Matriarch of the Hockleys
Chapter 11
"Luth, you're back."
"Mom." Ruth called out in surprise, and she was startled by her mother as soon as she entered the room.How could Mom be in her room, Ruth thought terrified.She secretly hid the things in her hand behind her back.
"What are you holding in your hand? Show it to me." Mrs. Rufu's tone was not depressed, she looked at her daughter seriously.
Ruth and Mrs. Ruth were in a stalemate for a while, but still handed the rolled-up drawing paper to Ruth. "I saw a painter who was helping people paint on the deck, so I asked him to paint a portrait for me." Ruth tried to explain.
Mrs. Rufu unfolded the drawing paper in her hand and looked at it carefully. She stared at a signature in the lower left corner and narrowed her eyes. "Jack Dawson?" "The guy in the third class yesterday drew it for you, right? You went to see him." Rufu threw the spread drawing paper on the table and said a little unhappy.
"I saw him by accident on the deck." Ruth tried to hide her behavior. "Really? Did you ask him to come and paint you on the first-class deck?"
"Yes, mother, how could I go on the third-class deck!" Ruth said hastily, knowing that her mother didn't like everything about third-class cabins.
Having learned to lie, Rufu's face was filled with anger. "Really? I saw you today on the third-class deck with Mrs. Bennet."
"Mom!" Ruth panicked, she didn't expect to be seen by her mother by such a coincidence.
"I've already explained it to Mrs. Bennet. You want to give that guy alms, so you went to the third-class deck to ask him to paint for you. After all, third-class people can't enter the first-class cabin at will."
"But... Mom," Ruth disagreed with Ruth.It's not charity, Jack, Jack is his friend, it's just a small gift.Ruth wants to argue with Ruth.
"Stop talking, Ruth. In the next few days, you will stay in the first class and you will not be allowed to go anywhere. Don't have any contact with that poor boy, you know?" Rufu said irresistibly.
"Understood, Mom." Although she said this, Ruth still planned to meet Jack secretly, anyway, Mom couldn't watch her all day long.
"How are you getting on with Mr. Hudson?"
"I don't like him. He's always talking about money, exaggerating about each other's wealth." Ruth was annoyed.
"He can talk about money and boast about his wealth with others, which means that he has a lot of money and wealth. Aren't you satisfied?" Ruth was a little dissatisfied, Ruth was too picky.
"Don't you think he stinks of copper, Mom?" Ruth resisted.
"Do you want us to live in dilapidated, dirty slums when we arrive in the United States? Why don't you think about our situation."
"What's wrong with the slums? Can't you find a cleaner place? What's more, the rent in the slums is very cheap. Didn't you always say that we don't have enough money? Why don't you save some money?" Ruth She didn't want to see Mr. Hudson. She felt that she obviously didn't like him, but it would be embarrassing for her to pretend to ask him to help.
"What's wrong with the slums? Do you want us to be excluded from the upper class? Do we want to tarnish the reputation of the Cabot family for more than 100 years?" Rufu screamed frantically.
Ruth was going crazy, what was going on in Ruth's mind all day long! ?Is she still pulling herself to become a commoner?
"But what's so good about high society? We are obviously in debt, but we have to take on more debts in order to maintain the so-called decency. Isn't this swollen face and fat?" Ruth didn't understand those superficial things? Is it really that important?You have to sacrifice your daughter's marriage and freedom for those things.
"Are you going to force me to pawn the last property of the Cabot family!? Are you doing this right for your dead father?" Rufu said angrily.
Ruth bowed her head, tears streaming down her skirt in big drops.Thinking of her father who loved her so much during her lifetime, Ruth couldn't hold back the sadness in her heart even now.She covered her face and let out a painful sob.
Rufu regained her calm expression, and she quietly looked at Ruth who was crying bitterly.After ten minutes, Ruth finally calmed down.Rufu said, "Ruth, real life is much crueler than you imagined, so stop thinking about it."
"Got it, Mom." Ruth wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
"Just now, Mr. Hudson asked someone to invite you to the restaurant for lunch. I have already agreed for you. You can pack up and go later!" Ruf paused, "Remember to think about our situation, Ruth."
"I will, Mom." Ruth said with difficulty. After the pain, Ruth's voice had become hoarse.
Lu Fu watched her daughter walk into the bathroom, feeling a little unbearable in her heart.But thinking of the huge debt owed by the Cabot family, Rufu still hardened his heart.Ruth will see later that I was doing it for her own good.
By the time Rufu helped Ruth dress up, it was almost the appointed time.Ruth clasps a diamond-encrusted rose brooch on Ruth's chest. "Speak calmly later, don't be impatient."
"Understood, Mom." Ruth pursed her lips and walked towards the dining room with her fan.Rufu stared at her daughter's figure for a while, then closed the door.
Mr. Hudson saw Ruth approaching and stood up hastily.He pulled out a chair for Ruth in a gentlemanly manner, "Please sit down, Miss Ruth." Hudson showed an approachable smile.
"I'm glad you can come, Miss Ruth." Mr. Hudson smiled, "Let's order first!" Mr. Hudson gave Ruth a portion of the menu in his hand.
"Yeah." Miss Ruth also showed a gentle smile.
"Two servings of caviar first? Mr. Hudson?" Ruth flipped through the menu in her hand and asked Mr. Hudson.
"Well, call me George, we are already very close friends, aren't we?"
"Okay, George." Thinking of her mother's instructions, Ruth changed her words without evasion.
"Have some more oysters! Two Cornish pasties, one fish in white cream sauce, one beef Burgundy, and for dessert, two Saxon almond cakes. Open a bottle of the wine I brought on purpose, how about Like?" Mr. Hudson handed the menu to the waiter.
"Do you want anything else? Ruth." Hudson looked at Ruth who was sitting opposite him.
"No, these are enough." Ruth put down the menu in her hand, and she felt a little dissatisfied with Mr. Hudson asking herself after ordering.
While pouring red wine for Ruth and himself, Hudson wanted to introduce the origin of the red wine to Ruth, "Ruth, this is a bottle of red wine with great significance. I was declared by my father to be the next head of the Hudson family At that time, my grandfather specially asked someone to bring it from France as a gift for me."
Hudson paused and said, "Ruth, I always thought that I might pass it on as a gift to my next generation. Until I met you, Ruth, I wanted to share this bottle of red wine with you. You Will you share all my glory with me?" Hudson looked at Ruth nervously.
"I," Ruth hesitated, she understood that George was not only talking about the bottle of red wine, but she didn't know how to deal with Hudson's confession.
Fortunately, when she was hesitating, the waiter who served the food broke the somewhat deadlocked atmosphere. "Dear guest, your dishes are ready, please take your time."
"Let's eat first," Mr. Hudson said, seeing Ruth's hesitant expression.He is patient enough to wait for his prey.
"Okay." Ruth said a little stiffly.
This lunch was destined to be tasteless for Ruth, and her heart was at war with heaven and man.She doesn't want to be the wives of those unhappy marriages in the upper class, but her situation is already not optimistic.She has to make a choice.
Mr. Hudson put down the knife and fork in his hand, and wiped the corner of his mouth with a napkin. "Ruth, this is a gift I prepared for you, open it and have a look." Mr. Hudson handed a brown box to Ruth.
Ruth took the box, opened it, and looked at it.Inside is a pair of pearl earrings, with a few amethysts set under the bright white pearls, giving off the unique reflection of jewelry from time to time. "It's beautiful," said Ruth, smiling. "Thanks, George."
There was an awkward atmosphere at the table, and Mr. Hudson had a stiff smile on his face. "I'll take you home, Ruth."
"Ok."
Mr. Hudson sent Ruth to the door. He looked at Ruth with his deep eyes, which were full of friendship.
"Ruth." Hudson shouted affectionately, "I don't know if I can share the glory of my next life with you." "Ruth, can you give me an accurate answer?" Hudson held Ruth's left hand, expressing affectionately.
"I" Ruth's eyes flickered a little, and suddenly her sight was attracted by the door that was opened a little.She knew that her mother must have heard Hudson's words, and she had to answer.Ruth's face became pale, and she bit her lip tightly, very unwillingly.
Ruth said in a difficult voice, "Well, I would."
"Really? Great, Ruth." Hudson was very pleased.
"Ruth, what's wrong with you? Are you sick?" Hudson was taken aback by Ruth's pale face.
"My head hurts a little," Ruth Downs said.
"Then you have a good rest later. I'll have dinner delivered to your room at night, so you don't go to the restaurant. See you tomorrow."
"Well, goodbye." Ruth said goodbye to George with a forced smile, and she watched Hudson leave slowly.
"Come in, Ruth." Ruth was startled by Mrs. Ruth. "Okay, Mom."
