Xie Jianhua led his master and his wife to the rest area.

It is simple and tidy here. There are several pictures depicting the physiological structure of animals hanging on the wall, adding a bit of warmth to this place filled with the smell of disinfectant.

He personally made two cups of hot tea, and everyone sat around, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed and pleasant.

"Jianhua, you're really becoming more mature and steady." Professor Zhang Yongxian looked around and nodded approvingly. "I remember when you just graduated, you were still a young man, but now you can stand on your own."

Xie Jianhua scratched his head sheepishly and smiled, "Thanks to the wise guidance of Master and his wife, and all these years of experience, I have grown a lot. By the way, Yanyan, come here and meet your grandparents."

Xie Yan's big eyes twinkled. This was the first time she saw the professor after her rebirth.

She remembered that her father would take her to the provincial capital every year to pay New Year's greetings to the professor, but the two old men had never come to the small town before Xie Jianhua passed away.

"Hello, Grandpa and Grandma!" She greeted them in a baby voice, making the two old people very happy.

Professor He Ying took Xiaowan's hand and asked gently, "Yanyan, you're so good. Do you like it here? Do you want to be a doctor protecting small animals like your dad?"

Xie Yan thought about it and realized that there was no need to offend Xie Jianhua in such an occasion. "Of course, I want to be as good as my grandparents."

Xie Yan's answer made everyone slightly stunned, and then they smiled at each other, as if they were both surprised and curious about her independent thinking.

Xie Jianhua gently patted his daughter's shoulder and encouraged her, "You have to work hard now."

Professor He Ying looked at Xie Yan with a smile, her eyes full of love and expectation: "Yan Yan is such a smart child."

Professor Zhang Yongxian also joined the conversation, his voice gentle and deep: "Yanyan, do you know? When your father was young, he was just like you now, full of aspirations and dreams for the future. The reason he has become the respected veterinarian he is today is because he never gave up his pursuit of success, and he never stopped learning and working hard."

Xie Yan nodded seriously: "I understand, Grandpa. I will study hard and stick to my dreams like Dad."

At this moment, Professor He Ying suddenly changed the subject and asked with concern, "Jianhua, how is your mother's health recently? We knew she had this disease at such a young age, so we took the time to see her."

Upon hearing this, Xie Jianhua showed a surprised expression on his face.

He had never expected that his master and his mistress would suddenly mention his mother, Yang Qin, and he couldn't help feeling confused.

You know, his mother has always lived in the countryside. Although she is in good health, she does need more care in recent years because of her old age.

Although the professor and his wife had a close relationship with his family, they usually communicated through phone calls and rarely asked directly about his mother Yang Qin.

The most important thing is, what does the illness that Master's wife mentioned mean?

His mother is healthy and can eat and sleep well, so why did the master and his wife come to ask about this?

"Ah, my mother..." Xie Jianhua was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

He looked at Xie Yan, hoping that his daughter could give him some clues, but Xie Yan looked confused. She obviously didn't understand why the professor and his wife suddenly became concerned about her grandmother's health.

However, she reflexively thought of Lin Luping, who had disappeared for a long time. She had been hiding in her grandfather's house and hadn't made any trouble for a long time. Could it be... related to Lin Luping again? ? ?

Xie Yan's heart was filled with alarm as she keenly sensed the subtle change in the atmosphere.

Although she didn't know why the professor and his wife suddenly mentioned her grandmother, she quickly searched her mind for possible answers, but she had no idea what had happened.

"Grandpa and grandma, my grandma has been in good health recently. She can eat and sleep well. She grows vegetables, raises chickens, and fiddles with Chinese medicine every day." Xie Yan's voice was crisp and pleasant, with a bit of childishness and innocence, which made people believe her words involuntarily.

Zhang Yongxian and his wife had puzzled expressions on their faces when they heard this. They both thought that Xie Yan was too young to understand what the adults were saying, and they both looked at Xie Jianhua with questioning eyes.

There was silence for a long time.

Zhang Yongxian's words were like a bolt from the blue, instantly shattering the silence in the room. "Xiao Xie, your wife Xiao Lin came to us a while ago to borrow money. She said your mother, Yang Qin, has lung cancer and urgently needs medical expenses."

Xie Yan's heart sank suddenly. She looked at her father in disbelief, her eyes full of shock and confusion.

Xie Jianhua's face became extremely ugly. He frowned, and his eyes revealed anger and confusion.

He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, then turned to Zhang Yongxian and his wife and said in a low but firm voice: "Master, Master's wife, my mother is not sick..."

"What?!" Zhang Yongxian and his wife showed even more surprised expressions on their faces when they heard this.

"Hey, Xiaolin, what are you going to do with all that money? I always thought you were taking care of your mother, and she came to us specifically to borrow money."

Professor He Ying couldn't help but interrupt, "But Xiaolin...she spoke so sincerely at the time. This child looks so honest, how could she do such a thing?"

Xie Jianhua shook his head like a defeated rooster, and in just a moment he suddenly understood the general outline of the whole thing.

What else could it be?

She had just been detained in a detention center for gambling, and now she lied to me and asked my master and his wife to borrow money. How else could she explain borrowing such a large sum of money except gambling?

"I'm sorry, Master and Madam, I made you worry. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Don't worry, I will return the money that Lin Luping borrowed from you."

Xie Yan also nodded quickly and agreed: "Yes, grandpa and grandma, don't worry, my dad is here."

Zhang Yongxian and his wife looked at each other in confusion, and they began to doubt Lin Luping's motives.

Zhang Yongxian and his wife looked at Xie Jianhua and his daughter with mixed emotions in their eyes. They felt sympathy for Xie Jianhua's experience, but also anger and disappointment at Lin Luping's behavior.

"Xiao Xie, don't blame yourself too much. We don't mean to blame you. As for the money, you can pay it back slowly. We're not in a hurry to use it." Professor Zhang Yongxian said earnestly, "It's just that Xiao Lin, although she had some minor flaws, she wasn't a bad person by nature. We never thought she would do such a thing."

Professor He Ying couldn't help but sigh. "Yes, we have lived to such an old age and have seen all kinds of people, but people like Xiao Lin are really rare. Xiao Xie, you must handle this matter properly."

Xie Jianhua nodded, his expression firm: "Master, Master's Wife, don't worry, I will definitely find Lin Luping, find out the truth of the matter, and then handle this matter properly."

Professor He Ying asked softly, "Why did Xiaolin do this? Her actions have caused great harm to you and your mother. Have you had any conflicts recently?"

Xie Jianhua gave a bitter smile, his heart filled with helplessness and anger: "I don't know why she did this. Maybe she had her own reasons, but no matter what, she shouldn't have lied to borrow money, especially to her master and his wife."

Professor Zhang Yongxian patted Xie Jianhua on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Xiao Xie, the most important thing for you right now is to find out the truth. If Xiao Lin is really lying, you must give her a good talk. You can't behave like this. A gentleman is upright and honest. I have always taught you this since you were students."

Xie Jianhua nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Master and Master's Wife, for your teachings. I will. I will find Lin Luping as soon as possible, find out the truth of the matter, and then handle this matter properly."
