And he would have gotten away with it too, if it wasn't for that pesky car accident.
A man in China had an unfortunate car accident recently; unfortunate in more ways than one as it not only meant that he ended up in the hospital, but that his 17 different girlfriends all found out about one another.
As it turns out, the man who is only known as Mr. Yuan for the moment has been seeing several of the women for a number of years, and had even managed to get a few of them to give him money on a regular basis.
According to The South China Morning Post, one woman named Xiao Li said that "I was really worried when I heard that he was in hospital, but when I started seeing more and more beautiful girls show up, I couldn't cry any more."
Mr. Yuan is unlikely to get much sympathy, however, as the paper discovered that one woman that he had been seeing had been giving him money for nearly nine years. He also had a child with another woman, while another of his many girlfriends had begun to plan their wedding, believing that he was "Mr. Right". One of the women also claims that she was actually married to him for the last seven years.
The police are investigating Mr. Yuan for fraud as a result of his actions, although they have stated that it is too early to say whether or not the women were involved in a scam run by him. Mr Yuan has not yet sufficiently recovered from his injuries to be questioned by police.
