Chapter 179: Illusion

At this moment, things were not as easy for Tom as Ji Xiaoli thought.

Originally, it was assumed that Tom and Shen Wei had a mutually beneficial cooperative relationship, and it was indeed reasonable to think that Shen Wei had something on him.

"This damned show actually has such high ratings. I should have ruined it back then!" Shen Wei glared fiercely at the hot search on Weibo and was so angry that she almost threw the mouse.

She thought how great it would have been if she had smeared the show when she left the production team. If she couldn't have a good life, neither could Ji Xiaoli.

And Tom was on the verge of collapse at this moment.

"I said, when are you going to leave? Do you know that everyone out there is looking for you?"

When it came to this, Tom didn't know what to do.

Now, Tom had to be on guard not only against Jack and Jason but also against Shen Wei. He didn't dare to conduct any business outside for fear of being discovered as soon as he showed his head.

Shen Wei took a sip of the wine beside the computer and laughed.

"So, what kind of medicine should we use? Now you're in my hands, and my friend knows about it. If anything happens to me..." Shen Wei didn't finish the rest of the sentence, but Tom knew what she meant.

If it weren't for this leverage, he wouldn't have been so cautious around Shen Wei.

Shen Wei looked at the empty bottle of wine she had just finished and was a bit dissatisfied. This was the best wine she had ever drunk. How could it be gone?

"Buy me another bottle of this wine. By the way, I heard that Chanel has released a new watch. With your connections, you should be able to get it, right?"

Even in such a situation, Shen Wei was still concerned about fashion trends. So, she wanted to get the newly released famous watch from last night.

Tom was naturally reluctant.

"That watch is so expensive, and you can't even go out now. What's the use of buying it?"

Tom himself had never bought such a thing for his mistresses, but Shen Wei pulled a long face.

"Aren't you rich people just fond of spending money? Hurry up and buy it for me, or be careful I'll expose your secrets."

Helplessly, Tom had no choice but to shut up and call his subordinates to buy the watch.

Just as he was about to finish the call, he heard Shen Wei say again.

"By the way, after buying the watch, remember to buy me that bag from the last season. I missed it back then."

These two items together cost a fortune.

Even if Tom was rich and a bit foolish, he couldn't stand this woman's extravagance. Moreover, Tom wasn't as wealthy as before.

Now, his company was in a difficult situation, and he had to fight against Jack and Jason. Wasn't this just courting death?

But Shen Wei, who was used to being extravagant, didn't care about any of this.

Soon, the bag and the watch were delivered to Shen Wei, but she was still not satisfied and kept asking for one thing after another.

With the leverage in her hands, Tom had no choice but to agree.

"Boss, what's going on with you lately? You've been buying all these women's stuff. Have you found your girlfriend?"

Tom's subordinate was also very confused. Tom had never shown any interest in buying things for women before. How could he suddenly start doing this?

Tom hadn't slept well for the past few days. Hearing his subordinate's words, he raised his eyes. He was also thinking about how to cover up his messy expenses.

However, his subordinate's words gave him an idea.

"The other day when we went to the bar, I took a fancy to a girl. Who would have thought she'd be so money - hungry." Tom sighed and pretended to be really chasing a girl.

After hearing this, his subordinate immediately agreed. Girls could be really extravagant when it came to spending money.

To make this lie more convincing, Tom really found a mistress. This mistress was quite obedient. Although she saw them buying a lot of things, as long as she could get a share, she wouldn't make a fuss.

"When will this kind of life end?"

The annoyed Tom looked at the bill in his credit card and wished he could just break the card.

But there was nothing he could do.

Shen Wei was still waiting there eagerly for him to send the money. If he didn't send the money, God knows what this crazy woman would do.

Meanwhile, in China, Ji Xiaoli also began to reflect on her actions during this period.

At first, Ji Xiaoli thought the good - luck points were very useful, but she had never bothered to accumulate them. After the incident with Wei Yanlan, Ji Xiaoli thought she should find a way to get more of these points.

"System, is there any way for me to get more good - luck points?"

Looking at the things she was about to buy, Ji Xiaoli sighed. She was probably the first person in the world to get numb from spending money.

The system didn't say anything, but Ji Xiaoli understood what it meant. She had to spend money honestly. So, Ji Xiaoli also started to buy things like crazy.

"Why did you suddenly think of buying this?"

Zheng Nanfeng, who was inexplicably dragged to the airport, was a bit dazed. Combining Ji Xiaoli's recent actions, he soon understood. Ji Xiaoli wanted to buy a plane.

Ji Xiaoli smiled.

A long time ago, Ji Xiaoli had a dream of flying. How wonderful it would be if she could soar in the sky on her own plane. It was just that her spending limit hadn't been high enough before. But now, in order to accumulate more good - luck points, Ji Xiaoli didn't care.

"Buy this plane for me. Then change all the exterior paint and put my logo on it." Ji Xiaoli said domineeringly after swiping her card.

This was a brand - new passenger plane for civil aviation this year. But Ji Xiaoli actually bought it directly as her private plane. This was a privilege only for some people of high status, but Ji Xiaoli didn't care.

"By the way, add your name too."

Just as she was about to sign, Ji Xiaoli thought this matter might need some more consideration. But Zheng Nanfeng couldn't stop Ji Xiaoli's speed of spending money.

He watched helplessly as the plane with their two names on it was signed for.

"What should I buy next..."

Walking out of the airline company, Ji Xiaoli murmured to herself.

Zheng Nanfeng was already a bit numb and just let Ji Xiaoli do as she pleased.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Jason noticed something was wrong.

"Have you noticed that Tom is being really nice to this woman? He never used to be like this before."

Tom's every move was quite familiar to Jason. Before, Tom had always been cold - hearted towards all the women he had kept. He would just send them a bag or something.

But now, this kept woman seemed ordinary and there was nothing special about her. But she spent money like water, even more extravagantly than Tom.

So, this kept mistress must be hiding something. Jack also agreed deeply after hearing this.
