81. Blackmail? Ruth: You are my angel

Carl's eyes glazed over at Ruth, who stood in the doorway, quietly and politely inquiring.

I couldn't believe that this was Ruth's words, and at this moment she looked like a real aristocratic lady.

This is what Carl has always dreamed of, and he wants Ruth to be well-behaved and obedient. However, Ruth is not only rude and willful, but also looks down on him.

Carl is quite puzzled, why in a short period of time, Ruth seems to have changed a person?

At this time, Russell heard her voice and waved his hand: "Of course you can, but when men talk about business, women had better not interject." ”

Rusi jumped to her feet, "Mr. Walker, please rest assured, I will definitely not interject, let alone talk about the topic you are talking about, I will resolutely keep it a secret!" ”

"Close the door."

"Okay!"

Ruth walked easily into the living room, and Carl could feel the joy emanating from her from far away.

At Mr. Walker's invitation, she sat down on the couch by the door, but she glanced at Carl as she sat down, and moved her hips to the side a few minutes to keep her distance.

Russell sat across from Carl, smiling and cross-legged to pull out a cigarette, taking out one and handing it to him.

"Smoke one?"

Carl froze, he habitually waved his hand and shook his head in refusal, "Oh, no... I don't... Okay, I'll smoke one... Thank you Mr. Walker. ”

Ruth laughed inwardly when she saw him dancing in a panic.

However, she just couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth and didn't laugh out loud.

Russell lit a cigarette and left the kerosene lighter on the table, and Carl took it a little nervously and lit it several times in a row before lighting the cigarette.

A spicy smell rushed to his throat, choking his eyes with tears and his face flushed.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Walker...... The first time I smoked this cigarette, it was spicy... Failed your good smoke. ”

Russell laughed and said, "It's not a good smoke, it's in you... The nouveau riche are the cheapest in the eyes, just like us poor people who have no status and no wealth. You don't look at it when you don't need it. ”

Carl was speechless, just pinched his cigarette and didn't continue to taste it in his mouth.

"How much do you think this cigarette is worth?"

Karl blinked and hesitated: "1 cent? ”

Russell frowned, "The cigarette that makes you feel pain is worth 1 cent?" Mr. Carr, are you kidding me? ”

Suddenly, Carl understood.

"It's worth a hundred... No, a thousand dollars! ”

Russell nodded, pulled out three packs of cheap 10-cent cigarettes from his pocket and threw them on the table.

"Selling you three packs, how much do you calculate what you should pay? Counting this half pack. ”

Karl stared at the three-and-a-half-pack of cigarettes on the table.

At first, Ruth didn't understand what the two were talking about, wasn't it business? How to talk about cigarettes.

But when Mr. Walker pulled out three packs of cigarettes, she seemed to understand.

Immediately, he left half of the bag on the table, and Ruth couldn't hold back when she saw it, and immediately laughed.

Russell turned his head to stare at her, and Ruth hurriedly covered her mouth and explained, "Mr. Walker, I didn't mean to... Oh, I shut up. ”

Carl raised his hand and rubbed his face to sober himself up, but he rubbed the swollen wound and grinned in pain.

He took the three-and-a-half-pack of cigarettes on the table and counted them carefully.

"Three packs of 60, half packs of 13, a total of 73."

"Don't count the one you smoked at this time, that's what I asked you to smoke."

"Okay, Mr. Walker, it's 72 in total. I should pay you $72,000. ”

"Very good, it seems that you have a good level of arithmetic, and you are a good businessman."

Carl has resigned himself to his fate, he just wants to get to the United States as soon as possible, and then find a chance to kill Russell, after all, he has been discredited on the ship, and the celebrities and nobles will not speak for him.

"Thank you for the compliment, that... So I'm going to get the money? ”

Russell snuffed out the cigarette butt and nodded, "Go ahead." ”

"Okay, please wait." Carl got up and turned his head to look at Ruth, who was sitting there smiling, "Ruth, take care of Mr. Walker, you, as the hostess, should make tea and pour water for Mr. Walker." ”

Ruth was disgusted when she heard his voice, and frowned and said, "Don't worry about it!" I'll take care of Mr. Walker, I don't need you to say it. ”

Karl swallowed his breath and walked away, going to the inner bedroom to withdraw the money.

Ruth got up and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Walker, that I was so focused on listening to you that I forgot basic politeness. ”

"It's okay, whether you're polite or not, I don't care."

Ruth leaned over and whispered, "Mr. Walker, did you really blackmail Carl just now?" Look at his face like boiled pork liver. ”

"Blackmail? No, I resell cigarettes, and he actively buys them, and even the price is paid by himself, which is called being willing to fight. ”

Ruth laughed and said, "I've never seen Carl tortured like this, he's been arrogant and arrogant to everyone before, but you've seen you like a puppy." ”

"You see he's so happy?"

"yes, very happy."

Russell laughed, "You have mental illness. ”

Ruth pouted and said, "No! I was just suppressed for too long, and today I was rescued from the deep sea by you. ”

"I didn't save you."

"No, you did save me, and I am so grateful to you. And he will only control me, delusionally turning me into a soulless doll! He is the demon that binds me, and you are the angel who saves me. ”

Russell heard this and looked up at her face full of joy.

And Ruth was so happy when she saw him staring at her, that her heart was pounding, and soon her cheeks were red and her eyes were misty......

Suddenly, Russell raised his hand and grabbed her collar and face, but not very hard.

Grinding his teeth fiercely, "I'm your angel, right?" ”

Ruth's scratch hurt slightly, and her face looked as if she was caught between two steel plates.

"Walker, Mr. Walker... It hurts, let go of me..."

Russell let go of her and asked, "Was I rude to you just now?" ”

“… Mr. Walker, you are being rude. ”

When Russell let her go, she actually felt a little empty inside, like something that stimulated the soul, and abandoned her.

"Yes, so don't judge who is good and who is bad, I can pull you when you fall overboard, or I can kill you when you are successful."

Ruth was stunned: "Mr. Walker, I will not look at people with prejudice in the future." But I'm not prejudiced against Carl, he's just arrogant and rude, and he doesn't appreciate art! ”

Russell pointed to the piled up paintings next to him and said, "This is Monet's work, Sunrise?" ”

"You know Monet? Oh! Mr. Walker, I don't have any prejudice against you, you're like my spiritual mentor, I have a lot of respect for you... Do you know Monet? ”

Russell said: "He is a very good French painter, one of the representatives of Impressionism. Judging from his expertise in light and shadow expression techniques, his paintings are very mature. The most important thing is that Monet changed the way the shadows and contours were drawn with style......"

"Do you see clear shadows in Monet's paintings? Can you see the abrupt flat-painted contours? Can not see. Because light and shadow represent the greatest feature of Monet's style! ”

Ruth clapped her hands in dismay, "Oh! You're so well pointed. Oh my God, I didn't expect you to have such a deep insight into Monet. ”

"Mr. Walker, do you like art too?"

Russell lit a cigarette and said, "That's right, I often copy the works of Monet and Picasso, although I can't reach their creative level, but the copying technique can be called fake and real." ”

"Oh my God! Mr. Walker, you are simply my spiritual and art teacher. Will I have a chance to see your copy? I'm looking forward to it! ”

At this time, Carl walked out of the bedroom with a straight face, he didn't expect Russell, who was rude, to talk to Ruth about art.

It literally made him laugh off his big teeth.

He walked to the table and put the 72,000 cash in his hand on the table.

In a deep voice, "Mr. Walker, this is your money. ”

Russell snuffed out his cigarette, got up and said, "Happy cooperation." ”

“…… Happy to work with. ”

Holding the cash in his hand, he turned to Ruth and said, "You will see it when you have the chance, and my personal style of work is also very unique. Goodbye, two. ”

"Goodbye..."

Just as she provoked the roundworm in Ruth's belly, Carl suddenly appeared and disrupted the topic between her and Mr. Walker, Ruth was very annoyed, if it wasn't for Carl to disturb, she would definitely be able to talk to Walker all night!

After she stared at Russell's back and disappeared, she suddenly felt that her heart, which had just been filled, had become empty and lonely again.

Carl closed the door, turned his head and stared at Ruth, and said fiercely, "Are you happy to see me being bullied?" With Mr. Walker's screams, you're like a fucking ***! ”

Ruth was startled and was about to walk to the room, but Karl grabbed her by the arm and threw her onto the couch.

She leaned back on the couch and turned her head to stare at him with a look of hatred.

Carl's rude behavior made her very disgusted and hated, and even disgusted!

Although Russell also behaved like this to her, she could feel that Russell had no malicious intentions, but just wanted to teach her not to trust people easily, let alone be prejudiced against people.

Besides, when Russell raised his hand to pinch her face, she didn't resist, but had a kind of joy... It's just a little painful, and I can't help but cry out for mercy.

Ruth frowned, then got up and walked around Carl towards the bedroom.

"Stop!

Bang, the sound of the door closing.

Karl stared at the closed door, full of anger and did not know where to vent, and with a wave of his hand, he threw the lamp on the eucalyptus table onto Monet's painting.

"Let you appreciate the arts! Fuck ......"

--

Russell walked out of the luxury cabin, and when he saw that there was no one around, he put $72,000 into the cash box, and he could use it as he pleased.

Although the US dollar is not as good as the pound, it is a huge amount of money in cash of 70,000 US dollars!

It's a pity that it is pitiful to exchange for reality, only 720 yuan.

However, the timeline of the movie "Titanic" is 1912-1996, and in this 84-year period, it is impossible for him to make only 70,000 US dollars.

He came to the E-32 ordinary first class, and looked at the tidy room in a very good mood, from here you can see the sea view outside the window, but the eyes will dry out after a long time.

Lay down on a soft and comfortable bed and rested for two hours.

Bang Bang!

Suddenly, there was a knock on the hatch.
