Chapter: 6699
"What do you mean?!" Tavanna suddenly narrowed her eyes and asked, "Do you mean what he said is right? Then my perspective is wrong?"
Cui Fu nodded thoughtfully and continued, "I genuinely believe what he said was correct. We can support minority groups, but we shouldn't loudly proclaim it. When we promote something without any reservation, many young people will see it as a trend and imitate it..."
As Cui Fu spoke, he added, "I carefully considered this. It's like when I was young and didn't know the significance of tattoos. Those famous athletes and rappers all had cool tattoos, so I thought tattoos were the coolest thing in the world and wanted to get big, flashy ones on my legs and arms. My mom strictly forbade it, but I refused to give up and went to a tattoo shop alone. The shop owner refused to do business with me because I was underage without a guardian present. Now we're doing something that might have a similar influence on some minors..."
"Look, now we're supporting transgender minors who want to undergo gender-affirming surgery. Is this not the same situation as when I wanted tattoos? Tattoos still require parental consent, but why should surgery be exempt from parental consent? That's unfair! So I've been thinking about it nonstop..."
Tavanna suddenly felt betrayed and scolded, "We've been together for so long, and I went to great lengths to get a private plane to fly over US airspace just for you. Now you're stabbing me in the back, saying that some stranger we just met is more reasonable than me?!"
Cui Fu looked embarrassed as he said, "Emotionally, I naturally lean towards you, but logically, I genuinely believe what he said was correct..."
Tavanna spoke coldly, "OK, Cui Fu, shut your mouth. I don't want to hear it! When will you finally understand and come back to talk to me?"
Tavanna was clearly getting angry, and Cui Fu didn't know how to proceed for a moment.
He thought about saying something nice that the other party would like to hear, which could also ease the tense atmosphere between them.
But somehow, Lin Chen's previous words always made him think of his childhood and youth.
He remembered when he was young, American society was filled with all sorts of corrupt temptations - tattoos, smoking, and so on. Many friends at his age would join gangs or become addicted to drugs just because they wanted to follow the trends and be cool. Some people would even get involved in armed robberies before they turned 18 and ended up in prison or dead on the streets.
As for him, he was able to excel in baseball and earn a full scholarship to a top university, eventually joining professional leagues and reaching the pinnacle of his life career. Half of his achievements were due to his parents' guidance during his childhood and adolescence, whenever he started to stray from the normal path. They would always pull him back on track at critical moments.
Thinking about this, he couldn't help but feel that something was off.
At least, it shouldn't be because of a teenager's cognitive biases that deprive teenagers of their parents' supervisory rights or make irresponsible decisions for them.
Not to mention, relentlessly promoting these things would actually influence some young people who lack judgment and make them think these things are cool and trendy.
He couldn't help but say that he didn't support it, no matter what.
So he patiently told Tavanna: "Honey, we're looking at this issue calmly, and what Mr. Ye said is indeed very reasonable. When I was in junior high school, many classmates started smoking marijuana, and many people did it because of the social environment at that time, which made everyone think it was cool, even cooler than having their own pickup truck. As long as a guy smokes it, he's considered the coolest one in front of girls, and when a guy is surrounded by the smell of marijuana, all the girls will look up to him with admiration. Why? Because that's what the social environment is like at that time, and people are prone to adopting bad habits under such an environment."
"If it weren't for my mom constantly correcting me and guiding me in the right direction from the very beginning, I wouldn't be sitting here as your boyfriend or maybe even be dead or serving a sentence in Ohio state prison. So, some things we shouldn't overemphasize support and promotion, because that will lead to unexpected bad consequences."
Tavanna spoke coldly: "Caleb! What I want is a loyal supporter who stands by me, not someone who contradicts me and tells me what's right. I don't want to talk to you now; please just edit the video according to my requirements. If you can't do that, we should reconsider our relationship!"
As Tavanna remained stubbornly silent, Caleb was caught in a difficult situation.
The atmosphere between the two also became tense and awkward as Tavanna's anger intensified.
Meanwhile, Fee Canxin's car team had already arrived at Tokyo Dome's interior.
Before her car even stopped, she saw Ye Chen and Xiao Ru standing at the entrance. This made her feel a bit flustered and surprised that she came to visit Ye Chen but found him waiting for her by the door.
After her car stopped, she didn't wait for her assistant to open the door; instead, she got out of the car on her own.
Threeo Miyata saw her and immediately brought his wife and child forward to greet her. However, Fee Canxin simply ignored him and went straight up to Ye Chen's face, bowing low with a mixture of respect and shame: "Mr. Ye, Canxin has come to see you; how do I bear your coming out to receive me......"
