Chapter 257: He Really Gave Her Two Hundred Million
Lin Yiqian could not believe that she had forgotten about Xiaoyu.
After walking over to him, she used her slightly damp finger to wipe the stains off of Xiaoyu’s mouth.
She could then hear footsteps coming out of the bathroom.
When Lin Yiqian turned her head around, Gu Nianshen had already entered the room. As he was still somewhat intoxicated, his footsteps were not quite steady yet.
Instinctively, she stood up straight and went over to help him.
However, Gu Nianshen moved past her swiftly before walking to the desk and taking a pack of cigarettes from the drawer. He then chucked it into the pocket on his bathrobe before turning around and walking out of the room.
Lin Yiqian was taken aback by his cold and distant attitude as she blinked in disbelief.
Would he forget about what happened tonight by the time he woke up tomorrow morning?
Lin Yiqian had made a miscalculation.
She should have taken a few pictures and posted the pictures online for him alone to see.
From the looks of how the man was walking wobbly to the door, he clearly intended to leave.
Lin Yiqian followed after him and soon realized that he was heading to the room where she slept in before.
Was she of no value to him now that he had enjoyed his time with her body?

Gu Nianshen entered Lin Yiqian’s room that had a simple setup and quickly glanced around.
Without making a stop in the room, he headed straight for the balcony before sitting down on one of the chairs that hung from the ceiling.
He lighted a cigarette before taking a puff from it.
Then, he retrieved his phone from his pocket to make a call.
“Is the Lin family’s business in dire need of money?” Gu Nianshen immediately asked as soon as the call was picked up.
“It’s the same. Neither prosperous nor lacking in monetary terms,” the person on the other end of the call answered.
If the company was doing fine, why did the fool ask for money?
Gu Nianshen peered in suspicion. “Find out if Song Changlin has any business overseas, or if he has a history of gambling.”
Could Song Changlin have gotten himself into the bad habit of gambling and became indebted?
Although Gu Nianshen acknowledged that these were silly hypotheses, he could not think of any other reason why Lin Yiqian would be willing to spend 200 million. She actually stepped down from her pedestal to request for money.
“I know what to do.”
After hearing the response, Gu Nianshen immediately hung up before taking another puff from his cigarette.
As the white smoke rose into the air, Gu Nianshen lifted his head to look at the night sky.
‘Lin Yiqian, I was not able to see you for five years. I couldn’t even look at the same sky as you did.’ He thought to himself.
Each time he looked at the night sky, he would think of how she was still looking at a bright daytime sky. It felt as if they were separated by more than just physical distance. Gu Nianshen sometimes even thought of just dying instead.

As Lin Yiqian was too tired the night before, she had slept until eight in the morning. When she brought Xiaoyu down for breakfast, Aunt Zhou informed her that Gu Nianshen had already left for the office.
After having breakfast, Lin Yiqian sent Xiaoyu over to Bai Se before rushing to her own office.
Once she arrived in the office, she could see employees hustling about energetically.
As soon as Lin Yiqian sat down in her chair, somebody knocked on the door. After murmuring a reply, she turned her computer on.
“Miss.” Qi Shaodong’s voice could be heard as soon as the door was opened.
“Assistant Qi, why are you here?” Lin Yiqian asked, confused.
“The CEO has asked me to deliver cheques with the value of two hundred million to you.” Qi Shaodong nodded at Lin Yiqian with a smile.
As he spoke, he retrieved two cheques from a folder in his hand before handing them over to Lin Yiqian.
“Ehh...?” Lin Yiqian was stunned when she saw the cheques.
‘Oh, right.’ Lin Yiqian suddenly recalled that she had asked Gu Nianshen for money the night before. She had nearly forgotten about it.
