Earlier, Kou Yu mocked Qiu Tu.
This time... Liu Xiongyuan, who has always harbored animosity toward Yan Chen, also chuckled.
Having already given up hope for a promotion, he crossed his legs, picking at his yellow teeth, and then sneered, "Speaker Qiu is absolutely right."
"After all, despite certain tensions between some high-ranking individuals and Speaker Qiu, even their daughters haven't been able to resist Speaker Qiu's charm—they've thrown themselves at him willingly."
"Speaker Qiu has absolutely no motive to do such things."
Though his words seemed to defend Qiu Tu, his gaze never left Yan Chen while he spoke.
Everyone at the table was well aware of the full story of the incident, so they also knew that the person Qiu Tu slept with that night was Yanyan, not Xue'er.
As a result, the glances toward Yan Chen momentarily carried a peculiar undertone.
However... Yan Chen was nothing if not a cunning old fox.
