Naturally, Ji Xiaoli had no idea what was going on in that young man's mind just now.
The reason she left without waiting to withdraw money was, of course, valid.
The court summons had already been delivered. How could she be in the mood to withdraw money?
Ji Xiaoli was in a solemn mood. She never expected the situation in her home country to be so serious.
Some former business partners had already reported to the police, claiming that the Ji family, including Ji Changmin, was suspected of economic crimes and had fled to avoid punishment. They demanded that the police take action.
Within just a few days, the Chinese police had quickly submitted a request to the local police for the extradition of the three suspects, asking them to repatriate the three as soon as possible for investigation.
The court summons was just the first step, but by no means the last.
Ji Changmin was well aware that the fact that he received the court summons so soon meant that his enemies must have been pushing things behind the scenes.
For a moment, no one said a word.
It was Zheng Nanfeng who broke the silence. "Uncle Ji, let me call my dad again. Maybe he can help you."
Ji Changmin shook his head. "Nanfeng, thank you for your kindness. But the financial gap is too huge. If we really try to salvage the situation, the Zheng family will also be dragged down."
Zheng Nanfeng said seriously, "Although the hope is slim, given the friendship between our two families, please don't refuse my help."
Ji Changmin forced a smile. "It's not a matter of refusal. Our Ji Group is now like a leaky ship. I'm afraid it's already beyond saving."
What he meant was that he didn't want to drag the Zheng family down with them.
Wei Yanlan frowned. "So, don't we have any other way out?"
Ji Changmin sighed. "Alas, things have come to this. Let it be."
He had no other options. He might as well plead guilty earlier and try to ensure the safety of his wife and daughter.
But Ji Xiaoli suddenly shook her head and said firmly, "No, there is a way."
Wei Yanlan was skeptical. "Xiaoli, don't make fun of your mom. Even your dad has no idea. What can you do?"
Ji Xiaoli's eyes were full of determination. "Mom, trust me. We will find a way."
Ji Changmin hesitated. "But..."
Ji Xiaoli interrupted him. "There are no 'buts'. Trust me."
Ji Xiaoli frantically contacted the system in her mind. System, how much good luck points do I still need to turn the situation around?
[The specific number needs to be explored by the player. Well, the system suggests that the more you spend, the greater the return.]
Ji Xiaoli: Okay, I'll trust you one more time.
[This system never says anything without certainty.]
After getting the answer from the system, Ji Xiaoli felt a bit more at ease.
"These are not important," Ji Xiaoli waved her hand. "What's important is that we're going back to China tomorrow. So, where shall we go and what shall we do tonight?"
Wei Yanlan couldn't understand. "Shouldn't we be preparing the materials at this time? Why are we still going out to play?"
"Of course we should play!"
Ji Xiaoli said firmly. "It's our last night here. We might as well enjoy ourselves!"
She must seize every opportunity to spend money before going back to China to accumulate enough good luck points!
Zheng Nanfeng was about to object, but then he suddenly remembered the system that Ji Xiaoli had mentioned that day.
It seemed that the more money she spent, the higher the good luck return...
After a moment of silence, Zheng Nanfeng unexpectedly nodded. "Xiaoli is right. Otherwise, we won't have such a good chance again."
Wei Yanlan thought about it and realized that it made sense.
"Okay, then."
So that night, the four of them went to a world - famous money - burning place and really experienced a night of debauchery.
Originally, Ji Xiaoli didn't want to bring Zheng Nanfeng along, but since he always followed Ji Changmin and Wei Yanlan around, she didn't have the heart to drive him away.
There was everything in that place, food, drinks, and entertainment. The atmosphere of carnival was everywhere, making the four of them have a great time.
Ji Xiaoli had the most fun. She led the others to indulge as well.
The expenses of just one night were an astronomical figure that an ordinary person could never imagine.
The system's notification sound never stopped.
[Congratulations to the player for a successful consumption. 100 good luck points have been added.]
[Congratulations to the player for a successful consumption. 1000 good luck points have been added.]
[Congratulations to the player for a successful consumption. 600 good luck points have been added.]
...
Early the next morning, Ji Changmin and Wei Yanlan had calmed down a lot.
Zheng Nanfeng left by himself sometime last night without even saying a word.
Ji Xiaoli felt a bit sour, but she didn't know why.
The three of them turned on their phones again, picked up the court summons, and prepared to return to China to face the trial.
Even Ji Xiaoli, who was taking a last - ditch effort, had become much calmer.
She had contacted the system for a long time last night. Although the system seemed to be ignoring her most of the time, she wasn't afraid anymore. Even if things didn't work out, her family was by her side. What was there to be afraid of?
Wei Yanlan was the same.
As a person who always kept up with the latest trends, she even had the mood to check her Weibo.
This check was eye - opening.
Wei Yanlan slapped her thigh and laughed. "Xiaoli, hubby, come and take a look!"
Ji Changmin put down the book in his hand. "What's going on, wife?"
Hearing the sound, Ji Xiaoli also leaned over.
Wei Yanlan directly held the tablet in the middle of the three of them. "Look, the three of us are on the hot search again!"
As she said this, there was a hint of pride in her voice.
"It's the three of us, the whole family. No one is missing."
Ji Xiaoli was also a bit interested.
Although she had been on the hot search more than once, this was the first time she was on it with her family.
So Ji Xiaoli and her father also took out their tablets and started looking.
After opening the news, a hot search had topped the list. It was extremely popular and even had the word "explosive" next to it!
Even its name was quite unique -
#The Happiness of the Rich Is Beyond Your Imagination#
The pictures in the hot search were secretly taken during their travels in the past few days. There were pictures of them spending a fortune without blinking an eye at the Royal Horse Racing Field, pictures of them smiling at a high - end fashion show, and pictures of them boarding a private jet -
"Look! The happiness of the rich is really beyond our imagination. The money they spent in just three days is something we won't see in several lifetimes. It's not an exaggeration to describe the three of them as walking gold mines!"
"Look again. We usually have to think twice before taking a plane when we go abroad. But our President Ji bought a private jet without even frowning! What a concept! This is just insanely rich!"
"Also, look at this picture from the Royal Horse Racing Field. One of those small betting chips is enough for me to live a happy life for a lifetime! Everyone can calculate how much money their family spent in three days if you have time. I have a weak heart, so I won't torture myself..."
After reading it, Ji Xiaoli also had a headache.
Actually... she didn't remember how much money she had spent either.
The money she earned herself plus what her parents gave her was an astronomical figure for ordinary people.
Anyway, she just kept spending, spending, spending. Buying was all that mattered.
Wei Yanlan sighed. "I've lived for decades, but this is the happiest time in my life. Our family is reunited and we can be happy together."
Ji Changmin felt the same way. He had been working hard for half his life, looking for his daughter while struggling in the company. He hadn't had such a long vacation in a long time.
He smiled. "This is also the happiest time in my life."
Ji Xiaoli smiled slightly and held her parents' hands.
"Anyway, no matter what the result is, our family has spent these days together. Even if... I'll have no regrets."
If only there could be a turn for the better.
Finally, when the plane landed, the system's notification sound rang again.
[Congratulations to the player for successfully spending 66,666 good luck points this week.]
[Congratulations to the player for exceeding the weekly task quota and completing a hidden task. Your good luck is about to double.]
