It became evident that Mr. Lui was not on board with the woman’s test of generosity. Instead of graciously accepting the burden of the bill, he made an abrupt exit, leaving the woman to face the consequences alone. The bill, totaling a substantial 20,000 yuan (or, $3,100), was now solely her responsibility, a bitter outcome for her attempt at a test.
A Further Fight
However, Zhang did not just leave it there. The partner, jilted by how the blind date went, even went on to file a lawsuit against Mr. Liu. The court ruled that Mr. Liu should only pay 1400 yuan of the bill.
A Lesson Learned
The woman’s attempt to assess her date’s generosity was not only unsuccessful but also costly. She may have had noble intentions, but her method of testing Mr. Lui’s character backfired spectacularly. This cautionary tale serves as a reminder that honesty and communication are key in any relationship, rather than elaborate tests of character.
