In a bold and unconventional move, a woman in eastern China decided to bring 23 family members to her blind date to gauge her date’s willingness to share and provide for her loved ones. However, her plan took an unexpected turn, leading to an uncomfortable and costly outcome.
Mr. Lui, the unsuspecting date, had offered to treat Miss Zhang to a meal at one of his favorite restaurants.
But when confronted with her entire extended family, he was taken aback and refused to foot the bill for the large gathering. The woman’s scheme backfired, leaving her responsible for the substantial bill of 20,000 yuan ($3,100).
The incident, reported by Taizhou Evening News, highlights the importance of honesty and communication in relationships. While Miss Zhang’s intentions may have been noble, her method of testing Mr. Lui’s character was ill-conceived and ultimately led to a legal dispute. The court ruled that Mr. Lui was only responsible for a fraction of the bill, 1,400 yuan.
This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that relationships are built on trust, understanding, and open communication, not elaborate tests of character. The woman’s attempt to assess her date’s generosity may have been well-intentioned, but it ended up being a costly and embarrassing mistake.
