he has to repay a debt that he promised an evil lady who will make his life miserable.
it's possible that it was legal issues? whatever it was, it was very bad, she said she saved him in his darkest moment of his life. so, he has to get that hotel to repay her, I'm guessing she can create problems for him whatever issues he had before, because YZM had a lot of problems before, YZM was on the run constantly as a kid because debtors would storm his house.
His dad ended up in jail, possibly his mom too, seems like he and his mom were constantly on the run. But whatever his past, this drama will only spend a minute or 4 sentences to explain it,
The ML story is only for convenience to the plot. Even his grief was seconds long.
The ML tragic story will pop up every 5 episodes explained in a moment.

In the corporate world it is all about the bottom line because your shareholders.
Grandma hotel (Xing?) is independent or privately own so they don't have to worry about the bottom line if they can afford to make less profits.

YZM needed the hotel to repay a debt (that's I'm guessing)

grandma said she needed to relax and told her husband to love his wife

I'm guessing here but I thought from the first episode, and I might still be wrong, but Zhang has something over YZM that he has to pay her back and he promised her he'd get her this hotel. He never told his grandma his difficulties. She died thinking that he came back for the hotel for ambition when and I'm guessing all this, but in reality, he had to repay a debt to someone.
That doesn't excuse him for not visiting grandma for decade even if he's been working his butt off to get through college and career. YZM has no money other than what he earned in his work. Yet Grandma gave all her funds and business to MCH. This drama trivialized and downplayed the grandma and grandson relationship. Actually, she was very biased in the end. She left no funds for her grandson. When YZM hinted to grandma that she was partial, she said she like them both. but the inheritance revealed she was biased. If not for Zhang, YZM would pack up and go back to HQ in Switzerland.

Ep 19 and 20 was not as emotional or dramatic. Grandma video was very touching, then people cried. But nothing much happened. YZM told remaining part of his tragic life story in less than one minute. Last time, he told the first half of his tragic life story in 4 sentences..

Zhang to YZM: Don't forget what you promised me.

I knew it! Zhang has something over him that he has to repay.

YZM had he told his grandma the truth, she might have given him the hotel instead., maybe.
Grandma doesn't realize why he came back for the hotel.

I thought grandma didn't want to give him the hotel because he would displace her workers.

Poor YZM and I mean it literally! All his life, he was poor, and now the grandma left him nothing but a house that he doesn't care for.

The drama hardly showed YZM's grief.

so you think if YZM said he does not give up, she would then leave it to him? but isn't that against her wishes based on what he wanted to do with the hotel and displace her people.

ML grandma said she took care of the brother the most!
wow she really helped out her step son taking care of his kids so they can work

Does that mean YZM also resign from Yueda Group? He gives up his ambition to climb up the ladder of a big multinational corporation that could have given up power and money.
I don't think he's wealthy at all. He just has the villa Grandma left him and whatever money he has earned in his career.

Oh that's right. the brother was very young age went to live with his maternal grandmother for six years. I didn't know that MCH lived with her grandparents too but that would make sense since their parents had to work so they could not care for their children on their own.

The granddaughter was also brought up by her step grandmother, an incredible woman full of wisdom. The grandmother fell in love and married her grandfather. It was twilight love.
Such an incredible, intelligent, and wise woman could only fall in love with another incredible and intelligent person. It is possible MCH not only received guidance from her grandmother but also inherited the good qualities of her grandfather or some other relative, same for the brother. MCH full of love, compassion, kindness, obedience, patience, intelligence, common sense, and wisdom became a role model for her brother who respected and loved her.
Love and kindness spreads to others.
Just because the parents are not smart or capable doesn't mean their children cannot be smart. The parents were born poor in rural China, no education, no experience, no skills.
no exposure to the world. Their children seems like they went to decent schools., not top tier , but maybe second tier schools.

He must be sitting under the tree that he and grandma planted as a seed right before he was taken abroad as a kid. Grandma said he cried. So, now the tree is full grown.
We find the grandson full grown crying again but this time, he's not planting a seed with grandma but sitting under the tree, and grandma is gone, and now he's all alone, she was his only kin.
He said his grandfather abandon his grandmother, his father abandon his mother, his mother abandon him, and now grandma is gone too.
He said he had no memory of planting the seed. Perhaps all those excruciatingly painful memories he blocked out came rushing back to him as he sat there thinking about his past,
barely can remember his grandma and he realize how precious she is to him and feels.
guilt and shame of not visiting her but only came back for the hotel. I wonder if feels
any guilt that Zhang told her about the truth and that caused grandma heart to fail.
If YZM was truly a heartless man, he would feel no remorse and no tears.
Before grandma left, she smells human touch in him, her dying wish to him is that.
he stops being a stray cat and allow himself to unite with Mai family even if they are half family, better than no family.

that must hurt, her cheeks rosy red
it makes it real for them, like the mother's horrified reaction of hitting her

YZM: "You can have MCH oversee me".
Grandma: "When you reach my age, it will be a delight for you to have some loyal friends."

that is a possibility that she intended to will everything to her granddaughter but now changed the house to YZM; however, based on how the drama unfolded, I tend to believe after she spent intimate time with MCH and after her query about how YXM would handle her hotel, she changed it to MCH. That makes more sense to me because she had to have reason and prior to all this, she didn't know how capable MCH was, MCH had never shared her dreams or ambitions about hotel management to her based-on grandma's reaction in their conversation, it felt like it was discovery to her.

it's a entertainment movie, not a documentary
