"Master, are you awake?"

Yun Lan's eyes moved, and a male voice sounded beside her, speaking in standard English.The head hurts a bit, the original owner seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and gave a soft "hmm", Yun Lan gathered her thoughts, the person who spoke was his butler Le Jie, and he himself was the one who was taken away from the Titanic. Cal Hockley in the green hat.

Seeing him get up, Leger hurriedly went to the table to pour him a glass of water. Karl leaned on the bedside and took the glass and rubbed his aching temples, saying, "Leger, my head hurts, and I want to lie down again." For a while, you go out first, and don't let anyone disturb me for an hour."

Leger answered in a low voice, looked at him, and said hesitantly: "Master, do you want me to call Miss Ruth over? Maybe she has regretted arguing with you now."

Carl waved his hand and said indifferently: "No, I don't want to see her now, remember not to let anyone come in and disturb me within an hour."

Leger retreated respectfully, Karl went down to the bedroom door and locked it, then sat on the bed and practiced exercises.Uh, fortunately, the human body of a foreigner is the same as that of a Chinese. For half an hour, he has practiced the exercises for a small week, opened his eyes and drank a sip of spiritual spring water, and some toxins deposited in his body due to smoking and drinking all year round Everything has been cleaned up, and the whole person is suddenly much lighter.

I sorted out my memory, and now I just boarded the boat, and the quarrel between the original owner and Ruth was not because of any serious matter. In fact, when the two of them rarely agreed with each other when they got along, Ruth firmly believed that the original owner was full of money and did not want to. Accept him, understand him, and the original owner, as the heir of the Hockley family, has his own pride. Even if he likes Ruth's vitality and enthusiasm, he will not go out of his way to please her.

Now that he has transmigrated into Carl, he doesn't want Ruth as his fiancée at all. He is almost on par with Wang Zixuan in "Among the Water and Clouds".Pursuing novelty is not wrong, but forgetting one's own identity and responsibility should not be.Ruth relies on Carl's money to continue to live a noble life. She appreciates Picasso's paintings, but she always dismisses Carl in her heart, thinking that he is a profit-seeking businessman. She is really a contradictory woman.

Carl got up and opened the safe, put the pieces, jewelry, cash, and the most precious heart of the ocean into the space together, and changed the password of the safe.Carl is powerless to complain about Ruth's behavior of randomly leading a poor boy whom she has known for only two days to open the safe to play with the Heart of the Ocean. If she decides to pursue a relationship with Jack, why does she still open Carl's safe with peace of mind?

Looking at the time, it was almost an hour, and Carl remembered that there seemed to be a dinner party in the evening.When he opened the door and saw Leger standing not far away, Karl smiled with satisfaction. This butler is very good and can be cultivated as a confidant.Do as the Romans do, Karl did not do it himself, but asked the maids to change clothes and eat meals. When he wore Haoxiang in the last time and space, he was also served by the maids, so he didn’t feel uncomfortable. He just looked at Yishi It's just a little unaccustomed to the foreign face.

It was almost time for the dinner. Ruth took Ruth's hand and walked slowly to Carl's room. Just as he was about to enter the door, his smile froze on his face. Ruth raised his chin slightly, squinted his eyes and asked arrogantly: "What? What? We're going to dinner with Carl."

The maid bowed her head respectfully and replied: "Hi, madam, please wait for a moment, I'll pass on the information first." After saying that, she saluted and entered the door. Ruth frowned and glanced at Ruth.In the past, when they came to Karl's room, where did they need to communicate?It seems that this time she was very angry, Ruth was too willful.

Ruth felt that her mother was holding her hand slightly, and she also knew that it was to tell her to behave well in front of Karl. She was very annoyed. She and Karl were people in two worlds. She yearned for a free and unrestrained life, but Karl has been adhering to the etiquette of the nobles, and thinking of living with Karl for the rest of her life, she has a premonition that she will go crazy.

Carl is sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper. After decades of staying in the Qing Dynasty, it is really a pleasure to drink such mellow coffee. It is not difficult at all to set up a barrier to surround everyone, so he is not so eager to think of a way to prevent the captain from giving the order to speed up.

He thought that even if he could change everything, after the ship sank, he could save the lives of everyone on board, but the captain and the others had to pay the price, whether it was ruined reputation or condemnation of conscience, They all deserve it.

Hearing the maid's request for instructions, Carl raised his eyebrows, took out the pocket watch in his jacket pocket, and looked at the time. There are still 10 minutes left, and the dinner party is about to start. This mother and daughter really know how to check the time. , Ruth's thinking is very good, she knows Carl's obsession with Ruth, and also knows that men don't cherish things that are too easy to get, so Ruth's indifferent attitude towards Carl is just enough to inspire Carl to conquer.

Karl knew that without him taking action, Ruth would die by herself. At that time, as long as he followed the plot and canceled the engagement at the critical moment, he would be able to get rid of the mother and daughter. There was no need to tear themselves apart with them now.Ask the maid to invite Rufu and Ruth in. Karl is as usual, gentleman and polite.

Seeing Carl's expression, Rufu breathed a sigh of relief, and returned to his arrogant look, expressing his dissatisfaction with the maid's behavior just now.Karl responded occasionally, and when Leger reminded him to go to the restaurant, he took the lead to go to the restaurant.Ruth couldn't tell whether she was happy or disappointed. Carl didn't even look at her. Although Carl's attitude didn't seem to change, she just felt like she was about to lose something.

There was no time for Ruth to think about it. They went to the restaurant and dined with Esme, the owner of the Titanic, Andrew the engineer, and Molly, the noble lady.In the luxury restaurants of first class, all the most important people often get together to eat together.It is not so much a meal as an upper-class way of communication, and often the actual content of this communication is filled with displays of power and wealth.

During the dinner, Esme kept praising every detail of the Titanic, exaggerating about his bold investment and prudent operation. Obviously, the success of the Titanic would allow him to reach the highest level in his life. peak.When Andrew mentioned him in Esme, he only humbly stated that everything was because of Esme's idea that the Titanic came into being.

A mix of occasional compliments, heartfelt exclamations, and meaningless echoes is a common response on such occasions.Ruth sat next to Carl, but felt suffocated.She turned from indifference to disgust towards all of this, but she couldn't leave without reason on such an occasion, it would be rude and ill-bred.However, being rebellious by nature, she would never submit to it without showing any sign, so she casually lit a cigarette of Carl's.

Everyone at the dinner table had mixed reactions, but no one except Molly would appreciate Ruth's impolite behavior. After all, well-educated bachelorettes should not behave like this.Rufu reacted quickly, frowned and approached her and said, "Ruth, you know I don't like this."

Ruth's answer was to blow the entire puff of the cigarette all over Ruth's face.For her uneducated behavior, Karl did not stub out the cigarette like in the original drama, nor did he order food for her, but frowned slightly, showing his due dissatisfaction as her fiancé.Because Carl didn't make the decision for Ruth, Molly didn't challenge him, but changed the subject and asked the name of the boat.

"Oh, yes, I came up with the name Titanic," Esme said, "I want to emphasize the huge size of the ship, which means stability, majesty, luxury, power..."

"Do you know Dr. Freud?" Ruth interrupted Esme suddenly, asking an irrelevant question.Apparently, Esme had no idea who Floyd was, so the question embarrassed him.

"He thinks that men put a lot of emphasis on the size of their genitals .

Esme was stunned, she didn't stand or sit, she was very embarrassed.Molly smiled knowingly. She always hated the hypocrisy of nobles, so she admired Ruth's bold behavior.Everyone at the dinner table turned pale with shock, Rufu hurriedly stopped her daughter from continuing to speak: "What are you doing?"

Ruth stood up, said "excuse me" and left in a hurry.

"I'm really sorry." Rufu apologized stiffly like everyone present.

Carl sat there coldly, expressionless.

"She's got a big temper," Molly said, smiling at Carl, picking up a cherry with a fork. "Hope you can handle it."

Hearing the words of comfort in this sentence, Rufu's face became even uglier. Carl picked up the napkin and wiped the corner of his mouth, and said with a smile: "Ms. Brown is always very enthusiastic. It seems that you like Ruth very much. Maybe you can talk."

Ruth only cared about embarrassing her fiancé, without caring about the reputation of her fiancé and her family, she was a rebellious adolescent girl.I don't know what Molly appreciates about her.

Molly's smile froze. Does Carl mean she's the same as Ruth?Even if she liked Ruth more than these people in her heart, she knew that Ruth's behavior just now was very rude.She knew that these high-class nobles looked down on her, and they were only superficially polite to her, but she also looked down on these so-called nobles. She felt that people should be happy and wanton in life, and bound themselves with various rules like them. People are really tired.

The author has something to say: Speaking of which, isn't Ruth a noble lady?Even if she is dissatisfied with the engagement, shouldn't she behave like this in public?Had she never been involved in aristocratic society while her father was alive?She will only ruin her family's reputation...
