Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 3

- Where did it go? - Come on out! Stop hiding!

Let's see if I can kill you.

Keep acting tough.

I'll blow you up.

I'll blow you up...

Your phone is ringing.

Hurry up and mute it.

Hello?

Hello? What took you so long to answer the phone?

I was putting her to sleep

so I didn't hear the phone ring.

Where is Qian Qian?

Wait a minute...

She seems to be asleep already. I'll wake her up.

Qian Qian...

Forget it. She's already asleep.

Let me tell you.

Huang Li told me that First Elementary is expanding this year.

Qian Qian has a great chance next year!

Why don't we talk about this when you get home?

I'm doing laundry right now.

You have no idea what a mess the house is in since you left.

I realized that I really can't do without you.

All right, thanks for the hard work.

You should go to bed early as well, bye.

- Awesome... - Don't move yet.

You really are awesome.

Don't move, we'll start the game together.

Here, let's continue.

Your cell phone!

Aren't you busy. Can't we finish a game properly in peace?

- Mom. - Where are you?

I'm working overtime.

That can't be right. Why is your home phone always busy?

Could someone have broken into your house?

No, it's...

It's just that when I left this morning

I probably didn't hang it up properly.

Qian Qian is running a fever.

It's pretty serious.

Let Grandpa wipe you to lower your body temperature.

How is she now?

You can touch her. Doesn't it still feel a bit warm?

Why would she fall ill so suddenly?

What is the matter with you both?

She's still a child. If her head hurts and feels a bit warm

it's nothing out of the ordinary.

Why do you have to panic?

What do I say to Sheng Nan when she gets home?

Should we give her some water?

Grandpa is giving you some water.

Good girl. Have some water... Take a big gulp.

Good.

Good girl...

Sleep...

Luo Su, I'm almost done with work here.

It's going pretty well. I'll be back tomorrow night.

How is Qian Qian?

Don't worry, she's fine.

Why don't you get Qian Qian on the phone? I'd like to talk to her.

Are you a bit muddle-headed? She's at the kindergarten now.

Why do I hear Qian Qian coughing?

No, that's one of my colleagues.

Luo Su, tell me honestly where you are right now.

I left the office to run some errands with my colleague.

I'm going into the elevator now. We'll talk later...

Hello?

I don't know if I should say this to you.

You can't believe a man's words completely.

It's in their nature to lie.

My dad is just like that.

Hello?

I just made a call to Qian Qian's kindergarten.

She called in sick!

Really?

You called in sick for her.

I'll fix you when I get home!

Don't panic.

It doesn't help with anything.

I'd really like to head home right now.

Right, I should give them a call.

I'll ask them if it's possible to sign the contract today.

By the way, Director Xu's assistant called the last minute to say that

something came up for Director Xu so the contract is to be signed a day later.

That won't do.

Qian Qian is still sick.

How about this?

Why don't you change your flight ticket to the earliest flight possible

and I'll take care of the contract the day after tomorrow?

We've already discussed all the terms.

It's just signing the contract and sealing the deal.

I'll just be there to put a seal on it. It doesn't matter who does it, right?

Don't worry.

I'll just tell Director Cao that we came back together when I get back.

Then you'll have two more days to take good care of Qian Qian.

All right.

I'll have to trouble you with it then.

Don't forget to call me if there are any problems.

I know.

Sir, please take us to the airport!

- All right. - Hurry up!

Sure.

Don't worry.

Hello? I'm the representative from Europa Shopping Mall.

Something urgent came up so GM Bi had rushed back to handle it.

You can talk to me about the contract.

I'm now in charge of this project.

Faster! Hit the sharks! You get more points for hitting the sharks.

Come on, you're a grown up.

Can I not have to clean up after you?

Look at the mess you made in the house.

You don't even do any laundry when there are so many dirty clothes?

All the pans in the kitchen are burnt. You don't do anything about them.

Listen up, toilet rolls in both toilets are soaked in water.

When I opened the fridge, it's packed with junk food.

Did you buy them for Qian Qian?

With Sheng Nan's temper, she'll surely teach you a lesson when she gets home.

That's why at crucial times, I need the help of my own mom.

By the way, Mom, Qian Qian's clothes have to be washed by hand.

- Use that detergent in the green bottle. - Where is that green bottle?

It's in the toilet.

- It's in the toilet downstairs? - Yes.

You have to feed her some medication syrup.

My baby, sit up.

It's time to take your medication.

- Here... - I won't have it!

My dear, you have to take your medication.

You'll only get well if you take your medication.

Here...

I don't want it!

You have to take it, my dear.

You'll only get well if you take it and then I can take you out to play, okay?

I won't take it!

If you won't, then don't.

But we can't waste it either.

Let's feed this to the flowers?

Okay!

Why are you so mean?

You even laughed about it?

We'll feed it to the flowers...

Now you're happy?

My darling, when your mom gets home what mustn't you tell your mom?

Daddy, I know. I mustn't tell her that you took me out for grilled lamb

or played video games

or that I slept all day long or that I didn't shower

or that we poured cough syrup into the flower pot.

What? We did all that together?

That does sound a bit unreliable.

That's right! Hit that shark!

Yes, that scores more points.

Who could it be at this hour?

- Sheng Nan is home? - Mom, you're here?

Is it this green bottle?

- How is Qian Qian? - Why have you come home today?

I took the earliest flight back.

What's the matter with Qian Qian?

Is she feeling better?

Why have you lost weight?

Luo Su, what did I tell you? I only asked that she stays well.

I was only gone for two and a half days. Look what became of Qian Qian.

Mommy, I fell sick when I was at Grandma's place.

What did you promise me? You lied to me!

No, it's because Qian Qian was ill so I took her to my mom's.

I can't take care of her alone.

You still give her prawns? Prawns will make her more feverish.

You can't have prawns when you have a fever.

Mom made it for me.

Don't start pointing out mistakes the minute you get home.

If Mom hears you, she will...

Mom.

I've done the laundry.

I know that because Qian Qian is sick everyone is in a bad mood.

- Stop talking that much. - Yes.

Mom...

Sheng Nan, I made the prawns for you.

I reckon that you'll come home today.

Before you got home, I was scolding Luo Su all the time.

I told him that no matter how outstanding a man is

his family should always come first.

He has to be able to look after both his career and family.

Since you're home now, I'll get back to look after your dad.

Mom, you haven't had dinner yet! Finish dinner first.

- It's fine. - Grandma, don't leave!

Exactly! You made us so many delicious dishes.

My darling, I have to go home to look after Grandpa.

Mommy's home now.

You should get well soon, goodbye.

Mom, I'll walk you downstairs.

Why weren't you more careful when you speak? Mom heard you.

How would I know that she'd come out of the room?

She... She's really gone home to make dinner for my dad.

She's right. You have to manage both your career and family well.

Is she referring to you or me?

She said it to me.

It's definitely referring to me. Don't think too much about it.

You show no responsibility.

If it hadn't been for Mom, I reckon that Qian Qian would be hospitalized.

You're so irresponsible.

Qian Qian, you don't want any food?
