The man, surnamed Chen, from Jiangxi province, eastern China, has filed for a divorce from his wife, surnamed Yu, after discovering she cheated on him during their marriage and that the couple’s three daughters were conceived with another man.

Chen worked away from home to support his family, but said he initially never suspected his wife of infidelity as they maintained close contact with frequent voice and video calls.

However, he became suspicious earlier this year when his wife started avoiding his calls and said she wanted to work away from home, China Jiangxi Radio and TV Station reported yesterday.
