Ten years after graduating from high school, I accepted the class president's invitation and quietly attended our class reunion.
But when I arrived at the private room, I realized it was a trap.
"You have the nerve to show up to the reunion dressed like that?"
A lavishly dressed female classmate looked at me with disgust, and everyone else avoided me for looking so shabby.
Xu Yuan, who had ranked last in our class, swung a gold bank card in his hand, his face full of scorn.
"Well, look who's here, our top student."
"I hear things have gone pretty badly for you over the years. I'll be generous and treat you to a nice meal today!"
He smugly patted the class president on the shoulder, and the latter smiled obsequiously.
Only then did I realize that he had been bragging about how well he was doing, and many of our classmates were fawning over him.
I glanced at the familiar bank card in his hand and raised an eyebrow.
"Xu Yuan, is that your card? Because I could have sworn this card... was the one I gave to a hostess as a tip half a month ago."
