Chapter 984: Zhang Cheng

On the Titanic, in the magnificent restaurant,

Cal, like a gentleman, brought Zhang Cheng to everyone.

Greeting with a calm face, Zhang Cheng had a smile on his face.

"Hey, let me introduce you, this is Zhang from the East!"

Opening with a full smile, Cal introduced him.

"Nice to meet you, Zhang!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Molly Brown beside him smiled.

"Nice to meet you too, Madam!"

Smiling at Molly Brown, Zhang Cheng sat in the chair and greeted everyone present.

And looking at the two Krieg soldiers behind Zhang Cheng, who were like sculptures, Molly Brown said, "Do they have to stand like this all the time?"

"This is their job, I don't dare let them leave my sight!"

Explaining with a full smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but complain.

And hearing Zhang Cheng say this, Molly Brown beside him said, "It seems your family is indeed very strict!"

But what Molly Brown didn't know was that Zhang Cheng was afraid that if the Krieg soldiers left, they would directly lift people's skulls with entrenching tools!

At the banquet table, everyone was talking loudly.

And when mentioning the East, they were full of curiosity. After all, no one had really been there.

In their memory, the so-called East was still a feudal, ancient country!

However, in the chat, Zhang Cheng could always use his vision that surpassed everyone else, letting them understand what a real "aristocrat" is!

Looking at Zhang Cheng before him, Rose's mother, Ruth, said in surprise, "My God, Zhang, according to what you said, you're not married yet, right?"

"That's right, I came here this time to learn, and by the way, to develop the family's business overseas!"

Revealing a smile, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but say, "After all, the slave trade doesn't make much money anymore!"

"Dirty slave trader!"

Looking at Zhang Cheng beside her, Rose revealed a look of disgust.

Suddenly hearing this sentence, everyone present was stunned, and even Ruth didn't expect her daughter to say such things.

"Rose, apologize, immediately, right now!"

Looking at Rose seriously, Cal immediately turned serious.

Because although he is not short of money, it doesn't mean he would offend the heir of a big family for no reason!

"No, no, no, she doesn't need to apologize. After all, a fallen aristocrat is still an aristocrat, right? May I ask, how many years has your family been passed down?"

Looking at Rose playfully, Zhang Cheng supported his chin and said, "Put away your high-and-mighty look, because in my eyes, you don't deserve Cal at all, right? Miss Aristocrat with less than a hundred years of heritage?"

And just after Zhang Cheng finished speaking, everyone present couldn't help but gasp.

Because Zhang Cheng's words were really scolding people without dirty words.

Is a fallen aristocrat still an aristocrat? Of course not. A fallen aristocrat means losing everything, otherwise, how could Rose marry Cal?

It is highly likely that their family lost their manor and castle, and had to marry, longing to return to a life of debauchery through Cal's wealth!

Looking at Zhang Cheng in anger, Rose was full of rage.

"Even if you look at me, you can't change the life of a bird in a cage, because I was born free, I have everything!"

Looking at Rose indifferently, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but mock.

"Humph!"

Getting up and leaving in anger, Rose turned and walked away.

Looking at the other party's back, Ruth also hurriedly said, "Sorry, Zhang, my daughter might be a bit disobedient!"

"It's okay, life will make people learn to obey!"

Watching Ruth leave after apologizing, Zhang Cheng shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

However, after saying this, Zhang Cheng hooked Cal's shoulder and said, "Buddy, believe me, in this world, love is the cheapest thing, because I have never believed in this!"

"Then what do you believe in?"

Looking at Zhang Cheng suspiciously, Cal asked in confusion.

"Money. In this world, there is nothing that money can't buy! Except for the Heart of the Ocean in your hand!"

Looking at Cal before him, Zhang Cheng couldn't help but smile.

Hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Cal couldn't help but look at the gemstone in his hand.

Because this Heart of the Ocean was bought by their family at a high price as a wedding gift, but now it has lost its use because in his heart, Rose is no longer worthy of him!

After returning to the room, Ruth was still waiting for Cal to calm down.

But the next day, the butler Lovejoy appeared. When he saw the other party, Ruth hurriedly asked, "Where is Cal?"

"Madam, I'm sorry, you and this young lady must leave together because it no longer belongs to you!"

Speaking to Ruth, butler Lovejoy's eyes were full of seriousness.

Suddenly hearing this sentence, Ruth immediately said, "No, Cal can't do this!"

"I'm sorry, Madam, this is the young master's instruction!"

Looking at Ruth seriously, Lovejoy said to Rose before him, "Also, the things the young master gave you, you must also return to the Hockley family."

Looking at the ruthless Lovejoy before her, Ruth now knew that Cal was serious.

After the mother and daughter were driven out, the surrounding ladies and aristocrats revealed looks of sarcasm.

Because if it weren't for Cal, how could they have boarded this ship with a bankrupt family?

Looking at everyone's gaze, Rose's heart finally had a crack.

Because she only understood now that without Cal, she would eventually be nothing.

Due to having already boarded the ship, the captain finally had to arrange them in the lowest cabin.

Looking at the dirty and chaotic scene around, Ruth now even had the idea of strangling Rose herself.

Because a good aristocratic lady, a rich wife, you didn't want to be, and you had to fall in love with a rogue. Now it's good, everything is ruined!

The happiest person to know that Rose moved to the lowest cabin was Jack.

When he took the initiative to come up to offer his services, he saw Ruth's anger.

Because she knew that all this was done by this rogue.

At noon, having lost her upper-class status, Ruth and Rose could only get a little bread to satisfy their hunger. This is uniform, but if you want to eat better, then sorry, you have to pay extra.

In the free West, if you want to get freedom, it's very simple: money!

People without money, don't talk about freedom, they won't even have hope!

Falling from heaven to hell, Rose looked at the narrow cabin and the pitiful bread in her hand, not knowing if this was freedom or torture.

Humming a little tune leisurely, Zhang Cheng was patrolling the whole ship.

However, he was not looking for Rose, but for the vampire Cal mentioned.

Because in terms of doing people and doing things, he chose to do both.

Things have been done, now only "doing people" is left.

As for what Rose's ending will be, that is not in his consideration, but presumably, she shouldn't live to the other side of the ocean!

After all, after hitting an iceberg, the first place to leak water is the bottom cabin!

Hearing Carl's words, Lai Fujie walked up, took out twenty dollars, and said, "This is your reward!"

Watching Rose leave, while being supported by Carl, Jack could not help but feel melancholy.

But Zhang Cheng, who had not yet left, looked at this scene, and the corners of his mouth raised in a mocking arc as he said, "A down-and-out lady abandons a wealthy young master to fall in love with me? This is truly interesting!"
