Fisher's eyes were disgusted and disdainful, and his face was full of disdain.

During this period, European aristocrats generally looked down on wealthy people who did not have noble blood, calling them nouveau riche.

Originally, she thought that Ada would answer, after all, they had a good conversation before.

Unexpectedly, Ida smiled and stood up, turned around and walked towards Russell and Mrs. Brown.

"Hello, is this Mr. Walker?"

"Yes, you are Madame Strauss?"

Ada smiled and said, "Yes, you are really observant, Isidore was very happy when he went back last night, and talked to me about you, saying that you are a very gentlemanly and capable young man, and this is indeed the case today." ”

In front of the coffee table, Fisher only felt that his face was like a steam oven, and his pores were like exhaust fans opening quickly, and he silently turned his head and stopped paying attention.

"Thank you Mr. Isidore for the compliment, maybe I'm not as good as he says, but I'm definitely a young man."

Ida covered her mouth and smiled, "Sure enough, as Isidore said, Mr. Walker, you must be very likable to girls." ”

"Who likes girls?"

At the door, Isidore and Astor and his little wife Madeleine approached.

The three of them walked up to Russell and greeted Mrs. Brown before turning to look at Russell.

"Why didn't you live in first class? Isido and I wanted to talk to you to relieve our boredom. ”

Russell laughed and said, "You guys are hungry......"

"Oh! We have been praising you, Mr. Walker, but you have told the secrets between our men to their faces. Isidore said.

Ida took him by the arm and glanced at him, "I smelled cigarettes on your coat last night, do you have any other secrets in my eyes?" ”

Isidore spread his hands helplessly, "Of course not, you found out all of them." ”

"Walker, this is my wife, Madeleine."

“……”

Fisher, hearing their familiar conversation, felt more and more dull and awkward.

She was about to get up and leave, but she didn't expect to be saved by a very polite and respectful word.

"Countess Rossius, a noble nobleman in decline, please stay."

Russell's voice was very loud, and the celebrities and aristocrats who were chatting around him turned their heads one after another.

Fisher's footsteps froze, and when people looked at her, she only felt her face burn.

Turning his neck slowly, he asked, "What's the matter?" ”

Russell smiled and said, "May I ask the noble countess, would she like to share lunch with a poor man like me?" Oh! Although I am poor, you seem to have the same wealth as I do. No! You have a lot of debts to pay off, and I seem to be richer than you! ”

Mrs. Brown next to her looked stunned and stared blankly at Russell.

Astor and his little wife smiled when they heard this, while the Strauss looked at each other......

The surrounding nobles and celebrities were more like being bombarded by shells, and the originally quiet café suddenly sounded noisy whispers.

"Oh, this gentleman calls himself poor? However, he wore a high-end French handmade suit, and even the leather shoes were the work of high-class Italian craftsmen. ”

"When did the Countess offend him? Everyone belongs to the upper social circle, as for tearing their faces. ”

"Fisher was very contemptuous of him just now, saying that Captain Smith could not have invited him to a Turkish bath, because it was a water park for children."

"Hehe, the countess is really open-mouthed, there are so many guests living in the first class, there is always something she can't afford to offend."

"This young man is too cautious, what is he arguing with a noblewoman?"

"If you don't argue, can you be a young man?"

Fisher listened to the crowd's discussions, his face turned red, and he longed to find a crack in the ground to get into.

The most important thing for nobles is face, if the face is lost, it is like a girl running naked on the street......

Mrs. Brown didn't expect Russell to have such a big temper, she thought that if Astor and Isidore intervened to change the subject, Russell would forget about it.

Unexpectedly, he directly lifted the last fig leaf of Countess Rosis and her family.

Although most of the first-class passengers knew about her family's situation, no one wanted to fight her, even if she was a declining nobleman.

The most valuable thing of a declining aristocrat is blood.

Why did many of the emerging aristocrats in Europe at this time rush to marry the declining aristocracy? The reason is simple, the declining aristocracy has nothing but blood, while the emerging aristocracy has everything but blood.

Because of this, Fisher is desperate for Ruth to marry Carl, who is greedy for wealth and a prosperous life.

Does it matter if Ruth likes it or not? It doesn't matter, as a noble mother, the first thing she has to do is to keep the title of nobility and maintain the dignity of the nobility.

In fact, the new aristocracy was the nouveau riche, and Karl was among them.

He wants to choose a noble girl to marry, the purpose is to improve the bloodline, it just so happens that Ruth is good-looking, and it is an earl family, which is extremely cost-effective.

Fisher's face froze, and he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and replied bluntly: "Are you humiliating me?" ”

"No, I'm joking with you, Countess."

"You ......"

Astor smiled and said, "Countess, if Walker is not qualified to invite you to lunch, then can I invite you?" ”

"Countess, if you feel that Mr. Walker has insulted you, how about I apologize in his place?" Mrs. Brown said.

Fisher was stunned, everyone around her was staring at her, if she left at this time, the nobleman's face would be lost, so he didn't want to move his steps when he stood still.

Finally Ida stepped forward, took her by the arm, and said, "Mr. Walker is as old as your daughter, and you should understand Ruth's temper when you think about it." ”

Under Ada's tug, Fisher moved his steps reluctantly.

If you have steps, you have to go down, and you have to maintain the face of this damn nobleman.

She passed Russell in a daze, and did not turn her head to look at him, afraid that he would embarrass herself again.

And Russell didn't continue to chase, after all, Astor, Ida, and Mrs. Brown all spoke, and they always had to give them face.

Madeleine took Aster's arm, tiptoed to the side and said, "Mr. Walker, if you guessed correctly, you are still single, and when you arrive in the United States, I can introduce you to a few high-class girls." ”

Astor laughed and said, "Your sisters are all older than Walker, and he probably won't like it." ”

"How can I not like it, but the upper class girl is afraid to look down on me, after all, I am a person who has soaked in a nasty Turkish bath......"

Hearing this, Fisher in front of him paused, but was hurriedly pulled by Ida and continued to walk forward.

Later, Astor and Isidore and Mrs. Brown were smiling happily.

"Walker, did you develop your humor in England?"

"No, I actually learned it with Italians."

When Astor and Isidor heard this, they laughed even louder.

Last year Italy declared war on Turkey and invaded Syria.

Due to negligence and negligence, 20,000 Italian troops and 4,000 Turkish soldiers were in a stalemate, and many jokes were made.

In the end, there were 100,000 soldiers, but they were defeated by the combined Turkish and Syrian forces.

If it had not been for the use of aircraft on the battlefield, Italy would have lost its wife and lost its troops......

First Class Restaurant.

At the long table sat Mr. and Mrs. Astor, Mr. and Mrs. Strauss, Mrs. Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Fisher, Russell.

Soon two men came over and introduced each other, and Russell learned their identities.

Thomas Andrews, who was the designer of the Titanic, needed to evaluate and document issues on his maiden voyage, which was a very regular practice.

J. Bruce Ismay is a successful businessman, he is also the chairman of the company that built the Titanic, and one of the shareholders.

Later, Captain Smith and Archibourd Gracie IV also sat down.

Except for Captain Smith, the other three were slightly unfamiliar with Russell, so they asked briefly.

Without waiting for Russell to reply, Astor said, "Mr. Walker is a very talented gentleman and a businessman. When he arrives in the United States, he will set up a security company. Now, of course, Walker is Mrs. Brown's security advisor. ”

"Security consultants? Is it a personal bodyguard who provides security services? ”

Russell said bluntly: "That's right, if Mr. Ismay needs it, I will send the best security officer in the company to protect your safety, even if there is danger, he will die before you first." ”

Russell didn't have a good impression of Isme.

Not only did he perform badly in shipwreck, but also because he was a pure businessman...... In order to put the Titanic on the front page of the newspaper, he actually instigated Captain Smith regardless of the danger to drive the speed to the maximum!

This is also one of the reasons why the Titanic sank.

Ismay smiled awkwardly, "I hope the security officer will always be safe." ”

"Shall we have a meal?"

Astor suggested.

At this moment, Fisher got up and waved to the door.

"Mr. Karl! Oh, how did you become like this......"

Everyone turned their heads to see that the gentleman in a neat suit had a bruised and swollen face, and the personal bodyguard next to him, Spicer, was even more serious, and the left cheek was high and swollen.

Behind them was a beautiful girl dressed in an aristocratic lady's dress, her blond hair draped over her shoulders like a wave, and her curvy figure was curvy by the tightened belt.

It's just that there is no expression on the pretty face, so this beauty is immediately reduced by three points.

Her face was numb, her eyes were hollow, and she felt like a mechanical doll......

As Russell looked at Ruth, Carl and Spicer noticed him.

"It's you!!"

When Carl saw Russell's face, he gritted his teeth and hurried.

Spicer's eyes flashed, and he reached under his arm as he followed.
