A blind date in China took an unexpected turn when one woman brought her entire family along to dinner. Miss Zhang of Zhejiang province wanted to test Mr. Lui’s generosity, so she invited 23 relatives to join what he thought would be an intimate meal. The plan quickly unraveled as the bill ballooned to an astonishing 20,000 yuan ($3,100).
Mr. Lui, who had anticipated a quiet dinner for two, found himself surrounded by strangers at an expensive restaurant. When presented with the massive bill, he chose to leave rather than pay for the unexpected crowd. The situation grew more complicated when Zhang filed a lawsuit, claiming her date should share the financial responsibility. The court saw things differently, ordering Mr. Lui to pay only a small fraction of the total.
This extreme approach to evaluating a potential partner has raised eyebrows across social media. Relationship experts caution against such high-pressure tests, suggesting that open communication and reasonable expectations create healthier foundations for new relationships than elaborate financial traps.
