Style icon, Hilary Tsui (徐濠縈), does not take cheap vacations. Hilary may have just drained husband, Eason Chan’s (陳奕迅) pockets of $500,000 HKD after returning from her Tokyo trip. After Hilary became embroiled in a purported drug scandal at Kenny Wee’s (黃浩) restaurant, she jetted to Tokyo and left the world wondering if her marriage with Eason Chan had collapsed. When the going gets tough, Hilary goes shopping. When Kenny Wee declared that he had a video clip of celebrities taking drugs at his restaurant last year, rumors surfaced that Hilary Tsui, Josie Ho (何超儀), and Grace Ip (葉佩雯) were at the psychedelic gathering. Despite their reputations being smeared, Hilary, Eason, and their friends refused to comment on the drug scandal for two weeks, leaving the public to think the worst. Hilary vented her anger by mocking Kenny on Instagram; most netizens immediately interpreted her action as confirmation of her involvement in the drug scandal. Rumors surfaced that Eason was extremely upset at Hilary and yelled at her using profanity, claims which Eason subsequently denied in a press conference held on December 7. Shopping is the Best Therapy Eason was reportedly not amused by Hilary’s childish behavior and begged her to stop embarrassing herself. Hilary decided to pack her bags and fly to Japan. In less than a week on her Tokyo trip, Hilary reportedly ended up spending $500,000 HKD. When Hilary returned back to Hong Kong on December 2, she was spotted with plenty of luggage in tow. Asked why Eason did not go to Japan with her, Hilary ignored the reporters until she was provoked by them photographing her. “Enough is enough! I have no makeup on, how many photos are you going to take? I will not answer any questions!” Hilary told reporters. Eason Does Not Mind Hilary’s Exorbitant Shopping Hilary has often been a gossip magnet, while Eason remains tolerant and supportive of his wife. Asked about Hilary’s extravagant shopping habits, Eason said that her spending sprees did not mean much to him. “You’ve got to spend, so you can earn, and vice versa.” Eason even said proudly that Hilary purchases second-hand clothing to save a few pennies once in a while. Asked about rumors that Eason’s mother was not too fond of Hilary, causing their marriage to almost collapse, Eason flatly denied the rumors. He said there were no problems between Hilary and himself and asked why the rumor mongers were so evil to bad mouth the couple. At his press conference on December 7, Eason dismissed Hilary’s drug rumors and the couple’s marital rife rumors, “Although it’s sappy, I still want to say that we are very loving towards each other. The rumors are all false.”
