Lu Liang said, "This is our first meeting today, we have had no past grievances, so there's no reason for me to blame you."
"Mr. Lu, you truly are a magnanimous person."
Zhang Haoyu felt a surge of joy and quickly set down his tea cup to thank Lu Liang for his understanding.
Lu Liang changed his tone and suddenly said, "But you might have also heard the saying 'It's hard to sheath a blade once it has been drawn.' Once something has happened, I can't pretend it didn't."
"If someone steps on me today and I dust myself off and accept an apology as if nothing happened, someone else will step on me tomorrow because the cost of making mistakes is too low, wouldn't you agree?"
Zhang Haoyu was silent and nodded.
It's like when two people are fighting and suddenly one pulls a knife, while the other taunts, go ahead and try.
If you strike, it's hardly worth your life,
but if you don't, you're seen as a coward,
Is that it?
Lu Liang was facing this dilemma.
