When a man from China’s Hunan province got into a car accident last month, he never knew it would be the beginning of even bigger problems in his life. Hospital staff contacted his loved ones after he was rushed in and shockingly seventeen women turned up at the hospital, claiming to be his girlfriends. The man, whose last name is Yuan, had been seeing all of them secretly, swindling them of large sums in the process.
According to telegraph.co.uk, most of the women are from Hunan province and the oldest is 40 while the youngest, a student, is 21. Yuan was married to one of them but had a child with another. When they came to know the truth, all 17 of them were left in total shock.
“I was really worried when I heard that he was in the hospital,” said Xiao Li, Yuan’s girlfriend of 18 months. “But when I started seeing more and more beautiful girls show up, I couldn’t cry anymore.”
The women’s claims led to a full-fledged police investigation, open a can of worms on the deceptive life of Yuan. The man milked his wife of about $40,000 before divorcing her. He then proceeded to meeting several other women, fleecing them of thousands of yuan in the process. Apart from the 17 women he was seeing in real life, his WeChat account revealed that he had over 200 female targets online.
Once these incriminating details were out in the open, Yuan actually had to leave the hospital early with a police escort to protect him from his scorned girlfriends. With no job or relationship, the man has returned to his hometown to start a new life. He would soon be charged for criminal offence and fraud by the police in China.
