At 11 o'clock in the night, Hecheng's lights are soft and colorful, showing a blurry style that is different from that of the day.

Zhou Yunxiao stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his spacious office, overlooking the beautiful night view of Hecheng.

This is the CBD of Hecheng, where land is at a premium. Being able to own an entire floor here is definitely a symbol of success and wealth.

And he did it at the age of thirty.

With an annual income of tens of millions, he opened a very famous law firm and became a well-known lawyer in the country.

His dreams back then came true one by one.

With a "pop" sound, the metal lighter gave the cigarette a faint red light, which was imprinted on the dark glass. With a sharp puff, the light turned red.

Zhou Yunxiao slowly exhaled white smoke, and the bitter taste of nicotine filled his mouth and chest, soothing his anxious heart bit by bit.

Because Chen Chuan smokes, he must also smoke.

But in fact, he is not a big smoker, and it doesn't matter whether he smokes or not. More often than not, I smoke cigars when socializing with others.

But, in the final analysis, it still tasted like cigarettes, which was more rough and direct, and more pleasing to him.

Cigarettes are really a good thing. No wonder someone as self-controlled as Achuan smokes them.

He looked at the night view of Hecheng. The height was almost the same as where his grandfather stood.

I don’t know what kind of despair and pain made Grandpa choose to jump down.

All of this was caused by Zhou Fang.

Zhou Yunxiao took another deep drag on his cigarette. When he saw Zhou Yan today, the unbearable past shrouded him little by little.

This is why he hates seeing the Zhou family, even though his surname is Zhou.

He thought that with his current success, he had long forgotten that humiliating and tragic past, but in fact, the suffering in the past was like a scar left in your heart. You thought it was healed, but as long as it was cloudy and rainy, it would be gone. There will be a dull pain to remind you.

Of course, he never told Shen Xi about this past incident. This was a past buried deep in his heart that no one knew about except Chen Chuan.

Shen Xi only knew that Zhou Yan had stolen his partner, but he didn't know that his relationship with the Zhou family was more than that simple.

Zhou Yunxiao's grandfather Zhou Lu and Zhou Yan's grandfather Zhou Fang are brothers.

Zhou Fang is the eldest brother and Zhou Lu is the younger brother.

The ancestors of the Zhou family were in business and accumulated a lot of wealth from generation to generation. In special times, they took great pains to secretly hide it. After that era passed, the Zhou family borrowed this money to make a comeback.

Originally, the two brothers were doing business together. Zhou Fang was bold and strategic, suitable for expanding territory, while Zhou Lu was cautious and conservative, suitable for maintaining success.

The two brothers formed a partnership, one was killing everyone on the front line, and the other was holding on to the cornerstone in the rear. At that time, the Zhou family's business was booming.

But the conflicts increased as the business grew bigger and bigger.

Zhou Fang felt that the company's current scale was all due to him, while Zhou Lu was just taking advantage of him and made no contribution. He still had to take half of the bonus every year. No matter what he thought, he couldn't accept it.

Zhou Lu also felt that his brother's steps were too big and too radical, and he would do anything to achieve his goals. It's dangerous to go this way.

Year after year, the company grew bigger and bigger, and the differences between the two brothers also became larger and larger, until they were irreconcilable and directly broke up.

Zhou Fang felt that he had built the company, and he didn't want to give any money to his brother, so he set up a trap for Zhou Lu to take advantage of. In the end, Zhou Lu made a "wrong" decision, causing the company to lose hundreds of millions. Not only was he kicked out of the company, but he also had to pay compensation.

Zhou Lu filled in all his wealth and was eliminated in embarrassment.

But he was a man of perseverance. He took the remaining money and started a small business. Year by year, he slowly opened the company again.

Although he is not as good as the Zhou family, he is content with being a little rich and his family lives a prosperous life.

Zhou Lu is an honest man and does his duty well. Although the company is small, it is managed well and the whole family lives a happy life.

After his son got married and gave birth to a fat grandson, Zhou Lu felt that although he had less money, he couldn't be more comfortable.

The change occurred when Zhou Fang suddenly came to him and said that he had a big business deal. Since they were brothers, it was better to benefit him than to benefit others, so he wanted to partner with him.

He also repented that he should not have stood by and ignored his younger brother and asked him to leave the company.

Zhou Lu didn't believe him at first, but Zhou Fang said that he dreamed of his deceased mother, accused him of not loving his younger brother, and was very disappointed with him...

Zhou Lu was a filial son, so he believed it.

He didn't like taking risks by nature, but he couldn't help his brother's lobbying, so he mortgaged the company's money and invested it in Zhou Fang's so-called business.

In the end, I deserved to lose everything. The company was swallowed up by Zhou Fang, and Zhou Lu was saddled with a huge debt. He went to his brother to settle the account, and was naturally humiliated and kicked out.

"Didn't my mother like you the most since she was a child? She said that you have the air of a general and can achieve great things? She said that I am small and don't look like my brother? Haha, look, this is what she said. The air of a general? Can you achieve great things? Aren't you being fooled by me? Over and over again?"

"Last time you were able to fight to the death, but what about this time? All your belongings are gone, and you still owe tens of millions. I wonder how you can survive, hahahaha..."

The creditors' violent collections left the whole family isolated and helpless. In old age, they lost hope of starting over again. Zhou Lu jumped off the building in despair.

But the debt could not be settled, and a huge debt fell on Zhou Yunxiao's father.

So much money, tens of millions, how could it be possible to get it all? In the end, Father Zhou was so tired that he became sick from overwork and left early.

Zhou Yunxiao was still very young at that time. From a wealthy young master, he fell into a poor man with huge debts.

Before he could fully appreciate the gap, his life was already so poor that he lost all self-esteem.

In order to support him, his mother worked multiple jobs and three jobs, as tired as an old scalper. There is an orphan and a widowed mother. No matter how hard the creditor presses them, they will both be forced to death at the most, but they still won't get their money back.

Finally, he agreed to wait until Zhou Yunxiao grew up to make money to pay them back.

So Zhou Yunxiao experienced all the sufferings in the world at a young age, until he and Chen Chuan became classmates in high school that year.

His family was poor and lacked food and clothing. Due to malnutrition, his growth was slow. When he was in high school, he was skinny and only 1.6 meters tall.

Although his family was poor, his grades were excellent, just a little worse than Chen Chuan. Because of his good grades, the school exempted him from tuition fees and he was often praised by teachers. But it was this good grade that made him become a classmate. The target of their bullying.

Countless ridicules, pranks, kicks and beatings...

If he hadn't met Chen Chuan, there might be no Zhou Yunxiao in this world.
