Chapter 18 A Roller Coaster Of A Plot Twist
After hearing this, Brother Xu wanted nothing more than to grab his younger brother and slap him dozens of times.
What the hell!
Brother Xu usually spent every penny as a dollar.
He even hesitated an entire night about tipping Chen Yu a carnival gift.
Great, just great.
His younger brother conspired with his parents to refinance all his houses.
Not only did Brother Xu not get to see a single coin from that loan, but he also had to take out a large sum of money to repay his younger brother’s debt.
“This method can avoid the tragedy of a broken family, but…”
“Are you sure you want to continue listening?” Chen Yu asked after pausing for a moment.
“Shocking! A psychologist said such things to a patient!”
“I’m the editor-in-chief of CU News. Come to the editorial department tomorrow for an interview.”
“Dr. Chen is going on a roll again.”
“It’s best to go to the toilet before watching his livestream, or you’ll regret missing something.”
“Dr.Chen, please continue.”
Brother Xu steeled his heart and chose to continue listening.
“If you give up on suing your brother, he and your parents will live. However, they will still eventually leave you in a few years.”
“You took out four million yuan in savings to repay the bank loan, and you were constantly worried they would continue taking your money. Thus, you stared at them like they were thieves every single day.”
“A few years later, your parents and brother couldn’t take it anymore and chose to leave for another city without saying goodbye.”
When Chen Yu explained the ending to his second option, Brother Xu’s entire body was petrified.
If he sued his younger brother, his family would be broken.
If he gave up on the lawsuit, he would still end up a loner in a few years after repaying the debt on behalf of his younger brother.
“Brother Xu is very pitiful, but I just want to laugh.”
“It’s a two-way dead end, RIP.”
“This is an unsolvable problem.”
Those who had watched yesterday’s livestream all remembered Cherry’s miserable choices.
Chen Yu gave him two choices, and both were flawed.
Brother Xu no longer wanted to teach his younger brother a lesson and just wanted to protect his family.
However, the first and second choices were the same, as he would eventually lose his family.
There was no way out.
Brother Xu felt he was suffering from morbid control disorder, mania, and depression.
Nay, extreme depression.
“Dr. Chen, is there no third way?”
Left with no other choice, Brother Xu once again sought help from Chen Yu.
“There is.”
Instantly, Brother Xu was overjoyed.
He had asked without expecting a response but was surprised by Chen Yu’s reply.
“The third method is divided into two steps,” Chen Yu said.
“First, take out four million yuan to repay the bank and get back your properties.”
“After that, give your remaining one million to your brother to start his business.”
“What? Giving him more for his business? Isn’t this a waste of money?”
Brother Xu shook his head rapidly.
He had hoped Chen Yu’s third method would be the lifeline he needed, but he was still disappointed.
“Listen to me before you decide whether to agree or not.”
Chen Yu gestured for Brother Xu to calm down.
He started to ask him some questions.
“Who suggested you start livestreaming?”
“My younger brother,”
Brother Xu answered truthfully.
“Alright.” Chen Yu nodded and continued, “Who told you to focus your streams on tips for saving money?”
“Also, my younger brother.”
“These two points prove that your brother has a keen business eye and is not as dumb as you think.”
Next, Chen Yu talked about the other side of Brother Xu’s younger brother.
“Although you two are brothers and look alike, your personalities are miles apart.”
“You think that money should be saved, but your brother disagrees. He believes that money should be earned.”
Hearing Chen Yu’s words, Brother Xu admitted that he was right.
His younger brother had said the same thing.
They had quarreled several times because of this.
Brother Xu thought running a profitable business was as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
If they weren’t careful, they would lose everything.
It was safer just to save their money.
He started livestreaming because his younger brother said that the cost of doing so was low.
It would be fine if he had a computer and a phone.
“You think you’re right, which is that saving money is the way to go.”
“Little did you know that this is a manifestation of your mental illnesses.”
Brother Xu’s morbid self-control disorder manifested harshly in himself, and he was equally strict with his family.
No one was allowed to do anything that Brother Xu did not agree to in his family.
“Not long ago, your brother found an excellent business opportunity and boldly suggested borrowing money from you.”
“As you’ve said, you gave him a good scolding.”
“After this opportunity passed, your brother didn’t give up. He soon found a new business opportunity.”
“Because he lacked the funds, he had no choice but to borrow money from your parents.”
“Unfortunately, their retirement funds weren’t enough to support this business.”
“Thus, the two elders remembered the property ownership certificate you left in their hands.”
“After some consideration, they decided to use a shady method to refinance the property ownership certificate in exchange for funds to help their second son with his business.”
“By the time your brother got the money, the business opportunity was already gone.”
Brother Xu could not help but interject, “My brother is not…”
“What if I told you that he would get ten times the return if he seized either of these two business opportunities?”
“Are you still going to say he’s not cut out for business?”
“Tenfold return?”
Brother Xu was dumbfounded.
“Are you lying to me?”
“We’ve been chatting for this long. Have I ever lied?”
Chen Yu asked.
Brother Xu pondered carefully and found that Chen Yu’s words were always truthful.
“Unfortunately, good business opportunities are like shooting stars. The past is the past and can never come back.”
Chen Yu softened his tone with a hint of regret in his voice.
“With the few million yuan he got from the refinancing, your brother began to look for new business opportunities.”
“However, this money is his venture capital, and it is a burden heavier than Mount Tai.”
“He’s always worried that you’ll find out about the house refinancing.”
“Very soon, your brother had developed anxiety.”
“He had lost his wise and calm business sense, was too eager to succeed, and got deceived.”
“So, he lost all his funds in one go.”
Chen Yu finished explaining Brother Xu’s younger brother’s unknown mental journey.
He then talked about why Brother Xu should support his younger brother in his business.
With the experience he had built and the full support of his brother, he would soon be back on his feet.
Not only would he become a renowned entrepreneur in the future, but he would also repay Brother Xu ten times over.
“How much can he repay me?” asked Brother Xu.
Chen Yu raised three fingers.
“30 million?”
Brother Xu was stunned.
“No, 300 million.”
The livestream was in an uproar.
If someone else claimed they could invest 1 million and make 300 million, it would be dismissed as a pipe dream.
However, these words came from Chen Yu’s mouth.
Thus, the credibility of this claim was 99%.
The remaining 1% of disbelief came from the new viewers who had just entered the livestream.
This plot twist turned as fast as a roller coaster, not stopping at just one turn.
What kind of family could have raised two absolute dragons?
One was an expert at bootstrapping, while the other was a business genius.
