This night was destined to be a sleepless one.
Li Liping didn't go back; Xu Qian had insisted she stay the night. This completely eliminated Wang Jian's last chance. His opportunity to get closer to his sister-in-law and find out what she was thinking was gone. To his surprise, an even bigger problem arose after the two women finished crying.
Not only did Xu Qian ignore him, but Li Liping did as well.
The sudden feeling of isolation was deeply unsettling, so much so that he couldn't sleep peacefully. The night passed in a daze. In the middle of it, he could even hear women laughing downstairs, though he had no idea what they were talking about.
