At 9 PM, Wang Yu drove Qin Tian and Xiao Fei back to the hotel, then rushed back to Huajing Lake alone.
In the living room, the girls were conversing softly on the sofa; upon Wang Yu's return, they immediately ceased talking and rose to their feet, yet they didn't come forward, knowing that Wang Yu's first act after entering the house would surely be to offer incense to Chang Fansha.
Wang Yu glanced at them and went straight to Chang Fansha's spirit tablet, lit three sticks of incense, and bowed three times. After performing the ritual for Chang Fansha, he then entered the living room and sat down on the sofa.
"Why are you standing? Sit down, all of you!"
Wang Yu told them, then leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes to rub his temples.
Under normal circumstances, Wang Xi would have rushed to sit by his side and start acting spoilt, but today Wang Xi was very quiet, aware that Chang Fansha's death had dealt her brother a heavy blow, and his mood had been very poor lately.
