Chapter 540: Overthinking
Xie Beiheng did not hide anything and talked about Nan Chuji.
Nan Chuji had completed his doctoral studies at the age of 23 and was teaching at a good university, which made Wen Lan very satisfied.
Xie Beiheng was different from Xie Nanchen, who was cold and reserved outside. He was uninhibited and frivolous and could get along with girls of any personality.
It was this "universal love" that made Xie Beiheng lack the sense of boundaries with the opposite sex.
Wen Lan thought Xie Beiheng liked avant-garde non-mainstream girls, but she didn't expect that his vision for finding a girlfriend was similar to Xie Nanchen's.
She was both happy and relieved.
She was very satisfied with Nan Chuji's education, but when she heard that Nan Chuji was five years older than Xie Beiheng, she took a breath and stared at her son, "Think carefully, don't chase the girl with a five-year age difference and then use age as an excuse in the future."
"I'm not that kind of person!" Xie Beiheng hurriedly explained, "Nan Chuji is already very good, so good that she won't even look at me. If I continue to eat and drink for free, I will never catch up with her in this life."
"She is good, and my son is not bad either. It's just that the age difference between you is destined to make you at a disadvantage now." Wen Lan heard the inferiority in Xie Beiheng's voice and hurried to comfort him.
Xie Beiheng continued to help Nan Chuji: "Although she is five years older than me, she has devoted herself to her studies for many years and is well protected by her family. She is not as experienced as me in social skills and life experience."
"You have already taken a fancy to her, so you will definitely speak for her. What kind of person is she? Mom wants to meet her and understand her before making a final conclusion." Wen Lan looked at her son, "Pick a time and ask her to have a meal for me."
"Wait until you come to Country Y next time to make an appointment." Xie Beiheng declined politely, "She has a lot of classes recently, and I haven't made an appointment several times."
Because he knew that even if he made an appointment, Nan Chuji would not go.
Wen Lan didn't want her son to be too embarrassed, so he readily agreed and asked about Nan Chuji's family situation.
Xie Beiheng stood in the position of Nan Chuji's official boyfriend and polished the information he heard from others, which made Wen Lan very happy.
Before going to bed, Wen Lan shared the good news with Xie Yansheng as soon as possible.
It was morning on Xie Yansheng's side, and he was in a meeting. He only said, "He doesn't seem to study hard, but he is quite good at chasing girls," and then hung up the phone.
As a mother, Wen Lan still wanted to meet Nan Chuji and help Xie Beiheng check.
Although Xie Beiheng found a hundred reasons not to let her meet Nan Chuji now, she still met Nan Chuji on the third day after arriving in Country Y.
To be precise, she waited for Nan Chuji at the school gate.
Except for his height, Nan Chuji's facial features are very delicate, and his gestures are full of bookish air.
Wen Lan was a fashion designer, and she could see at a glance that although Nan Chuji's clothes seemed to be modest, they were all big brands.
Nan Chuji's appearance made people feel comfortable at first glance, and Xie Beiheng did not lie to her. She took the initiative to step forward and called "Teacher Nan".
Nan Chuji was stunned for a moment, staring at Wen Lan, and murmured in surprise, "Are you Mrs. Xie?"
She had seen news online about Xie Yansheng and his wife attending various events. A wealthy lady like Wen Lan, who has a good appearance and good social skills, is very eye-catching.
Especially when Xie Beiheng went to TheOne freight department to work part-time, she began to pay attention to things related to Xie Beiheng.
For some reason, the various industries under Shengyan, as well as Xie Beiheng's parents, became the focus of her attention.
Sometimes she felt unreasonable and forced herself not to think about things related to Xie Beiheng, but for some reason, she couldn't control it at all.
When Wen Lan appeared, she recognized her without much effort.
At this time, Wen Lan only put on light makeup, and her long hair had been cut into shoulder-length short hair, with slightly curled hair ends, mature and capable.
Wen Lan was wearing a white cashmere short coat with a good texture, and the base shirt and trousers inside were all black, exuding an indescribable elegance and gentleness.
"I'm Wen Lan, Xie Beiheng's mother." Wen Lan introduced herself with a smile and explained, "I came to Country Y to see Beiheng. I had nothing to do today so I went around and somehow ended up at your school."
Nan Chuji knew she was lying and agreed with a smile, "Our school has nice scenery. Madam Xie can walk around and take a look. I won't accompany you."
"Teacher Nan, although Beiheng has been here for two or three years, I'm not familiar with your school at all. If possible, please walk around the campus with me." Wen Lan didn't want to miss this opportunity to get to know Nan Chuji.
Nan Chuji looked embarrassed, but seeing that Wen Lan had no intention of giving in, he agreed with a stiff upper lip.
The two walked slowly through the landmark buildings on campus that symbolize freedom and peace. The golden sunset enveloped the spire of the Christian church, and a group of pigeons foraging on the ground flew up, peaceful and quiet.
Nan Chuji was not good at dealing with strangers, and he was embarrassed to take the initiative to bring up the topic several times.
In just a few minutes, Wen Lan knew that this was a shy girl, who had a completely different personality from her talkative son.
One was uninhibited and frivolous, the other was calm and composed. If they really wanted to go on, their personalities would definitely complement each other.
More importantly, Nan Chuji got a doctorate at the age of 23, which was enough to show that she was rich in heart and could endure loneliness.
Wen Lan was squeezed by Xie's mother when she was young. Now, facing the relationship between her children, except for Nuan Nuan who did not follow the ordinary path, she fully supported and blessed them.
After Xie Nanchen's high school entrance examination, Xie Yansheng was angry for a few days because Jin Xia refused to go abroad for further studies. She stood on the side of Xie Nanchen and Jin Xia without hesitation.
Because she had experienced the pain of being suppressed by her elders, she never wanted her children to repeat the path she had taken.
She looked at Nan Chuji and started a conversation, "I have been in Country Y for a few days and have heard Beiheng mention Teacher Nan. I came to the school out of curiosity and didn't expect to meet him."
"Mrs. Xie, please don't misunderstand. Xie Beiheng is just one of my many students. I only treat him as a junior." Nan Chuji showed his attitude.
Wen Lan laughed in disbelief, not meaning to embarrass her, "Sorry, Teacher Nan, I always hear Bei Heng talking about you, and I always thought Bei Heng liked you and you were in love."
"Xie Bei Heng is my student, I swear, I don't have any feelings for him beyond the teacher-student relationship." Nan Chuji blushed as she spoke, "He is a straightforward boy, sometimes he speaks out of his mind and says some irrelevant things, I don't take it to heart."
"So that's the case, I was overthinking." Wen Lan was embarrassed to continue the topic, and hurriedly asked about Nan Chuji's situation in a tactful way.
Nan Chuji was generous and told the truth.
Wen Lan and Nan Chuji finished their conversation and went back to their residence, and she couldn't help but sweat for Xie Bei Heng.
Because Nan Chuji's attitude told her that Xie Bei Heng was wishful thinking.
