MC Dee Hsu, Barbie Hsu’s younger sister, is reportedly facing two major shocks.

The Hsu family has become the focus of Chinese showbiz. According to QQ News, Barbie Hsu’s relatives are not only devastated by her sudden passing but are also dealing with another shocking revelation: businessman Mike Hsu, Dee Hsu’s husband, has taken advantage of the family’s grief to publicly acknowledge his illegitimate child with his mistress.

According to sources from Taiwanese entertainment circles, Mike Hsu always desired a son, but Dee Hsu only gave birth to three daughters. As a result, he frequently sought affairs in hopes of fathering a male heir. Several years ago, a model surnamed Jiang, whose English name is Ruby, reportedly gave birth to his son. Ruby, who is nearly 30 years old and from Zhejiang, China, now lives in a Shanghai villa owned by Mike Hsu with their son, who is around five or six years old.

After secretly supporting Ruby and their child for years behind Dee Hsu’s back, Mike Hsu is said to have now elevated his mistress and son’s status.

Taking advantage of Dee Hsu’s emotional collapse over her sister’s death, Mike Hsu transferred 0.5% of his company shares to Ruby and their illegitimate child. He also submitted an official school application for his son, registering him under his own name and introducing him to his paternal family. This revelation has reportedly left Dee Hsu in deep shock, crying uncontrollably.

Taiwanese media reports suggest that Mike Hsu chose this moment to reveal his mistress and illegitimate child because Dee Hsu has lost her strongest support—her sister. Additionally, her work has come to a halt due to the immense emotional and physical toll of her sister’s passing. Furthermore, Dee Hsu is unable to support their three daughters alone, as they are currently studying abroad.

Besides this scandal, Mike Hsu and his family have also been involved in handling Barbie Hsu’s funeral arrangements, as well as legal disputes over inheritance, child custody, and alimony with her ex-husband Wang Xiaofei. Reports indicate that Mike Hsu’s family covered more than half of the cost of Barbie Hsu’s private jet transport for her ashes. In her final years, the Summer’s Desire actress struggled financially after selling off her assets to help Wang Xiaofei repay his debts, only to be left with unpaid support payments amounting to 216 million NTD (approximately $7 million USD). Given her family’s dire situation, Mike Hsu believes Dee Hsu will not dare to leave or divorce him at this time.

Mike Hsu’s Calculated Move: Seizing the Opportunity Amid Family Crisis

Amid allegations that he is exploiting Barbie Hsu’s death to legitimize his mistress and illegitimate son, neither Barbie Hsu’s family nor Mike Hsu and Dee Hsu have issued any official response.

Dee Hsu married Mike Hsu in 2005. He is a wealthy businessman in the stock market and food industry, with an elite family background in Taiwan. His father and brother are doctors, while his mother is a lawyer. According to China Times, their marriage was initially disapproved by his family, as Mike Hsu had been arranged to marry a well-educated woman. However, since Dee Hsu became pregnant, he was forced to break off his engagement and marry the TV host instead.

A Troubled Marriage: Infidelity, Domestic Abuse, and Disrespect from In-Laws

Since their marriage, Dee Hsu’s relationship with Mike Hsu has reportedly been far from happy. Much like her former brother-in-law Wang Xiaofei, Mike Hsu is known for his infidelity and has also been accused of domestic abuse. Dee Hsu was never welcomed by her in-laws, and her inability to bear a son further worsened her standing in the family. The Hsu family allegedly looked down on her for only giving birth to daughters.

Due to immense pressure to produce a male heir, Mike Hsu turned to extramarital affairs. Feeling ashamed for not bearing a son, Dee Hsu reportedly endured her husband’s infidelity in silence. Wang Xiaofei previously revealed that Mike Hsu would frequent bars to pick up young women and even used an apartment in Shanghai—purchased by Barbie Hsu—to house his mistresses. Singer Mika, a member of Blackie’s Teenager Club, once shocked the public by revealing that Mike Hsu had generously given her over 10,000 RMB (approximately $1,400 USD) to support her career in mainland China.

Despite her husband’s affairs and abusive behavior, Dee Hsu continued to tolerate and even publicly defended him multiple times. According to ETtoday, she chose to stay in her troubled marriage not for herself but for the sake of her three daughters, wanting them to grow up in a complete family.
