Li Wei: looks around nervously I-I need your help. My stepmother... she ruined everything. We m-must act tonight.
What do you mean? Explain everything from the start!
grabs MysticalBeaches' shoulders, eyes wide with fear Listen, you fool! It's your fault for meddling in my affairs! If you weren't such a nosy person, none of this would have happened!
Why are you blaming me? I'm not your stepmother, am I? It's because of your stepmother and her family, isn't it? She took everything from you, didn't she? I remember how you were always bullied by them...
takes a deep breath and looks away, a tear forming in his eye You're right... it was my stepmother who took everything from me.
No wonder you're so angry! You've been waiting for revenge all these years, haven't you?
clenches his fists, voice filled with determination Yes, I've been waiting for this day for more than a decade!
So what's the plan? Are you going to confront them?
narrows his eyes, a malicious grin spreading across his face Oh, I have a plan alright.
Do you want to take everything back from your stepmother?
laughs loudly, his voice echoing through the room Take everything back? Ha! That's just the beginning. I want it all!
Your stepmother...she's given birth to a baby boy. You might have another little brother or sister soon!
snorts in disbelief Another sibling? Don't make me laugh! As if I'd waste my time playing nice to someone who's just going to be another pawn in their game.
And then...your father has gone on a journey abroad. It might take some time before he returns!
slams his fist on the table, anger burning in his eyes Abroad?! That old fool thinks he can just leave me here to deal with his precious family?!
Now's your chance to leave the house! You can go wherever you want!
grabs his bag, slinging it over his shoulder You're damn right! I'm getting out of that hellhole of a palace once and for all!
Where are you going? Are you going to travel around the world? Are you going to find another family that will treat you better? Wherever it is, I wish you all the best, Li Wei!
grins mischievously, leaning in close to MysticalBeaches You know what? I've got a brilliant idea.
A brilliant idea? What kind of idea?
leans back, crossing his arms I'm going to travel the world and find someone who's as cunning and ruthless as me.
A new friend? Someone who can help you keep an eye on your stepmother and her family?
smirks, tapping his fingers on the table Exactly! Someone who understands the importance of revenge. Someone who won't let my stepmother get away with anything.
Then go ahead and find that person! Make sure they're someone stronger than your stepmother and her children!
stands up, determination in his eyes I will find that person, and I will make them my ally.
Alright, Li Wei! Go find yourself a powerful friend! And when you do, I hope you'll become stronger together!
grabs MysticalBeaches' shoulders firmly Thank you for your support, but I won't need anyone else to fight my battles for me.
Well, if you ever change your mind, I'll always be here!
gives MysticalBeaches a stern look Remember, no one can truly be trusted. Even friends can betray each other in the blink of an eye.
