Shocking Love Scandal: Woman's Internet Romance Ends with a Vanishing Act on Wedding Day!

(On 30th, Nov 2023, Shanghai) a jaw-dropping twist straight out of a romance thriller, Shanghai's Ms. Yang has been left holding the baby—quite literally—after her boyfriend of two years vanished into thin air on the day they were supposed to make their love official. And as if the plot couldn't thicken anymore, the man's mother excused his actions, saying "He's still a child."

The saga began innocently enough when Ms. Yang, a postgraduate employee of a state-owned enterprise, met Mr. Wang online back in 2016. Mr. Wang, who claimed to be a single child of a civil servant mother and a businessman father, had allegedly moved from his hometown of Zhangjiang to Shanghai to escape the strict control of his family and to explore new horizons.

After two years of e-romance, Ms. Yang found herself pregnant. Mr. Wang, surprisingly, was adamant they keep the child and plan a wedding feast. However, on the day they had agreed to register their marriage, Ms. Yang waited outside the civil affairs office the entire afternoon with no sign of her betrothed. Mr. Wang's subsequent excuses ranged from having his phone stolen on the subway to being detained due to a traffic accident.

The drama took a bizarre turn when Ms. Yang, after giving birth to their daughter, discovered the "mother-in-law" she had met multiple times was actually an imposter hired by Mr. Wang, paid between 400 to 800 yuan per appearance.

Mr. Wang's web of lies eventually unraveled:

He was not single but previously married with a son.

His parents were ordinary farmers, not the professionals he claimed.

He was not an only child; he had two sisters, one a civil servant and the other a real estate executive.

During their relationship, Mr. Wang had borrowed a total of 580,000 yuan from Ms. Yang using various pretexts. After his deceit was exposed, Mr. Wang issued an IOU but failed to repay the debt and disappeared. Ms. Yang and her family's attempts to find him in Zhangjiagang were futile, leading her to sue him and win the case.

By early 2023, Mr. Wang resurfaced at the courthouse with debts amounting to approximately 750,000 yuan, including principal, interest, and various fees. He promised to repay the money within three months, either through his salary or by selling his only property, an affordable housing unit. But three months passed with no progress, and Mr. Wang evaded the enforcement judge's calls, claiming he was too busy at work to appear.

In a dramatic showdown, the judge headed to husband's hometown only to be met by Mr. Wang's desperate parents. His elderly mother protested, "No auctioning of the house! He's just a child who doesn't know any better."

The turning point came when Mr. Wang's sisters stepped in to settle the debt, agreeing to pay 600,000 yuan to appease both the court and Ms. Yang. They expressed their frustration, having already paid off their brother's debts over the years, and reluctantly agreed to help, considering their aging parents' distress.

The day after returning to Shanghai from Zhangjiagang, the judge summoned Ms. Yang to court to sign the agreement. Two weeks later, the agreed sum was deposited into the court's account, and Ms. Yang received her due repayment without delay.

This sordid tale of love, lies, and a last-minute sibling rescue has left netizens buzzing with opinions, sympathy for Ms. Yang, and a critical eye on the man who not only fled his responsibilities but left a trail of deceit that shattered a family.
