Chapter 1524 The result she wants at this time
Joseph and others were confused after hearing what Xiao Peng said.
"Boss, what does this have to do with Stallone?" a girl couldn't help but ask.
Xiao Peng said: "Generally speaking, the behavior of challenging others' professions with one's hobby can be summed up in one word, which is 'overestimating one's own abilities'! Sylvester Stallone is a good example! When he was young, Stallone's muscles were invincible, right? Especially when he starred in "Rocky" and "First Blood", his muscles were as strong as a rock. In addition, the characters he played were basically "invincible". After filming for a long time, he really thought he was invincible. When he directed and starred in "Rocky 4", in order to shoot that kind of real feeling, he asked the actor Dolph Lundgren who played his opponent to play the real punch. As a result, he ignored I'm a little confused—before becoming an actor, Lundgren was a two-time European Heavyweight Karate Champion. All it took was one punch, even while wearing gloves, and Stallone spent four days in the ICU before being revived! And you have to remember that Lundgren had already retired by then! This is the consequence of challenging someone's career with your hobby. I can tell you responsibly: while Kassin may not be a European champion, he's trained to kill. Kassin's punches are definitely heavier than Lundgren's in Rocky IV. If you were to fight him, you'd have to wonder if you have Stallone's physique."
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
However, Kasin said, "Boss, what you said sounds reasonable, but it is full of loopholes!"
"What did I say wrong?" Xiao Peng asked.
Kasin said, "Just talk about yourself! Your main job is salvaging sunken ships, right? But shooting, fighting, swimming, tennis... Anyway, I think you can win the championship in any sport! You can also use your hobby to challenge other people's careers, right? Maybe there are some talented people among them?"
Xiao Peng blinked. What Kasim said was really hard to refute.
"Alright then, then you should be more careful." Xiao Peng said, "I don't want to pay for medical expenses!"
"Don't you want to go and take a look?" Kasim asked.
Xiao Peng sat on the rubber boat and said to Van der Laupe on the small boat, "Van der Laupe, let's go. We don't want to play with kids who like to bully others."
Everyone was at a loss whether to laugh or cry after hearing this.
Van der Laupe had just started the rubber boat's outboard engine when someone shouted, "Boss, wait a minute!"
It was Ilka who ran out of the villa. He said to Xiao Peng, "Boss, Jelena and Qiqi are awake!"
"Uh." Xiao Peng helplessly jumped back into the water. "I'll go check on them. Kaxin, the water's dirty. Don't stay in it. Remember to take a hot bath after you're done messing around!"
"Yes, boss!"
Xiao Peng followed Ilka into the villa. Several maids brought bath towels. Xiao Peng wiped his legs and changed into slippers before going upstairs to the room where Jelena and the others were resting. After opening the door, he saw both of them sitting on the bed in pajamas.
After seeing Xiao Peng, Qiqi burst into tears. She jumped off the bed, hugged Xiao Peng and cried, "Xiao, I thought I would never see you again!"
Xiao Peng smiled and touched her head: "I'm right here. Silly child, stop crying!"
The more he talked, the more Qiqi cried. Xiao Peng coaxed her for a long time before she calmed down. At this time, Ilka brought over the egg custard prepared by the kitchen. Qiqi was really hungry and ate the egg custard with a spoon.
Xiao Peng came to Yelena with a bowl of egg custard, placed the bowl on the bedside table beside her bed, and turned to leave.
Jelena suddenly said, "Why don't you laugh at me?"
Xiao Peng was stunned and turned to look at Yelena: "Are you talking to me?"
Jelena gritted her teeth and spoke slowly, "Why don't you laugh at me?"
Xiao Peng asked back: "Why would I laugh at you?"
Jelena continued, "Since you hired someone to secretly protect us, why didn't you rescue us earlier? Did you do it just to make fun of me?"
Xiao Peng's face darkened after hearing this. He had the urge to slap Jelena, but after thinking for a moment, he shook his head. "Jelena, I think you've misunderstood. I've never secretly protected you. In fact, your fate has nothing to do with me. You said I hired someone to secretly protect you? No, no, no, you're wrong. I hired someone to secretly protect Qiqi. I've known Qiqi longer than I've known you, and I saved her once. You can study at Leiden University now because I want to send Ilka and Qiqi there, and you're just a supplement. Is there still a problem now?"
"You!" Yelena was so angry that she didn't expect Xiao Peng to answer like that.
Xiao Peng said directly, "What's wrong with me? I have nothing to do with you! Oh, not that I have nothing to do with you, I am your creditor. Of course, I don't expect you to pay back this money, and you can't pay it back! Besides, you are Chen Zetao's daughter, not mine, and you don't admit that he is your father, right? Do you really think that everyone in the world is your father and everyone should spoil you? Do you really think that the earth revolves around you? Don't take yourself too seriously. The reason you left the 'Luna' so confidently in Paris was not because you are powerful, but because you took the pocket money I gave you and Qiqi. You asked me why I didn't laugh at you? Then I will tell you the reason clearly now: because you are not worthy of my ridicule!"
After Xiao Peng finished speaking, without waiting for Jelena to respond, he raised a finger and said, "Now all you need to do is find one thing that makes me think highly of you, and I'll apologize for what I just said! Is there one?"
"I..." Jelena was choked for a moment.
Xiao Peng said calmly, "I understand why you left the Luna. After all, no one can accept that after living for over twenty years, a father suddenly fell from the sky. You feel that he owes you... You're right to think so, it's human nature, but whether Brother Chen owes you is a matter between you two and has nothing to do with others. Who are you trying to show off by acting like the whole world owes you? Or do you feel that someone is controlling you here and you're not free? Well, now I'll give you freedom. Go wherever you want, and no one will follow you."
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Yelena was stunned: "What does this mean?"
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Jelena, the moment you saw me open my mouth and put all the problems on me, you exhausted all my patience with you. Ilka, let Jelena rest here today and send her away tomorrow morning. From now on, the gates of Orange Garden will never be open to her!"
After hearing this, Ilka hurriedly said, "Boss..."
Xiao Peng waved his hand to interrupt her: "Don't try to persuade me! This is what she wants!"
