Friend Dies as a Result of Fighting over Bill
.
Summary:
It all started with four close friends ready to end their splendid night at a karaoke in China. When Li offered to pay the bill but denied by Chen and Zheng, she ranted and raved and things quickly escalated into an alcohol-fueled brawl, which Xu ended by slashing her own wrist as an emotional appeal. Suddenly receiving a call that Li was nowhere to be found while Xu was receiving treatment in hospital, Chen and Zheng set out to look for her and finally located in a park an extremely agitated Li, who ran from them and threw herself into the pool. Next time when your buddy offers to pay after a meal or an outing, you know what to do.
