Evolutionary Superstar

Chapter 61: You Want to Guard Her Future; I Only Want to Protect Her Innocence

"What do you want to debate, Classmate Mu? Scandal backlashes? Resource allocation? Or opportunity limits?" Lin Haoren calmly asked.

"So you do know," Mu Qingxue uttered, her gaze becoming cold.

Since Lin Haoren was aware of the consequences, yet still wanted to hold Su Xiaoran back, this showed he was selfish and only cared about himself.

Mu Qingxue’s impression of Lin Haoren quickly dropped to rock bottom.

"With Ranran’s looks and talent, she will become a big star sooner or later," Lin Haoren calmly said.

"It doesn’t matter whether she receives fewer opportunities or resources. What’s important is that she is happy with her choices."

"Instead of telling me what is good for Ranran, you should be asking Ranran what she really wants," Lin Haoren coolly stated.

Mu Qingxue frowned, arguing back, "Ranran is young and naive. She doesn’t know what is good for her."

"And you do?" Lin Haoren retorted disdainfully, saying, "Just because you believe you know what is best for her, it doesn’t give you the right to overwrite her own will and wishes."

"Do you think she will be happy or depressed if she follows your arrangements? Don’t you know mental health is a serious problem in this industry?"

"How many people do you think commit suicide each year because of mental health problems?"

"And of those who could persevere and work hard for their career, how many do you think suddenly pass away due to other health complications?"

"Not everyone has your luck, not everyone has your opportunities, and definitely not everyone wishes to live your way."

"Forcing your beliefs on others will only provoke their rebellious nature. Ranran is already an adult with her own thoughts and values."

"Talking to me about what is best for her is pointless because only what she wants matters," Lin Haoren stated.

Mu Qingxue felt stifled and suppressed by Lin Haoren’s words. She could see some truth in them, but she also believed he was too idealistic.

How could a person achieve both success and happiness without some sacrifices?

Some early hardship was necessary for a stable future.

Without any monetary foundation, people wouldn’t even have the right to pursue their own happiness.

"Are you aware of Ranran’s financial situation, Classmate Lin? Do you know her parents’ situation?"

"Do you think she can earn enough to support her parents once her opportunities and resources are limited?"

"Do you even know why she wanted to pursue acting? It’s because making money is very easy once you succeed!"

"However, most people can’t even enter the industry, even if they wanted to, while Ranran has the potential to vie for the top."

"Do you really want such a talent held back by you?" Mu Qingxue asked seriously.

Lin Haoren smiled as he admitted, "I certainly don’t know much about Ranran compared to you in this aspect, Classmate Mu."

"However, based on your words, I can confidently say making money isn’t her original intention. It’s just a means to a goal."

"Ranran wants to earn lots of money to support her parents and make them proud; this is pursuing happiness, not money in and of itself."

"Money is just required to achieve it. As such, you can’t set money as the primary focus. If Ranran has to sacrifice her happiness for money, then the original intention is lost."

"Everyone lives their life at a different pace. If you really care about Ranran, you would respect her wishes," Lin Haoren said.

"Moreover, if she urgently required money, wouldn’t you have lent her money? Or can’t you? No need to act so noble in front of me, Classmate Mu. I’m sure you have your own selfish motives for urging Ranran’s success."

Mu Qingxue’s contract with her agency was ending, and she was planning to be her own boss. Su Xiaoran was a talent she wanted to sign to help her earn money.

"Hmph! So what if I do? I’ve never mistreated Ranran. On the contrary, I’ve treated her very well," Mu Qingxue snorted stubbornly.

"But what about you? Can you say that you don’t have selfish intentions as well?"

"I’ve never denied it," Lin Haoren shrugged with a casual smile and said, "We just have different priorities when it comes to Ranran. You want to guard her future; I only want to protect her innocence."

"As for resources and opportunities, these aren’t actually big problems," Lin Haoren honestly thought.

Once he raised his skills to a sufficient level, he wouldn’t be lacking resources in the entertainment industry.

If there was no good script, he would just write one. If there was no good song, he could write that too.

As for filming roles...

If his stories were adapted, he could use his author’s privilege to cast Su Xiaoran into any suitable role.

Of course, all these possibilities were under the assumption that his system doesn’t suddenly decide to pack up and run off.

"Hmph, big talk!" Mu Qingxue snorted.

Resources and opportunities weren’t actually big problems?

No, they were the biggest problems!

Although Mu Qingxue firmly believed this, she couldn’t be bothered to argue with Lin Haoren further.

He was right about one thing.

Neither of them had the power to decide anything. Their arguments were pointless. Su Xiaoran’s choice to date or not was solely her choice to make.

No one could decide for her.

"I’m leaving, Classmate Lin. No need to see me out." Mu Qingxue walked out of the bedroom with a sulky look.

"Alright," Lin Haoren smiled, thinking not much of their conversation.

"Ranran, I’m heading back. Do you want to sleep over at my place tonight?"

"No, I want to sleep... at home."

Mu Qingxue’s expression soured, but she quickly accepted her decision and left with Assistant Yu after saying goodbye.

Meanwhile, Su Xiaoran heaved a sigh of relief, patting her chest to calm her panicked heart.

She had almost said she wanted to sleep over at Brother Lin’s place again. Mu Qingxue would likely lose her mind over it.

After all, the idea already sounded preposterous, and there was actually a precedent.

However, what could she do?

Sleeping at Lin Haoren’s place was simply too comfortable. Moreover, she had to be bold in pursuing love.

Otherwise, there might not be any development.
