Chen Hsing-ju Gifts NT$60 Million Clinic, Demands Ex-Husband Pay Mortgage: Netizens Slam 'Scumbag' Chao Chien-ming to 'Return the Money!' (Original headline: 陳幸妤贈6000萬診所「房貸自己扛」 網灌爆趙建銘臉書：渣男還錢)

Chen Hsing-ju, the former wife of Chao Chien-ming, has reignited controversy surrounding their divorce by publicly detailing her financial entanglement with a clinic she gifted him. In a scathing Google review of Chao's "Chao Fu Spine and Orthopedics Clinic," Chen revealed that the NT$60 million clinic, located in Tainan, was transferred to Chao as a spousal gift. However, she claims the substantial mortgage remained under her name, a decision she now deeply regrets, stating she "would want to kill herself" for making such a mistake.

“

I did not take any money, I do not have 60 million NT dollars to give as a gift.

Chen's public accusation, initially posted on the clinic's Google Maps review page and later reiterated, highlights a complex financial arrangement that has left her feeling exploited. She emphasized that she did not illicitly gain funds, as she did not possess NT$60 million to gift freely. Her warning to others about the implications of spousal property gifts in divorce, particularly regarding the inability to claim them as marital assets, underscores her personal distress and perceived injustice.

If you are a man, you should have some shame and conscience, and return 60 million NT dollars to Hsing-ju.

The fallout from Chen's revelations has been swift and intense. Netizens have flooded Chao's social media, particularly his Facebook page, with criticism. Many expressed sympathy for Chen, labeling Chao a "scumbag" and urging him to repay the NT$60 million. Some commenters questioned whether the loan was still being paid and suggested Chen stop payments, allowing the clinic to be foreclosed. The clinic's alleged deletion of negative Google reviews further fueled public anger, with many perceiving it as an admission of guilt or an attempt to conceal the truth.

The clinic was gifted by Hsing-ju? If you are a man, you should have some shame and conscience, and return 60 million NT dollars to Hsing-ju.

Adding a layer of complexity, property records and media reports present a nuanced picture. While Chen claims the loan was in her name, recent property records show the clinic is currently owned by Chao and carries no outstanding mortgage. Reports indicate that a loan was taken out by Chen when she purchased the clinic's premises and was transferred to Chao via spousal gift. This loan was reportedly paid off in July 2025. The exact details of who ultimately settled the debt remain unclear from public records, but the clinic's ownership and debt-free status under Chao are confirmed.

The store's mortgage is to be borne by the ex-wife, are you a man?
