Bai Bing paused, softened her tone, and patted him on the shoulder.
"Whether it's how you live or how you handle things, you can't be spineless!"
"This world runs on the law of the jungle. The strong prey on the weak."
"You take one step back, and others will take ten steps forward."
"The weaker you act, the more they'll think they can push you around."
"Remember when Li Feiyu came after you at Bund No. 18? Why did I wreck his place and make Gao Yuyan kneel like a dog?"
"It wasn't because I was unreasonable. With people like that, the more you give in, the more they demand."
"If I'd backed down then, do you think Li Feiyu would've let you go?"
"He'd only have decided you were easy to push around and used even worse tactics against you next time!"
Yue Xiaofei fell silent and lowered his head, his fingers clenching without him realizing it.
Bai Bing's words struck like a hammer and jolted him awake!
Back in Jiangcheng, hadn't Gao Zisheng bullied him worse and worse precisely because he had no one to rely on?
"Bai Bing, you're right. I can't go soft on people like that. I have to stand firm!"
Yue Xiaofei raised his head, a new resolve in his eyes as he took her lesson to heart.
"Respect is earned by fighting for it, not by yielding."
"From now on, I'll stand firm like my dad! Whether it's the Azure Alliance or any other enemy, I won't back down again!!!"
At that moment, resolve filled Yue Xiaofei's eyes and ambition surged within him. It was as though something inside him had been tempered and transformed.
Like a caged bird... finally set free!
Like a great roc catching the wind and soaring ninety thousand
