Chapter 442: The Truth

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

After she finished writing her manuscript, she found out that Su Xiu had no intention of getting married and was determined to find a live-in son-in-law at home. She regretted it deeply at that time; she wouldn’t have rushed to write the manuscript if she had known.

The original manuscript that Su Wen presented was easily recognizable, especially to Zhou Yan, who had seen countless copies of the second version. She knew Su Wen’s handwriting like the back of her hand. Her expression changed on the spot. With a gloomy face, she took out a stack of letters from her bag and could not help but sneer.

“I, Zhou Yan, hate this kind of despicable person the most in my life.

Fortunately, I came personally.”

She remarked that a beautiful woman like Su Wen wouldn’t ask for such an exorbitant fee; it was simply repulsive greed.

After reviewing the letters, Su Wen, surprisingly, remained calm. She had already suspected something like this, so it wasn’t much of a surprise. However, the amount Sun Yunyun had demanded in the letters for the manuscript fee left Su Wen astounded.

Nowadays, the manuscript fee for a book is usually just a dozen or so yuan. Famous authors would be more expensive, but no matter how expensive it was, it would not be more than ten thousand yuan.

It was simply an astronomical sum.

No wonder Zhou Yan was forced to come personally for negotiations. Wait a minute…

Su Wen suddenly thought of a possibility. If Sun Yunyun dared to ask for so much money, perhaps she dreamed that the scumbag’s handbook was selling well?

Since she knew that it would sell well, she could have simply negotiated a profit-sharing contract with Zhou Yan.

They didn’t have to worry about regret if the book sold well in the future. Profit-sharing would also be more acceptable for the publishing house as they couldn’t be sure if the book would sell well, making it a less risky option, the publishing firm would definitely want a share.

It saved them the trouble of paying all the manuscript fees at once.

“It’s good that you can trust me.” Su Wen couldn’t help but feel fortunate that she had encountered a good person who hadn’t fallen for Sun Yunyun’s scheme.

“I definitely believe you. When I received the first reply, I noticed that the handwriting didn’t match because written communication isn’t very clear, so I

overlooked it.”

Zhou Yan explained her suspicions, the publishing house’s situation, and their perspective in detail to Su Wen.

She concluded with a serious face, “In that case, how do you plan to deal with the despicable person who impersonated you?”

“This person is from our village.” Su Wen frowned as she pondered.

Unable to contain themselves any longer after listening to the entire process, Su Xiu and Su Qing spoke up in support of their elder sister.

Su Xiu said, “Big sister, Sun Yunyun is truly despicable. We can’t let her get away with this.”

Su Qing chimed in, “That’s right. You must let her know how powerful you are. Otherwise, what if she keeps stealing your letters?”

“Exactly!” Zhou Yan nodded. “I have high hopes for your book. To avoid unnecessary disputes in the future, it’s best to clarify it now. Otherwise, when you become famous in the future, it would be very annoying for others to jump out and say that she wrote it and you stole it. So I suggest you get to the bottom of this now. At the very least, you have to leave evidence or witnesses.”

“That’s right. Aunt Zhou Yan is right,” Su Qing complained unhappily. “Even the mailman is at fault. Why would they deliver the letter to an irrelevant person?” “Sun Yunyun probably went to the post office to get it.” Su Wen did not have much hope for the management of letters these days.

Helping friends collect mail and such was quite common.

Listening to the conversation, Zhou Yan suddenly spoke up, “A registered letter must be signed by the recipient.”

Su Wen’s eyes lit up. “Then I’ll start with the post office and get to the bottom of this so that I won’t have any trouble in the future.”

“That’s more like it.” Zhou Yan agreed. “Then let’s sign the contract first. We need to discuss the manuscript fee. To be honest, we’ve already printed the book. Once the contract is signed, it will be available in all the major bookstores. ”

“Sure..”
