Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 532 The Truth

After Jian Rou and Tian Wen rushed back, Jian Rou first put the jar of wine in her room, and then went to meet Tian Sha and Jian Liang with Tian Wen.

When Tian Sha saw Jian Rou’s red face and the smell of alcohol, he became furious and asked, “Did you fall into the wine jar? Did your brother fish you out? It took a long time, didn’t it?”

Tian Wen immediately spoke up for Jian Rou: "Mom, she just..."

"I didn't ask you, so don't tell me." Tian Sha interrupted Tian Wen.

Jian Rou knew that Tian Sha would only respond to soft words and not to hard ones, so she went over and grabbed Tian Sha's sleeve, and said coquettishly, "Mom, don't be angry. You and Dad are in a hurry to find me, so you must have something important to say. Let's talk about it, okay?"

Seeing Jian Rou talking like this, Tian Sha wanted to blame her but didn't say it, but he didn't soften immediately. Instead, he said, "You must have drunk a lot of wine, tell me, isn't it?"

"Of course not, I only drank a little bit, a very small amount, really not much." Jian Rou said.

Tian Sha didn't want to talk about this anymore and was going to get straight to the point. She always hated to dwell on trivial matters, but Jian Rou's answer made her a little dissatisfied. She didn't want her child to lie to her, so she said, "Do you think I can't see it? You used to drink a small amount of alcohol and had no reaction at all, and your face never turned red. Today, no matter how much you drank, your face turned red. You think it's easy to lie to me when you grow up, right? You wanted to lie to me, but your face told me the truth. There is only one way to successfully lie to me, and that is to lose your face."

Jian Rou didn't know she was blushing, so she didn't realize that this would expose the truth. She regretted what she had said just now, and said, "Mom, since you already know everything, don't ask me. Your words make me feel so uncomfortable. Okay, I was wrong just now. I should have told you directly that I drank a lot of wine. Please don't be angry with me, okay? I can't bear to make you angry." Jian Rou said, lowering her head slightly, looking like she was about to cry because of grievance. Then she secretly glanced at Jian Liang, as if to say to Jian Liang, "Dad, can you help me talk to Mom?"

Jian Liang certainly understood what Jian Rou meant, and immediately said, "King Sha, look, the child has admitted her mistake to you, don't make it hard on her, what do you think? Look at her now, she's about to cry."

Tian Sha looked at Jian Liang, then at Jian Rou, and softened her heart a little. She no longer blamed her for not telling the truth, but just asked, "Why did you drink so much?"

"Because my brother and I didn't win the competition, I feel so sad. Mom, you know I don't like to drink. I drank so much today just because I was sad. I feel... I feel so sorry for mom and dad that I didn't win." As Jian Rou was talking, she took the opportunity to vent her unhappiness again and started crying.

Jian Liang took the opportunity to say, "Look, the child is crying. She feels sorry for you and is upset, so she went out to drink. I told you just now that you only drank a little and it was not good not to tell the truth, but you said that she 'just doesn't want your face' which is too harsh. She also admitted her mistakes, and seeing her like this, you can't bear it anymore, right?"

Tian Sha felt that he had indeed said something too harsh, so he hugged Jian Rou, patted her on the back and said, "Don't cry, it's okay!"
