Jiang Yiniing sat at home with her cellphone in hand, waiting. With Gao Shengyan's help in mediating, she wasn't as worried anymore, thinking that even if Tang Li didn't acknowledge their close friendship from their school days, she wouldn't kick her while she was down.
At 3 p.m., Tang Li posted a Weibo update.
[Tang Li V]:"I posted two photos at noon and it caused such a controversy, so now I'd like to clarify: 1. Jiang Yiniing and I were classmates in university and shared a dormitory for a year; 2. Given my reclusive nature, I have never had a 'bestie'; 3. Maybe I will have a 'bestie' in the future."
To most netizens, Tang Li had given Jiang Yiniing some face by acknowledging that they were roommates and smoothly explaining away the situation, yet she had neatly denied the claim that they were best friends.
