The incident naturally caused a huge stir online, with its popularity skyrocketing.
The Film Emperor's popularity still existed, even after such a long time, there would still be many die-hard fans.
They were unwilling to let the Film Emperor associate with a woman of ill repute, naturally going to great lengths to protect him.
Given the significant impact of the situation, the Film Emperor was, of course, aware of it and to avoid further impacting Wen Zhi's life, logged into his account to apologize to Wen Zhi and took the opportunity to explain the reason they were dining together.
[I'm truly grateful for the fans' affection and defense of me, but I also hope you can stay absolutely rational in viewing this matter. Just a few photos do not prove everything; Miss Wen is a very nice person, in terms of character and personality. I deeply apologize for the distress she has suffered during this time.]
