The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 498: How Do You Plan to Handle It
Of course, you need money to be filial to this extent.
In the future, when my daughter marries Jordan Yorke, she won’t have to endure hardships for the rest of her life. Besides, the Raines family will be considered half treasures.
They have no dissatisfaction with Jordan Yorke, they just hope he will quickly marry Renee Raines and solidify their status.
"Jordan, we really like the gifts, but it’s not easy for you to earn money, so don’t spend so much in the future."
Unexpectedly, Renee’s parents are so understanding.
Jordan Yorke feels he’s truly lucky to have met a good girl like Renee Raines, and even her parents are so nice.
He believes that when he brings his parents to the city in the future, the two families will get along harmoniously.
"Uncle, Aunt, as long as you like the gifts, that’s what matters. There’s no need to worry about the cost."
Then Mrs. Raines and Renee Raines went to the kitchen to cook while Mr. Raines and Jordan Yorke talked, starting to inquire about Jordan Yorke’s family background.
It’s natural for a father-in-law to ask these questions to a son-in-law.
Jordan Yorke sees that the Raines family is not greedy or superficial, so he openly shares the details of his family situation.
Upon learning that Jordan Yorke has several younger siblings, Mr. Raines feels that the Yorke family’s situation is quite complicated. With so many siblings vying for the inheritance, will his daughter be able to compete?
But then he considers that Jordan is the eldest and so capable, and he will likely be the rightful heir in the future.
By the time his younger siblings grow up, the Yorke family will have long been under his control, so there’s nothing to worry about.
However, when mealtime comes, Mr. Raines still hasn’t figured out which prominent family the Yorkes belong to.
During dinner, the family eats while chatting.
Talking about marriage makes Mrs. Raines’s eyes well up with tears, feeling very sentimental.
"As parents, we don’t have much ability and can’t give our daughter the best life. From childhood to adulthood, she’s had to endure hardships with us. We’ve let her down, but she’s sensible and obedient, understanding how tough the family situation is, and never complains. She’s quiet and virtuous, Yorke, when she marries you, she will be a good wife and mother. We don’t ask for a luxurious life for her, we just hope you never wrong her, and live life considerately together..."
Mr. Raines also says, "Yes, we only have this one daughter. Now that we’re entrusting her to you, we hope you won’t let her down."
This counts as agreeing to Jordan Yorke and Renee Raines’s marriage.
Having clarified his family’s situation, and with Renee’s parents not disliking his family’s background, Jordan Yorke is very touched. For this very sentiment, he will be good to Renee for life.
Jordan Yorke then immediately makes a promise.
"Uncle, Aunt, please trust me to take care of Renee. I, Jordan Yorke, swear that I will never do anything to wrong Renee in this lifetime. She’s the best person to me in this world, and I’ll cherish her, not letting you two elders worry."
"Okay, since you say this, we will be at ease."
It’s safe to say the two have parentally approved and officially become a couple.
However, when it comes to registering the marriage, Jordan Yorke mentions that his household registration book is still back home, so it might take some time.
Renee Raines naturally agrees, as Jordan Yorke is now completely in love with her, and she’s not in any rush.
Afterward, Mr. Raines asks Jordan Yorke about his future career plans to fully understand his future son-in-law.
Jordan Yorke mentions his plans to become a general manager.
Mr. Raines knows he’s a rich second-generation, and thinks that in his own company, becoming a general manager is a breeze, naturally offering encouragement. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
"Hmm, not bad; you’re a motivated, good guy. You must continue to work hard, and when you have kids, provide them with the best life and education."
These words are quite sincere, resonating with Jordan Yorke.
He will surely strive to give his wife and children a better life.
"Uncle, don’t worry; I’ll work hard."
Mrs. Raines then says, "Yorke, I just heard Renee mention that you seem to have a very good relationship with a female friend who’s currently staying at your place? You’ve now committed to Renee, so it’s not very appropriate to remain unclear with another woman, is it?"
Jordan Yorke quickly replies, "Auntie, you’ve misunderstood. I’m not unclear with any other woman; she’s just, just temporarily staying at my place..."
"Mom, Jordan has explained this to me. I trust Brother Yorke."
"You silly girl," Mrs. Raines says, "Yorke is a good kid, and of course we trust his character, but can you vouch for the other woman’s character?"
She looks at Jordan Yorke, "Yorke, don’t blame Auntie for interfering excessively. We only have this one daughter; Renee is pure-hearted from a young age, without the scheming of women outside, outplayed by these women. So Auntie hopes you’ll be more considerate of Renee’s feelings while working outside, keep your distance from other women. You may not have any motives, but they may not think the same. You understand Auntie’s meaning, right?"
Jordan Yorke nods, feeling Mrs. Raines’s words are warranted.
"Aunt, rest assured, I understand. No other woman catches my eye; I only love Renee and won’t give any other woman the chance to approach me."
"Since you say this, Auntie will not worry. So, how do you plan to handle that female friend?"
Jordan Yorke is troubled, unsure how to deal with Penelope Thatcher.
"Aunt, to be honest, Penelope has shown me life-saving kindness, and I’m not sure how to proceed..."
"Life-saving kindness? What happened?"
Jordan Yorke explains the situation as it happened.
Of course, the Raines family doesn’t actually think he was down and out to the point of fainting.
Perhaps while experiencing life, he met a setback, and the outside world turned out to be tougher than expected, leading to a situation where Penelope Thatcher seized the opportunity.
Renee Raines thinks of how Jordan nearly got taken away by Penelope Thatcher, feeling even less favorable towards this scheming woman.
She glanced at Mrs. Raines, hoping she’d take care of this matter, because in Jordan Yorke’s heart, she’s like an innocent, harmless little flower.
"Yorke, you’ve housed her for so long; this kindness can be considered repaid. If she continues to cling to you, that would be exploiting the favor. These women are cunning; you must see clearly and not let outside women hurt the one before you."
Mr. Raines also says, "If you don’t handle this woman properly, sooner or later my daughter will suffer grievances. Given this, why would I allow my daughter to stay with you..."
Upon hearing Mr. Raines’s words, Jordan Yorke becomes anxious.
Renee Raines quickly says, "Dad, what are you saying? Brother Yorke isn’t like that; I trust him. He’ll handle it properly."
Jordan Yorke assures, "Yes, Uncle, I’ll definitely handle it properly. Please believe me; I won’t let her hurt Renee, nor will I let her threaten the relationship between Renee and me."
But Mr. Raines doesn’t respond to Jordan Yorke, because he only made a promise without saying how he’ll handle it.
Mr. Raines reproaches Renee, "You haven’t married out yet and already leaning out? With such a soft temperament, if Dad doesn’t stand up for you, won’t you be bullied in the future?"
Mrs. Raines tells Jordan Yorke, "Yorke, you’ve seen Renee’s disposition, so gentle and agreeable; if you don’t promptly handle that woman, we can’t trust Renee with you. We only have one daughter, and she’s our life. We don’t expect her to marry exceptionally well, just to have a responsible man by her side who will always tolerate and cherish her. If you can’t do that, we can’t entrust our precious daughter to you..."
