After thinking it over carefully, Old Madame Tang made an appointment to meet Ye You Ran at a café. Ye You Ran entered the café 20 minutes earlier, but the old lady was punctual. She came at the right time.

This was the first time the old lady saw Ye Yulan after nine years. Ye You Ran's appearance was still the same as it was nine years ago. She was still as beautiful as ever. Her beauty caused everyone in the coffee shop to cast sidelong glances at her.

The old lady sat down opposite Ye Yulan, who smiled politely at her and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

"Blue Mountain!" The old lady spat out the word.

The waiter quickly brought in the coffee. The old lady stirred the coffee with a spoon for a while before stopping. She slowly said to Ye Yulan, "You're much thinner than before."

Ye You Ran smiled faintly but didn't say anything.

She did not say anything, and the old lady did not mind. She sighed softly, "Time flies so quickly!" In a flash, it's already been nine years! "

Ye You Ran understood what the old lady meant. Ye You Ran still remembered some of the things she said when she asked him to meet her at the coffee shop. "Don't worry, old lady. I will always remember what you said to me. I will never have any presumptuous thoughts."

Embarrassment flashed across the old lady's face when she answered his question. At that time, she had not been the least bit polite to Ye You Ran. She had not shown him the slightest bit of mercy as she took a sip of her coffee.

"I've also heard about your son's illness. Such a young child, and such a clever and adorable one. What a pity."

"Yeah, the heavens are too blind!" Ye You Ran replied indifferently. There was no trace of sadness or joy on his face.

"Ye Yulan, there's something I want to ask of you." The Countess could only cut to the chase, "Can you leave Tang Yu City? I mean, your child needs treatment, so I can give you another help. I just hope that you won't appear in front of Tang Yucheng. "

Ye You Ran knew that the madame was looking for him because of Tang Yucheng. If it was in the past, she would definitely agree to leave Tang Yucheng straightforwardly, but right now, Le Le's treatment was in progress. Tang Yucheng said that the treatment method used by the main doctor was very helpful to Le Le.

"Ye Yiran, I know it's not a good time to look for you, but I have no choice. The parents and elders all think of the happiness of the younger generation. I don't want to see my grandson being alone for the rest of his life."

Seeing her silence, the old lady considered her words, "Tang Yucheng always had you in his heart. He's already been single for 9 years for you, and he can live for a few more years. Do you really have the heart to see him just like that?"

"I've never thought of letting Tang Yucheng live alone until the end of her life. Tang Yucheng is the best person I've met in my life, and I've treated him as a friend, confidante, and elder brother. I hope that his happy heart is the same as yours." Ye Yulan answered.

"I believe that you wish for Tang Yucheng to be happy, but do you know? Tang Yucheng's happiness has always been controlled by you, and all these years, his heart has always been yours. I've arranged dozens of girls for him, but he hasn't taken a fancy to any of them …" "For the sake of his life, I have given up all hope. Ye Yulan, I beg of you, please stay far away from Tang Yucheng!"

"Old madam, do you really think that if I stay away from Tang Yucheng, I will change everything?" "That year, you told me to stay away from Tang Yucheng to help him achieve his happiness. I listened to you as you left Tang Yucheng, married Mu Jinyang, married Mu Jinyang for five years, and Tang Yucheng never got married. Could it be that this is also my fault?"

"This …" The old mistress didn't have anything to say for now. Ye You Ran had indeed married Mu Jin Yang for five years, and Tang Yu Cheng clearly knew that it was hopeless and hadn't changed.

"Madam, I don't think that I have the ability to control Tang Yucheng. Perhaps right now, Tang Yucheng is indeed partly because of me, but if it wasn't for you, he wouldn't have become like this."

"Ye You Ran, back then, I was indeed inconsiderate. Tang Yucheng's parents died when he was young, and I raised him by myself, so I had very high expectations for him. Thus, finding a suitable wife for him to help him with was his greatest help. On the other hand, since you know that you are Xia Zhengang's daughter, why didn't you tell me your identity? As long as you have a trace of love for Tang Yucheng, you wouldn't refuse and accept it. "

"I don't have any feelings for Tang Yucheng?" Ye Yulan could not help but sneer. She had always been pursuing pure emotions, but it had always been contrary to her wishes. Those around her had always taken a fancy to status and power.

Indeed, back then when Xia Zhengang had said that he might be able to get the madame to agree to the matter between her and Tang Yucheng, who knew what she was thinking? Her mother had died because of Xia Zhengang's adoption of a mistress and an illegitimate daughter, and she was forced to recognize such a shameless person as her father.

"My lady, if your father were to carry your mother and raise an illegitimate daughter outside, causing your mother's death, would you recognize her?"

"Of course not!" The madame answered and looked at Ye You Ran in surprise. "What do you mean?"

"If the madame paid any attention to Xia Zhengang, she would know that his daughter is the same age as me."

"So that's how it is!" The old mistress sighed, "I've misunderstood you. I'm sorry!"

"Old Madam, let me tell you the truth. It's not that I didn't like Tang Yucheng back then, it's just that I know that there is no difference between us and I don't have the qualifications to like him, so I suppressed this affection deep within my heart. Later on, when you came to find me and said those words, I automatically withdrew. I'll persuade him to look for the other half. "

Ye You Ran took a deep breath. "As for what you said about me disappearing … I'll tell you clearly, I won't disappear …" Ye You Ran was stunned when she suddenly realized that the old lady's face had paled and her eyes were filled with fear. She turned around and saw that the coffee shop was unusually quiet.

One of the robbers locked the café door behind him, while the others pointed their guns at the coffee drinkers and gathered them together.

Ye You Ran, who had never encountered such a thing, was stunned and couldn't move from his seat. Although the old lady was used to big scenes, she was restricted from shopping mall fights. Everything before her was a matter of life and death.

The robber knocked on the table in front of them with his gun, signaling for them to gather together. Ye Yulan helped the old lady into the crowd.

The robbers began to talk, to the effect that they were asking the coffee shop to hand over their wallets, including jewelry. In order to preserve their lives, they did as they were told.

The robbers pointed their weapons at them while the other two took their wallets and jewelry. When they arrived in front of the madame, the madame handed them their wallets without hesitation. She also passed the necklace and bracelet on her neck to the robber.

The robber opened the wallet. Mrs. Tang had very little cash in her wallet, but she had quite a few bank cards. The robber's target this time was cash, so they took out their wallet and threw it to the old lady.

However, the robber didn't expect a name card to fall out. He picked up the name card and carefully looked at it, his face changing color. He held the name card and ran to the leader of the group to whisper a few words. The leader of the group walked over and stared at the old lady for a while before asking, "Are you Mrs. Tang Xiulian?"

Old Tang knew it was useless to deny it, so she nodded.

Ye You Ran's heart sank as he cursed inwardly. The Tang family's reputation here was not small. How could they let the madame off when they knew her identity? This was definitely going to be bad.

She immediately opened her mouth. "She isn't Madame Tang. You have mistaken her for someone else!"

"Isn't it? I remember seeing pictures of the old lady in the papers. " The leader of the robbers snickered, "Why don't we call him and confirm it?"

Old Tang knew that it was useless to run away, so she admitted her identity.

"I didn't expect to meet old lady Tang here. We wanted to invite old lady Tang to come with us as guests. Don't worry, we're only here for money and won't harm you!" After saying that, he shot a glance at a bandit.

The robber dragged the madame outside. Ye You Ran hurried forward to stop them. "You can't take her away!"

"Scram!" The robber pushed Ye You Ran aside. Ye You Ran was pushed to the ground. She didn't give up and got up to continue begging, "You took her away for money. Since you're taking me away, it's the same. I'm her granddaughter. Let me be the hostage!" Let my grandmother go back, and she will raise money for you. "

"Are you really her granddaughter?" The kidnapper was in disbelief.

"Yes, I'm Tang Mingzhu. My grandmother is old and her health isn't too good, so she can't bear to be scared. You all just don't want to cause trouble for money, right?"

Tang Mingzhu was a young miss of the Tang clan, so she had naturally heard of the robbers. After considering it a bit, the old lady did indeed look very old, and an accident would inevitably occur when she was taken hostage.

Ye You Ran was led out of the coffee shop by the robber. Before leaving, he instructed the madame to prepare 100 million cash. After the robber left with Ye You Ran, the people in the coffee shop chose to call the police.

The old mistress was very worried about Ye Yulan's safety. If it wasn't for Ye Yulan, she would have been the one to be taken away by the kidnappers. She had to use a ransom to save Ye You Ran.

When they returned to the Tang residence, the Countess told the housekeeper to prepare the cash and deliver it to Ye Yulan when the kidnapper called. When Tang Mingzhu returned and understood the situation, she asked, "Grandmother, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"

"What chance?"

"The chance to get rid of Ye Yulan." Tang Mingzhu reminded. As long as we don't call for ransom, the kidnappers will tear up the votes. Ye You Ran will disappear completely at that time. You don't have to worry about your big brother anymore. "

"What did you say?" The old lady looked at Tang Mingzhu in astonishment, as if she didn't recognize her, "How can you have such a frightening thought?" Ye You Ran was taken away by the kidnappers in order to save our grandmother.

"I... "I …" Tang Mingzhu knew that she had misspoken. She always had a gentle and kind appearance, and when she said something like that, it was no surprise that the old lady would be surprised.
