[Titanic] Golden House

Chapter 6

Not to mention how Rose was beaten by the system housekeeper in the room upstairs, and when she was secretly thinking about how to get revenge, Mr. Andrew, who stayed overnight on Christmas Eve, was also telling his lover that he couldn't help it.

"Honey, our trip to China seems to have to wait until the maiden voyage of the Titanic is over. I'm very sorry to disappoint you."

"Oh, is it not allowed by Baixing Company?" Rufu suppressed the joy in his heart and asked empathetically.

Compared with Andrew's real disappointment, Rufu can be said to be satisfied.

"Yes, yes. Ismay said that the board of directors has studied and rejected my request that I will be away for more than a year. And our honeymoon can only be away for two months at most."

"Honey, we can go to many places in two months. We can go around in various European countries. Isn't it?" Let's go to France, let's go to Paris.Lu Fu felt that the directors of White Star Company were really too considerate.

"Ma'am, Mr. Andrew. Mr. Hockley is here." Butler Charlie interrupted the loving conversation between the old master's widow and her current fiancé with a serious face.

"So early?" Their family hasn't eaten breakfast yet.And Rose wasn't up yet.Is this the time to visit?

"Yes." Charlie also felt that in England, among the people he knew, except for Andrew in front of him, he had never met someone who went to someone's house so early to sit as a guest.

Compared to the three people in the room, Carl really felt that it was too late.Ever since they separated on the 23rd the day before yesterday, Karl felt that life seemed like years.

While anxiously waiting for the time to visit the guests, he complained in his heart why Lu Fu was not a good person, and to be more straightforward, he was also invited to spend Christmas Eve with him.

Thinking of the girl he saw that day, Carl felt a feeling of sweetness and honey in his heart.Girls are beautiful, but also young.Sometimes confused, sometimes careless.Natural and not artificial, the eyes are especially bright when the mouth is hungry.

Rose's good appetite also greatly increased the appetite of myself who was eating at the same table with her.He had felt this way before.It's been so long that he can't remember clearly.

Since taking over the Hockley family, eating has become a must-do and a kind of entertainment.When eating, the first thing that comes to mind is no longer whether the food is delicious.But at noon that day, for the first time in several years, Carl thought of food while eating.

Seeing the girl licking her lips quietly because she was not full, Carl could still recall the peppery aroma of the steak.

Watching the girl eat is a kind of enjoyment. When she ate the dessert little by little with a small silver fork, and when the little pink tongue was wrapped in chocolate, the blood in Carl's body was about to rush to his brain, and his face was smoky red.

It was a deadly temptation, but the person who made the temptation did not know it.Well, it can’t be said that way. When eating half of the dessert, the girl still looked up at her mother. When she found that her mother didn’t notice her, the girl quickly ate all of it to the house cat that stole the chicken. dessert.

Women nowadays want both a plump upper body and a slender waist.In this case, they all use their appetite to control themselves.

But the girl in front of her did not seem to be bothered by this.Thin shoulders, a small waist that fits tightly, and a somewhat sizable upper body all present perfect proportions.

Carl, who has been through personnel affairs for a long time, the more he looks at it, the more he thinks about it.The body twisted unnaturally on the chair.He took a cup of hot coffee to cover his flushed cheeks.Every cell in his body was clamoring that he wanted the girl in front of him.

But the girl in front of her is not as soft-hearted and kind as ordinary noble girls.Sitting in front of her, he might not have attracted her attention more than the desserts on the table.She didn't even look at the poor man she had unwittingly seduced.

The lunch that day was very enjoyable. Although it took three hours to eat, Carl still felt that the time was too short.So short that they haven't grown any further.

So after lunch, Carl sent someone to investigate Bookett's house carefully.It turned out that Rose's mother and daughter rented out the farm and manor was really just the reason they told him.

The social status of the Bookett family, and the marriage of the famous designer Mr. Thomas Andrew.Let their mother and daughter have status and property.And Rose is now studying at the famous Royal University of England.

Such a girl has long attracted a crowd of wild butterflies, and he is not the best among them.But the young girl is young, but his age is a bit too old for the young girl.This has to be said to be a disadvantage.

Karl rubbed his chin and shook his head lightly, knowing in his heart that this chase was destined to be very difficult.

"Hi, Mr. Hockley. I'm Thomas Andrew. Nice to meet you."

"Hi, Mr. Andrew. I'm Carl, Carl Hockley. It's a great honor to spend Christmas with you and Miss Rose."

Karl, who was welcomed into the living room of the house by the housekeeper, introduced Andrew to each other first.Then politely asked Rufu and Rose, the mother and daughter.

"My wife is going to arrange breakfast. You'll see them in the dining room later." In fact, Rufu went to wake up her stepdaughter.I thought that this Mr. Hockley would not come here until noon, how could he have expected that he would come after eight o'clock in the morning.

Who told Rufu to invite him to spend Christmas with him?At that time in the UK, when I was invited to spend the holidays together, most people would come over in the afternoon, have a Christmas dinner together and then leave.

This is a matter of convention, and therefore, the breakfast time of the Bookett family is still in accordance with the usual habits.

"Baby, you're already up." When Rufu came to Rose's room with her skirt in hand, she found that Rose was getting dressed with Tracy's help.

Rose saw her mother walking up from the full-length mirror, with a smile on her face. "Good morning, Mom."

"It's early indeed. Karl's here."

"Ah! So early?" Rose was surprised.Could it be that the Hockley family all go out so early to take guests?

"Yeah, your Uncle Thomas is downstairs. How about this?" Ruth asked, holding up a necklace.

"Well, no. I want the one with the thin chain." The necklace Lu Fu was holding was too thick, much like the kind worn by a gangster brother in later generations.

"It's too thin. It doesn't match the dress."

Rose was wearing a low-necked long-sleeved dress today, revealing her snow-white skin.

The style of the dress is very traditional, but it lacks the lace that British girls like.There is an extra layer of gauze.According to Rose, just a thin platinum chain with a small pendant will do.

"Mom, that one is too thick. It's like a nouveau riche. I don't take it." Rose looked disgusted.

Rufu glared at him, and reprimanded lightly, "You child, how do you talk?"

Pursing her lips slightly, Rose took another pearl necklace from the jewelry box.

Rufu took a look and felt all right.Although the pearls are not big, they are full.There are three floors in total, surrounded by a circle, which looks very elegant.He took the necklace and helped her put it on without Tracy serving.

"I have guests today, so I'm not allowed to eat so many things anymore." Whose girl is like her eating and drinking now.Don't mention this, who knows if they will eat as much as they had lunch together before.

"...Why? Mom, are you my real mother?" Rose said dissatisfied.

"If I wasn't your own mother, can I tell you to pay attention to the image of a lady?"

"But, it doesn't make sense." In order to pay off the debt, Rose's stomach has long been stretched, so how can she be full with such a small amount of food.

"Why doesn't it make sense?"

"Isn't Carl Hockley the only one here today? Didn't we have dinner together before. It's too late to pretend now. Moreover," Rose said here, she glanced at Tracy, Tracy knew it, and hurriedly out of the room.

"Besides, for a person who doesn't know if he will be with you in the future, it's okay for you to starve me for a day. If you will contact me frequently in the future, don't you make me hungry all the time."

"Another one, if it's just a person who doesn't come and go often, then there's no need for me to wrong myself for him. Do you think so?"

Rufu: "..." Something seems wrong?

At nine o'clock, Rose appeared in the dining room in a pink tulle dress with red flowers on a white background.The wavy red hair was divided into upper and lower parts, one part was loosely twisted into a braid, and then turned twice to form a flower shape, and was fixed with a pearl hairpin inlaid with gemstones.

The remaining part is draped behind the back, with two thin chains composed of pearls and crystals hanging from top to bottom.

With natural and fresh light makeup, pink gauze, a low-cut dress with a little bit of pearl, plus a cute and playful hairstyle, Rose just stood there and took away all of Carl's words.

How beautiful, my Venus!

Carl's loss of consciousness was only a momentary thing, suppressing the violent beating of his heart.Carl walked up to Rose calmly, bent down, raised Rose's tender hand, and kissed it gently.

There was a trace of embarrassment in Rose's heart, and then she took pleasure in others' misfortune.This hand can be coated with several layers of hand fat oil powder.Will this kiss get on Carl's lips?Could it be that Karl came to their house not only to buy food, but also to buy cosmetics?

"Good morning, Rose!" Carl said in a deep voice, his eyes sparkling and his provocative skills developed for many years.

"Good morning, Mr Hockley."

"Oh, didn't you say that you can call me 'Carl'?" Carl didn't want to be treated so strangely by Rose.

Rose smiled reservedly, and uttered her pink lips lightly, "Carl", I can't kill you.

Carl immediately smiled, bent his arm, and motioned for Rose to hold it.Rose has stayed in England for some years, knows this etiquette, and doesn't say much about it.He took Carl's arm, and together with Carl followed Rufu and Andrew to the restaurant.

After dinner, everyone drank tea and chatted in the sunshine room.Butler Charlie came in with a letter.

"Miss Rose, Ms. Li from Huaxia sent you a letter." As he said, he bent down and handed the letter to Rose.

"Rose, are you still dating people from Huaxia?" Lu Fu frowned and said.

There was a look of helplessness in Rose's eyes, suppressing her impatience, she said lightly: "That's my classmate, how could I not contact you."

Rufu's shrill voice sounded like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "That's a bunch of lunatics. You should stay away from them."

"Mother, can't you just say that? They didn't offend you."

"They're a bunch of lunatics, thugs. Liars, and you're supporting them financially."

Rose sighed in her heart, actually, my lord, the last sentence you most want to say.

"Rose, maybe it's not polite, but may I know what's going on?"

No wonder Karl was curious, Rufu looked very excited.Andrew sat there helplessly again.Rose was aggrieved, a little angry, and looked pitiful and cute.The heroism in Karl's heart suddenly swelled up.

"It's nothing, just a group of Chinese people who came to study in the UK. They are organizing and plotting to overthrow the current Chinese government."

"Mom, that's not a conspiracy." At best, it's a conspiracy.

"Then what does this have to do with Rose?" What does the matter of foreigners have to do with Rose.

"Rose provided them with a decent amount of operating expenses."

Carl: "..." This really makes Carl not know what to say.What is the reason for Rose, a foreigner, to get involved in the internal affairs of the Chinese people?Even if these men usually support which ruling force.That is also in my own country.This is also the case when there are benefits to be found.

"..." Seeing Carl's gaze cast on her, Rose was also speechless.Tell me, what exactly is she planning?An Englishman with a Chinese core.well!
