[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

"...This is the reading and writing room. If you feel that reading alone is boring, you can invite a few friends to come here to discuss the contents of the book..."

Early in the morning, after a group of people finished their meal, those who were interested in the introduction of the big ship followed Andrews and Ismay. In fact, it can be said that everyone in the restaurant followed. After all, first-class passengers generally do not get up so early. , getting up early mostly has a specific purpose.

Annie counted, there were about ten people, most of them were women, except for Carl, the only men were Antonio, Macy's founder Strauss and John Jacob Boo Boo Asder, The two gentlemen, accompanied by their wives, strolled at the back of the procession, and Mary Dalton followed closely beside Antonio.

Yes, although Miss Dalton was not on the notice list of the introduction group, she just happened to have breakfast with everyone, and knowing that Mr. Marquis would also participate in this activity, she followed without a second thought.

Annie pretended unkindly not to see Antonio's eyes calling for help.

joke!

Carl? Big vinegar? Mr. Hockley is watching, how can he help?

And she paid a terrible price last night for concealing what happened on the deck in the afternoon. She doesn't want to be found by Mr. Big Tail Wolf to eat tofu again.

In the battle to defend tofu, ten Annies are not worth a little finger of Mr. Capitalist.

Anyway, Anthony is not a stupid person. If he really wants to get rid of Miss Dalton, he will definitely find a way.

Therefore, Annie calmly moved her eyes away from Antonio, and turned her attention to the two old couples, because Carl had been peeping at them along the way, "What's the matter? Do you have something to say to them?"

Mr. Capitalist withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and said softly to Annie: "No, I just saw them and thought about our future life."

Anne:?

Carl whispered in Anne's ear, "That's Asder's wife, Madeleine, and she's five months pregnant." After speaking, he motioned Anne to look at the younger couple with his eyes.

Anne looked at the lady named Madeleine, um, her stomach was indeed slightly protruding, she was stroking her stomach with one hand, while she raised her head and spoke to her husband who was carefully protecting her as she walked, her face was full of happiness.

"I thought that after getting off the ship, we can get engaged, and then you will be pregnant like her, and soon we will have a child." Mr. Capitalist now has a smirk on his face that people can't bear to look directly at, as if the little girl has already Pregnant, he is going to be a father.

Annie: =口=What a horse?

Why is it that they haven't been dating for a week, they are going to talk about marriage and even have a child?

This is the speed of God!

"Engaged... Engaged?" Annie swallowed, stammering like a parrot learning to speak, repeating the words that made her dizzy.

"Yes, baby, where do you like to get engaged? New York? Or Southampton? Why don't we book one on each side?" Carl discussed with Anne enthusiastically.

Carl, who was so excited, couldn't notice Anne Jiong's energetic expression, and then quietly gestured in the direction of the Strauss, "After we get married, we can stay together forever, and then we will be like them, with hair When everything is in vain, leave everything to the children and travel together."

Seeing the elderly couple who are six or seventy years old and still holding hands, you supporting me and I supporting you, and smiling warmly at each other, Anne's heart couldn't help trembling.

Even though Karl planned their future from pregnancy and childbirth to the point where they were in love with each other again at a speed that could not be caught up in a rocket, she seemed not so scared anymore, and even thought of teasing him a little mischievously.

"Marriage? I haven't seen anyone propose!" She pretended to be difficult and glanced at the man who froze for a moment, and added another sentence: "Speaking of which, have you told my brother about us?"

Well, now the man next to her didn't just freeze, he turned into a stone statue!The little girl felt as if she could see the cracks on Mr. Capitalist's face.

She stood on tiptoe and patted the shoulder of the man who had been cursed with petrification, and comforted him: "There is no rush to propose marriage, you can get the approval of Robert and Lily before you talk about it!"

Then Miss Anne consciously solved the big crisis of being forced to marry, humming a little tune happily, followed the footsteps of the big team, and continued to listen to the introduction.

"……gym……"

"swimming pool……"

"Oh! Look, everyone! These are the lifeboats donated by the Robert family of Southampton and the Hockley family of Pittsburgh. They are enough to carry half of the people on board."

Annie, who had been watching Carl with a frowning face and sniggering while following the brigade, suddenly froze the smile on her face and turned into a look of panic.

"What did you say? One-half?"

The little girl screamed these words, and at the same time, her body shook uncontrollably.

How could it be one-half?

How can it be only half?

Isn't the Titanic equipped with enough lifeboats to save half of the people on board?

Including the amount donated by Robert and Hockley, there should be someone who can save the entire ship!

When she was informed that she was still on board and could not disembark, the reason why she was able to remain calm was that on the one hand, she still had time to find other ships to pick them up, and on the other hand, it was because she had a lifeboat as her reliance.

Now Andrews actually said that the lifeboat is still only enough to carry half of the people on the ship. What's going on?

What went wrong?

"Oh? By the way, these lifeboats were donated by the families of Mr. Hockley and Miss Robert who walked at the back." Andrews thought that the reason why the little girl shouted at this time was to show off in front of everyone. He doesn't mind satisfying the little girl's vanity, it's just a matter of little effort.

Then, there are some compliments around Anne and Carl.

Pushing those who took the opportunity to talk to Karl to deal with, Annie ran to Andrews and asked: "Mr. Andrews, as far as I know, the Titanic should be equipped with lifeboats that can carry the entire ship. What's going on? How can there be so much less?"

Andrews glanced in surprise at the little girl who spoke in a hurry and seemed to be in a panic, "Oh? Is that so? I haven't heard of it, but you can ask Ismay, he is one of the major shareholders of White Star Company, should he will know what's going on."

Annie stopped him before the thin and small shareholder with a mustache and twinkling eyes slipped away, "Mr. Ismay, I have a question, and now I'm afraid only you can explain it to me. "

Ismay secretly sighed in his heart and miscalculated. He never thought that this little girl would know the real number of lifeboats. Could it be that Robert? Hank? A little girl who doesn't even have inheritance rights?Or had Hockley told her?

He squinted at Karl who had been following the girl as a flower protector, but was now surrounded by some people.

Pulling out the white veil on her chest, Ismay wiped the sweat that was still invisible on her forehead, and asked with a smile, "Miss Robert, do you have any questions? I'm a bit busy. If there's no rush, maybe we can wait later." Besides?" Give him a moment to think about how to answer.

Annie ignored Ismay's excuses, and asked with a serious face: "What's the matter with the number of lifeboats? I remember "plus" the number of our donations, which should be able to guarantee the safety of all passengers on board!"

"This...Miss Robert, look, let's go to the living room to talk?" Ismay noticed that someone seemed to be paying attention to him and Anne, and he didn't want this matter to cause trouble among the upper-class people. all know!

Not wanting to tear herself apart for the time being, Annie agreed with Ismay's suggestion, and followed her to the small box in the high-profile but very comfortable living room to talk.

"What do you want to drink? I'll ask them to bring it over." Ismay delayed the time with a shy face, anxiously thinking about how to answer the little girl's question.

"No need, just tell me where the other lifeboats went?" Anne sneered, with a rare unkindness appearing on her usual sweet and lovely face, "Or, I should ask, where did the money we donated go? gone?"

God!How sharp is little Miss Robert!

Rumors really kill people!

Who said that this little Miss Robert is well protected by her brothers and sisters, and she doesn't eat fireworks at all?

Now she not only knew that the family had donated a large sum of money to purchase lifeboats for the Titanic, but also knew the exact amount!

Ismay's brains turned sharply, but she replied in a serious manner: "Miss Robert, you must have noticed just now that the names and crests of the Robert family and the Hockley family were indeed engraved on those lifeboats. "

Annie didn't speak, but only looked at Ismay, her little face that was no longer smiling unexpectedly showed an oppressive aura.

The major shareholder felt that the coffee he drank for breakfast seemed to be fermenting in his mouth at this time, and his mouth was full of bitter taste, so he continued to bite the bullet and said: "The number of lifeboats is indeed equivalent to the money donated by your family. Embezzling your family's money."

Hearing that quantity can be equated with money, Annie Hailan's big blue eyes narrowed, and she was big enough to guess what kind of trick Baixing Company was playing.

"Because of the lifeboats we donated, you took the original lifeboats? No, wait, I guess, or you didn't use the money we donated to buy new lifeboats at all, but the original batch Just use it to process and engrave your name and family crest?"

You are all right!

But you can't admit it even if you die!

"Haha!" The shriveled and thin Mr. Shareholder let out a few ugly laughs, "Miss Robert's imagination is too rich! How could we do that? We did use all the money donated by your family to purchase These lifeboats are gone." Ismay clung to this statement tightly!

Annie was trembling with anger, and when she was about to turn her face, a pair of warm palms suddenly pressed her shoulders.

"Baby, take a deep breath, don't be angry, and leave the rest to me."

Seeing the little girl so angry, Mr. Capitalist felt very distressed.

"Karl..." Seeing the supporters coming, Annie's rare tough posture receded, and only the grievance of being bullied remained on her face.

Carl patted Annie's head, but did not sit down. He took the little girl into his arms to comfort him, and closed the door of the box with the other to prevent the prying eyes of the outside world. Make it a scandal.

Mr. Capitalist sneered at the major shareholder condescendingly: "Ismay, I'm not a little girl, don't do that with me. Give me an explanation, or we'll see you in court."

asshole!

The little one hasn't been settled yet, and another old one who is even more difficult to mess with!
