Xia Ruya was extremely quick to act. She declared her stand on the internet the following day. She expressed her displeasure towards the press and tabloids for insulting her and tarnishing her reputation. She even published a digital copy of the lawyer's letter that she had sent to the media agencies and tabloids on the internet together with the analysis of her scandal. The lawyers had deemed the comments about her as personal attacks and the culprits would have to face punishment by the law.
The following day, the reputable media agencies and tabloids stopped reporting about Xia Ruya and even issued a public apology.
Xia Ruya's scandal gradually died down. Although there were still some small tabloids which continued to report about the matter, they dared not do it so brazenly.
