As a native Taiwanese, I think Sia and Lim are NOT blood relatives.

(1) Sia referred Lim as "小姐" for several times but this is strange if they are related. If they were blood relatives and Sia was generationally older, he would more likely calling her name directly. If Sia was generationally younger, he should use the phrases "姑", "姨", "婆" (all these phrase indicating that Lim is in order generation) rather than "小姐".

(2) "明叔" is also strange in several ways. When used alone, character "叔" referred to a man in one's father's age but younger than the father. However, in case of calling related, "叔" is only used for paternal uncle. Therefore, they should have same surname if they were related. Moreover, when referring a bloodly related, generationally older one, we seldom using given name, as it is very impolite.

I feel that Sia should be a friend or partner of Lim's father or brother.
