"Have you already regretted your mistakes?"
"Since the first day, father."
"I know when you're lying, Xu Wang, I don't recommend doing it."

"What do you want me to say?"
"Stop thinking about what I want! That's not how I raised you, you have this family's blood, don't dishonor me this way!" he replied. "I'll ask you again, do you regret your mistakes?"
"No..."
"Louder!"
