Since Li Yiru was mentioned, Xia Siyu obviously wanted to shift the blame onto her: "I saw that Yiru seems to have something to say."
Li Yiru had indeed not acted for quite a long time due to secretly getting pregnant and giving birth, followed by several months of recovery. Of course, although she hadn't been acting, she did have some films stored up from before, so she wasn't completely inactive. Additionally, though she switched sponsors from her previous one to the current one, Bo Qiliu, who provided enough money, it didn't help her achieve stardom.
Li Yiru certainly didn't want to bring up her secret childbirth. Publicly, it was said she spent a year selecting scripts and finally found one she liked.
