Tell your parents he's not some little 2 year old kid, he's a 20 year grown man and it's not your problem if he decides to act like a fool. Tell them he's capable of making his own decisions and if he has to learn the hard way, then so be it. And tell them by worrying about his business, it's gonna make them old, gray, and wrinkly.
 
2 weeks ago, my parent were worried about my 20s years old brother spend all his money on his older GFand her son and asked me to talk to him. I went to his city, 1 hours drive. I wanted to take him to lunch, eating ice cream, or placewhere we can chit-chat. But refused to do all those. He just left me at our aunt's house which is not far from his GF apartment. He did not want to talk much to me. I don't want get into his business either.

Today, I called my parents and they asked whether I gave advice to my little brother. I told them, I did not talk much to him. I think he is an adult and if I am talking too much, this will distance us even more. My parents acted like I don't care about my brother. I asked them why don't you talk to my brother. why do you ask me to talk about his money. This can give him and everyone a bad impression about me etc. I know I hurt my parent's feelings, but seriously I don't want to get into my brother's spending habbit. I don't care if he gives all his money to his GF and her son and will not have money. It's his life, I cannot control him. I hope my parent understand that and not again force me to talk to him.

Well, I feel guilt to act a little upset over this matter to my parents. I know I hurt their feelings and would think I am a bad sister and will never take care of my siblings.
 
your brother knows why you're there to talk to him so in order to not fight with you he would rather not talk to you so leave him be and things will work themselves out
