Chen Hsing-yu, the daughter of former Taiwan President Chen Shui-bian, has reportedly begun publicly detailing her divorce from ex-husband Chao Chien-ming, sparking speculation about the timing of these revelations nearly a year after their separation.

According to media reports, the key to Chen's decision to speak out now is believed to be an education fund of approximately NT$23 million (around $715,000 USD) designated for their three sons. Chen is reportedly concerned that Chao may have misappropriated these funds and is worried about their recovery.

Chen recently left a one-star review on Google for Chao Chien-ming's clinic, where she aired significant grievances. Reports suggest that despite Chao owning a clinic valued at NT$60 million and possessing luxury cars like Ferraris, he has withdrawn the entire NT$23 million education fund gifted by Chen to their children. The whereabouts of these funds remain unclear.

Sources close to the situation indicate that Chao has recently begun dating a woman reportedly in her early twenties, and the couple is allegedly looking to purchase a new home together. This has intensified Chen's suspicions that Chao might be using the children's education fund to finance a new residence with his new girlfriend.

You should return the children's education fund to the three sons.
