Many people used to only know that Wen Ying was a best-selling author. They knew that Wen Ying was famous and should have made a lot of money, but they had no idea about the specific amount.
Now that there are so many media reports, Wen Ying’s royalties are a shock to many people.
For example, Li Mengjiao, after reading the newspaper, called Wen Ying a "multi-millionaire" and asked Wen Ying to treat her to three meals of fried skewers.
“You’re so rich!”
Li Mengjiao muttered.

"I guess your mother will ask about your royalties."
Wen Ying made a bitter face and said, "I agree with your guess."
