After being forced to travel through time by accident, I became famous in the entertainment industry

Xu Zhao didn't know Shen Yu's given name at all, so she ignored the voice. Until she heard Shen Yu say doubtfully, "Minsi?"

Only then did Xu Zhao raise his head and look to the side.

A handsome man with a jade face came towards me, wearing gorgeous clothes under the fox fur coat. His fox eyes were so bright and dazzling that they seemed to be able to suck people in.

Looking at Wang Xingrui's eyes, a sentence suddenly flashed through Xu Zhao's mind: These eyes are full of affection even when looking at dogs!

Xu Zhao pursed his lips and chuckled, but the other two didn't notice.

"It's been years since we last met. I didn't expect you still remembered me!" Wang Xingrui didn't hesitate to sit down across from Xu Zhao. "There are no private rooms on the second floor. Do you mind sharing a table?"

Hearing him say this, but his butt was already touching the stool, could Xu Zhao still disagree?

As soon as Wang Xingrui saw Shen Yu, he noticed the girl beside her. "Look at the way this girl is dressed. Is she your maid?"

The clothes Xu Zhao wore today were bought on the way back to the imperial city. The material was much softer than that at the border, but it was still not comparable to the clothes sold in the clothing stores in the imperial city.

In addition, she did not wear any accessories on her head today, and her hair was just casually tied up, which was indeed different from the dress of the young ladies in the imperial city.

Before Shen Yu could refute, Wang Xingrui said to himself: "No, no, although this girl is dressed simply, she is very beautiful and her temperament is not like that of an ordinary woman. She should not be your maid."

After self-denial, he turned his face to one of disdain, "You've never liked being served by palace maids since you were a child. On the battlefield, you probably have to do everything yourself. You're not a womanizer, so this girl is definitely not your maid!"

At the end, Wang Xingrui's tone became firm.

"I wonder what I call the girl?"

"My surname is Xu, and my given name is Zhao."

"Xu Zhao, meaning fulfilling one's wishes and bringing peace and tranquility every year, is a name with a good meaning."

The ancients loved to play with names.

Her character Zhao means sun. When her parents were thinking of a name, they hoped that she would have a brilliant life like the sun, so they used this character.

When it came out of the mouth of the person in front of me, the meaning became interesting.

Xu Zhao did not refute, but just smiled as if he agreed.

"Miss Xu looks really pretty when she smiles. She should smile more often and not be like some people who always have a stern face." While praising Xu Zhao, Wang Xingrui did not forget to belittle Shen Yu.

Xu Zhao naturally understood what he meant. She pursed her lips and smiled. She idly turned the cup beside her and asked Shen Yu, "Is this young man your friend?"

Shen Yu rolled his eyes at Wang Xingrui. After not seeing him for many years, this man's mouth was still as poisonous as before.

Reluctantly, he introduced: "His name is Wang Xingrui. He narcissistically believes that he has a sharp mind, so he named himself Minsi. He is the son of the Dali Temple Minister. He once won the top three places in the imperial examination and now holds the fourth rank official position as the Dali Temple Junior Minister."

Xu Zhao nodded. "Father and son fight in battle. I guess you and your son must have a harmonious relationship in the officialdom."

Shen Yu sneered when he heard this. Even though he was not in the imperial city, the transfer of officials in the imperial city and what happened in the court were all compiled by the spies and sent to him.

He had heard some of the conflicts between officials.

The two officials of the Dali Temple often quarreled over cases, but when they returned home, they were still able to be loving father and filial son. This was one of the wonders in the imperial city.

Shen Yu randomly picked two things between father and son and told them to Xu Zhao. After listening, Xu Zhao covered his mouth and laughed secretly to show respect.

Wang Xingrui: “…”

There were many people in the imperial city who talked about them behind their backs, but now they had encountered someone talking about it openly to their faces.

He coughed lightly, "I'm still here, I can hear you!" He glared at Shen Yu fiercely.

"I didn't avoid you on purpose because I wanted you to hear it."

"Shen Wujue, you! You..." Wang Xingrui was furious. They had been friends for many years, but he didn't expect that their feelings would eventually fade!

"What's wrong with me? Is it possible that what I said is not true?"

Wang Xingrui was sad because it was the truth. His good friend said bad things about him in front of a beautiful girl, which would affect his image.

Wang Xingrui pretended to be angry and said in a deep voice: "You are destroying my reputation by slandering me like this!" The corners of his fox eyes were tinged with a hint of melancholy, and he deliberately slammed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.

"Reputation? You, Wang Minsi, still have this thing?"

Shen Yu took a sip of tea with disdain.

There is melon!

Xu Zhao's eyes lit up, as if he smelled something exciting.

Xu Zhao said, "Is there a story behind this? Tell me about it!"

Wang Xingrui rushed forward and said sternly, "Shen Wujue, you are not allowed to say anything!"

His voice was so loud that everyone in the hall looked over.

Wang Xingrui's brocade clothes were very eye-catching and obviously very expensive.

The guests in the restaurant knew that he was of noble status, so they didn't dare to stare at them, but that didn't stop them from pricking up their ears to listen!

The sound of voices entering their ears was something they could not control.

It’s so annoying. I have to listen to gossip even though I don’t want to!

Shen Yu naturally would not listen to Wang Xingrui and simply ignored what he had just said.

He always answered Xu Zhao's questions if he could.

"Shen Wujue... I beg you..." Wang Xingrui spoke slowly, his pronunciation clear and his tone a little drawn out, as if he was afraid of being rejected.

He felt that he was ignored by Shen Yu, and immediately put on a pitiful expression, with red eyes, looking at him pleadingly.

"Oh!" It was rare to hear such a pleading word from this arrogant man, but unfortunately, his heart was as hard as stone! He would definitely not be swayed by a few words from him.

Seeing that pretending to be pitiful was useless, Wang Xingrui added another bargaining chip, "Uncle! Give your nephew some face!"

Hearing the unfamiliar name, Xu Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Yu in confusion. There was such a relationship between these two people.

Shen Yu explained: "My mother is her mother's aunt, so we are indeed related by blood."

"I didn't expect you to have such a younger brother than me. You two seem to be about the same age, so you should have a good relationship."

"My cousin and I were born in the same year and grew up together, so naturally we have a close relationship!" Wang Xingrui had a proud look on his face and did not blush at all when he called his cousin.

"Those few times you just heard him call him cousin, he has probably called him that no more than ten times in the past thirty years, and each time he had something to ask for." Shen Yu exposed him without any hesitation, not giving him any face at all.

The two are of similar age, and Shen Yu does not force Wang Xingrui to call him uncle.

Wang Xingrui was ashamed and angry: "Shen Wujue, you are so shameless!"

"Listen, is this what a good nephew would say?" Shen Yu was not polite in his words.

Listening to the conversation between the uncle and nephew, Xu Zhao just found it interesting.

But she was more concerned about Wang Xingrui's reputation, and asked curiously, "So what's his reputation about?"
