Chapter 261: Feeling Uneasy

One night, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e were sitting in the living room. Li Xiangqian said, "Xiao'e, I plan to send Xiaoling to live in the school and give her a quiet learning environment. What do you think?"

Lou Xiao'e nodded and said gently, "I have the same idea. Xiaoling is still young and needs more restraint and guidance. The school environment will be more beneficial to her."

Li Xiangqian felt relieved, knowing that Lou Xiaoe would always understand and support his decision. They decided to talk to Li Xiaoling tomorrow.

The next morning, Li Xiangqian woke up his sister and said softly, "Xiaoling, get up. We have something to discuss with you."

Li Xiaoling rubbed her eyes, got up from the bed reluctantly, and went to the living room. She looked at her brother and Lou Xiao'e, and asked in confusion: "Brother, what's the matter, so early?"

Li Xiangqian coughed lightly and said seriously: "Xiaoling, we have decided to send you to live in the school. The environment there is good and you can concentrate on your studies."

When Li Xiaoling heard this, she immediately frowned: "Brother, I don't want to live in the school. I can study well at home."

Li Xiangqian patiently explained: "Xiaoling, this is not because I don't trust you, but because I hope you can have a better learning environment. You also know that you have been distracted at home recently, and it will be good for you to live in the school."

Li Xiaoling was silent for a while, then whispered, "I know you are doing this for my own good, but I really don't want to leave home."

Lou Xiao'e came over and patted her shoulder gently: "Xiaoling, school life will be very interesting. You will make more friends and be able to focus on your studies better. We will visit you often."

Li Xiaoling raised her head and looked at her brother and Lou Xiaoe. She knew they were all doing this for her own good. Finally, she nodded: "Okay, I'll try."

Li Xiangqian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "That's right, Xiaoling, you will definitely like it."

In the next few days, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e helped Li Xiaoling pack her luggage and prepare for her accommodation. Although Li Xiaoling was a little reluctant, she gradually accepted this arrangement. The night before leaving, Li Xiangqian sat by his sister's bed, looking at her luggage, and a complex emotion surged in his heart.

"Xiaoling, take good care of yourself when you get to school. Tell me if anything happens." Li Xiangqian said softly, his eyes full of concern.

Li Xiaoling nodded, tears in her eyes: "Brother, I know, you guys should take care of yourself too."

The next morning, Li Xiangqian drove his sister to school. Along the way, Li Xiaoling seemed a little nervous and looked out the window from time to time. Li Xiangqian held her hand and comforted her softly: "Xiaoling, don't be afraid, there are many fun things in school, and you will adapt quickly."

When they arrived at the school, Li Xiangqian helped his sister check in and personally sent her to the dormitory. In the dormitory, several new classmates warmly welcomed Li Xiaoling, which eased her nervousness a little. Li Xiangqian was relieved to see his sister gradually adapt to the new environment.

Before leaving, Li Xiangqian reminded her again: "Xiaoling, if you have anything, remember to call me. We will come to see you often."

Li Xiaoling nodded and hugged her brother reluctantly: "Brother, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

After returning home, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e sat down in the living room. Although they felt a little empty in their hearts, they all knew that this was for Li Xiaoling's future.

As time went by, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e's lives gradually returned to normal. They were busy with work and life every day, but they were always worried about Li Xiaoling. Every weekend, they would take time to visit her at school and bring some home-cooked meals and her favorite snacks.

Li Xiaoling's school life gradually got back on track. She made some new friends and began to actively participate in various club activities. Her personality gradually became more cheerful and her academic performance improved significantly.

One day, Li Xiangqian received a call from Li Xiaoling: "Brother, there is an event at school this weekend, and I need some help."

Li Xiangqian smiled and replied, "Xiaoling, what do you need me to do? I will give you my full support."

Li Xiaoling said happily: "The school is holding a charity sale, and our class is responsible for setting up a stall to sell things, but we are short of some items and manpower."

Li Xiangqian readily agreed: "No problem, Xiao'e and I will definitely go over to help."

On the weekend, Li Xiangqian and Lou Xiao'e brought some homemade snacks and handicrafts to the school's charity sale. Li Xiaoling saw them and ran over excitedly: "Brother, Sister Xiao'e, you are here!"

The three of them set up the stall together and warmly greeted the teachers, students and parents who came and went. Li Xiaoling looked at her brother and Lou Xiao'e busy, and her heart was filled with gratitude and warmth.

The charity sale went smoothly. Their booth attracted a lot of people and the items were quickly sold out. After the event, Li Xiaoling said happily: "Brother, Sister Xiao'e, thank you. Today was such a success!"

Li Xiangqian patted his sister's head and said with a smile: "Xiaoling, as long as you are happy, we are happy."

On the way home, Li Xiangqian felt extremely satisfied and relieved. He knew that Li Xiaoling was gradually growing up and becoming more independent and strong. He and Lou Xiaoe would continue to protect this family relationship and meet every challenge and opportunity in the future.

A few days later, Li Xiangqian received a strange phone call while working in the factory. A deep voice came from the other end of the phone: "Li Xiangqian, you have been doing well recently."

Li Xiangqian's heart tightened and he asked, "Who are you? What's the matter?"

The other party sneered: "I am your old colleague, Lao Wang. I heard that you are doing well now. I still remember how you stepped on me to get to the top."

Li Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, then he understood: "Old Wang, the past is over, why bring it up again?"

Lao Wang's voice was filled with malice: "Don't be too proud too soon, I will let you know what retribution is."

Li Xiangqian hung up the phone, feeling uneasy. He knew that Lao Wang had always held a grudge against him and was now harassing him. He decided not to tell Lou Xiaoe and Li Xiaoling for the time being, so as not to worry them.

When Li Xiangqian returned home at night, he sat on the bed, thinking about what happened during the day, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He knew that he had to stay alert at all times to protect his family. At the same time, he also had to find a way to solve the hidden danger of Lao Wang.

The next day, Li Xiangqian went to the factory security department and explained the situation to the person in charge. After listening, the person in charge said that the factory's security measures would be strengthened and suggested that Li Xiangqian call the police.
