After explaining the reason why the dog attacked Li, her manager also stated that Ye has been remorseful of what has happened and even asked her manager to visit Li at the hospital on her behalf. However, Ju Chunlei, whose wife is a good friend of Li, visited the actress instead as the manager was busy. Additionally, the actress offered to pay for the hospital bills.

The manager then continued to explain that Ju sent photos of the extent of Li's injuries to Ye's manager which were then forwarded to the actress, who was unfortunately not able to visit Li.
