When a woman’s plan to test her date’s generosity went astray, the outcome was unexpected. She made the unusual decision to bring 23 family members on their blind date to gauge her partner’s willingness to share. However, what happened next was far from what she anticipated.
The woman’s plan, bold as it was, turned out to be poorly conceived. Mr. Lui, her date, had generously offered to take her and her family to one of his favorite restaurants in an attempt to win over Miss Zhang. He was stunned to find not only her but her entire 23-person extended family at the restaurant. Naturally, Mr. Lui objected to paying for such a large gathering, which led to an awkward situation.
According to the local newspaper Taizhou Evening News, this embarrassing incident occurred in a restaurant in Zhejiang province, eastern China. Though her motives were to test Mr. Lui’s willingness to support her family, the execution of her plan was far from flawless, especially considering it was a blind date.
During the meal, it became clear that Mr. Lui disagreed with the woman’s measure of generosity. Instead of graciously footing the bill, he left without saying goodbye, leaving the woman to handle the aftermath. The bill, amounting to 20,000 yuan (about $3,100), became her sole responsibility.
Feeling betrayed by how the blind date transpired, Miss Zhang did not stop there. She went on to sue Mr. Lui. The court ruled that Mr. Lui should only pay 1,400 yuan of the total amount.
In retrospect, the woman’s attempt to test her date’s generosity turned out to be both costly and ineffective. Despite her good intentions, her strategy for evaluating Mr. Lui’s character backfired miserably. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that communication and honesty, rather than elaborate tests, are essential in any relationship.
