I attended my high school homeroom teacher's retirement party. Though we hadn't seen each other in years, my classmates still enjoyed putting me down for being a poor top scorer. Yin Linfeng embellished the story of how I was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme in college and had to drop out, then mocked me, saying that if I couldn't find a wife, he could introduce me to a distant cousin who was divorced and had a child.
He bragged that after the New Year, he was about to secure a partnership with Ruiyang Real Estate and enjoy endless wealth and luxury.
I chuckled. Hadn't his father told him? The person in charge of Ruiyang Real Estate had the surname Mu, the same Mu as my name, Muyang.
