The next morning, Shen Lan's personal account posted a Weibo.
[Shen Lan V: Thanks everyone for your concern about our show. Jiang Li and Director Sun are indeed innocent, but I am not entirely blameless, because she's my niece.
She was indeed placed on this variety show by my arrangement, because as everyone knows, the production of this show had not been going smoothly. Just one month before the scheduled broadcast we signed contracts with two of the guests, so to be on the safe side and to enhance the show's effect, I arranged for my nephew and niece to come and fill the numbers.
I didn't disclose it to everyone in advance because I was afraid it would affect their transformations. From Director Sun to the staff, no one knew about our relationship. However, I did not expect this well-intentioned lie to cause them and everyone such great trouble. So, after much thought, I decided to make it public.
