Chapter 48: Thanks and Explanations for Some Questions
First, I would like to thank the book friends who support the author; I offer my thanks here!!!
Next, I will explain a few issues. Because this is a secondary account, I am temporarily unable to link a mobile number, and I cannot answer everyone's questions in the comment section immediately. I apologize.
However, I basically read all the comments.
Here, I will also explain some points that some of you have questions about.
The topic discussed most over these past two days should be why the protagonist did not leave money for Yu Qingwan.
Let us now sort out the character of Yu Qingwan.
First, according to the settings in the book, Yu Qingwan's date of birth is also roughly in the period of 1967–1971.
In that period, the names of most women should have been names like Spring Orchid, Spring Flower, Qin, or Shuzhen.
From the name Yu Qingwan, one can infer some things: that it is highly likely Yu Qingwan was born into a scholarly family, or had relatives or friends of that sort.
Let us further analyze the matter of Yu Qingwan breaking ties with her family due to her premarital pregnancy.
No matter the era, parents would certainly not agree to such a thing, so it should be considered reasonable and understandable.
Second, that Yu Qingwan could resolutely break ties with her family and choose to raise two children alone—besides the fact that she loved the protagonist very much—also allows us to analyze some aspects of her own personality: she is the relatively independent type, with her own opinions.
She would not be swayed by the words of parents or some relatives and friends.
Furthermore, over these many years, from the situations where she recounted certain things about the protagonist to her children, it can be seen that Yu Qingwan has never regretted it.
Having persisted for so many years and lived through so many bitter days, she has never regretted her initial decision. A woman capable of this may not be overbearing in personality, but she is definitely sufficiently resolute.
And for such a woman, choosing not to use the protagonist's money before she was married to him should also be considered reasonable, right?
It can also be inferred from the fact that Zhang Sicheng and Zhang Siyan have not discussed a single thing about their grandparents since Zhang Ran returned.
Over such a long time, the relationship between Yu Qingwan and that side can be considered completely severed.
There are two possible developments that led to this: first, that Yu Qingwan never went back after giving birth to the children.
In that era, it was very difficult to find someone who was hiding.
The second development is that Yu Qingwan actually did take the children back, but her parents did not accept her, believing she brought shame to the family reputation or something similar, and completely severed ties.
If it were the second case, then one could deduce that Yu Qingwan's family belonged to the type that is somewhat rigid and feudal, viewing family honor as more important than their own daughter.
Yu Qingwan grew up in such a family environment, and combined with her breaking ties with her family for the sake of her two children, it further reflects her independent personality.
Let us talk about the protagonist's side: his trip abroad, besides handling some matters, had the biggest motivation of wanting to give Yu Qingwan a romantic proposal ceremony. To reflect even a bit more romance, he deliberately did not take a plane, but instead took a cruise ship, so he could propose on 5/20.
Before this, Yu Qingwan did not know the protagonist's net worth, and the protagonist had not told her either.
This aspect can be explained by the fact that the protagonist comes from the year 2020 in his previous life. In our current modern society, which is overflowing with materialism, whether it is because of various "chicken soup for the soul" or the baptism of television dramas.
Before a wealthy person yearns for pure love, concealing some financial things from the person they are dating or intend to date should be considered explainable, right?
So, combined with Yu Qingwan's independent personality, the protagonist not leaving money should also be explainable.
Furthermore, as mentioned earlier, the protagonist did not know at the time that Yu Qingwan was pregnant. After the protagonist went abroad, Yu Qingwan only then realized it, and she did not tell the protagonist immediately, as she also wanted to give the protagonist a surprise.
The protagonist's thought was that after the proposal, he would tell Yu Qingwan everything except for the two matters of time travel and his "golden finger"; there was no need to rush.
He also did not know he would encounter such a fantastical event, so not leaving Yu Qingwan some money for self-protection can be considered reasonable, right?
The second question is why Zhang Sicheng and the others did not inherit the protagonist's "legacy" back then.
One reason is that Yu Qingwan did not know the protagonist had so much money, nor did she know he had so many assets.
Second, it was very difficult to look up a person's information back then, especially in a situation where not many people knew about the relationship between the two parties.
Third, no one would voluntarily give money to others, especially this much money.
Fourth, Meng He and that group of people also did not know of the existence of Yu Qingwan and the others.
The third question.
Can a granddaughter be registered on her maternal grandfather's household register?
The answer is yes, but in terms of relationship, it can only be maternal grandfather; it cannot be changed to grandfather.
The fourth question.
That is, twenty-eight years have passed; why must the protagonist and people like Tian Yaohui still be in opposition? Can they not make up like old acquaintances?
This should also be relatively easy to understand. Whether it is Meng He or Huo Zhiyuan, their companies are essentially the protagonist's.
The same goes for Tian Yaohui and the others. Because the protagonist suddenly had an accident back then, and many shares were not placed directly under the protagonist's name but went through overseas channels, they effectively seized the protagonist's assets at the time. After the protagonist returned, they had no intention of returning them, and did not even offer any compensation.
Of course, the matters inside are not just that simple; there is still a lot of plot, but this will have to wait until it is slowly written out later.
The fifth question.
Why does the protagonist keep concealing the matter of the assets from his children?
It has been explained before: it is very difficult for people who become rich overnight to maintain their mindset, especially with this much money. The protagonist cannot guarantee that his children can maintain their previous mindset in the face of so much money.
The protagonist was actually preparing to cultivate his children's abilities while slowly letting them know about the family's financial situation.
And after the protagonist saw how his son and daughter-in-law interact, this is even more the case; otherwise, he cannot guarantee that such a harmonious family can be maintained.
Here, I thank the book friend "Mingye Luoxue" for their efforts in explaining in the comment section. Thank you very much, I bow in thanks!!!
At the same time, thank you to the big boss for the tips and support!!!
