Military school was a place of nightmares, how could she threaten to send her to such a place? Tong Yan's eyes were welling up. "Mommy, you don't love me anymore, how can you treat me like this? All of you don't love me anymore, right? All of you have changed."
Shen Ru sighed, and she felt a headache coming. "I've told you, this is for your own good so stop causing a scene or I'll really send you to military school!"
Shen Ru dropped the ultimatum and stood up to leave. Tong Yan was shocked once more, but she was clever enough to change tact. She hugged her mother's arm and said pleadingly, "Mommy, okay, I will be good girl from now on so please don't be angry with me, but I'm really bored out of my mind, can you please let me go out? I promise I won't go anywhere but visit grandpa. I've missed him, can't you let me go see him?"
"No!" Shen Ru jumped like she was pricked with needle. Her unusual reaction startled Tong Yan.
