Chapter 438 The Stingy Upper Class
After leaving the banquet, Rose walked aimlessly until she reached the second deck.
He wanted to cross the railing across his chest.
Then jump down.
Go and embrace the deep blue sea.
Her braided hair cascaded over her shoulders.
A few seconds later, Rose suddenly crossed the railing.
When he saw this, Jack immediately ran to Rose's side and grabbed her.
Jack, who has lived in the lower class of society since childhood, has a very good eloquence.
With hard persuasion, Jack successfully persuaded Rose to return. ,
Afterwards, Jack, who had never been in contact with such a beautiful and elegant noble lady, awkwardly introduced himself.
"Hello, my name is Jack."
Rose looked at him.
“My name is Rose.”
"Rose DeWitt Bukater."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
And that gentle and dazzling smile was also reflected in the eyes of the audience, making everyone's mouth corners rise a few degrees.
Infected by the plot.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be a pity for such a beautiful girl to end her life so easily.
But sometimes, no one knows which one comes first, accident or luck.
But the subsequent plot was told to everyone so clearly.
What they encountered was an accident that came early.
Although Jack hero saved the beauty.
But this rescue has not yet been successful.
Although Jack persuaded Rose to give up the idea of suicide, just when he wanted to help her back to the deck, a sudden change occurred.
Maybe it’s because of the large temperature difference at night.
The water vapor condensed into water droplets and sprinkled on the exterior of the cruise ship.
Wet.
Rose wanted to use her strength to climb over the railing, but accidentally stumbled and fell backwards.
There is nothing blocking the rear.
There is only one vast ocean.
This sudden and thrilling scene made Jack on the opposite side widen his eyes.
The audience was also excited and exclaimed. Some people could not help but grab the sponge handrail beside them.
"Oops!"
Exceptionally quiet voices echoed one after another in the guild hall.
Fortunately, Jack responded promptly.
At the moment of falling, Jack grabbed Rose's hand with his transformed hand and waved it around, trying to grab something to prevent his own death.
No one wants to die.
Even Rose, who had wanted to commit suicide before, was the same.
So he wanted to jump down at that time.
But this has all been persuaded back.
When encountering such a situation, every normal person will inspire the will to survive.
The two held their hands together.
Grasping Jack's hand, Rose seemed to have grasped hope.
His heart was beating violently.
“Boom, boom, boom.”
“Help! Don’t let me go!”
“Help me!”
After all, Rose was just a young lady who had been pampered until now. This situation made him extremely panicked. He could only beg Jack pitifully, beg Jack to save her, and beg him never to let go.
The veins on Jack’s forehead were stretched.
He gritted his teeth, tried hard to pull Rose's arm, and then spoke to calm him down.
Because Jack knew that he could not pull someone up like this by himself alone.
His own strength is not enough.
If she wants to be saved, the girl has to work hard on her own.
So, he took a deep breath. "Rose, listen, I will save you."
"Don't worry, I won't let go."
He said, Trying to control his expression.
Trying to calm down the panicked Rose.
"Listen to me, you have to calm down, don't struggle, use your other hand to grab the fence hard, and then try to climb up."
Jack's eyes were encouraging. For sure.
"I believe you can do it, come on, work hard to climb up!"
Perhaps the encouragement given by Jack was enough, Rose calmed down a little, then gritted her teeth and nodded vigorously, As Jack said, he stretched out his other hand and grabbed the railing tightly.
Let’s not mention the process of climbing and rescue for now.
But the end result is good.
Rose was rescued.
However, because his fiancée suddenly left the party early, Karl, who also went out to look for her, saw the two of them who were particularly close to each other.
Yes.
Carl is Rose's fiancé.
The two elders made this marriage contract.
But Rose, a rebellious aristocratic girl who has always disliked the constraints of etiquette and rules, naturally dislikes her fiancé.
He even felt a little ridiculous.
There is no foundation for love, but the two of them are going to get married.
Even God will not bless such a marriage!
Seeing his fiancée describe herself as embarrassed, and there was a young man wearing simple, even unsightly clothes standing next to her, Karl misunderstood.
He thought Jack was harassing his fiancée.
Of course Rose would not let her "savior" be misunderstood, so he hurriedly explained.
After describing the matter concisely, Karl finally eliminated the suspicion and anger in his eyes.
But his attitude was still so condescending.
Even when expressing gratitude to Jack, it was nothing more than the same.
It seems that any more communication and contact with a poor person like Jack would be an insult to him.
He nodded proudly and simply said thank you.
Then he pulled out a note.
The denomination is not large.
It’s $20.
Hand it to Jack as a thank you for saving his fiancée.
Although the background of the film is the United States in 1912.
Twenty US dollars was worth a lot at the time.
It is enough to supply a person at the bottom of society for a long time.
But such a proud attitude.
Still, the viewers outside the screen couldn't help but feel resentful.
"What? In his mind, his fiancée's life is equivalent to 20 US dollars?"
"This attitude is really irritating. Look at that arrogant posture, as if he is watching Like a homeless man begging for himself.”
"I'm convinced. Isn't Rose's fiancé from a rich family? The way to express gratitude to his fiancée for his lifesaver is to give him only 20 US dollars?"
"What is this? Have you ever heard of this? The richer the person, the stingier he is."
"No wonder Rose, the beautiful girl, dislikes Karl."
As expected, Karl. Qingfu's disdainful attitude angered Rose.
Jack didn't say anything, but Rose directly questioned.
"In your eyes, I'm only worth 20 dollars?"
Rose's words were particularly incredible.
The watery eyes stared, as if asking Karl to give him an explanation.
Karl hesitated for a while, then rolled his eyes and made a decision.
He spoke deliberately awkwardly, as if he had made a decision that went against his will.
He wants to invite Jack to a dinner party tomorrow night.
Hearing this, Rose temporarily withdrew her dissatisfied expression.
