love addiction

The Xie family in Nanyang, a big family that occupies the commercial lifeline of the South, has been ups and downs for more than 300 years.

Dating back to the earliest times, it is said that it is a certain prince who holds great power.

Even now, the Xie family's old house still looks like the former palace.

Although it has been repaired for many years in the later stage, it is no longer what it used to be, but the red tiles of the high door are still a symbol of status.

Xie Yimin has been living here since he came back from Jiangcheng.

In the old house, there are palace gardens and various palace residences, with a lot of red tape.

Back then, the ancestors of the Xie family, that is, the unparalleled prince, moved to the south and missed everything in the capital, so they built this palace in imitation.

Of course, since it is a replica, it is not comparable to the Forbidden City, at most it can be considered a miniature Forbidden City.

In the changing times, contemporary architecture has gradually evolved into the current concrete forest, and countless wealthy families have also emerged.

But compared to the Xie family, it's nothing.

Although the old house is not comparable to those large manors today, the garden landscape inside is also very unique.

It's the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the chrysanthemums in the garden are in full bloom, complementing each other with red flowers on the high wall, creating a unique scene.

In the pavilion, Xie Tian was drinking tea and admiring chrysanthemums, and sitting next to him was his concubine.

It is said that she is an aunt, but in fact she is just a lover with no status.

Since the death of Xie Tian's first wife, he has had countless women, such as Meng Xueyao, who has been with him for more than ten years, and the last woman who left was abandoned within three months.

And now this one is said to have only been at Xie's house for over a month.

As for the age...it's too much to call Xie Tian's father.

"God, the tea is ready, you have a taste."

The one who spoke was Xie Tian's concubine whom he doted on recently, whose name I can't remember, but everyone in Xie's mansion would call her Aunt Fang.

Xie Tian fell in love with Aunt Fang because of her tea making skills.

Xie Tian was not in a good mood today. He seemed to be scalded after taking a sip of tea, so he threw the cup on the table and cursed, "Are you trying to burn me to death?"

Aunt Fang hurriedly apologized, "God, don't be angry, I didn't mean it, I'll give you a little rest."

"Okay, okay." Xie Tian gave her a cold look, and turned around to ask the followers around him, "Munger, are you sure you have notified him?"

Menger replied affirmatively, "God, I told Yi Shao personally, I'm sure he heard."

"Okay, then I'll just wait." Xie Tian asked Aunt Fang to make tea again.

Aunt Fang continued to make tea tremblingly, praying in her heart that Xie Yimin would come over quickly, so that she would not be implicated in a while.

After Xie Tian drank two pots of tea, Xie Yimin finally arrived late.

He approached with a slightly cold face, his eyes were as deep as the sea, "God."

"What? You have been allowed to be free outside for more than ten years, and you have forgotten the rules of the Xie family? Do you need me to teach you?" Xie Tian asked with a smile on his face.

Xie Yimin was not frightened by his intimidation, he was still calm and calm, "Something was delayed just now, so I came a little late."

"I'm in a good mood today, and I don't care about you." Xie Tian narrowed his black eyes, "I called you here today to let you see this."

Xie Tian raised his hand slightly, and Menger hurriedly handed the file bag to Xie Yimin.

Xie Yimin didn't open it right away, waiting for Xie Tian to continue to order.

"This is LT's information, please take a good look at it, I want you to get LT within a month."

Xie Yimin knew a little bit about LT, and also knew that Xie Tian made it difficult for him to win it within a month.

He knew that such a day would come, so he didn't get too flustered, and asked calmly, "The Xie family wasn't interested in LT's business at first, why did God suddenly want to accept LT?"

"It's nothing, I just don't like his existence." Xie Tian said meaningfully.

Xie Yimin no longer had any objections, and accepted the document, "I will do my best."

"Okay, let's go." He crossed his legs and became extremely relaxed.

Aunt Fang hurried over to pinch his legs.

Xie Yimin turned and left coldly, walked back to his residence through the garden and the long road, but saw a guest in the residence.

He was arranged in the small courtyard at the back of Xie Mansion. There were only three houses in one yard, and it was also the corner of Xie Mansion. Most people would not come here.

What's more, this person is the young emperor of the Xie family, Xie Tian's cousin Xie Di.

Xie Yimin was slightly surprised to see him.

Xie Di, with her right hand behind her back, was using her left hand to fiddle with a pot of chrysanthemum placed on the flower bed.

Those strands of chrysanthemums were all torn to the ground by him, and it was hard to show their preciousness any more.

Xie Yimin's arrival didn't affect him, until he pulled out a pot of chrysanthemums with his own hands, then he clapped his hands and turned to look at Xie Yimin, "I heard that you came back a long time ago, but you have been busy with business and haven't been able to come back to see in person, little Yes, welcome back."

Xie Di stretched out his hand, smiling, the breeze didn't move.

He and Xie Tian are both brothers, but their tempers are completely opposite.

In the eyes of outsiders, Young Master Di is a very easy-going person, kind-hearted and kind to everyone around him.

In Xie's house, it is very popular.

But Tian Ye is often vigorous and resolute, with a cold personality, never pretends to anyone, and his methods are more vicious and domineering.

But it was these two people with completely opposite personalities who expanded the Xie family's property step by step, and also consolidated the Xie family's position as a predator in the South Seas step by step.

It stands to reason that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the Xie family's situation is bound to cause problems.

But the strange thing is that these two mountain tigers can coexist peacefully and restrain each other.

In the final analysis, it is the old man of the Xie family who knows the art of checks and balances to maintain the peace and tranquility of the Xie family, even if it is only superficially peaceful.

Xie Di seldom lives in the old house, even if he has a very important residence in the old house.

It's a bit strange that he came back this time, not on any holiday, nor was it an important day for the Xie family.

Xie Yimin speculated about his intentions, and greeted him politely, "Second Uncle, long time no see."

"Well, when I was waiting for you just now, I didn't have anything to do. I felt that the golden chrysanthemum was a little too gorgeous, and it didn't match the color of this residence, so I pulled it out for you. You don't need to thank me."

Xie Yimin nodded without any change in expression, "I also don't think Rustic Chrysanthemum is suitable for this place."

"Really?" Xie Di smiled slightly, "It seems that we have a common opinion. Compared with this kind of golden chrysanthemum, I really think that white chrysanthemum is more suitable."

After speaking, he took out a small white chrysanthemum from nowhere, walked up to Xie Yimin, and pinned it on his suit pocket himself.

Then he looked at it carefully and said, "Well, it suits you very well."

Xie Yimin looked down at the little white chrysanthemum on his chest, his eyes gradually shrank, as if a storm was sweeping in his heart.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first." Xie Di patted him on the shoulder, not sure if it was comforting, and then left.

Xie Yimin's eyes kept falling on Xiaobaiju, and the storm finally ended with teardrops falling from the corners of his eyes and falling to the ground.

He grabbed the documents in his hand, turned around and left the residence, and went directly to Xie Tian.

After Xie Yimin left, Xie Tian planned to lie down in the pavilion for a while, but he felt a little impetuous, so he drove everyone away.

Including Aunt Fang who served him was also scolded away by him, standing alone in the pavilion and wandering.

Xie Yimin hurried over, saw Xie Tian, ​​hurried over and shouted, "God, I have something to discuss with you."

For Xie Yimin's going back and forth, Xie Tianben was also puzzled, but when he saw the little white chrysanthemum on his clothes, his brows frowned suddenly, and he was slightly angry, "Xie Yimin, you are so audacious! How dare you curse me?"

Xie Yimin lowered his head slightly, did not explain, but directly explained the purpose of coming, "I want to see her for the last time."

"Who?!" Xie Tian asked knowingly, but his voice was raised a bit.

"You know who I'm talking about."

Xie Tian raised his hand and slapped him on the face, cursing viciously, "Who allowed you to talk to me like this?"

"Half a month."

Xie Yimin has lived in Xie's house for more than ten years anyway, and knows the rules here clearly.

If he wants to get something, he must give something, and he will pay twice as much.

Xie Yimin raised his eyes and looked at Xie Tian, ​​awe-inspiring, "Half a month, I just won LT, you asked me to go back and see her."

Xie Tian looked at him for a long time, then smiled with his lips curled up, "Okay, I promise you, you can go back and see her for the last time, but I only give you ten days, within ten days, I will get LT."

Xie Yimin gritted his teeth, "Okay."

"Go." Xie Tian waved his hand, as if showing kindness.

Xie Yimin turned around and left without stopping for a moment.

He bought a plane ticket and rushed back to Jiangcheng as quickly as possible, and it was already late at night when he arrived.

One autumn rain and one cold, he came too hastily, forgetting the huge temperature difference between Jiangcheng and the south, it was a bit chilly.

It's just that he didn't care about these, so he took a taxi directly to his destination.

He had already taken off the little white chrysanthemum on his chest before, and kept it in the palm of his hand.

Bai Ju couldn't stand the temperature of her palm and had gradually withered, as if it would disappear at any moment.

So he kept holding on, not daring to let go, and unwilling to let go.

When he arrived at the mountain residence where Meng Xueyao was recuperating, he saw Long Yaxi's car.

Without a moment's hesitation, he hurried into the gate.

At that time Long Yaxi was still guarding in front of Meng Xueyao's hospital bed, now she couldn't do without people, she was drowsy, and would look at Long Yaxi when she woke up.

The only answer Long Yaxi could give was shaking her head, and then she fell back into a deep sleep, repeating this.

She has been waiting for Xie Yimin, she hasn't eaten for several days, and she relies on the nutrient solution to continue her life.

Xie Yimin pushed the door open and came in, bringing with him gusts of cold wind and dampness from autumn rain.

　Long Yaxi seemed to feel something and suddenly turned her head. At that moment, her eyes were red.

It's Xie Yimin, he's back.

Originally, there were so many things she wanted to say, but in the end she was so choked up that she couldn't speak.

I haven't seen him for more than a month. He has lost a lot of weight, and even his chin has become sharper.

The biggest change was the smile on his face, which was gone and replaced by coldness.

Xie Yimin approached, Long Yaxi took the initiative to step aside so that he could see more clearly.

Meng Xueyao fell asleep without any reaction.

Xie Yimin grasped Meng Xueyao's icy hands tightly, and there was almost only a layer of skin left on those hands.

The originally cold and beautiful face was also deformed due to the torment of illness.

He grabbed his hands and called out in fear, "Mom."

I don't know if it was the title she had been waiting for for a long time that woke her up, Meng Xueyao slowly opened her eyes, looking at the hazy picture in front of her, "Is it Xiaoyi?"

"Mom, it's me, I'm back."

Meng Xueyao struggled to get up, Xie Yimin hurried to help her.

Long Yaxi also helped him.

After Meng Xueyao leaned into Xie Yimin's arms, she showed a weak smile, "Xiaoyi, Mom is waiting for you, waiting for you..."

"Yeah." Xie Yimin suppressed his grief and said slowly, "I know you are very tired, can you rest when you are tired?"

Meng Xueyao seemed to nod her head.

And Xie Yimin still held her hand and hugged her to protect her, "I will be with you, always be with you, guarding you like you guarded me when you were a child."

Long Yaxi's eyes were blurred with tears, she saw Meng Xueyao's hand slowly loosen, and also saw Meng Xueyao slowly close her eyes.

Even the last smile on his face gradually faded...

Xie Yimin closed his eyes, tears dripped down, and he called out in a low voice, "Mom."
