2004: A Branch of the Family Tree

A Branch of the Family Tree

"This family is so terrible! They're all just like Wu Zongxu!" Wu Pingting could not help but complain on Sze Lingyun's behalf. After that, however, she was overtaken by ecstasy at the news and hugged Sze Lingyun.1

"But what can I do about it? Ah, I can't even get angry right now! I'm so happy! Sister Sze... Oh, no, it's just Sis now! I'm so happy you're now really, truly a member of our Wu family! You know, the first time I saw you, I felt this warmth coming off of you that I couldn't explain. It felt so odd. I think my grandfather felt the same way too, which is why he wanted you to become his goddaughter. Is this the magic of blood-kinship? Even if a branch of the family tree is snapped off, it's still always part of the tree!"

Sze Lingyun was a more reserved person. She was usually quite mild-mannered, except when it came to matters about Li Jingyan.

As she was hugged by Wu Pingting, her face went red all over, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Wu Pingting jumped for a long time before Sze Lingyun rained on her parade a little. "Ah... I can't be sure of things just yet. After all, I haven't confirmed that I'm Zhou Hua's daughter, and we haven't confirmed whether Incle and Zhou Hua have that kind of relationship yet."

"We have! Listen up..." Wu Pingting explained anxiously. "Yesterday, you heard from my grandfather that Uncle didn't get married and have children, and instead adopted that ingrate Wu Zongxu, was because he loved this girl, the girl who saved him in the valley. Even though he never said why he was so obsessed with that girl, if that girl was your mother, you can probably guess why. Even though they only had one night, Uncle and your mother did it. After that, Uncle was rescued by Grandpa, and your mother disappeared. Your mother probably went back and realized that she was pregnant with you. And my uncle is a loyal and monogamous man, so he never remarried."

With that, Wu Pingting looked at Nangong Nuannuan excitedly and asked, "Nuannuan, don't you think my sister looks very much like a member of my family? You haven't met my Uncle, but you should have met my aunt. Both of them inherited my grandmother's looks and look very similar. Don't you think that Sis looks very similar to my aunt?"

Nangong Nuannuan nodded. "Yes, very similar! Senior Sister and her mother's auras are very similar, but they only look about half-alike. I wanted to say it when the two of you met yesterday. but I think that Senior Sister and your aunt look really similar."

"Right, right!" Wu Pingting looked at Sze Lingyun proudly, "Sis, since Nuannuan says so, you must be our Wu family's child! Let's go, let's go! Let's go home! I want to make everyone in the family take a DNA test with you."

After saying that, Wu Pingting took out her phone and made a call. The call had barely been picked up when she said excitedly, "Dad, Sister Sze is my biological sister! No, I mean, my cousin! Quick, tell everyone! And we'll find a hospital to do a DNA test for us!"

After Wu Pingting said this, the other end of the line fell silent for a while. Wu Jingcheng then asked excitedly, "What? Pingting, what did you just say? Are you serious? Where are you now? Why do you say that your Sister Sze is your uncle's child? What's happened to you two?"

Wu Pingting followed Chi Yang, Nangong Nuannuan, and Sze Lingyun back into the car.
