Winnie wiped her eyes and wondered where she should go.
"Go to Penny's house."
"To Penny's house?"
Oscar's disapproval was clear.
"Yes."
Winnie was sure that she did not say wrong, Oscar did not hear her wrong.
"Now she must know Brian and Gloria had broken up. If you go to her today, she will gloat. Winwin, go there today. Go when you're in a better mood."
Oscar opposed, because Winnie had just experienced pain, and if Penny mocked her, he was afraid that Winnie could not accept it.
"I'm not afraid. Now I need her to scold me and clear my head. She knew all about it, and it is impossible to escape the inevitable gloating. I might as well face it. I might as well take it for one day and be a new man tomorrow."
Winnie really thought so, she got confused by Brian and was not so firm as before. So she needed Penny to scold her.
"Are you sure?"
Oscar still felt wrong.
"I'm sure. Go and give her a chance to be happy."
Winnie was sure, and Oscar changed the direction.
Arriving at Penny’s house, the car stopped. While Winnie did not get off, Oscar said.
"Winwin, I will support you no matter what decision you make about you and Brian. But I have one request. Don't be hard on yourself. Don't dwell on the past."
Oscar's meaning was very clear. He only hoped Winnie follow her heart and be good to herself.
"I see. I've got you worried about me again. Rest assured, I will take care of everything and not embarrass myself."
Oscar's words were warm to Winnie undoubtedly, the trust of friends was more practical.
"Right, Oscar, no matter what harsh words Penny say, let her say it and don’t stop her."
Winnie said. Once Oscar spoke for her, Penny would be angrier. Today she just wanted to let Penny vent her anger, and let herself sober. But the premise was not to provoke Penny, because it was bad for her health.
"Alas...... I see. I see you're a masochist."
Oscar agreed. He knew Winnie was good to Penny. She was kind.
She had not figured her things out yet, but she was worried about others. No one but Winnie could be so kind.
The two then went into the room, as Oscar expected, Penny showed a mocking smile at the moment she saw Winnie.
"Oh, how can you come to me at this hour? Brian was snatched back by you, you should always watch him, or Gloria will snatch him back."
Penny sneered. That Gloria and Brian parted was indeed a happy thing, but she did not want Winnie to be with Brian.
Her only purpose was to stop Winnie from having a good life. And she did not want Winnie to be with Brian.
"I didn't snatch Brian, and he isn't with me."
Winnie said indifferently, she did not care about Penny’s mockery.
"Are you kidding? You must have snatched him in a dirty way. It seems that Gloria is still very simple, not your match."
Penny did not believe what Winnie said, even now they were not together, before long, they would reconcile.
"Winnie, I really don't know what you think. Brian looks down on everything, you can’t control him, why do you cling to him? Don't you know that you are unworthy of Brian?"
Penny said to Winnie with irony. No matter if Winnie and Brian were together or not, speaking like this brought her extreme comfort.
"I know, I know my humble status, I know I don't deserve Brian, so I am not with him."
Winnie answered calmly. She wanted harsh words from Penny to wake her up and to let her see the gap between her and Brian.
"You still don't tell the truth, if you are not with him, why he broke up with Gloria? I hate people like you who say one thing but mean another. Since you did it, admit it."
At this, Penny finally calmed down. She told herself there was no need to get angry, and being moderated might be more effective.
"I want to leave, but I have so much worry. Maybe you can help me find a way out of here."
Winnie gave a wry smile, raising a self-deprecating radian.
She had thought about what Penny said more than a hundred times, but she had not succeeded even once. If she could drop everything, if she could ignore anyone, she'd probably be gone.
"Don't say there is no way. There is always way to do what you want. Either go and become a nun, or jump into the sea and leave this world forever. I don't believe it can’t be solved."
Penny gave her so-called good way.
"Penny, you went to far. Life is given by parents, how can you want Winnie to end her life?"
Oscar finally could not help but speak. Penny was aggressive and did not give an opportunity for Winnie to breathe. It was a kind of harm and it was evil for Penny, a patient.
Oscar could not listen to it, but Winnie did not say a word.
Penny's words were wicked, but it was a solution. If one day she was cornered, if she could not hold on anyone, it was good way to release by becoming a nun or jumping into a sea.
"Well, I accept your offer. If you don't see me for a few days in a row, maybe I may already be a nun. Please visit me often."
Winnie said to Penny with a bitter smile.
She was awakened by Penny’s words, and she had decided to forget Brian at all costs and stay away from him regardless of whether he loved her or not. Otherwise she would end up becoming a nun or jumping into a sea.
Unexpectedly, after hearing Winnie said that, Penny shut her mouth up.
She found Winnie was not right today. She was not sharp today. She did not aggressive, but she had never been so meek.
What was wrong with her today? Was it true that she and Brian were not together?
After leaving the restaurant, Brian went straight to B University. He had to explain to Vanessa.
After contacting Vanessa, Brian waited outside. About half an hour later, Vanessa came out.
