History[]
Kim and Chaing Wu, grandson and grandfather (1985)
In 1985, Sean Donely steals an Aztec treasure and intends to sell it to a Chinese man named Mr. Chaing Wu. Donely's plan, however, is foiled by Robert Scorpio. Two stolen jade Buddhas from the treasure are then given to Mr. Wu by the New York police; but he is then forced to give them to their rightful owner, a wise old Chinese man called The Ancient One.
The Ancient One explains that the true valuable part of the Buddhas is actually the black pearls within their eyes. He plans to sell the pearls to finance the acquisition of the Port Charles cannery for his Asian people who are being oppressed by an unfair labor system. The pearls, however, are gone. Mr. Wu is actually the oppressor and has had the pearls stolen. He did not, however, know how valuable they are. When he hears of their value, he instructs his grandson Kim Wu to get them back.
Mr. Wu assumes that Robert and Anna must have taken the pearls. When Robert returns home one day, he finds a young girl named Robin. She says that she lives in New York and that an Asian chauffeur had picked her up at camp and dropped her off at Robert's house. The chauffeur had told her to wait there for her grandmother to pick her up. Robert leaves Robin with Frisco and Felicia and heads to New York in search of Robin's grandmother Filomena. In New York, Anna arrives home to find her apartment ransacked and Filomena tied up. It turns out that Anna is actually Robin's mother, but she doesn't want anyone to know, not even Robin. Robin only knows her as a friend named Luv.
While Robin is with Frisco and Felicia, an Asian man attempts to grab her doll while walking on the water front. Mr. Wu is enraged and fears that Frisco might be able to identify his grandson Kim as the thief, so he orders Frisco's execution. He has Frisco's drink poisoned, but then Frisco's friend Josh drinks it instead, and dies. Robert then realizes that Robin is Anna's daughter, and that he is her father.
Sean Donely is pardoned by the governor and released. He then goes to help Mr. Wu find the pearls. Robin's doll is then stolen by an Asian delivery woman. An Asian man named Tey is killed when he is hit by a car, and Frisco and Robert decide that Frisco will go undercover. Frisco poses as the driver that killed Tey because he is eager to find out who has killed his friend Josh.
Robin then overhears that Anna and Robert are her parents. The lie upsets her and she runs away. She finds her doll at General Hospital, and then meets The Ancient One in the Asian Quarter. The Ancient One tells her about the black pearls, and she tells him that she knows where they are, in her doll's eyes. The Ancient One then gives the pearls to Olin, a kindly Asian woman, for safekeeping. The Ancient One gets information from Robin about how to get her home, but when they go to meet Anna and Buzz Stryker, they are kidnapped by Kim.
Robert and Anna set up headquarters in the Bamboo Bar to find Robin, not knowing that Robin and The Ancient One are actually being kept in a secret room at the bar. Robin and The Ancient One are finally rescued by Robert and Anna just before Thanksgiving. The Ancient One exchanges the pearls for cash and the Asian community purchases the cannery.
Robert and Sean then join with The Ancient One's grandson Yank (also Tey's brother) to take down Mr. Wu, who has been operating an illegal drug-selling operation. Yank kills Kim, who had planned to blow up the cannery. Kim's sister, Jade, is devastated to find out that her lover Yank killed her brother, and she suddenly goes blind. Mr. Wu then confesses his wrongdoing to Jade before being carted off to prison; and, being free of shame and guilt, her eyesight is restored.
Selina and her bodyguard Mr Li (2022)
Target on Cody and Ms. Wu (2023)
The Wu Family returns in 2015 at a Mob summit in New York City called by Sonny Corinthos. A representative of the Wu Family named Ms. Wu was present.
On May 4, 2021, when another meeting with the Five Families is arranged. Cyrus Renault attends and everyone there, including Selina, refers to him as "Mr. Renault." The meeting is about to begin until Carly Corinthos arrives, presumably in Jason's place (Jason had been shot), saying "not so fast." She takes her seat at the opposite end of the table, across from where Selina is seated THEN gives her permission for the meeting to commence.
On August 17, 2021, Jason arrives at a Five Families meeting. Carly has to pick up Josslyn at Wyndemere so she can’t attend the meeting. Selina was unhappy with Carly's absence and called this unacceptable. Selina also tells Jason she considers Carly a liability and thinks she should be eliminated. Jason views this as a threat and lets her know he will not allow that, that he and Carly are getting married and that they are co-running the organization. Just as Carly arrived at the meeting, it'd already ended as everyone -- except Jason -- were up out of their seats and exiting the room where the meeting was being held, with Vincent telling Carly he'll be looking for his invitation to their wedding in the mail.
On September 17, Ms. Wu warns Jason after the wedding that Vincent Novak and Charles Buscema are planning something. Jason says he is aware and arranges for Novak and Buscema to be killed by the bomb they planted under Jason and Carly's limo.
On November 8, Sonny meets with Ms. Wu. He offers to give her half of Joey Novak's holdings as thanks for saving Jason and Carly. She asks for him to help her nephew Brad Cooper who has parole soon. Sonny reluctantly agrees to not interfere if Brad gets parole and says he will not retaliate against Brad as long as Brad stays away from Michael and Wiley. Ms. Wu agrees to the terms and says they are now even.
On December 14, Brad is paroled after his hearing despite Michael speaking against him. Ms. Wu (now referred to as Selina) takes Brad to breakfast at the Metro Court with Brad. Selina got Brad a job and has him living with her. He says he has never even met her. Selina says she was respecting his adoptive parents wishes but she has been keeping tabs on him. Michael is mad to see Brad at Carly's restaurant. He threatens Brad and Selina who threatens Michael back.Relationships[]
