In that scene they both were taking out trash, fl's mother asked YZM what kind of trash he has, and he said "hazardous", I'm a bit dense, what did he mean by that? That subsequent conversation shows that he can go toe to toe with her.

ml's mother is grandma's own flesh and blood daughter, so ml is related to grandma by blood
fl's father is grandma's stepson so there is no blood relation to grandma
ml and fl come from different families, different set of parents

grandma divorced her first husband for having another lover, then remarried, but did not get along with her stepson, and has been estranged from him for decades, so she lives in retirement home since she has no other family and her grandson lives abroad

fl is the only person who visit grandma regularly and has a very close bond with grandma.
ml wrote to grandma regularly over the years, but grandma has never mentioned her stepson nor his family to ml and never mentioned her past or grandson to fl, so neither the ml nor the fl ever knew each other existed. All the ml know is that grandma married into another family but he knows nothing about that family and grandma never talked about them.

But upon ml's return home and visit grandma, grandma mentioned fl to him because she knows fl works in the same company Yueda Group as her grandson who is high level, and knowing her grandson well, before he even said anything, told him to not bully her.

There has to be some event that causes him to learn to trust a person and open up before he can fall in love. His grandma knows him well and told him that he does not know what family is because his mother died and his father is bad and he has no siblings, that not all people are bad, that just because he has only bad experiences with people, there are good people and she pointed to the sunflower seed to make an example, black outside but white inside.

This explains the ml's reserved nature, reluctance to smile, standoffish demeanor, harshness towards others, and general indifference.

YZM is everywhere or else he's got someone spying on her.

What about ML wants to buy insurance for grandma so she has an alert service in case something happens, she can get help right away. I think he also wanted her to get some medical check up? He told grandma that it can ease his concern if she buys the insurance. Was that genuine? I wonder if that is foreshadow something will happen to her health.

I also saw a comment that YZM is the one who can handle MCH's mother.

I don't know which episode but there is a scene of YZM hugging MCH and the camera focused on the fl's back while the ml's rather large hands squeezing and caressing her back, as well as you can see, he has long arms too. His hands are exquisite, large palms, long slender fingers. The hug is so beautifully done.

On the internet, it shows Xu Kai English name as Kevin Xu.
I read somewhere that his nickname is soso because growing up, people notice that he can naturally pick up things on his own easily and he could do a little of everything.

The fl is indomitable, a paragon of virtue. She is the at the center of this drama and everyone and everything else revolves around her. The ml is also the antagonist and eventual love interest.

BCE is about a clash of love, the struggle to balance filial love and the need to make her own decisions without the guilt of betrayal and the fear of severing her bond with her mother who is stuck in thousands of years of Chinese cultural expectations and traditions and Confucius teachings.

at the end of preview ep 14, it seems YZM is at a crossroads concerning grandma's hotel

That is not her style. She is someone who plunges headfirst and tries to solve everything right away. MCH is straightforward, like an engineer would be. She is not political. She does not scheme all day long like YZM. Maybe being around YZM enough will improve her political skills for management. Perhaps YZM goal is to help her survive.

really? I feel like I write too much sometimes and will delete some

eventually
my curiosity is who gets grandma's hotel

thanks

yes for the very rich

but if I were YZM I would be worried based on his conversation with grandma in ep. 12 (preview)

thank you for sharing

I change my mind based on grandma and grandson conversation in ep. 12 preview, the tone and the cold stares at each other. I'm rethinking grandma will give all her wealth to MCH. She doesn't trust YZM. She trusts MCH more.
YZM: "Once you hand over Xing'anli to me, I will manage it with care. Then I'll have her come over to help out. Consider it as giving her an important position."
Grandma: "Zhiming, does this count as a threat to me?"
