A woman’s attempt to test her date’s generosity took an unexpected turn when her plan went awry.

In a bold and highly unorthodox move, she invited 23 family members to join her on a blind date, aiming to gauge her date’s willingness to provide and share.

Her date, Mr. Lui, initially intended to impress Miss Zhang with a treat at one of his favorite restaurants.

However, he was taken aback when he arrived to find not just Miss Zhang, but her entire extended family—23 members in total.

This overwhelming turnout quickly turned what was meant to be a simple dinner into an awkward and costly ordeal.

The scene unfolded in a restaurant in the eastern Chinese province of Zhejiang, as reported by the Taizhou Evening News.

Miss Zhang’s intentions were to test Mr. Lui’s generosity and willingness to take care of her family, but her method proved to be poorly conceived, especially for a first meeting.

As the evening progressed, Mr. Lui found himself unable to shoulder the burden of such a large gathering. Feeling cornered, he decided to leave abruptly, leaving Miss Zhang and her family to deal with the aftermath.

The bill for this extravagant dinner came to a whopping 20,000 yuan (approximately $3,100), which Miss Zhang was now responsible for.

The unexpected financial burden led her to file a lawsuit against Mr. Lui, seeking to recover some of the costs. The court eventually ruled that Mr. Lui should only pay 1,400 yuan of the bill, reflecting a fraction of the total amount.

This cautionary tale highlights the pitfalls of elaborate schemes in relationships.

While Miss Zhang’s attempt to test Mr. Lui’s character may have stemmed from genuine curiosity, it ultimately backfired, leaving her with a hefty bill and an awkward story.

The incident underscores the importance of honesty and straightforward communication in fostering meaningful connections, rather than resorting to dramatic tests of character.
