Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 41

- Hello? - Luo Su.

I just looked up some international cases.

You have to bring Qian Qian over to me tomorrow.

Treatment for this illness must not be put off.

I'll do my best to help her.

Tang Lin, I...

Don't hesitate.

Just tell Sheng Nan that I truly wish to help Qian Qian.

As a mother, she won't stop me from doing so.

All right, we'll discuss this tomorrow.

See you tomorrow.

You're awake?

Is Dad all right?

You heard what the doctor said.

We're responsible for how our child turned out today.

The quieter we are

the more unwilling she is to speak.

No matter what conflicts we have between us

could we try to hold ourselves back a little in front of her?

Even if we had to fake it?

I agree with you.

Your dad really went overboard this time.

Wasn't your mom too harsh with her words that day?

She called my family lunatics.

I'm not a daughter-in-law or a mother.

It seems that you're not too pleased with me?

No, my mom was just too anxious about Qian Qian's condition.

All in all, isn't Qian Qian's illness caused by our arguments?

My mom's words were too harsh, but she had a point.

Yes, your mom was right. She said it so well!

She said it so well that my dad ended up in the hospital!

Can we both discuss this calmly?

Aren't we both responsible for this matter?

Can we not learn a lesson from it

and reflect on ourselves?

Do you think that you and your dad's way of living is right?

Your family likes to put pressure on other people.

You make everyone else nervous

while you feel excited.

Why are you here?

My dad is already in such a state

and you had to come here to point a finger at us?

What are you doing here?

- I'm here to... - To provoke me?

What am I doing here?

Under the moonlight, Qian Qian is flying carefree.

Pure moonlight is shimmering all over your body.

Slowly, your hands, your legs

have melted away.

Shirley, I have some business to attend to.

When Qian Qian wakes up later

come and get me in my office.

Sure.

Come into my office.

How was it?

Let's finish a course of treatments first and see how it goes.

I think that Qian Qian has already shut her heart off to everyone.

It's already very hard to get her to open it up again.

Honestly speaking, it's the parents' negligence

that caused her to have this illness.

I admit to that.

You don't seem quite well.

Has it been difficult both at home and at work?

Frankly speaking, I'm almost getting depression myself.

The research that I'm doing this time is about how parents' experiences

influence the way they educate their children.

A lot of parents are like you.

They will pass their anxiety on to their children.

Luo Su, have you thought about who changed you and Qian Qian?

Have you thought about it?

This is all because of Sheng Nan's dad.

Bi Sheng Nan is her father's pride.

She's the exam robot that he's mentored for years.

I knew that when I was in university.

They live for success.

And more success.

They pass that on for generations.

They also hope that Qian Qian can become like them.

But you're different.

You and your sister have grown up in a relaxing environment.

Because your family is more well-off

you didn't grow up with any tension.

You can feel happiness at all times.

But Bi Sheng Nan wasn't born with the same ability.

From what you told me, I think that Qian Qian is rejecting her mother.

That actually made it all very clear.

- Is Qian Qian asleep? - Yes.

Why don't we visit our in-law at the hospital?

Luo Su can stay home with Qian Qian.

You can go if you want, but I'm not going with you.

What am I to say to him?

One Victory Chant made both families badly hurt.

After all, you did infuriate him so much that he passed out.

It's inappropriate for us not to visit him.

What's inappropriate about that?

This relationship will soon come to an end.

According to what you mean

you really want them to get divorced?

I already told you not to have any expectations about that family.

If their little family is to be broken up

that is their fate.

What we should consider is what will happen to Qian Qian.

Thank you.

Let's go outside. He's sleeping.

How is Qian Qian?

Yi Nuo made it sound so frightening.

She refuses to speak after she woke up.

The thing is...

everyone can touch her apart from me.

How can that be?

Usually, children are the closest to their mothers.

Don't get too anxious.

It seems that your dad is better now.

Qian Qian will need some time.

Don't worry, I won't break down.

Don't say that.

I had encountered such difficulties then.

I felt really upset.

I can understand how you feel now.

Don't go to work these days.

Feel free to let me know if you need any help there at home.

How is the company functioning?

Did you manage to gather some funds?

Don't worry about that.

The earth will still keep revolving without you.

You're right.

I'm not that important.

Yes, you're especially important.

You're especially important to all of us.

Thank you.

You're the female Iron Man, the Transformer that your dad raised.

You can handle this. Don't give in.

I'm off.

Okay, thank you.

Female Iron Man...

Be a good girl!

It's too warm to wear that!

Come and change into a skirt.

Listen to me! What's wrong with you?

- All right now... - My good girl...

- Look, she pushed me. - Qian Qian.

Qian Qian, listen to Grandma.

Those are winter clothes. You'll get yourself a heat stroke.

Come and change out of it.

Don't fuss around.

All right? Let's take that off?

Who is here?

- Coming! - Listen to Grandma.

Aren't these your favorite skirts?

- Sheng Nan is here. - Take it off.

This is thick cotton!

- You'll get sick! - Qian Qian?

Look, Mommy brought you so much delicious food.

Sheng Nan, you came at the right time.

She's put on winter clothes and she refused to take them off.

Mommy's here.

- All right? - Be good.

Qian Qian...

Qian Qian...

Nan Nan.

She doesn't want you now.

Take these home with you.

Don't talk too much.

Mom, Dad, can I take Qian Qian home with me for a few days?

- What about your dad? - He's stable now.

I've hired a caretaker, and my brother is with him every night.

This child won't leave with you.

Why would you bother?

Go home now.

Qian Qian!

Why would you put blankets on when it's so warm?

Qian Qian.

Qian Qian, will you come home with me?

Tell me what I've done wrong to have you treat me like this?

- Qian Qian! - Don't push her.

Nan Nan, why are you so persistent?

The more you push her, the more she refused to get up.

The more she refuses to get out, the more likely she is to get sick from the heat.

Leave quickly. Go home.

Leave!

How can you let her stay like that? Go home quickly.

Go and do what you should. Hurry up.

Leave!

Go and do what you should.

Qian Qian, your mom's left.

Get out of the blanket.

All in all, we have to lower the difficulty of our game.

Otherwise, the players will feel a sense of failure. Right, Mr. Luo?

Look, which of those foreign games can be so easily beaten?

If you make it so simple, they will find it boring.

Yes, you have a point.

Our original intention going into designing this game

is to target top players.

But the truth is there are only so many top players.

In short term, we won't be able to make enough of a profit to cover our costs.

We can lower the difficulty

but we can't simplify the setting of the characters.

This is the issue that I want to bring up.

We can't make the characters too localized.
