The next morning, everyone in the capital and across the country was surprised to see breaking news. Chen Xu had released an apology video. In the video, she looked as though she'd been haunted by a ghost since her scandal began.
The dark circles under her eyes were very convincing, and the way her voice cracked while she spoke managed to soften the hearts of many watching. In the video, she wore a white dress, her hair let down, which accentuated her frail and haggard appearance.
The video began with her crying profusely and saying, "These past few days have been very hard for me because of the scandal going on, but I want to assure everyone that I was not involved in any way with the incident at Businessman Zhou's bar. What happened was, I had gone there to unwind with friends after a long day of filming, and I didn't expect that Businessman Zhou would be such a terrible person."
