When Tao Yao saw Bai Mengmeng's face, she instantly understood why Sheng Mingrui was not interested in the original owner. Bai Mengmeng looked pure and lovely, gentle and considerate, and it seemed that she was very good at making men happy.

Bai Mengmeng looked at Tao Yao provocatively.

"Mengmeng, this is Jiang Wan. Uncle Jiang took me in for a while, and I treated her as my sister."

After hearing what he said, Bai Mengmeng showed a look of heartache on her face.

"Mingrui, you've worked so hard, Miss Jiang. I want to thank you for taking care of me on Mingrui's behalf. Mingrui treats you as his sister, so if you don't mind me calling you Sister Jiang, I hope you don't mind me calling you Sister Jiang."

Tao Yao couldn't help but find it funny when she saw Bai Mengmeng's hypocritical appearance. If Bai Mengmeng really cared about Sheng Mingrui, why didn't she help him at the beginning? She was the daughter of the Bai family, and she wouldn't dare to disobey her family.

But she must have some assets in her hands. Now she comes out pretending to be a good person. Her methods are really clever. But it’s just a thousand-year-old fox playing Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio with her. Bai Mengmeng is still a little naive.

Tao Yao pretended to be sad and looked at Sheng Mingrui, "Miss Bai, I hope you and Mingrui can be happy. It will be worth it for him to work so hard in the past and try every possible way to make a comeback and be with you."

"Miss Jiang, thank you for your reminder. Don't worry, Mingrui and I will be together forever. Look at my memory. I suddenly remembered that I shouldn't call you Miss Jiang. I should call you Mrs. Song. But I heard that the Song family has been uneasy recently. Mrs. Song, you should be okay, right?"

Tao Yao naturally knew that Bai Mengmeng was talking about the original owner who had committed suicide by cutting her wrists and was admitted to the hospital a few days ago. After all, for a big family like the Song family, any little disturbance would be spread throughout the entire circle. The original owner had been causing trouble in recent years, and her reputation was completely ruined.

Tao Yao shook her head nonchalantly, "Thank you for your concern, Miss Bai. I'm fine."

Sheng Mingrui looked at Bai Mengmeng with a somewhat ugly expression. He was not a fool, and he could still hear Bai Mengmeng's obvious sarcasm.

"Mengmeng, let's go. Don't you want the Heart of True Love? I think the auction is almost over, so it should be here soon."

Bai Mengmeng smiled sweetly and nodded, "Okay, let's go."

"Fox spirit, that Bai Mengmeng just provoked you like that, yet you remained so calm. This is not like you."

The system knew that Tao Yao was a vengeful person. If someone provoked her, she would return the favor tenfold or a hundredfold. Just now, Bai Mengmeng was so arrogant, but she actually held back. This was not like her style.

Tao Yao calmly took a sip of wine and said, "Why rush? It's more fun to take your time. Let's go and see this heart of true love."

As soon as Tao Yao sat down, Song Zhao smelled a faint smell of alcohol on her. He frowned and glanced at Sheng Mingrui behind him with an unhappy expression.

The finale of the auction was the true love that made Sheng Mingrui and Bai Mengmeng's relationship so commendable in the original book.

A ten-carat pink diamond of superb quality, a token of love given by a foreign king to his favorite concubine in the last century, gleamed faintly under the transparent light, dazzling and dazzling. Many people below were already holding their cards ready to go.

Bai Mengmeng looked at the heart of true love on the stage, with a greedy glint in her eyes. If Sheng Mingrui could win this heart of true love today, she would definitely become the object of envy of everyone in the upper class.

"Mingrui, I heard that this is a token of love specially made by William II for his beloved woman. Didn't you say you wanted to marry me?"

Sheng Mingrui immediately understood what Bai Mengmeng meant. She wanted the heart of true love.

The auction began on the stage with a starting price of 25 million.

Sheng Mingrui picked up the number plate in his hand without hesitation.

The auctioneer on the stage looked at the number plates below.

"Number eight, twenty-six million. Any other bids?"

Sheng Mingrui was nervous and uneasy, but fortunately, more than 20 million was still within his affordability. His company had just started up and did not have much liquid assets. Previously, because of Jiang Wan, Jiang's father had injected capital into him. Now that the company had lost the Jiang family's funds, it could barely survive.

The number 6 in the crowd raised his number plate. Number was a gem collector who liked to collect all kinds of rare gems. Today's heart of true love was a rare treasure with high collection value. Coupled with a background that raised its value, it would be easy to sell it in the future.

"Number six, number six bids twenty-seven million. Is there anyone else bidding higher?"

Cold sweat began to appear on Sheng Mingrui's forehead. He didn't expect that someone would snatch such a broken pink diamond from him.

Bai Meng dreamed that he was hesitating and not holding up the sign, and she was so anxious that she kept urging him.

"Mingrui, hurry up and raise the sign, or someone will take it away."

Sheng Mingrui had no choice but to raise his hand and bid again.

"Number eight bids 28 million. Is there anyone else?"

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the number six sign was raised again.

"thirty million."

"Number six bids thirty million. Is there anyone else?"

Sheng Mingrui is now in a difficult situation. Thirty million has already exceeded his budget. If he raises the price again, he simply does not have that much money.

Bai Mengmeng, who was standing by, didn't know what he was thinking. She only knew that this heart of true love must not be taken away by anyone.

"Hurry up and raise your sign, Sheng Mingrui, what are you doing?"

Tao Yao listened to Bai Mengmeng's anxious voice behind her and casually raised the number plate in her hand.

"Fifty million."

Tao Yao put down the number plate and glanced at Bai Mengmeng behind him with a mocking look.

Sure enough, the next second, Bai Mengmeng snatched the number plate from Sheng Mingrui.

"Sixty million."

Everyone present, even the auctioneer, was shocked. The starting price almost tripled, which was an astonishing jump.

Sheng Mingrui grabbed Bai Mengmeng's hand tightly and glared at her angrily.

"Bai Mengmeng, what are you doing?"

Sheng Mingrui really wanted to scold Bai Mengmeng harshly, but all the people sitting at the auction today were important figures. If he really did that, he would only become the laughing stock of the day.

Bai Mengmeng bit her lip in grievance, "Mingrui, I just want true love. Can't you even fulfill this little wish of mine?"

Sheng Mingrui felt the contemptuous looks from the people around him, and he felt anxious and angry. Even though Bai Mengmeng was still making a fuss, the looks from these people made him feel despised.

Taoyao raised the sign calmly.

"Eighty million."

The auctioneer on the stage struck the hammer.

"Eighty million per time, is there anyone else bidding?"

Bai Mengmeng looked at Sheng Mingrui with some disappointment. She thought Sheng Mingrui had feelings for her, but he was unwilling to spend such a small amount of money on her.

Sheng Mingrui heard the whispers in his ear, "This Bai Mengmeng thinks she has climbed up the social ladder. Why is she pretending to be rich when she doesn't even have tens of millions of dollars?"

"Exactly. I heard that Sheng Mingrui relied on Miss Jiang to make a comeback, but once he became successful, he immediately dumped her and hooked up with Bai Mengmeng. I don't know what magic this Sheng Mingrui has, a poor man who doesn't even have tens of millions."

"Eighty million twice, is there anyone else who wants to bid?"
