Loving You Means Having You

Scarlett, a top-tier private tutor, is a beauty that turns heads wherever she goes. Not only is she drop-dead gorgeous, but she's also a double major Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. Despite her beauty, she's cold-hearted and only has two close friends she can truly rely on. One is a wealthy guy who had an early coming-out and harbors feelings for his senior. The other is a quirky girl who, despite having access to billions in assets, prefers to earn her own money through her startup, always pinching pennies. Scarlett's life was supposed to be this serene, but everything changed when she met Lucius, the top dog of the city. To the public, he's an intimidating figure, cold and unapproachable. But behind closed doors, he's a different person. [Excerpts] Watching her retreating figure, Elijah teased, "Even you get the cold shoulder sometimes. Who's that, her boyfriend?" Lucius countered, "Do you know what I admire most about her?" Elijah gave a superficial answer, "Her beauty." Lucius calmly stated, "Her intelligence." Without waiting for Elijah's response, Lucius walked away. Elijah, not being a fool, pondered the situation. Scarlett maintained a distance from both him and Lucius. Such a woman was indeed intriguing.

The Zhou Family

After a lengthy journey with Jane, Scarlett returned to her desk, dropped her bag, pulled over a chair, and opened her laptop. The first thing she did was to delve into the online world, searching for information about Lucius's family.

Most of what Mia had told her was readily available online. Lucius's great-grandfather had been a deputy to a party leader, and his grandfather, Ewan Zhou, had a vague profile that highlighted his business achievements, with a brief mention of him being a well-known figure in his time. As for Lucius's father, William Zhou, he was given the title of 'Futurist' to describe his impeccable record in business investments.

Lucius also had a brother, Eric Zhou. The information revealed that they were half-brothers, but there was no information about their mother or other details, and no indication of whether they were married or had children.
