chapter 28 Live life with your tail between your legs

After Penelope decisively hung up the phone on me, I no longer had any illusions about her, and I had to bear the consequences of my sins in the end. In fact, it was completely normal for Penelope not to want to come to the rescue, but it was truly unreasonable for me to threaten her, "Don't let me see her in Suzhou." At a loss what to do, I scratched my head and really wanted to leave the bar. I was unwilling to face Emily and Brian from the bottom of my heart. This unwillingness was just to make myself feel better, but I couldn't escape tonight because Escape only shows that I can't let go of Emily at all. Only ten minutes later, I saw a group of four people walking into the bar. Wesley and Zoey were in front, and Brian and Emily were behind. The four of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards me, but I couldn’t wait to find them. Get in through a crack in the ground. Emily was wearing Chanel fashion and holding a new Hermès bag. She was so dressed in luxury goods that I didn’t dare to look directly at her. I quickly fixed my gaze on Zoey and Wesley, and lit a cigarette to hide my discomfort. Zoey and Wesley sat on the sofa to my left, Emily and Brian sat on the right, and I remained alone in the middle. Wesley and Zoey looked around and asked me in unison: "Where is your girlfriend?" "She's not free tonight, let's play." I responded. Zoey said with an unhappy look on her face: "Don't spoil the fun. Call me again to make an appointment. We'll be fine after a while." I glared at Zoey and said, "Little girl, why are you and I fighting against each other? I said she is busy just because she is busy. Why do you have to be so stubborn?" "Stop talking nonsense, call your girlfriend quickly, let me see what my future siblings look like,"Wesley kicked me and said. Brian answered again and said: "Maxwell, don't be a spoiler. You have squeezed out all the time. Why don't you invite your girlfriend out to have some fun? We are all old faces, so we are not interested in playing." I looked at Emily. At this moment, deliberately keeping a distance from her seemed like I couldn't let go, so I said, "I think it's exciting. Emily and I haven't seen each other for more than three years, and the old faces have become familiar. Right, sister-in-law Emily?" Emily, who had been silent since she came in, looked at me and asked, "What did you call me?" When Emily asked, the chic gesture I had just deliberately made suddenly fell apart. For a moment, I didn't know how to respond to Emily's words. Wesley hurriedly helped me out and said to Emily: "Maxwell is right. Strictly speaking, you are his younger brother and sister. When you and Brian get married, it will be natural for you to change your name." Emily glanced at Wesley and said, "Why are you so excited? Did I say he shouted wrong? I didn't hear clearly just now." Wesley smiled awkwardly, and I remained silent in silence, while Brian held Emily in his arms and said a few words in her ear that no one else could hear, but this intimate gesture made my heart skip a beat. Painful pain. At this time, I finally understood how Xiang Brian felt when Emily and I were together and doing intimate gestures without hesitation. I took a sip of my beer and wanted to leave here. I knew that as long as I still loved Emily, such a gathering would be torture for me. But in the eyes of Brian, even Wesley and Zoey, I I have let go of Emily. After all, more than two years have passed. After all, I have a new "girlfriend". The waiter brought the drinks that Wesley and the others ordered, and a few of them started drinking. Zoey leaned close to me and said softly: "Maxwell, I know you have a girlfriend. Wesley and I are really happy for you. "Originally, we were worried that you wouldn't be able to let go of Emily, but now it seems that our worries are quite unnecessary." There was a bitterness in my heart. At this moment, even if everyone knew that I couldn't let go, what could I do? I might as well keep this lie and reassure my friends. Zoey pushed me in silence and said, "Hurry up and call your girlfriend over and introduce her to us. In the future, you will have another best friend to go shopping with." I forced a smile and said, "Next time, she's really busy today." Zoey looked disappointed At this moment, almost all the eyes in the bar suddenly focused on a figure coming in. She had such a good figure, and her walking posture was even more graceful, but I couldn't see her clearly under the swaying light. face, but this does not prevent me from judging that she is a temperamental beauty. She walked towards me, and the light that had been shaking finally fell on her face. I was so shocked that I almost slipped off the sofa. It was not Penelope who came. Only she has such attraction, attracting so many people. gaze. Penelope noticed me and walked towards me in a graceful manner. I stood up quickly and before she could reach the crowd, I pulled her aside and asked in a low voice, "Why are you here?" "Didn't you say: I don't want you to see me in Suzhou? I'm here to see what the consequences will be if you see me."Penelope looked at me with a half-smile but said. "So, you're here to trouble me, not to help me," I said with a serious look on my face. Penelope looked at me and said: "You are the one who threatens me. How can you say that I am looking for you? Now that I am here, you can do it." I was like a snake pinched seven inches by Penelope. I was afraid that she would dismantle me in front of everyone, so I had to soften my tone and said: "What I said was angry, so don't argue with me, okay?" " Penelope said disdainfully: "Where did the arrogance just go?" "Sister, I was wrong. I will keep my tail between my legs from now on." "Are you begging for mercy?" "right." "Please do it again." I felt powerless in my heart, but I couldn't resist, so I gritted my teeth and said, "I was wrong. I will keep my tail between my legs and be a good person from now on." Over there, Wesley shouted to me: "Maxwell, what are you whispering about? Why don't you introduce your girlfriend to us quickly?" "Just come." I responded and asked Penelope: "Have you calmed down now?" Penelope was silent, as if she was deliberately making me uneasy. Only then did I realize how hard this woman was to be trifled with. I lowered my voice again and said, "You could give me a word." "Remember to buy insecticide powder tomorrow, the cockroaches in the bathroom are as annoying as you are,"Penelope said and walked towards the crowd before me. I didn't react for a while, and then I wondered, was she letting me go to save me from danger? Penelope sat where I just sat and greeted everyone, and I then sat down next to her. Zoey smiled and said to me: "Maxwell, you have good eyesight. Your girlfriend is amazing and beautiful." "That's for sure. We are talented men and women. Let me introduce you formally. This is my girlfriend Penelope." My tone was full of pride, but my heart was full of anxiety. God knows what this unconventional woman was talking about. Heart. "Hello everyone."Penelope smiled and greeted everyone. Wesley, Zoey, and Brian introduced themselves to Penelope in order, and finally Emily. Penelope and Emily looked at each other with the same indifferent expressions, but I couldn't understand the thoughts hidden under their expressions. Jian Wei spoke first: "We met that day." Penelope just nodded. Strictly speaking, she was not the kind of person who was familiar with herself and was a little indifferent in front of strangers. "My name is Emily, I am Maxwell's ex-girlfriend." We are both very open people, so it is not surprising that Emily introduced herself in this way, and besides, there is nothing to hide. If we explain the relationship clearly, we will be more open and honest when we get along with each other in the future. Penelope responded to Emily with a polite smile and said "Hello" without saying anything more, but the atmosphere cooled down because of her indifference. Zoey started to liven up the atmosphere and asked Penelope: "When did you and Maxwell meet? He does a really good job of keeping secrets. We only found out yesterday." I looked at Penelope nervously. If she didn't expose me at this time, then today's uncomfortable party would have been able to get through without any danger. "It's been a while."Penelope answered vaguely, but it was a flawless answer. Zoey smiled and said, "We will leave Maxwell to you from now on. He has a wild temper, so you have to take care of him." Penelope nodded and said: "It needs to be taken care of, his character is a bit bad." Zoey didn't react for a moment. She looked at Penelope and then at me, with a confused expression.
