Sth illogical in the story that Het brother confessed. He returned to Shanghai when he was years old. He said classmates bullied him because of his rural accent and Maomao helped him, practiced him to speak properly. And he said he liked her for 10 years. That feeling is unchanged. He is only 22 years old. So he liked her since 12 years old. How serious was it?

it is custom that people bring food (either typical for such event or dead people’s favorite food) when visiting the grave to invite the passed away one to enjoy. Additionally sometimes paper items (made as clothes, house, car etc) is used and then it will be burned as the way to send to the dead one

it could be bankrupted in that 10 years

how did grandma possess the hotel (built 1930-1938)?
such kind of private business might be seized and nationalized by the Communist Gov in China in 1950s-1970s.

Her daughter is a character in the cast. It is said that the actress had relative long filming. Thus I believe this will be told later

It's a different story. happened in HongKong in middle 1990s.

she has been in that family for 30+ years, taking care of the family, the kids. You can not shake off all of her good stuff because of her mistake to force FL to marry to XJL (who she thought loves FL (and FL also loved him) and can give her daughter a better life)

Don't underestimate the value of the villa with large garden in the center of ShangHai. Someone on Douban said that the value of that villa is about 300 Mil Chinese Yuan.
And it is also given example for an acquisition of a luxurious hotel in Shanghai 2 year ago for 1.6 billion Chinese Yuan.
The jewelry box was not big, there are a few pearl chains

Did MCZ consider her as grandma and treated her as grandma? He did not come to visit her.
She left her jewelry to MCH's mother for her contribution to Mai's family. She has 4 types of properties: jewelry, the villa, saving/fund (money) and the hotel. the 2 two items (money and the house) she gave to MCH because she would need it to run the hotel which is in financial trouble. The villa for YZM. What is it suitable for papa Mai and MCZ? take some money to give them? This old woman is rational and she cherish direct contact and care more than bloodline or relative relationship based on laws. She gave nothing to her own son

why do you think and keep saying that the total amount of time since ML returned until the grandma's death is only 2 months.
MCH has been working in the apartment for months (she led the KPI competition and got bonus)
Since the moment she discovered XJL's real identity until the family sat together for the marriage discussion is also months
And why did Ms Zhang come to meet the grandma? Because ML promised her that he could do it within 1 year. Since the moment Dennis was taken down, it must have been months long and she became less patient thus she decided to discuss with the grandma.

The grandma (or grandparents) who took care of MCZ, FL's brother is the mother/parents of FL's mother

I know. It will be available when the drama is almost completed at least

It's weibo rating. Not Douban rating. Thus I am curious that how much will it get on Douban

He will not give it to Mrs Zhang for free. He will sell it with Zhang's negociation so both of them get benefit from the acquire of that hotel for the hotel chain. Zhang then can be promoted as president of the branch in China or Shanghai (the role that Dennis used to hold) and YZM would get a higher position in the headquarter

First, YCM doesn't need the jewelry. You can see they are a few chains of pearls. And grandma understood FL's mother very well. A kind of appreaciation for her and she would feel valued, and nicer. In the end those jewelry will be passed to the next generation: MCH and MCZ.

The hotel actually costs her money instead of making money for her. She used her own money to keep the financial sheet in balance. Thus, she left money/fund to MCH so that she had liquidy to deal with the business

He is cold person. He used working like hell to suppress his grief. Is it a kind of misery that he restrains his emotion, sadness

some shortcut of the promotion events on April 12th with english subtitles

But he is not "allowed" to eat a lot of burger now. I think he offered the production team as the excuse for himself to eat burger

someone just share the same clip on X, thus I guess you can watch it. Here is another link
