"And over seven million, what kind of concept is that? You’re not fooling everyone, are you?"
She cos from a dual inco family with the governnt, and they still have a mortgage at ho. Although the housing fund covers the entire mortgage, their family’s savings are only a few hundred thousand.
Ren Yan didn’t bother to explain and showed everyone a screenshot on her phone.
Everyone looked and was even more shocked, seeing a seven-digit number before the decimal point starting with 8.
Over 8.53 million!
Additionally, there were Xu Lin’s bank deposit screenshot and manuscript paynt receipt information.
In their provincial capital, with so extra money, they could even buy an ordinary villa outright!
Everyone was amazed.
The civil servant who was at odds with Ren Yan quickly spotted sothing interesting and said, "Which novel is this? Let see."
This question really stumped Ren Yan.
Because Xu Lin hadn’t told her the na of the novel, and she hadn’t asked.
Fortunately, another civil servant suddenly said, "Sister Ren, your son’s manuscript fee looks familiar to . Isn’t it from this novel? Oh, I knew it, the character inside has the exact sa na as you, also called Ren Yan!"
What’s going on?
Everyone looked at this civil servant, who was one of the younger ones here, about twenty-eight or nine. It’s quite normal for him to read novels, and Xu Lin’s book is popular, so many people know about it and read it.
Ren Yan pressed, "Which novel?"
"This one!"
He opened the hopage of "My 26-year-old Miss Maybach," and everyone saw it.
The website announcent ntioned Xu Lin’s manuscript fee, and it matched Ren Yan’s fee screenshot, though the screenshots were different—the website’s announcent was a computer version, while Xu Lin’s screenshot was from a mobile version.
When everyone saw it, it all matched up.
This person added, "This novel is amazing. Last month’s manuscript fee exceeded 8.53 million, exactly like Sister Ren’s fee picture, and the author recently sold the copyright. Do you know how much the copyright sold for? A whole hundred million, a sky-high price! The author ntioned they’d get 40 million right into their hands! Oh, and the author also replied to netizens that he’s a freshman in a 211 university! Sister Ren, is this author your son?"
"This is my son!"
Ren Yan glanced at the character list and spotted three familiar nas.
Xu Lin.
Chi Linyue.
And herself, Ren Yan!
If this isn’t written by Xu Lin, she’ll do a headstand while washing her hair!
Ren Yan added, "Oh, I rember now. My son also ntioned recently that he sold the copyright and wanted to surprise his mom. I didn’t expect it to be this much!"
Everyone present was deeply shocked.
Even the head of the departnt, the most influential person there, was taken aback.
Damn, even embezzling doesn’t easily get you 40 million!
The head couldn’t help but say, "Xiao Ren, your son is impressive, being able to write and earn so much money. He must be very talented, like that famous writer from back then who had insights into history and society far beyond average people. How high has the officialdom reached now?"
The rest of the gathering revolved around Xu Lin, praising how Ren Yan raised such an outstanding son.
Ren Yan maintained a calm deanor, but privately, she was smiling so wide she could burst, and when she looked at the woman who provoked her earlier, the woman sat there speechless. Ren Yan was relieved and couldn’t be happier.
That night, the news reached the law firm, and everyone was discussing how remarkable Lawyer Ren was, with many ssaging Ren Yan for details, but she didn’t reply.
She quickly sent a ssage to Xu Lin to confirm, but the boy left her waiting all night.
In that night, Ms. Ren finished reading Xu Lin’s novel.
By the next morning, Xu Lin finally responded.
Ms. Ren said, "I see in the novel you wrote, I’m an evil mom who stops you from being with Chi Linyue, am I right?"
Ren Yan rembered Chi Linyue. That girl was too beautiful; even in her youth, she wasn’t that pretty. Plus, Chi Linyue drove a Maybach S680, indicating her family was very wealthy. The Chi Linyue in the novel felt exactly the sa as in real life.
Ren Yan even suspected her son might have a crush on Chi Linyue.
Xu Lin: "You took the novel seriously?"
Ms. Ren: "Do you like that woman?"
Ren Yan was worldly and had studied law, touching on so psychological knowledge. She’s aware that eighteen-year-old boys are immature, and Rong Xiyan liked older won, while so older won could be quite eager, targeting young guys. How could eighteen or nineteen-year-old boys resist those beautiful mature won?
Ren Yan was afraid her son might be deceived.
Xu Lin: "Stop!"
Xu Lin: "Was my manuscript fee over eight million before taxes last month, and over seven million taken ho?"
"Yes."
"Do you have that kind of money?"
"No."
Ren Yan quickly checked her bank account, finding she only had over 3.5 million in savings, just enough for a down paynt for her son to buy a house in Jiangdu.
"How much is a villa in the provincial capital over there?"
"A general one costs several million, a good villa, several tens of million."
Xu Lin sent her the latest bank deposit screenshot. This card had over 48 million.
"I received the copyright paynt, 40 million in hand. Now this card has so much, enough to buy a villa, right?"
"So much money?"
Ren Yan was very shocked, enlarging the screenshot and counting the digits before the decimal.
Not seven digits, but eight, starting with 4.
Xu Lin: "So earning money is what counts. Why are you concerned about what’s written in the novel? Can’t separate reality from fiction?"
