Xie Yongan was an old fox, after all. Even called out to his face, he showed not a trace of displeasure and replied with a smile,
"It was all a misunderstanding. Boss Luo, don't believe those rumors online. If there really had been any so-called abuse, Chen wouldn't have grown up healthy, much less given us such a wonderful surprise!"
As for what that surprise referred to,

[It's too late to suck up now. Look, is Brother Chen even giving you the time of day?!]
[I honestly admire this father-son pair. They're obviously trying to buy their way onto the show, aren't they?! They got dragged so badly in the first two seasons, yet they still have the nerve to show up for season three?! They just can't get enough abuse!]

He suddenly showed up at the filming location just to undo the awful image of him that's already taken shape online!
