The man, surnamed Xie, owned a food company and met his wife, surnamed He, during their undergraduate years. The couple were officially together after graduation, eventually married, and had a daughter.
However, as Xie’s career flourished, he became arrogant and frequently quarrelled with his wife over trivial matters, leading to their divorce.
Xie was granted custody of their daughter and hired a nanny, surnamed Li, to manage the household. Li handled everything with meticulous care.
However, Xie always thought of reconciling with his ex-wife, but he was “too proud” to propose a reunion, worrying that it would diminish his “family status” and undermine his authority in the household.
Then he devised a plan which involved pursuing Li, in the hope of igniting jealousy in his ex-wife.
