  "account": "In Hong Kong, a 20-year friendship between two women was shattered when the 70-year-old woman, Ah Li, married her friend's ex-boyfriend, the 83-year-old Quan. This dramatic turn of events led to a serious dispute, culminating in Ah Li obtaining a restraining order against Ah Zhen. The conflict began when Ah Zhen confronted Ah Li, revealing that Quan had cheated on Ah Li with her. Quan admitted to sleeping with Ah Zhen, leading Ah Li to end the relationship. The feud persisted for three years, with Ah Zhen allegedly harassing Ah Li by breaking her display cabinet and phones. Ah Zhen claimed that Ah Li sought Quan after their marriage, while Ah Li insisted she had no part in Quan's pursuit of her friend. Ah Zhen insisted Quan chose her due to her youth and figure, while Ah Li maintained her innocence. Quan, when asked, claimed he was merely providing company for both women, but acknowledged Quan's cheating and Ah Zhen's anger management issues. Despite the resolution, Ah Li expressed concern for Quan and warned her to keep Ah Zhen in check, threatening to report her to the police if the harassment continued.",
