Chapter 230: Chapter 230 Snatched the Person, Betrayed the Heart_1

Wu Sihua did not respond to you, but instead picked up the brewed tea and poured you a small cup, saying with a gentle smile, "Here, try Uncle’s handiwork."

If it were any other promising young man, having the distinguished clan leader of the Wu Family serve him tea would probably make him nervously grateful, overwhelmed with joy.

But to you, all this was merely a formality. Wu Sihua could’ve called earlier or later, yet he chose this moment to pull you from school. Without a doubt, the following conversation was sure to involve his daughter, Wu Qiyi.

From the information you gathered from Zong Wangyue, Wu Qiyi’s relationship with her father was strained, and she seldom interacted with relatives from the Wu Family. Now, the only one she was in touch and spent time with was her cousin, Lin Panxia.

Could it be that this attractive older man intended to use your connection to improve their strained father-daughter relationship?

You thought it over and felt that wasn’t quite right; Wu Sihua’s attitude towards you was too casual, laced with the concern of a relative. It was as if a father-in-law was sharing a drink with his future son-in-law.

What?

Father-in-law?

No way.

This thought flashed through your mind, and you picked up the small tea cup and poured it into your mouth without much interest in savoring it. Then you addressed Wu Sihua, "Uncle Wu, you’re a very busy and important man. Calling me, a nobody, in such a hurried manner couldn’t just be for tea, could it?"

Wu Sihua smiled and poured you another cup of tea.

Alright, no matter what, the handsome older man was still your elder. Besides, even if it were alcohol instead of tea he was pouring, you would have to drink it too.

You stayed silent, picked up the tea cup, and poured it into your mouth.

Wu Sihua remained wordless and poured you a third cup.

There is a saying, "Do not repeat an action more than three times." You drank the third cup, but you were certain you wouldn’t drink a fourth.

With that thought, after you had drunk the three cups of tea served by Wu Sihua, he saw that you had finished all three and slowly put down the tea pitcher, softly laughing and saying, "The three cups of tea ceremony is complete. Now, you are half a part of the Wu Family."

"What the heck?!"

You knew there was a catch, but you didn’t expect those three cups of tea to be the key!

"Don’t be agitated; it’s nothing but an old custom, just a formality for you young people. You shouldn’t take it to heart."

You immediately rolled your eyes, "If it’s just a formality, you didn’t have to scare me, right?"

Wu Sihua softly chuckled and said, "Your demeanor right now is so much like your father when he was young."

"Huh?"

You were the last person who expected such words from Wu Sihua. No matter what, he’s from an aristocratic family; how could he have anything to do with your Dead Demon Dad?

You promptly asked, "Uncle Wu, from the way you’re talking, it sounds like you were quite familiar with my dad?"

"Us? Well, how should I put this, I guess we were romantic rivals."

"What?"

You were startled again by Wu Sihua’s words. What was going on here?

"You, how did you become romantic rivals again?"

For some reason, talking to Wu Sihua always made you nervous. This handsome old guy was really something!

Wu Sihua smiled faintly and waved at Master Qin standing behind him. Master Qin gracefully rose, bowed to you all, and then turned to leave.

Wu Sihua poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, and chuckled, "Speaking of which, that was the greatest victory of my life. Back in the day, your dad, your mom, and Little Yun’s mother were all high school classmates. At that time, Little Yun’s mother, just like the current Little Yun, was the recognized goddess of the school, with a sea of admirers. Back then, your dad and I were two of her many suitors."

"And my mom?" you couldn’t help but ask.

Speaking of your mother, a nostalgic look couldn’t help but surface on Wu Sihua’s handsome face: "Your mom was Little Yun’s mother’s good friend, a bestie in today’s terms. Although your mom was also quite attractive, she always had a thing for some mystic nonsense, and well, her temper, heh..."

Indeed, your old lady’s temper, tsk tsk tsk...

"Ah-Choo!"

At that very moment, your mother, who was seriously sitting in the main hall of Chenghuang Temple reading a young couple’s fortunes, sneezed. Wiping her nose with a tissue, she muttered, "Definitely some jerk back-mouthing me."

"I see, so you and my dad were classmates back in the day."

"Right, the kind of good friends who could squat by the roadside and share a popsicle," Wu Sihua added.

"Then you and my dad both fell for Little Yun’s mother, and in the end, you won her affection, capturing the beauty’s heart, while my dad picked up the slack, marrying my bad-tempered old mom into the family?"

You suddenly felt their story could make up a novel of over a hundred thousand words on youthful romance.

Wu Sihua apparently didn’t intend to hide anything and his smile turned somewhat sheepish, "Actually, as I found out later, back in those days Little Yun’s mother and your mom both liked your dad."

Oh? There were emotional side plots too?

Looks like another twenty thousand words needed to be added.

"That’s pretty impressive of you, to have snatched love from my Dead Demon Dad’s hands."

But the result was, Wu Sihua shook his head and sighed, "Actually, it was all your mother’s behind-the-scenes manipulation. She fooled all three of us. In the end, I used some underhanded tactics to have my first time with Little Yun’s mother, while your mom also got together with your dad in a similar manner..."

Uh, that would probably add quite a few more tens of thousands of words, and there had to be some racy scenes involved.

Ah, what a load of interesting old stories heard today.

"Then after that, there was you and Little Yun." Speaking of that, Wu Sihua couldn’t help but let out a soft sigh, saying, "Little Yun’s mother was always sickly. After giving birth to Little Yun, she was bedridden. Our family was going through a tumultuous period at that time. Focused on securing my footing within the family, I neglected her care, causing her to leave this world when Little Yun was only three years old..."

Just as Wangyue had said, after his wife passed away, Wu Sihua never remarried even though he always had a beauty by his side, never giving her any official status. Wu Sihua’s private life was very clean, so clean that it could put all the men in high society to shame, he could be described as self-disciplined.

You also sighed softly and said, "Uncle, it’s all in the past now. I think auntie wouldn’t blame you."

Wu Sihua let out a bitter laugh and sighed, "I don’t seek her forgiveness, because from the very beginning I was wrong. I had her person, but I lost her heart. In her final moment, I promised her one thing."

"What was it?"

You noticed that Wu Sihua’s gaze shifted from outside the window to you, suddenly giving you an uneasy feeling.
