time, there are two people who have their eyes on the paintings of the Miss Chu, the auction is extremely intense! So Mr. Wu, can you tell me why you had to take the painting? "

Wu Haoran first looked at Chu Mengyao, and then, his tone contained emotions, "This sculpture was made by my fiancee for the both of us..."

Chu Mengyao frowned in dissatisfaction, it was just something casually done when she was young, how could it have anything to do with him.

Du Zixuan took the conversation and raised her eyebrows at Chu Mengyao, "So you two are childhood friends. Let me make a bold guess, could it be that this painting is their love object?"

"If that's the case, then there's nothing wrong with it." Wu Haoran quickly replied.

"No wonder Mr. Wu had insisted on taking this piece of work. Then, why did the President Fu want to bid for this sculpture? " Du Zixuan's words immediately turned to Fu Yi.

Chu Mengyao was shocked and a little nervous. She was afraid that Fu Yi would say something shocking.

The President Fu, on the other hand, impatiently said, "If you have taken a fancy, then naturally you will bid. How can there be so many reasons?"

It truly was Fu Yi's style.

Chu Mengyao couldn't help but to relax, and her change was naturally seen by Wu Haoran.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold. Both of them were determined to win. If they were to continue with the auction, the price would surely skyrocket. But what if … Du Zixuan thought that it would be terrible if she could not withdraw from the scene, and looked at Fu Yi with a shallow smile, "After all, this piece of work has an extraordinary meaning to Mr. Wu, I wonder if President Fu would be willing to part with it?"

Fu Yi glanced at Du Zixuan, and her tone remained as indifferent as ever, "I have never given anything that I want away. Ten million! "

Everyone was stupefied. This was too domineering!

Only Chu Mengyao could not help but frown. Fu Yi's actions seemed like he was talking about painting, but she seemed to sound like a kind of declaration.

It's too childish to buy such a painting for ten million.

The person with the ugliest expression was Wu Haoran. Before coming to the charity party today, Wu Ruming had repeatedly reminded him that he must perform well in the party to restore the image of his Wu's. Wu's's economic losses were huge within a day, to the point that when it was auctioned off, the budget could only be at most three million.

When Du Zixuan heard the high price of 10 million, he did not react. She looked at Wu Haoran and realized that he did not have any intentions to raise the price, after confirming her request again, Chu Mengyao's painting was finally sold for 10 million.

Wu Haoran was very angry, but he couldn't say anything.

Chu Mengyao's heart was still in her throat. Although the painting was a deal, there would definitely be a lot of trouble in the future.
