Despite her reluctance, Zhou Linna quickly issued an apology statement due to the unfavorable situation.

[I am deeply sorry for the misunderstanding with Ling Jiao. I was unaware of the situation and wrongly accused Miss Ling. I hereby offer my sincere apologies.]

After the apology statement was released, Zhou Linna's fans expressed their heartache.

[As long as you acknowledge your mistakes and correct them, we will still wholeheartedly support you.]

[He did fall, it was just a misunderstanding, but some fans are making it sound like he's trying to scam someone.]

[Since it was a misunderstanding, an apology is enough. Keep making better music!]

[It's been so tough for Lina to get back on her feet; we'll always support your music.]

[You admit your mistakes and correct them; you dare to take responsibility for your actions. We understand and forgive you, and we will always support you.]

...

Before Ling Jiao could say anything, Zhou Linna's apology statement was released, and her own fans were the first to feel sorry for her and forgive her.

Many people even went to Ling Jiao's Weibo account to comment.

She has already apologized, please forgive her.

[I also apologize for my inappropriate remarks a few days ago. Please forgive Lina.]

[It wasn't easy for Lina to return to the music scene; please forgive her.]

...

Before Ling Jiao could speak, Fu Shiyi retorted first.

"Misunderstanding? Wrongful accusation? Back then, you said in front of the reporters that they didn't apologize to you, but now that the truth has come out, you call it a misunderstanding?"

Fu Shiyi's fans had previously spoken up for Ling Jiao and Luo Qianqian, and had also been attacked by Zhou Linna's fans, so now they naturally joined forces to fight back.

[This apology was half-hearted; I didn't see any sincerity in it.]

[Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? You tried to scam someone to get an endorsement deal but failed, and now you're denying it?]

[Although I'm not a fan of Ling Jiao, she has always been dedicated to her acting, never creating scandals or getting into feuds, yet people still try to take advantage of her.]

[Zhou Linna's fans are really funny. Ling Jiao, who was wrongly accused, hasn't even said she's forgiven her yet, so what are they forgiving?]

[Now they're blaming us for being so sensitive, but why didn't they say anything when their own fans were criticizing Ling Jiao for half a month? Double standards.]

[And a group of people went to the victim's Weibo account demanding forgiveness, saying things like "Lina had a tough time," but who really had a tough time?]

...

Ling Jiao's agent saw the apology statement and immediately asked for her opinion.

"Zhou Linna has already issued an apology statement, but it's clearly obscuring the main points. Do you want to reply?"

They clearly framed Ling Jiao on purpose, but now that the matter has been investigated, they claim it was a misunderstanding. I've never seen anyone so shameless.

Moreover, Zhou Linna's fans were crying and pleading under Ling Jiao's Weibo post, saying that Zhou Linna had had a tough time and asking for forgiveness this time.

She stole other people's works on her own initiative; no one forced her. It's only right that she pays the price when she's caught.

It's no easy feat for them to return after being silent for several years.

Ling Jiao has been adventuring alone for so many years, has she ever told anyone that she has had a hard time?

Ling Jiao reluctantly opened Weibo on her phone and posted a message without any expression: [Whether you apologize or not is your business, whether I forgive you or not is my business. I will not forgive you.]

As soon as she said that, Zhou Linna's fans jumped up in anger.

[Lina has already apologized, what more do you want?]

We're all in the same circle, why make things so tense? Leave room for maneuver, so you can meet again in the future.

[They've already admitted their mistake, what more do they want?]

...

Although the situation on Weibo was still quite serious, Zhou Linna was too lazy to look at it anymore.

Anyway, it won't be long before even bigger news breaks, and this whole thing will quickly lose its popularity and nobody will care anymore.

However, just as she was waiting for her management team to release even bigger news to cover up her scandal, Fu Shiyi suddenly updated her Weibo account a few hours later.

[If my information is correct, Zhou Linna's team will drop a bombshell within 12 hours regarding a top-tier diva.]
