Capítulo 25: Sheldon Lied
Martin Scott had no idea that in the afternoon he was in the office thinking about the high price people would pay for making mistakes, and he would face such a difficult problem at night.
When Martin parked the Porsche in the parking space down the street from the apartment, he happened to see Penny trotting back in a sweaty dance outfit.
"Hi! Penny." Martin called out hastily, then looked up and down: "Which boy is so rude? He didn't even give you time to take a shower afterward?"
Penny gasped and clenched her small fist: "It's just dance training!"
Martin closed the car door, walked into the apartment with Penny, went to the mailbox, took out a pile of bills and advertisements, and walked up the stairs.
"My mailbox will always only have ads for bank loans and second-hand store discounts."
Penny couldn't help laughing at herself when she saw the new advertisements in the luxury counter in Martin's hands.
"You're still young, Penny, no one can tell when you'll be prosperous, let alone a beauty like you who is committed to acting..."
Martin's habitual comfort was interrupted by Penny: "Martin, I'm a year older than you..."
"Ok! Your life is over!"
After some teasing greetings, Penny finally asked the question that had been hidden in her heart for a long time face to face.
"Martin, why do you want to live in this apartment? Even the elevator is broken!"
Martin asked back as he walked up: "Do you know why women in Rio de Janeiro are so good?"
"Because they didn't stay in place and scream when they faced the robbery, but pulled out their guns and rushed up to shoot sports against the robbers?"
Brazil's security deserves the ridicule of civilized countries all over the world, even the United States, where shootings are frequent.
Martin shook his head amusingly: "Rio de Janeiro has a big difference in elevation, there may be an altitude difference of more than 100 meters in one street, and people there walk like they are playing a mountaineering machine. "
"Similarly there is Sichuan in China, Norway in Europe..."
Penny pursued her lips: "That's why you can afford a four-thousand-dollar Italian handmade boutique suit?"
Martin did a bodybuilder pose: "I never doubt that a good figure can set off a smart mind!"
After some jokes, Martin explained: "Actually, I first rented this place, when I was just a student... Then Sheldon came back from Europe, he also moved in here, and then Leonard..."
"By the way, do you know how this elevator is broken... Leonard discovered a new type of fuel that is lighter in density but powerful, but chose the wrong place for the experiment... Sheldon The first thing I noticed was wrong, I threw the fuel into the elevator shaft, and then 'Bang!'..."
"Now the police station still has an unfinished case of this apartment elevator bombing. I sneaked in and took a look last time..."
Just chatting like this, the two walked to the floor of their apartment and were about to say hello and parted when they saw Sheldon coming out of the apartment: "Hi! Penny, it's nice to meet you!"
"Huh?" Penny always avoided Sheldon's peculiar brain circuits.
"I have to point out to you that Leonard's previous reason for not going to your Friday night product launch was false. We didn't have a quantum mechanics seminar on Friday night. He lied to you!"
"What did you say?" Penny looked incredible and hurt.
"Yeah, he's actually trying to cover up my embarrassment, I have a cousin named Reed Parker who escaped from rehab and is now hiding in a Long Island motel where our family went on Friday to help him get back into rehab. So, Leonard needs to help me drive..."
God witness! Martin was sure the Coopers never had a relative named Reed Parker!
After all, at the funeral of Sheldon's father, Mr. George Cooper, who died of a heart attack, Martin met all of his family's relatives as his widow and godson.
Sheldon actually lied?
Martin would not miss this good show. He stopped and leaned against the door frame to watch the excitement.
Penny instantly calmed down the anger after being deceived, and turned to be a little... moved?
"You mean Leonard lied to me that there was a seminar on Friday, just to help you cover up the family scandal? I have to say, such behavior is really kind..."
Sheldon was a little nervous and could only let out an unintelligible snort.
Penny looked at Martin again, "Martin, will you go too?"
Martin didn't expect this matter to provoke him at all. Although he was not prepared, he found a suitable reason in an instant when he saw Sheldon winking at him.
"Uh...you know, this is the Cooper's family business. Although I'm Mary's godson, I'm not fit to be involved, and Sheldon didn't tell me..."
Thanks to Rebirth and the Law School for giving him a quick mind!
After exchanging good nights, Martin pulled Sheldon into the apartment, closed the door and asked suspiciously, "What's the trouble with you?"
Just then, Leonard came out wearing a red nightgown: "Martin? Are you back?"
"He's the cause of all this!" Sheldon pointed to Leonard's serious accusation: "Because he didn't want to participate in the press conference on Friday night, Leonard told Penny a bad lie, I Just to make this lie more convincing..."
"Wait..." Leonard looked panicked: "What did you do?"
Sheldon explained the matter from start to finish.
Penny has a stage performance for a product launch this Friday, and she happily invited Leonard and Sheldon, but Leonard didn't want to go, so she made up an excuse for Friday night's physics seminar to decline .
This excuse made Sheldon a little restless, because he felt it was too easy to see through, and it was easy to destroy the good relationship between them and Penny, so he decided to tell a more complete lie.
In this way, the Cooper family added a 21-year-old relative, Reed Parker, who had been wandering in the US military bases in various countries since childhood, was violated by preaching priests, and could only indulge in drugs to escape reality.
To add credibility, Sheldon even made a Facebook page for Reed Parker, full of his photos and some nonsense about the darkness of the world.
Martin turned on the computer and glanced at it curiously: "I remember him. It's the guy from the particle physics department of your school. It seems that he has also learned the theory of stage drama performance..."
"That's why I chose him!" Sheldon looked complacent: "Skinny, decadent, and if necessary, he can show his talent in acting!"
Leonard was stunned: "You mean we're going to Long Island this weekend?"
"Of course not. It's just a safe-haven setting. After all, Penny wouldn't want to follow us to Long Island when she was busy performing, to meet a dangerous person who ran out of a drug rehab center..."
Are you crazy?" Leonard couldn't believe his ears: "That's just an excuse... And you told her face to face that I cheated her!"
"It's a white lie!" Sheldon was very satisfied with his decision: "You just transferred the inner entanglement after lying to yourself in order not to embarrass me because of the family scandal. Judging from Penny's performance just now, Your image is undoubtedly positive."
Martin suppressed a smile and nodded in approval.
Leonard looked at Sheldon speechlessly, then turned to Martin: "Martin, say something!"
"Given that this is the internal affairs of the Cooper family, it is not suitable for me as a foreign surname to participate. After all, a strange relative who is still on drugs will make the Cooper family members feel ashamed in front of outsiders."
Martin spread his hands: "Leonard, if Penny asks, you can say that after you send Sheldon to Long Island, you drink coffee at the coffee shop alone, otherwise it will appear that I am too ruthless..."
"Are you sure you have to do this?"
Leonard had an incredible look on his face. He didn't expect that Martin, who had the highest emotional intelligence and the most secure way of doing things, also booed along with him.
"Otherwise what else can be done..." Martin seemed to have thought of something, and shook his head a little reluctantly.
"You better get this out of the way or you'll see Reed Parker sitting at the apartment table on Saturday morning eating a bacon sandwich!"
Leonard was even more panicked. He didn't expect that just a casual sentence would get such a terrifying result: "How is this possible?"
"Trust me Leonard!"
Martin winked. "Otherwise why do you think Sheldon would pick a guy with theatre experience..."
