Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 20

- Cheers. - Thanks for being here.

Congratulations, Director Luo.

- Have a seat, all right? - Thank you.

Your auntie has worked hard.

I'm exhausted!

You must be exhausted?

I have cramps in my calves.

That's for sure. You're in such high heels.

How can your aunt not be tired?

But she looks great.

I'll use this opportunity to teach Qian Qian something.

Qian Qian, do you know what this wine glass is called?

This is called the Burgundy glass.

It's used specifically for red wine.

But there's just some fruit wine in it now.

You can taste it

and see if it tastes better than any soft drinks you've ever had.

How can you let a child drink alcohol?

Come with me to get some food.

I already said that it's just fruit wine and not really wine.

Would you like some cake?

- No, I'd like some fruit. - Okay.

- Luo Dan! - I'll get you an orange?

- It's been ages. - Yes, indeed.

Why don't you seem to look well these days?

Surely not?

Perhaps the lighting is poor here?

You seem very troubled.

It's fine. You can talk to me about it.

I have a lot more experience in such matters than you do.

What experience?

Catching adulterers in the act!

Listen.

I've managed to trap my husband and his mistress in a hotel twice.

The last time, I hired a private investigator to trap them in the room.

I threw the divorce papers right into that old man's face.

Told him that he either agrees to the divorce and asks for no alimony at all

or I'll send photos of his adultery to the board of directors.

As a result, I'm now a wealthy single woman.

All right now, didn't you see my mom over there?

Stop bringing up such matters, okay?

I thought that your entire family knew about it already?

What do they know?

I don't even know what you're talking about.

You really don't know about it?

How is that possible?

All Chinese in New York know about your husband and that slut.

No... What nonsense are you saying?

What happened to Zi Feng?

Why would you say that about him?

What's going on?

No... I don't know.

I really have no idea.

I'll leave you to host the party.

No, you...

Luo Dan.

Luo Dan?

Be honest with me.

Did she just tell you that Zi Feng has a mistress in the States?

No. Some women talk gibberish after a glass of wine or two.

I mean it. Don't listen to them.

Luo Dan...

We mustn't lie to ourselves.

Mom, don't you trust me?

Zi Feng and I are so close.

How is that possible?

We're really very close.

Take it easy.

Take it easy.

I'm really all right, Mom.

Where's Qian Qian?

Qian Qian?

She left with a banana.

Qian Qian!

- Luo Dan, did you check the toilets? - I already did.

- Have you seen a girl in pink? - No.

Qian Qian?

- Qian Qian! - Qian Qian?

- Qian Qian? Excuse me. - Qian Qian!

Pardon.

Qian Qian!

- Have you seen her? - Qian Qian?

Qian Qian!

Qian Qian?

Qian Qian?

Qian Qian!

Excuse me, have you seen a girl in a pink dress?

I'm sorry, but I haven't.

My goodness!

Qian Qian, why didn't you answer me? You got me so worried.

What's going on?

Grandma... Why is the castle spinning?

Do you still want to throw up?

My darling, do you still want to vomit?

Look at what a poor drinker your daughter is.

She got this drunk with just a bit of wine.

You have the cheek to say that?

I shouldn't agreed to let you take her to some gala!

You didn't keep an eye on her and she had alcohol!

How do I explain this to Sheng Nan?

- Just blame it all on me. - Blame it all on you?

Who knows where you'll be later?

- Who said so? - What's wrong?

What's wrong, Qian Qian?

Mommy, my head hurts.

Qian Qian, what's wrong?

Why is your face so flushed?

Mommy, red wine tastes good.

Sheng Nan is home?

Here, have some soup to sober up. It's okay.

How can you let her drink alcohol?

We didn't. It's not wine. It's just fruit wine.

There was a party at her chateau today

so we took her with us.

But she slipped out of sight when we weren't watching

and she ended up like this with just a sip of wine.

Fruit wine and grape juice in my chateau taste alike. Don't worry.

Don't worry?

She's drunk and you tell me not to be worried?

Do I only worry when she gets admitted to a hospital?

She will just black out. It happens to me very often.

Hospital? You're too funny.

It happens to you very often?

Do you want my daughter to become a useless alcoholic like you?

Bi Sheng Nan! What did you say?

Sit down. Sit down now!

You mustn't say anything.

Exactly! Don't talk that much.

Why would you still talk so much after making mistakes?

What do you mean by that?

Didn't I just explain it to you?

We lost sight of her for just a while

and she took a sip, that's all. It's normal that a child can't drink!

Isn't it just a sip?

Wifey, it's just a sip.

This is an accident. We'll never do it again.

Don't try to brush this off. You promise to have her study.

You're all ganging up to lie to me?

Fine, you want me to stop disciplining her?

This is the outcome of it!

- No... - Let's go, Qian Qian.

I'll clean you up in the room.

Did I not..

Bi Sheng Nan!

Did you throw a temper at home after being intimidated by Tang Lin?

What nonsense are you talking about?

- Stop talking! - I will talk as I please!

Say that again if you dare!

Don't be unreasonable!

Speak with a clear conscience!

Does my mom treat Qian Qian well?

You didn't say anything about your dad feeding Qian Qian cat food.

But do you have to get so worked up about Qian Qian having some wine?

Shut up! My dad never fed her cat food!

He did!

Fine, all right. Is this my home?

I can't stay here anymore!

I will take Qian Qian with me!

What fuss is this about?

Sheng Nan, you mustn't leave!

This is your home so we should be the ones to leave.

She didn't behave well because she doesn't have a good role model.

- Let's leave now! - Mom, what for?

What?

Didn't we already have an agreement?

We agreed not to make Qian Qian too stressed out after school.

We'll let her do what she likes.

My mom and sister took her out to broaden her horizon. So what?

Yes, broaden her horizons indeed! She got so drunk! How old is she?

All right! Stop fighting!

If you have to blame someone, blame it all on me!

I'll leave. I mean it.

Don't fight with her.

- Mom, let's go. - Can't you say something nice?

I'm not a hypocrite like you!

Mom! I'll leave with you!

Qian Qian...

Mom, you should at least have some soup.

I'm fine.

I mean it.

I'm all right.

Don't put yourself in hot water just because I argued with her.

Every family has its own problems.

Isn't the relationship between mothers-in-law and

daughters-in-laws the most difficult relationship to manage?

Go and have some food. Then you should go home.

I'm not going home.

Who does she think she is?

I've spoiled her!

What do you mean by that?

It is wrong for them to let Qian Qian drink alcohol!

Who are you to be angry at Sheng Nan?

You should blame your mom for it.

Right! You as well, Luo Dan!

Dad, can you not drag me into everything?

You do that all the time!

You can't blame me and Mom entirely for this matter.

Qian Qian sneaked out to have alcohol.

She got drunk in the end, so yes, we admit that
