Secret Marriage: Wife Spoiling Husband-Chapter 342: We won't accept somebody else
"Junfeng, didn't you have an important meeting today?" Lin Haoming questioned as he looked at his elder son.
Lin Jungeng nodded, "Yes but the meeting got canceled."
"The meeting got canceled?" Lin Haoming frowned. He glanced at his two sons and he knew that something was amiss. There was no coincidence for these two guys to come here leaving their work alone. He knew that these guys were here for something. They were up to something but what?
"So what's going on here?" Lin Junfeng asked as he glanced at Li Xiaolu.
"Yes, Mochen what were you all laughing about?" Lin Jiangchu asked but his eyes were on Li Xiaolu.
For some reason, perceiving those two glances Li Xiaolu felt nervous. She was a little uncomfortable and a little worried. It felt as if Lin Junfeng and Lin Jiangchu didn't like her that much. She could feel that vibe of hostility coming from them towards her.
It was not only her, even Lin Mochen, Zhu Qian, and Lin Haoming perceived that. The entire environment was filled with awkwardness as compared to before.
"Mom was showing Xiaolu our childhood pictures." Lin Mochen answered after clearing his throat. He said this to lessen the awkwardness in the atmosphere but it was to no avail. Instead, it created an opposite reaction and the atmosphere became even more depressed.
"Oh!" Lin Junfeng nodded while Lin Jiangchu simply smiled.
Zhu Qian looked at her elder son with a sigh. She couldn't take this anymore. She glanced at Lin Mochen with a smile, "Mochen, why don't you show Li Xiaolu our house?"
"Yeah Mom, " Lin Mochen quickly nodded.
"Xiaolu, come... I'll show you around our home." Lin Mochen said excitedly. He was very happy that he could spend some time alone with his sister and show her his room, her room, and their house.
Li Xiaolu nodded with a smile as she got up and left with Lin Mochen. After Li Xiaolu was gone, the smile on Zhu Qian's face faltered and she glared at her two sons.
"What's wrong with you both?" she questioned.
"What's wrong with us? Mom, we need to ask you that. What is wrong with you?" Lin Jiangchu questioned.
"Huh? What happened?"
"Mom, Dad there's no need to hide this from us. We know that you want to adopt Li Xiaolu in our family." Lin Jiangchu confessed.
"Who told you that?" Zhu Qian asked. "Even Mochen doesn't know about the adoption thing...."
Ah... That's why Mochen is not sulking. He doesn't know that our parents want to adopt that sweet girl. Lin Jiangchu realized.
"How do we know about this is not important Mom." Lin Jiangchu explained." The important thing is how can you do this?"
"What do you mean?"
"Mom, how can you give our baby sister's place to someone else?" Lin Jiangchu questioned.
"Nobody's giving Lin Xiaolu's place to Li Xiaolu..." Zhu Qian explained.
"You are, Mom!" Lin Jiangchu accused, "Just because her name is Xiaolu, she is sweet, kind of cute and her voice is nice and she looks good.... wait a minute, " Lin Jiangchu paused when he realized what he was saying. After a second he continued, "I mean, just because she is so good doesn't mean that you can give her our baby sister's place."
"Don't speak to your mother like that!" Lin Haoming interrupted. "We are not giving Xiaolu's place to somebody else."
"Then why are you adopting her?" Lin Jiangchu asked.
Zhu Qian sighed. She looked at her husband and she didn't know how to convince her sons. "Junfeng do you think the same?" she asked.
Lin Junfeng nodded. "Mom, we already have a sister and that's Lin Xiaolu. We cannot and we won't accept somebody else as our sister even if she is so cute and beautiful," he said calmly.
"Umm.." Lin Jiangchu nodded in agreement.
"Junfeng, Jiangchu I am not trading my daughter's place for someone else. I like Li Xiaolu and I feel that I have a connection with her. I don't know how to make you both understand this feeling that I have towards her." Zhu Qian explained.
"I am not giving her our Xiaolu's place. Li Xiaolu is a good girl and she has suffered so much over the years. At first, we just wanted to be her godparents but after seeing what happened to her in the past two days we have decided to adopt her as our daughter." she said.
"What happened to her?" Lin Junfeng asked.
Zhu Qian sighed. She looked at her sons and narrated everything that happened to Li Xiaolu in the past few days and her life with the Li family. After hearing about what happened with Li Xiaolu, Lin Junfeng and Lin Jiangchu felt bad for her.
"Despicable! They don't deserve to be called human..." Lin Jiangchu cursed at the Li family as he berated them.
"I understand what happened with her was wrong but that doesn't mean that we have to adopt her." Lin Junfeng explained.
"Only Lin Xiaolu can be my sister and no one else." he declared as he got up from the couch and he walked upstairs.
"Junfeng you...."
"Mom, I agree with what elder brother is saying." Lin Jiangchu conceded. "Tell me something, if one day, Lin Xiaolu comes back and she gets to know that in her absence we have given her place to somebody else then what would she think?"
Zhu Qian was speechless. She didn't think about this matter because it never occurred to her in the first place. Yeah, what if one day her daughter is back then she would definitely think that they have given her place to somebody else...
"Mom, Dad.... please think about it." Lin Jiangchu advised before he got up and he followed behind his elder brother.
"Haoming are we wrong?" Zhu Qian questioned. Tears started to fill her eyes when she thought about this possibility.
"Zhu Qian, you are not wrong!" Lin Haoming assured as he hugged her.
"But we cannot deny the fact that Junfeng's and Jiangchu's words are somewhat correct?" she asked, "What if one day our daughter hates us for giving her place to somebody else?"
