The day his brother Zhou YingJie died was the most unfortunate day in the life of Zhou Yonge. He still vividly remembered that day. He would never forget that day.
It was the day when something in him too died when he lost his right hand, when he lost his best friend, when a part of his world was snatched from him. It was the worst day of his life.
He still remembered those painful feelings from that day, the cries of his parents, his painful cries. For three days he had not eaten anything and had himself locked in a room, blaming himself for the death of his brother.
It should have been him dying, instead of his brother. He should have died.
If only he was not selfish. If only for once, he had not once again let his brother sacrifice himself for him.
Thirty years back, their company used to deal in some illegal business. But when his brother took over the business, he slowly withdrew from all those dealings, against the will of their father.
His father was against this decision because they were earning quite a huge chunk from that illegal business.
His brother withdrew the dealings but behind his back, his father continued to make deals and contracts in the illegal market and one day, he got stuck.
The leader of one of the illegal markets, who was also a close friend of their father, reminded their father of an old promise in which one of his sons was required to be secretly sent to another illegal market to make some deals.
His father had denied him because it was dangerous to send someone to another illegal market, but he was forced to. Otherwise, many secrets and many past crimes of their corporations were to be leaked.
It was a dark phase of their corporation.
His father had decided to send one of his sons secretly in between the illegal dealers, to find out any mole in them. He had specially prepared a team of fully trained men to protect his son and that son was Zhou Yonge.
The task was a little risky so Zhou Yonge, as usual, had selfishly denied him. Not for once did he think that if not him then his father had to send his brother.
Only when his brother had left for country Z, the country where most of the dealings in illegal business took place, did he realise the blunder he had made. Instead of himself, he had sent his brother on a very risky mission.
Even if he knew that his brother would be safe with the help of the team sent by his father, he still felt worried for his brother, and his worries came true when he received the bad news of the demise of his brother.
In country Z, his brother was living a life as a secret agent. He did not contact with them much, scared that his identity would be exposed. In the last eight months of his life which he spent there, he rarely had any communication with them.
In the last message which he had sent to them, he had shared how he had fallen in love with a young lady, and how they got married. He also informed to them that his mission was completed. He would soon return home with his wife and would share with them the details of their wedding.
His father got hell angry when he received the news that his son got married behind his back. The son who always listened to him had taken such a big decision without sharing anything with him.
His father was all ready to punish his favourite son on his return but who knew that after three days of the said email, they would receive another message about the death of their son?
Zhou Yonge removed a tear from his eyes and took a deep breath. He still remembered that dark day.
On that day, the business which belonged to his brother became his duty and responsibility. He vowed to fulfil all the vision and mission of his brother, the dreams which his brother had seen for their company.
He left his dream of becoming a star and threw himself completely into the business.
He had always wished to have a love marriage, but when his father introduced a girl to him from a strong business background, he married her without any hitch, because he had already married business and he was already in love with his brother.
He never fell in love with his wife. Sure she loved him and gave her everything to him, but he failed to feel anything for her because his whole focus was on business.
Zhou Bingbing too was a result of an accident of his weak time. Otherwise, he had not planned to start a family, not until he achieved a certain benchmark.
Truthfully, his feelings for his daughter started to build only when his wife died because of cancer. Otherwise, he had rarely given any time to his family. It was his mother, who had looked after his wife during her deathbed, or had consoled his daughter when she cried in distress for the love of her parents.
He knew he was heartless, but it was a punishment which he had given to himself for killing his brother. If only he had gone on the mission then his brother would have been alive.
His brother had given up his life for him.
Today, he worked hard in the corporation, only for his brother. He had given his blood and sweat to it. Blood and sweat to achieve the dream of his brother.
He always believed that this corporation was of his brother and he was only a caretaker. And that was the reason; he did not hitch in handing over the company to Zhou Liying. That was the reason he never said a word whenever she made a decision which was not liked by him.
Because for him, it was her legacy. She was the daughter of his brother and he knew her brain worked like his brother's.
He believed all the decisions were made by his brother, not her.
He promised to always stand behind her like her father.
