Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Biased Parents
Brother Xu, who had returned to his senses, did not know how to describe his feelings at that moment.
The staff at the Department of Housing had given him a clear answer.
The four houses under his name were all collateral for a loan.
The loan procedures were complete, and the intermediate steps were in accordance with the regulations.
This shocked Brother Xu so much that he cried out.
What did it mean that it complied with the rules?
He, the real owner of the houses, did not know anything.
“Your parents took the property ownership certificate you left in their hands and made all four houses collateral for the bank.”
“As for the loan, they gave it all to your brother.”
Boom!
Brother Xu’s brain was about to explode from the news.
He had tried his utmost to save money for this family.
He had finally saved enough money—a few million yuan—and even bought four houses.
Now, his parents stabbed him mercilessly in the back right when he could live a good life.
“What kind of parents are these? Are you sure your parents didn’t come as gifts to a repayment plan?”
“I’ve only heard of ruthless stepparents, but this is the first time I’ve heard biological parents scam their son this badly.”
“After all, the family’s youngest son is the apple of any old couple’s eye.”
“Bullshit! This is clearly his parents being biased.”
“I’ve heard of parents being biased toward the younger sibling, but never this badly.”
The viewers were all pissed, and they all stood by Brother Xu’s side.
They collectively denounced Brother Xu’s parents for being this heartless.
“Dear patient, how do you feel now?”
“Anger, grievance, and sadness.”
Brother Xu looked bitter as he replied.
“Do you still think you don’t have a mental illness?”
Chen Yu asked with a smile.
Brother Xu was about to nod, but then he shook his head.
“Don’t you want to know how your parents bypassed you and put your house up as collateral?” Chen Yu asked, smiling.
“I want to know!”
Brother Xu did not hesitate as he replied.
Not only did Brother Xu want to know, but the netizens were also puzzled.
Getting pissed was one thing, but how did Brother Xu’s parents do this without his consent?
How did they go through the proper procedures to refinance his properties?
“Show your brother’s photo to everyone, and that will give you an answer.”
Hearing this, Brother Xu immediately found a family photo and pointed at a young man in his twenties.
“Oh, I see.”
“I understand now.”
“We all understand now.”
The netizens were all enlightened after looking at Brother Xu’s younger brother’s appearance.
Brother Xu and his brother were not twins, but their looks were at least 80% similar.
It would be indistinguishable if his younger brother adjusted his hairstyle a little more.
“Did my brother impersonate me and apply for a mortgage with my parents?”
Brother Xu’s heart was burned to ashes, but his mind was still clear.
“The two of you are no different from twins. It’s already difficult for your neighbors to tell you apart, let alone the bank staff.”
Pausing momentarily, Chen Yu continued, “You’re planning to look for your younger brother and get your house back, right?”
Brother Xu’s face was ashen as he gritted his teeth. “Yes, Dr. Chen. I want to get my properties back!”
It had been three years since his younger brother graduated from university, but he couldn’t even find a proper job.
He had unrealistic daydreams every day.
If Brother Xu didn’t get the money from his loan back soon, his younger brother would squander it all.
Chen Yu crossed his arms and shrugged his shoulders, saying, “There’s no need to do that. He has already spent the loan, all of it.”
“All of it?”
Brother Xu felt the blood rush to his brain, and his eyes were blood-red.
“But that’s four houses as collateral for a bank loan. How could a loan worth two to three million yuan finish this quickly? Brother Xu’s younger brother is amazing.”
“I suddenly feel it’s quite good not to have any siblings.”
“Brother Xu is too pitiful. He has worked hard for over ten years and is now back to square one.”
“In his previous life, how many sins did Brother Xu commit for being born to such parents and a younger brother?”
“Look, Brother Xu’s eyes have gone red. He really seems to have a manic disorder.”
“Brother Xu, calm down. Don’t do anything stupid.”
“You can still earn more money if you lose it. Don’t throw yourself into the deep end.”
Teasing was one thing, but the netizens were really worried that Brother Xu would do something stupid.
They all comforted Brother Xu to calm down while looking up the specific symptoms of mania.
The more they investigated, the more shocked they became.
Mania was the most aggressive type of mental illness among all mental illnesses.
Once stimulated, it would act up, and the patient would do terrifying things without considering the consequences.
“Did he take the money to gamble?”
“Your brother didn’t gamble. The money is spent on his business.”
“Slap!”
As Chen Yu’s voice fell, Brother Xu angrily slammed the table and stood up.
“That bastard!”
“A few months ago, I scolded him when he wanted to borrow money from me to start a business.”
“It must be because I didn’t lend him any money that they messed with my properties.”
“Are Mom and Dad that muddle-headed? Why would they agree to cooperate with him to refinance the house?”
The topic returned to Brother Xu’s parents.
The netizens lamented that Brother Xu’s parents were muddleheaded, possibly due to their old age.
Their youngest son wanted to start a business, so the two cooperated with him and refinanced Brother Xu’s house without saying a word.
It’s one thing for his parents to be blind, but his younger brother was even worse.
It was no wonder Brother Xu’s eyes got bloodshot as he cursed out loud in anger.
They would have gone to the kitchen to get a knife if they faced such a situation.
Even if it didn’t kill him, the bastard must at least get into the hospital.
“You still have a chance to get your properties back,” Chen Yu said. “Are you willing to believe that?”
“Yes, yes.”
“If I can really get my properties back, Dr. Chen, you’ll be a god who saves me from hardship. I’ll even set up a memorial for you.”
After hearing that there was a chance to get back his properties, Brother Xu acted like a drowning person who had found a life-saving straw.
“Please calm down. God or memorials are all products of feudal superstition.”
“I will point you to a way based on science.”
Chen Yu solemnly reiterated the word “science”.
“It’s easy to get your properties back. Just go to court and sue your brother.”
Hearing this idea, the netizens cheered.
It was illegal for Brother Xu’s younger brother to apply for a loan on his behalf.
Identity theft was illegal, so the loan would naturally be voided.
As for the bank loan, Brother Xu’s younger brother would be responsible for the repayment.
Unlike the excited viewers, Brother Xu hesitated.
After all, that person was his biological brother.
Would his parents be able to take it mentally if he took his brother to court?
Moreover, it was a few million yuan, and he knew his younger brother could not repay it in his lifetime.
“If I go to court to sue my brother, what… what would happen to him after that?”
Brother Xu nervously looked at Chen Yu on the other side of the screen.
“Your younger brother will not be able to repay his debt. Two months later, he chose to commit suicide by jumping into a river.”
Chen Yu spoke slowly.
“Your parents will fall ill and pass away.”
“Isn’t this breaking my family apart?”
After hearing that, Brother Xu’s heart was about to jump out of his chest.
“It’s true your family will be destroyed, but your properties will be saved.”
Chen Yu’s expression was profound as he looked at Brother Xu playfully.
“Other than going to court, is there any other way to keep the house?”
Brother Xu asked again.
“Yes.”
“Use your savings to repay your brother’s bank loan,” Chen Yu said concisely.
