Chapter 8: What a pair of dogs After leaving the suit shop, Peter did not stay in the mall any longer, but went straight to the Broadway Theater. In fact, with his current wealth, he can definitely buy a more expensive suit, not to mention a mere 600 US dollars, even US dollars will do. After all, he robbed Jin Bing's underground casino and took a total of 560 million US dollars from the other party. Now he is a bona fide millionaire. The reason why he didn't do so was that he didn't want to be so ostentatious before his strength was strong enough. If he suddenly bought a very expensive suit, it would be difficult to explain to George Stacy. You have to know that the other party is an old policeman after all. If he were to see him, he would definitely doubt himself, and that's not what he wants to see. As I said, before he becomes strong enough, he must be cautious again and again. Only in this way can he live longer. As he thought this, he walked towards the theater, and at this moment a sweet voice sounded beside him. "Handsome guy, would you like to buy some roses? Today is Valentine's Day! Buy some for your girlfriend!" A pretty white beauty looked at Peter with her big round eyes and said.
In her hands she was holding a flower basket filled with roses of various colors, which looked very beautiful. "Valentine's Day?" Peter was not very interested in the roses in the woman's hand. Instead, he was a little surprised when he heard the word Valentine's Day. If the woman in front of him hadn't told him, he really wouldn't have known that today was Valentine's Day. No wonder Gwen and the others had a performance. Wait, on Valentine's Day night, Gwen actually invited me to watch her performance. The deep meaning behind this can't help but make me think about it! "Yes, today is Valentine's Day. On this day, boys give roses to their beloved girls, so that they can have a beautiful love." The woman tried hard to sell. Hearing this, Peter smacked his lips and said, "Does a boy have to give it to a girl? Can't a girl give it to a boy?" "It's not impossible, but the situation you mentioned is relatively rare. If a boy really thinks this way, he probably won't have a girlfriend." "Really? It seems that the world still has a long way to go in achieving gender equality!" Peter muttered softly. "Sir, are you also going to wait for a girl to give it to you?" Hearing what Peter said, the woman looked at him curiously and asked. "No, no, I'm a man, not a boy, so give me ten, thank you!" Peter said as he took out $100 from his pocket. "Sir, you are so humorous. I'm sure there are many women who like you?" Seeing Peter take out $100, the woman couldn't help but be overjoyed. "On the contrary, I am a poor creature that no one loves. Beauty, I think you will not refuse a rose from a poor person like me, right?" After Peter took 10 red roses from the woman's hand, he actually took one and gave it to her. The woman didn't expect that Peter would actually give her a rose. She immediately smiled and was very happy to be teased by Peter. "Sir, thank you for the flowers!" The woman did not refuse, but happily took the flowers from Peter. After all, being given flowers by men is always a face-saving thing for women. "You're welcome. Let's get up together sometime." Peter gave the flower girl a wicked smile, and without waiting for her reaction, he took the remaining nine roses and continued walking towards the Broadway Theater.
However, before he could enter the theater, a group of people walked out of the theater. Apparently the performance had ended and it was time to disband. Seeing this, Peter couldn't help but sigh. This was the first time a woman took the initiative to ask him out to a show, but he was late. What a mess! In this way, he could already imagine how angry Gwen would be when he saw her. At this moment, four beautiful figures appeared in his sight. Among these four figures, there were two that he was quite familiar with. These two figures were none other than Gwen and Mary Jane. Yes, the four figures that appeared in front of him at this moment were the four members of the Mary Janes band. They are Mary Jane Watson, Betty Brant and Gloria Grant, and Gwen Stacy. In addition to them, there was a tall and handsome man next to Mary Jane. That man was her good friend from college - Harry Osborn. When he saw them, the five of them also saw him, and suddenly their expressions became different. Gwen frowned slightly and pouted her red lips, obviously angry because Peter did not arrive at the theater on time. However, Mary Jane and Harry showed embarrassment on their faces. After all, the two of them can be together thanks to Peter, the tool man! At this moment, Mary Jane felt a little embarrassed, but there was also a hint of surprise in her eyes. Because in her impression, Peter has always been a big boy full of loser temperament. He is thin, looks mediocre and of average height. Apart from being able to read, she has basically no outstanding qualities. It is precisely because of this that she did not accept Peter's pursuit. But the Peter who appeared in front of her at this moment seemed like a different person. He had grown taller, stronger, and even looked much more handsome. Peter, dressed in a black suit, has an outstanding temperament and looks like a rich young man. Clothes make the man, and gold makes the Buddha. This saying is absolutely true, and it is well demonstrated in Peter's life at this moment. "Hi, Peter, long time no see!" Seeing Peter, Harry Osborn suppressed his embarrassment and took the initiative to step forward and greet Peter. As Peter's former best friend, he clearly understood what it meant for him to be with Mary Jane. As the saying goes, one should not cheat on a friend's wife. He was naturally very clear about this truth, although Mary Jane was not Peter's girlfriend before. But it was an indisputable fact that Peter once liked Mary Jane, and he was well aware of it. But under this premise, he got together with Mary Jane, which was undoubtedly a great harm to Peter. It was also from that time that Peter deliberately distanced himself from him, and the interactions between the two became less and less. He knew he was in the wrong about this matter, so he was too embarrassed to take the initiative to find Peter. The last time they met was at Aunt May's funeral a few days ago, but the circumstances were special at the time and Peter was too busy to care about others, so he didn't go up to disturb her. And he also knew clearly that the relationship between him and Peter would never return to the state it was before. But since we've met, you still have to say hello. After all, this is basic etiquette as a gentleman. When he saw Harry and Mary Jane again, Peter was surprisingly calm. After all, he was not the real Peter Parker. At this moment, he was indifferent and grateful.
He was glad that Peter had not gone with her, or he would have been miserable. A green tea bitch. It would be a tragedy if you really get together with such a woman! Now that the other party had nothing to do with him, he naturally felt fortunate. So instead of being angry, he was very fortunate. He even hoped that the two of them could be locked together forever and not go out and harm other people. "It's actually quite good not to see each other, Mr. Harry Osborn!" Peter glanced at Harry and said calmly. Although Peter didn't have any strong feelings towards the two of them, he knew he couldn't be nice to them. He is not a saint, there is no need to pretend to be noble! After hearing what Peter said, the embarrassment on Harry and Mary Jane's faces became more intense, but Peter ignored them. Instead, he walked up to Gwen with nine beautiful roses, then smiled and said, "Your performance costume is so beautiful, like a fairy. You are so dazzling that I can't open my eyes." As Peter spoke, he made an exaggerated gesture of covering his eyes, which looked a bit funny and a bit rogue. Gwen was still angry about Peter's absence and wanted to tear him apart. After all, that was the first time in her life that she took the initiative to invite a boy to watch her performance. But the other party was late. No, not late, he completely stood her up and didn't show up at all. This was really too much. She had already thought about how to teach Peter a lesson, but now she saw Peter's shameless look. Listening to the other party's sweet words, the anger in her heart disappeared instantly, and she now wanted to laugh. "Don't think I'll forgive you just because you say something nice. I'm not done with you unless you treat me to a good meal." "Of course, no problem. I've actually already booked a restaurant, and I'm coming here just to pick you up and apologize to you. These nine roses are for you. I hope you like them and forgive me. I really did run into a little emergency." Looking at the roses Peter handed to her, Gwen felt sweet in her heart. Her previous anger completely disappeared and her eyes curved into crescents with a smile. "That's good enough. I forgive you, but this won't happen again!" Gwen took the roses that Peter gave her. Then she took Peter's hand and turned to her teammates and said, "Sisters, I'm leaving first. Happy Valentine's Day!" Having said that, she ignored their expressions and happily took Peter away. Looking at Peter who hadn't said a word to her from beginning to end, Mary Jane felt complicated. A mixture of discomfort, unbearableness, and anger made her frown. You know, Peter used to always be around her, but now he didn't even bother to say hello when he saw her. The contrast was so great that she couldn't accept it for a while. As if he could see her bad mood, Harry Osborn took her hand and said with a smile, "Mary, today is Valentine's Day. I have reserved a table at the restaurant. Let's go celebrate!" Hearing this, Mary Jane rubbed her brows and showed a look of discomfort. "Harry, I'm sorry, I feel a little unwell today. I want to go home and rest. Sorry!" Seeing that Mary Jane actually rejected him, Harry Osborn's face couldn't help but look a little ugly. Because this was the first time Mary Jane refused his invitation, and you know, Mary Jane was very obedient in the past. She was always around him, fearing that something might happen between him and other women.
But now the other party actually refused the request to have dinner with me. You know, today is Valentine's Day! On this special day, my girlfriend is so disrespectful to me. No one would be happy. He knew without much ado that the reason for all this was Peter Parker who had just appeared in front of them. It's funny to say that Peter used to be like a lapdog, always around her, asking her about her well-being every day. But she was able to turn a blind eye and not take other people's concern to heart at all. Instead, she kept showing him her affection. It was because of this that he ignored his friendship with Peter and chose to be with her despite the world's condemnation. But now Peter ignored her and was indifferent to her, but she started to take it seriously and was still unhappy. It would be fine if she was just unhappy, but she actually refused to have dinner with her boyfriend. This is so shameless and completely unreasonable. "You seemed to be in good spirits when you were performing just now. Why do you feel uncomfortable after seeing Peter Parker?" Harry said coldly. "Harry, what do you mean? Do I need to pick a special time to tell whether I'm feeling well or not?" Mary Jane frowned and said angrily. "I never said that. You know whether you are really uncomfortable or not, so I won't say anything. But I have already booked the restaurant, so I definitely can’t cancel it. Since you don’t want to go, I’ll go by myself. By the way, your route home is exactly the opposite of my route to the restaurant, so I can’t take you home, you can take a taxi yourself! ” Harry is not Peter. He has lived in an extremely affluent environment since he was a child and is an out-and-out rich second generation. He has never lacked women. If he wants a woman, he only needs to snap his fingers and countless women will throw themselves into his arms. Therefore, when it comes to dealing with issues concerning relationships between men and women, he has always been overbearing and particularly resourceful. Since the Mary Jane in front of me doesn't know what's good for me, let's just change her. To him, a woman is nothing more than a piece of clothing that he can change whenever he wants. The so-called true love does not exist for him, otherwise he would not have been involved with Mary Jane. After saying that, Harry stopped paying attention to Mary Jane and turned around to walk towards his luxury car. Seeing that Harry was really angry, Mary Jane was shocked and immediately showed a smile that was uglier than crying on her face. "Harry, I...I don't mean that. Let me explain." Mary Jane immediately caught up with Harry and kept apologizing and making peace with him, because she knew that everything she had now was given to her by Harry. She couldn't leave Harry. Once she left him, her dream of becoming a star would be shattered. (End of this chapter)
