Poor little rich kids

Antique dealer Zhang broke the bad news to his daughter. The family was in financial trouble and had to move out of their luxury 200 sqm apartment near Beijing's Silk Market. Their new home would be a two-bedroom abode in a downmarket building.
In fact, it was a lie.
Zhang and his wife had no such problems but were at their wits' ends trying to handle the 13-year-old girl. She had been spoiled rotten by the family's growing affluence and Zhang decided drastic action was necessary. Sacrificing their daily comforts seemed a good way to bring the troubled girl down to earth.
