"Excuse me, Miss Roberts." Smith smiled gently, he and Xu Nian nodded, and raised their hands to signal Xu Nian to sit down.

Xu Nian and Carl found a seat and sat down, "Captain Smith, if the Titanic is moving at full speed, if there is any unexpected situation, can she turn the rudder in time to avoid it?"

Esme next to her smiled and said to Xu Nian, "Don't worry, Miss Roberts, the Titanic is the strongest ship in the world, even God cannot sink her."

Smith looked at Xu Nian with a smile, obviously he thought the same way, although Xu Nian's question just now made him feel a little worried, but after hearing Esme's words, he put his heart back into his stomach again.

Xu Nian could see that they were determined to move forward at full speed, for their own selfish desires, for the pursuit of fame and fortune, regardless of the safety of the entire ship.

Xu Nianhe and the two nodded in greeting, then got up and left, saying anything else would be superfluous, asking too many questions, people thought she was hoping for an accident on the ship?

"Kate, don't worry, there will be no problems with the Titanic," Carl said with a smile, "I also have a transmitter there, if you need it, you can come to me."

Xu Nian passed by Ruth's mother, Rose. She was drinking afternoon tea with the ladies around her, bragging that she was about to successfully marry her daughter into a wealthy family, and explaining her argument, "The purpose of going to college is to find a personality. Ruyi Langjun, Ruth is a model of success."

The rest of the people agreed, they had the same outlook on life and values, so it was easy to talk, seeing Mrs. Jasmine walking over, they were very disdainful to be with her, because Jasmine's husband was an upstart who opened a gold mine, In their view, such a person, no matter how rich he is, does not have the upbringing and etiquette of a high-class person.

On the way back, Xu Nian told Carl his guess. At the beginning, Carl was just smiling, but later on, his expression became serious. The steel used on the Titanic was basically produced by his family. An accident on the ship caused a large number of casualties, which would be a devastating blow to the Hockley family. He also had to communicate with his father and make an emergency plan.

Ruth went to Jack and thanked him, not only for saving her life, but also for keeping her secret. If others knew that she committed suicide in order to avoid her engagement with Carl, then the Hockley family and the Bruce The Ketter family will be ashamed because of her, and the Hockley family will be greatly offended.

The two were enjoying the sea breeze on the deck, basking in the sun, and chatting slowly. Ruth found that Jack was a very talented painter, and the two chatted happily. Life, she envied Jack's life.

She complained to Jack: "I, I really can't explain it in words. My living environment, the people around me, and the compromise with my fate, everything is forcing me, but I am powerless to resist and unable to change."

Jack knew she was engaged. For Ruth who was like a trapped animal at the moment, he asked Ruth a question, "Do you love him?"

Ruth reprimanded him for being unreasonable, but she knew in her heart that all her resistance and dissatisfaction in her heart were because she didn't love Carl at all, but she and her mother needed someone like Carl to rely on.

At dinner time, the restaurant of the first-class cabin was full of passengers. There was melodious violin music playing in the restaurant, which was relaxing and joyful. Everyone was dressed in gorgeous clothes and behaved elegantly. They greeted each other and nodded with smiles.

The oval table was full of people, Xu Nian was sitting opposite Carl, she was dining elegantly, Ruth brought Jack, Jack was wearing a black tuxedo provided by Madam Jasmine, his blond hair was combed back, and he was using pomade He is meticulous in grooming, his facial features are exquisite, his sea blue eyes are deep and charming, when he smiles, the corners of his mouth are curled up, giving people a handsome feeling, he is really a very charming man.

Rose was extremely displeased with Jack's appearance, and revealed Jack's identity as soon as she came up. She deliberately embarrassed Jack, "Mr. Dawson, tell us what the lower class is like? I listen to them Said it was pretty good."

Jack is an optimistic artist by nature. He doesn't feel humbled and embarrassed because he is a passenger in the lower class. He generously shares his feelings with everyone, "It's the best place I've ever lived, ma'am, and there are no rats." .”

It made everyone laugh, and Xu Nian was also amused by Jack's self-mockery. Carl's gaze stayed on Xu Nian, which made Xu Nian a little uncomfortable. She glanced at Carl, and Carl turned his head away. Xu Nian saw With the tips of his reddish ears, he knew in his heart that this guy has a fiancée and dares to like him.

Seeing Xu Nian's appreciation for Jack, Carl explained to everyone, "Mr. Dawson is a third-class passenger. He helped Ruth last night, so I invited him to have dinner with us."

Hearing Carl's introduction of Jack in this way, Ruth became uneasy. She hurriedly explained to everyone, "Mr. Dawson is an excellent painter. I saw some of his works today, and they are really good."

Carl also stopped targeting Jack. He and Ruth confronted each other, as if he was jealous of Ruth, so he deliberately targeted Jack. In fact, he was just upset about Xu Nian's appreciation for Jack.

At the dinner table, Ruth kept reminding Jack of dining etiquette, and Madam Jasmine sat beside Jack, teaching him in a low voice.

The chief designer of the Titanic, Thomas Andrew, was also at this table. Everyone praised his talent. Xu Nian picked up the red wine in front of him, took a sip, and sipped it slowly.

Rose didn't seem to want to let Jack go, she took a bite of the shortbread with caviar, "Mr. Dawson, where is your home?"

Jack replied frankly: "At present, my family is on the Titanic. After that, I will obey God's will and be my home everywhere."

"Where do you get the money to travel?"

"I work everywhere and run cargo ships from time to time. That's about it. However, I won the ticket for the Titanic by gambling. It all depends on a good hand." When Jack said these, his face was excited and proud.

Archie echoed, "Life is a gamble of luck."

Carl took a sip of champagne, he glanced at Xu Nian, "You should control your fate in your own hands."

Seeing that none of her questions embarrass Jack, Rose sees Jack and continues to ask: "Do you like this kind of wandering life without a fixed place?"

Xu Nian hated this kind of behavior, relying on belittling others to elevate himself, as if he was superior to others.

Such a slap in the face made the smile disappear on Jack's face, but he still said, "Yes, ma'am, I like it. I have everything I want now. I have a healthy body and a picture. I use paper. I like to wake up in the morning and face the unknown. I don’t know who I will meet? I don’t know where I will go?”

Jack took a piece of bread and took two bites, "I slept under the flyover two nights ago, but now, I boarded this luxury cruise ship and drank champagne with you classy people, life is God Gifts, I don’t want to waste my time, God’s will is unpredictable, the world is unpredictable, live with the situation, cherish life, and enjoy every day.”

Xu Nian felt that he admired Jack more and more. This is a person who always knows what he wants. He pursues the art in his heart. He lives clearly, contentedly, and grateful.

Every time Xu Nian comes to a new world, no matter how powerful her abilities are, she never thinks of changing the rules that everyone has always followed. She will adapt, but will not compromise. The formation of any rule cannot be achieved overnight. , the rules made under a powerful power will eventually be replaced by another powerful power.

Madam Molly looked at Jack and said, "Well said, Jack!"

Everyone toasted, drinking a glass for this sentence, "Enjoy every day!"

After dinner, the men had their common topics, went together for a glass of brandy, told their own business stories, and complimented each other.Xu Nian got up and went back. Moore said that his father had received her request and had sent a boat to pick her up to reassure her.

Lying on the bed, thinking about the scene she saw when she left, she saw Jack stuff a small note into Ruth's hand, and Ruth left after taking the note.

While having breakfast in the morning, Wei Na gossiped with her, "Miss, I heard from the waitress next door that Mr. Hockley had a quarrel with his fiancee because Miss Bucket went to the third class with a man last night. Dancing, frolicking, drinking, and cuddling with that man, messed up, came back late, was seen by Spicer, so the two had a big fight in the morning, and even said the word of canceling the engagement .”

"Don't worry about them, that's their own business, arrange our salutes, the boat sent by my father will arrive in two days, please let Moore pay attention at all times", Xu Nian told Wei Na while drinking orange juice.

She felt that Karl had a strange feeling for her, but Xu Nian didn't have time to think about it. She wanted to save her own life first, and it was best to save as many people on board as possible.

Rose was very angry about the fact that Ruth angered Carl and made Carl tell Carl to cancel the engagement. She asked Ruth to apologize to Carl and was not allowed to see Jack again in the future. Ruth didn't care. Said, "This is no joke, we are in danger, you know our family is bankrupt, we have no money."

"Why don't you know, you remind me every day?" Ruth looked at her mother Rose, her eyes full of grief and indignation.

"Aside from debts and titles, your father left us nothing. Titles are the only thing we rely on. I really don't understand you. You and Hockley are a match made in heaven, so that our lives can be guaranteed." Rose whispered to Rose and analyzed again.

"Mother, how can you let me bear all this?" Ruth was dissatisfied with such a marionette-like life, which made her almost suffocate.

"Why are you so selfish?" Rose asked Ruth.

Ruth was even angrier, and she asked back, "Am I selfish?"

Rose knew that she couldn't provoke Ruth, and if Ruth was provoked to ignore her, what she would do, Rose really couldn't imagine, she calmed down, looked at Ruth pleadingly and said: "You Do you have the heart to let me work as a female worker to support the family? Do you want that? I sold my property and had nothing, and watched the glorious days pass away like this.”

At this point, she turned around and covered her mouth, and cried silently. Ruth compromised, she decided to obey her mother, apologize to Carl, and decided not to see Jack again, but her heart was so painful.
