Chapter 579 Rui Shan's Purpose

Yu Yashi recognized Rui Shan almost immediately upon seeing her.

She put down the soup spoon and stood up.

"Ding Yue, please invite Ms. Rui in."

Ding Yue immediately stepped aside to welcome the person inside.

Rui Shan walked in, thanked Ding Yue elegantly, and then looked at Yu Yashi again.

"Who are you?"

Rui Shan's scrutiny was undisguised; though she was smiling, there was little sincerity in her smile.

Even if Yu Yashi is naive, she wouldn't be so stupid as to think that Rui Shan really doesn't know who she is, even after Rui Shan came to her door.

"Hello Aunt Rui, nice to meet you. My name is Yu Yashi. You should have heard of me. My third brother and I just got our marriage certificate not long ago."

"Yu Yashi?" Rui Shan nodded as if suddenly realizing something. "So you're Yashi?"

As she spoke, her gaze swept over Yu Yashi without any attempt to conceal it, saying, "She is quite pretty, but I'm rather surprised that Aze would like your type."

Yu Yashi felt slightly uncomfortable with Rui Shan's gaze and words, but having just met her, she didn't know if Rui Shan was doing it on purpose or if she was just naturally outspoken...

She pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and tried her best to maintain the politeness expected of a junior. She pointed to the sofa and said, "Aunt Rui, please have a seat."

"Okay, thank you." Rui Shan thanked her with a smile without any hesitation, and then walked to the main seat on the sofa and sat down.

Throughout the entire process, she remained completely at ease. After sitting down, she looked at Yu Yashi and smiled slightly, "Yashi, don't stand, sit down too."

Yu Yashi looked at her.

What a smooth and effortless reversal of fortune!

She didn't speak, but looked at Ding Yue and said, "Ding Yue, prepare some tea and snacks for Aunt Rui."

Ding Yue nodded and looked at Rui Shan, "Ms. Rui, would you like some herbal tea or coffee?"

"I'm sorry, I don't drink these. Herbal teas and coffee contain pigments. I usually drink some health teas."

Upon hearing this, Ding Yue looked troubled and turned to Yu Yashi.

Yu Yashi looked at Rui Shan and smiled faintly, "How about I pour you a glass of pure milk? The pure milk here has a rich and mellow taste."

Upon hearing this, Rui Shan smiled elegantly at Yu Yashi and said, "Alright, then let's make pure milk."

Yu Yashi glanced at Ding Yue.

Ding Yue understood and turned to walk into the kitchen.

Yu Yashi hadn't eaten breakfast yet; she didn't intend to go hungry for Ruishan's sake.

Ding Yue came out of the kitchen and handed the milk to Rui Shan on the coffee table. "Ms. Rui, please have some."

"Thank you." Rui Shan nodded to Ding Yue, picked up her cup, and took a small sip.

"Aunt Rui, please have a seat. I'll make a call to my third brother," Yu Yashi said, heading towards the dining table.

Her phone was on the dining table.

“No rush.” Rui Shan put down her cup and looked at Yu Ya Shi. “I came straight here today because I wanted to take advantage of A Ze’s absence and have a chat with you.”

Yu Yashi paused, then pursed her lips.

Sure enough, everything Rui Shan said and did from the moment she entered the room until now was intentionally targeting her.

Yu Yashi was actually annoyed by this kind of back-and-forth, guessing game, but since the other party was Yu Changze's biological mother, she didn't want things to get too tense.

Since we can't afford to offend them, let's just stay away for now!

"I haven't had breakfast yet," Yu Yashi said. "Aunt Rui, would you mind having breakfast first?"

Rui Shan didn't expect Yu Yashi to say that.

This seems to be different from the information she found before.

Wasn't Yu Yashi supposed to be weak, easily bullied, obedient, and lacking in assertiveness?

But looking at Yu Yashi now, Rui Shan felt that she was quite composed!

Rui Shan smiled faintly, "Of course, you're pregnant now, so three meals a day are very important."

"Thank you for your understanding, Aunt Rui." After saying that, Yu Yashi turned and walked towards the dining table.

Rui Shan watched as she sat down at the dining table, picked up a soup spoon, and focused on drinking the bird's nest soup from her bowl.

The girl, whom the Yu family had raised from childhood as a tool for arranged marriage, was smug, with delicate features, and appeared to be gentle and obedient.

Rui Shan looked at him, her eyes devoid of any warmth.

The Yu family is now declining, and a woman like Yu Yashi has no value to men anymore.

She's too ordinary; how could she be worthy of a genius director who's now enjoying both fame and fortune?

...

After drinking the bird's nest soup and eating a few xiaolongbao (soup dumplings), Yu Yashi felt full.

She probably hasn't been sleeping well these past couple of days, and she hasn't had much of an appetite.

Ruishan watched as Yashi picked up a napkin to wipe her mouth, then stood up and looked at her, smiling slightly, "Yashi, I think the scenery outside is quite nice. How about we go for a walk?"

Yu Yashi paused in her typing on her phone and looked up.

Rui Shan looked at her and said, "It's easier to talk while walking. You're pregnant, so you should go out more often and breathe some fresh air. It's good for the baby."

After typing the last few words, Yu Yashi clicked send.

Then she stood up with her phone in hand, looked at Ruishan, and said, "Okay."

...

Swan Lake is just a short walk from outside.

Yu Yashi and Rui Shan walked to the lakeside and sat down on a granite bench under an old tree.

"You just texted Aze, right?"

Yu Yashi readily replied, "Yes, he thought you would go directly to the hospital to meet them when you arrived in Switzerland. Now that you've come here directly, I have to let him know."

“I came here to see you.” Rui Shan looked at Yu Ya Shi, her elegant smile still on her face. “Ya Shi, Aunt Rui knows you are a good girl, and she also knows that you and A Ze have a deep relationship over the past twenty years, but siblings and husband and wife are different. The way you are now... I think it’s unfair to A Ze.”

Yu Yashi frowned slightly. "Why do you say that?"

“Ya Shi, I don’t want to be too blunt, but you’re carrying A Ze’s child. A Ze married you out of a sense of responsibility, but marriage is a lifelong commitment. He achieved his success through his own hard work, and he needs a wife who can provide even greater support to his career, but you…”

Yu Yashi didn't expect Rui Shan to say anything nice.

But I didn't expect her to be so presumptuous right from the start.

How much does Rui Shan really know about Yu Changze?

“Aunt Rui, you are my third brother’s biological mother. As his wife, I should respect you. But this is only our first meeting, isn’t it? In such a short time, how much can you possibly know about me?”

“I’ve investigated you.” Rui Shan’s expression turned serious. “Among the Yu family’s children, you are the most ordinary and weakest. Someone like you will not be of any help to Aze’s career and will only distract him and hold him back.”

Yu Yashi asked calmly, "Then what kind of woman do you think would be most helpful to Third Brother?"

“Of course, it’s a woman who can help him in his career.” Rui Shan said, then sighed with feigned regret, “You’re too indecisive, and the Yu family isn’t what it used to be. If it were the old Yu family, even if you were just an ordinary person, you would at least have your family’s background to back you up, and I would turn a blind eye. But now…”

"So, you're here today to persuade them to leave?"

Rui Shan paused, then took Yu Yashi's hand and said gently, "How can I make decisions for you? I'm just analyzing it for you. Besides, you're pregnant with Aze's child now. Even if you want a divorce, you have to wait until the child is born. But don't worry, even if you get divorced, Aze won't abandon you and your child. You and your child won't have a hard time."

Yu Yashi could no longer bear it, so she abruptly pulled her hand back and stood up.

Rui Shan looked up at her.

Yu Yashi said coldly, "Ms. Rui, thank you for your kindness, but I'm sorry, I'm destined to disappoint you. I will not divorce Third Brother."

Rui Shan was taken aback.

She was about to say something more when she heard Yu Yashi say—

"Also, I'm quite curious, don't you love Rui Xiangning very much? Didn't you come here for her sake? But now that she has a high fever and is hospitalized, you don't seem very worried. Instead, you're still trying to manipulate me here!"
