Ning Shu couldn’t understand why Shi Sinan wouldn’t listen to her. She could barely suppress her irritation anymore.

  Ning Shu took a deep breath and said, “You’re a girl. You have to keep your distance from men, even if it’s your uncle.”


  “I understand.” Shi Sinan pressed her lips together and nodded.

  Ning Shu said, “Now that you know, you have to do it.”


  “Mom, what’s going on with you? Why must you make me keep my distance from my uncle? We live under the same roof and cross paths regularly. How do you want me to avoid him?” Shi Sinan said somewhat unbearably, “Mom, I think you’ve become strange lately.”


  The veins on Ning Shu’s forehead jumped. Do you want me to directly say that your uncle fricking wants to sleep with you?

  She was a good little white rabbit in front of Xi Mucheng, yet before her mother, she had all kinds of temper. Shi Lina gave birth to her and raised her, but now she also had to put up with all her little tantrums.

  “Just do as I say.” Ning Shu pinched Shi Sinan’s arm and squeezed hard. “Keep your opinions to yourself.”


  “Mom, you’re pinching me. It hurts.” Shi Sinan’s small face was in so much pain that her features twisted together. “Mom, it hurts.”


  Ning Shu let go of Shi Sinan’s arm. Shi Sinan’s eyes were watery, and she turned to open the car door to leave.

  Ning Shu dragged Shi Sinan back and asked, “What are you doing? You have to go to school now.”


  Shi Sinan cried and shouted at Ning Shu, “Mother, you’re too much, blaming me for something for no reason. You weren’t like this before.”


  “So, what do you want me to do?” Ning Shu looked at Shi Sinan with an indifferent expression.

  “I……” Shi Sinan bit her lip tightly. “I feel like Mom doesn’t love me anymore.”


  “If me lecturing you a bit means that I don’t love you, then fine, I don’t love you,” said Ning Shu indifferently.

  “Mom,” yelled Shi Sinan. Her voice was unusually harsh in the car.

  Ning Shu dug at her ears and slapped Shi Sinan. “Keep your voice down. I’m not deaf.”


  She had wanted to slap her for a long time.

  “Pa……” The loud slap made Shi Sinan freeze, as if she had been hit silly.

  Shi Sinan covered his face and looked at Ning Shu with dazed eyes. “Mom, you hit me.”


  Tears cascaded down Shi Sinan’s face. “Mom, you hit me.”


  Shi Lina could never bear to lay a hand on Shi Sinan. Shi Lina wouldn’t even touch a hair, but for the first time in eighteen years, she was slapped.

  Slapping was an incredibly insulting way to hit someone, and Shi Sinan’s pride couldn’t take it.

  She opened the car door to run off in a frenzy, but Ning Shu yanked her back into the car seat. “Sit down properly.”


  “Mom, how could you do that?” Shi Sinan cried out, “Mom……”


  “Shut up. No more shouting,” said Ning Shu coldly. She then locked the car door and drove to school.

  Shi Sinan cried the whole way. She covered her hot and painful face, her nose red and looking pitiful.

  At the school, Ning Shu dragged Shi Sinan to the principal’s office and asked the principal for a transfer.

  Hearing this, Shi Sinan forgot her tears. She shouted at Ning Shu, “Mom, why do you want me to transfer schools? I’m not going anywhere.”


  Ning Shu ignored Shi Sinan, took her registration from the school, and stuffed her back into the car.
