Chapter 658 Young people now know more
Xiao Peng was considering whether or not he should give this nonsense kid a beating, but Felix said seriously, "Master, I'm not kidding. You said you're still the same person, but is that really the case? Your appearance hasn't changed, but your conversation, your confidence, your clothing style, your attitude, and so on have all changed dramatically. Do you think you're still the same as before?"
Bo Ke nodded aside: "Mr. Xiao, I think Felix is right. I don't know what you were like before, but I remember when we first met."
"First time meeting?" Xiao Peng was stunned. "That shouldn't be a beautiful memory for you, right?"
The first time they met, Xiao Peng beat up Bo Ke and others. He didn't understand why Bo Ke suddenly brought up this matter.
Bo Ke explained: "Mr. Xiao, we didn't actually faint after you beat us up that day. We pretended to faint. We all got up after you left."
Xiao Peng whistled: "As expected of someone in the entertainment industry, his acting is pretty good!"
"Yeah, how could you not act like a corpse all day long?" Boko said, coughing dryly. "That's not what I want to talk about. What I want to talk about is why we pretended to be unconscious that day. In fact, we fight often, but we always consider the consequences before we start. You don't have such concerns at all. That relaxed feeling is what makes us feel terrified from the bottom of our hearts. We knew then that this person is not someone we can afford to offend."
Xiao Peng was a little embarrassed. Why did he beat someone up then? On the one hand, he felt that his life had been suffocating, and on the other hand, it was because Pascal was with him, and if anything went wrong, Pascal would take the blame.
However, he took Boko's words to heart. Yes, people always say that they have not changed and are still themselves, but nothing in this world is unchanging, especially people.
Before I went abroad, I wasn't all about drinking champagne, eating steak, and going to nightclubs, but now I'm like that, too! I say I haven't changed, but after returning to China and traveling around, I can clearly see a huge difference from my former classmates.
He could not deny that he had in fact changed dramatically.
Felix continued, "Master, my therapist actually said that people like us are too sensitive, too extreme, and too self-centered. You're being a bit extreme right now. According to you, no one in the world should get married: there's no perfect person in the world. Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. You can't just focus on your own weaknesses and ignore your own strengths, and you can't just magnify someone else's weaknesses and ignore their strengths."
Xiao Peng nodded repeatedly after hearing this. After a while, he came back to his senses and said, "Are you teaching me a lesson?"
Felix said, "Master, you told me there's a saying in China: 'Those involved are often confused, while those who observe clearly see clearly.' Master, if I were a woman, I think I'd like you, too. You have so many strengths: you're responsible; you have absolute dominance in your field; you're well-versed and not rigid; and your appearance is quite exotic... Let me put it bluntly. Who were the people you associated with when you were broke? It's what you told me: the more you lack something, the more you want it. When you were broke, you were bound to be surrounded by people who were also broke, and everyone was focused on making money. So do the people around you still value money so much? And yet you insist on hanging out with those speeding hooligans every day, and the girls you hang out with are, of course, the type who prioritize money above all else. So, my conclusion is: your current distrust of women is self-inflicted!"
Xiao Peng was confused and turned to Bo Ke and said, "Bo Ke, did I hear correctly? Is this what a teenager said?"
Bo Ke said, "Mr. Xiao, believe me, the children nowadays know more than we did."
Xiao Peng asked Felix, "You're just talking nonsense! Come on, you just said it was a 'women's war', so tell me how you figured it out? I can accept you talking about your sister, but you talking about Abby? I only met her yesterday, and we didn't get along that well at first."
After that, he told Felix what happened yesterday.
After hearing this, Felix said to Boko with a smug look on his face: "Boko, am I right?"
Boko nodded.
Xiao Peng asked in confusion, "What are you talking about?"
Felix said, "Master, I just said you were responsible. You've directly proved that I was right. Wasn't that kick you gave his father yesterday a manifestation of your responsibility?"
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded. "Isn't this what every man should do? It's just a brave act, why get so excited? Any Chinese man would do the same if he had the ability, right?"
Felix shook his head: "No, no, no, ordinary people would just stand by and watch."
"Why?" Xiao Peng expressed his confusion.
Felix explained, "If this happened to us? His father would sue us until we're bankrupt! Only the police have the right to arrest criminals. If you're not a police officer and you cause William any harm, you'll be held legally responsible. So things like this don't usually happen here."
Xiao Peng suddenly realized: "Did she misunderstand something?"
Felix propped his chin up in his hand and pretended to be experienced. "It's about her upbringing. She also grew up without parental love, right?"
This question stumped Xiao Peng, it seemed to be true!
He was thinking, then turned around and saw Felix trying to hold back his laughter. He was furious. "Damn, you said I was talking so logically, but now the question is, what about your 'girlfriend'? You were talking about me like a relationship expert, but why are you like this when it comes to you?"
When Felix heard the word "girlfriend", the smug expression on his face froze instantly. He coughed twice and said, "Master, my problem is solved."
Xiao Peng grinned: "Oh? How did you solve it?"
Felix looked like he was about to cry: "Master, why do you think I'm so familiar with what the psychiatrist says? I've been to the psychiatrist several times!"
Xiao Peng shook his head. Kids these days are so fragile. He had a lot of problems as a kid, too, but he still lives shamelessly until now. He was about to speak when he suddenly said "Ouch!" and looked at the stairs.
Felix and Boco both looked up in shock. Marlene, her face covered in a pitch-black mask, came running out. "By the way, Xiao, did you know that Dr. Van Vobeck has another identity?"
