Last week, Jiang Xu and Zhou Qingyue made all the necessary preparations.
The fervor had reached its peak, and from now on it would only decline.
The time was ripe; it was time to launch the counterattack.
First, Zhou Qingyue released a video statement.
The statement was exclusively posted on Daily Headlines.
In the video, one could see Zhou Qingyue with sunken eyes, extremely dark circles, lifeless eyes, and deathly pale skin, her lips devoid of any color.
Well, the dark circles and lifeless eyes were due to staying up late playing mahjong.
The skin and lips were deliberately made up to look that way.
Normally, after suffering such a long period of cyberbullying, one's condition would definitely be poor.
This was done to appear pitiful and garner sympathy.
"Hello everyone, I am Zhou Qingyue. The recent events have caused quite a stir, and I would like to apologize to everyone first," she said.
After speaking, she bowed deeply to the camera.
