They were still trying to justify themselves, but this was really giving up, complaining about the “evil mother-in-law.” Especially with everyone associating the mother-in-law’s image with Xia Yiwei, it became even funnier. Xu Siyu wasn’t done yet, rambling, “You don’t even see it; who in all of Huaxia can handle your mom? Tang Shuangqin has gone bald from it!” Tang Shuangqin happened to be sitting in the audience, and once mentioned, the audience burst out laughing and turned to look at him. Tang Shuangqin played along, patting his head in a mock innocent manner, accepting the joke. “Come on, you’re using outdated information. Now Director Tang is happy to let me bring my mom into the cast; didn’t you see the news?” Qi Shejiang pointed at him, “I can see you just love to complain.” Xu Siyu slammed the table: “Who are you talking about? Who? You never help me!” From the audience, people joined in shouting: “Scumbag!” “Divorce!” “Let me do it!” Xu Siyu burst into laughter, pointing at the audience, “Does it make sense that you’re saying ‘let me do it?’” After regaining composure, she spat, “Get lost; none of you jokers are good men!” “How come you’re still angry?” Qi Shejiang tapped the table with a fan, asking, “Are you trying to get fired?” “I actually won’t serve anymore, get lost!” Xu Siyu threw her handkerchief at Qi Shejiang and angrily stormed off the stage.
Normally, when an actor gets genuinely annoyed and walks off, it enhances the stage effect. But right now, Qi Shejiang didn’t stop her, and Xu Siyu didn’t return; she just exited the stage, vanishing from sight. One second, two seconds, three seconds passed, and she still didn’t come back. Laughter and shouts from the audience continued, and eventually, there was some confusion: did Xu Siyu really leave?
Qi Shejiang calmly folded the handkerchief, tidied up the stage, and casually said, “If she wants to leave, let her leave; it’s hard to find a three-legged toad, and a queen… no, a supporting role is even harder to find.” He tilted his head and shouted toward the backstage, “Let me ask if there’s anyone who wants to come up!”
