Chapter 642: Knock him out again?
"I didn't realize you were so strong!" The woman opened the door and said, "Just put him on the sofa!"
Xiao Peng felt helpless after hearing this. That wretched old man... bah, this woman's father weighed at least 200 pounds, and Xiao Peng had to carry him back like a princess.
This is a big mistake.
Xiao Peng put the old man on the sofa and looked at him carefully: "Are you sure this is your biological father?"
"What do you mean?" The woman was taking off her coat and frowned when she heard Xiao Peng's words.
Xiao Peng shook his head and said, "Not really. The two of you standing together are a classic 'Beauty and the Beast'."
The woman burst out laughing after hearing this. "He was handsome when he was young, too. He only becomes like this now that he's older."
After hearing this, Xiao Peng sighed and said, "Time is a butcher's knife. No one can escape it. Is he really okay? Otherwise, I should call a doctor."
"No, I'm a doctor at the Bétiers-Salpétiers Hospital." The woman extended her hand to Xiao Peng. "Eniuk van Vobeek, my friends call me 'Abby'. I apologize again for what happened today."
Now it was Xiao Peng's turn to feel embarrassed. "No, no, no, I'm the one who should apologize for what happened... I didn't know this was your father. Abby, why doesn't your name sound French to me?"
"You mean my last name?" Abby said, "That's my stepfather's last name. He's Dutch. But my mother is a true Parisian. I was born and raised in Paris."
Xiao Peng looked at the person lying on the sofa and suddenly realized: "Oh, this is your stepfather. No wonder you don't look alike."
"This is my biological father." Abby said.
Xiao Peng felt a little embarrassed and quickly changed the subject: "How can a French doctor live in such a nice house?"
There are only four apartments on the 51st floor of France’s first tourist building, and the prices are sky-high!
"Don't you live here too?" Abby asked. "What would you like to drink? How about light beer?"
"Have a bottle," Xiao Peng said. "Actually, I want to leave. It's a bit too awkward here. But after all, the way he treated you just now... I'm afraid he'll do something bad to you when he wakes up."
Abby was stunned after hearing this: "Bad for me? Why?"
Xiao Peng thought for a moment and said, "Didn't he come to ask you for money because he saw that you were doing well?"
Abby chuckled. "You're overthinking things. In fact, this house is his asset. He gave it to my mother."
"Him!" Xiao Peng looked at the wretched old man on the ground. He didn't look like a rich man at all. In Europe, people paid a lot of attention to appearance, and unless they were extremely poor, they would pay attention to their clothes. But this old man...
Isn't that too uncouth?
Xiao Peng waved his hand. "Abby, stop taking the beer! You're just embarrassing yourself here. Um...if your father has any problems, please feel free to contact me. I won't shirk my responsibilities."
"Okay, then I won't keep you. Thank you for carrying my father up." Abby said.
Xiao Peng fled in shame.
This time it was really embarrassing. He finally managed to be a hero and save the girl, but ended up beating up the girl's father! If he had known this would happen, he would have gone with Shao Feng to fool around and never come back...
The slap in the face came too quickly. Today he was still laughing at Abby for taking things for granted, and tonight he made the same mistake. He felt like a clown.
Xiao Peng was so depressed that he washed up and went straight to sleep. He didn't know how long he had slept when the doorbell woke him up. He habitually put on his black-framed glasses and checked his watch. Damn, it was only eleven o'clock! He had only slept for a few hours!
He climbed out of bed, put on his pajamas, and went to open the door sleepily. He thought it was Shao Feng, so he yawned and shouted, "What are you doing back so early, you bastard? Did you stay up all night? Didn't I tell you the password?"
But when he opened the door and saw who was outside, he instantly came to his senses: "Is it you?"
The person who came was none other than the 'dirty old man' that Xiao Peng kicked away yesterday. He still looked as disgusting as ever, but there was a large bruise on his head: white people have thin skin, so even the slightest injury would look exaggerated, not to mention that the blow yesterday was indeed quite serious.
The old man looked at Xiao Peng and said, "It seems you know me!"
Xiao Peng spread his hands and said, "I know your head. Are you okay? I'm sorry about what happened yesterday!"
After hearing this, the old man said, "It's okay, it's okay. I came here to thank you!"
"Ah?" Xiao Peng looked at the wound on the old man's head and asked, "Is your head really okay?"
Xiao Peng was a little confused. I beat you up, why are you still thanking me?
The old man looked at Xiao Peng's expression and explained, "Yesterday I was finally able to go to my daughter's house and see how she lives."
Xiao Peng curled his lips: "Don't give me that! Amy said that you gave this house to her mother."
"Yes, but I've never been here before." The old man said, "Are we just going to stand here at the door and chat? Why don't you invite me in and sit down?"
After hearing this, Xiao Peng opened the door and said, "Please come in."
"Is there anything to eat?" the old man said, "Amy went to work, and I don't think there's anything that can be considered food at home!"
Xiao Peng's face was filled with black lines: "I don't know whose house this has reached! Forget it, you are injured and the boss is here! I'll call them and ask them to send some up."
But the old man said, "Hey, young man, since you hurt me, it's not too much to ask you to go to the kitchen and make me something to eat, right?"
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "Isn't this too much?"
"Don't you know how to cook?" the old man asked to provoke him.
"Provocation?" Xiao Peng snorted coldly, "Do you think I'll fall for it? Well, I do. After all, my parents are chefs. Wait here for me, but let me be frank, there aren't many ingredients in the fridge. A grand feast is out of the question. Just some simple meals!"
"That would be great!" the old man said. "Where is the wine cabinet?"
Xiao Peng was completely confused: "What did you say?"
The old man suddenly covered his head with his hands, a look of pain on his face: "Oh my, my head hurts. Maybe the injury last night was too severe..."
Xiao Peng pointed to the side; "The wine cabinet is over there, go get it yourself!"
He was convinced. What was this? Did the heart reflect the appearance? He was absolutely right to call him a 'sleazy old man'! Was this something a human would do?
Alas, who made me hurt him by mistake? I can bear it!
I opened the refrigerator and looked inside. There was a steak, eggs, potatoes, spinach, tomatoes, and even a few shrimp. Okay, let's have scrambled eggs with tomatoes, a beef stew with potatoes, and a scrambled egg with shrimp. And let's not waste the spinach, let's make spinach soup. Three dishes and one soup for two people, right?
"Is the meal ready? I'm starving!" The voice of the wretched old man came from the living room.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng hesitated for a long time with the pot in his hand, wondering whether he should knock him out again.
