In the teahouse
Han Ya chose a private room and ordered a pot of fine Longjing tea. She picked up the cup and blew away the hot steam.
Chu Tiance didn't like drinking tea very much, so he just followed Han Ya's instructions and didn't touch the cup of tea.
"Tian Ce, I think I have something to tell you." Han Ya frowned, "Actually, I should have told you a long time ago, but your grandfather didn't let me tell you at the time."
"What is it?" Chu Tiance frowned.
"Do you know your mother's name?" Han Ya smiled slightly and kept it a secret.
Chu Tiance really didn't know his mother's name. Since he could remember, Chu Yaohua told everyone not to mention his mother in front of Chu Tiance.
When he was young and ignorant, he once asked Chu Yaohua about his mother in person, but he was beaten and he never asked again.
In the Chu family, Chu Tiance's mother was the biggest taboo.
Seeing that Chu Tiance didn't say anything, Han Ya continued, "Tian Ce, when your grandfather was alive, you were not allowed to ask, and no one was allowed to tell. Now that he is gone, there is no need to hide it from you. Your mother's name is..."
She paused, and then said, "Ou Xuehua."
Chu Tiance raised his head abruptly, "Ou Xuehua, my mother's last name is Ou?"
"You don't know that the Queen of Sparrow in East Sichuan is named Ou Yuhua, right? That is Ou Zihan's aunt."
Chu Tiance's hand trembled, and the cup of tea in front of him was knocked over in an instant. The water in it was still very hot, and it burned his hand all of a sudden. He covered the wound with his other hand.
"Auntie, are you mistaken?" He couldn't accept this fact!
"It can't be wrong. I don't know why your grandfather didn't let me tell you at first. Since Ou Zihan is Ou Chuanshan's daughter, but Ou Chuanshan is your uncle, you are cousins and can't be together." Han Ya kept saying earnestly.
"No! Impossible, how could my mother be the gambling god's sister? Impossible! This is impossible!" Chu Tiance said several impossibles in a row.
"Tian Ce, I know it's hard for you to accept this fact, but it's true. At first, your mother admired your father's handsomeness and insisted on marrying your father. She even ran away from home and had a quarrel with her family. Because of this, the relationship between the Chu family and the Ou family has always been bad."
Han Ya observed Chu Tiance's expression while talking. The uglier Chu Tiance's expression was, the more she wanted to talk.
"Your mother had a difficult birth and was admitted to the intensive care unit right after you were born. She died half a month later. The Chu family even fought over this matter, but there was no result after all the arguments. Everyone died, so the matter was left unresolved." Han Ya recounted the whole story.
Chu Tiance's face turned ashen, staring blankly at the table, as if he had lost his soul.
Seeing Chu Tiance's embarrassed face, Han Ya realized her intention.
In fact, she could have kept this secret, but she couldn't let the two of them be happy together, because she felt uncomfortable when they were happy!
"Tian Ce, it's getting late, I should go back." Han Ya stood up, and Chu Tiance still didn't move.
She smiled and left the teahouse.
Chu Tiance couldn't accept this fact. He sat in the chair all the time, his mind was blank.
What should he do? What should he do?
He didn't know how long he sat there before the waiter came to him and asked if he was feeling unwell. Only then did he come to his senses, paid the bill and left the teahouse. He
was supposed to go home, but now he didn't know how to go home, how to face Ou Zihan who was waiting for him at home.
He thought that Ou Zihan probably couldn't accept this fact either.
