Best friends transmigrated into the roles of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? This script is wrong

Shen Que thought for a moment and said, "Your first question is indeed fine, but the last two questions are not."

"This place is secluded because we don't want to open it to outsiders, not because we're afraid of being investigated!"

Qiao Manman nodded thoughtfully.

As for how Shen Que discovered this place and how he joined the association, Qiao Manman wasn't particularly interested in asking.

After all, it's their privacy, and it's not good to ask too many questions.

Qiao Manman hugged the gifts in her arms tightly, preparing to cross the road with Shen Que.

Just as they reached the side of the road, a black car suddenly stopped in front of them.

As soon as Qiao Manman saw the car, Jiang Tingyan's image came to mind.

Sure enough, the car window rolled down, and Jiang Tingyan's devilishly handsome face appeared before them.

Her appearance was perfectly timed, as if she had been waiting for her nearby.

Seeing Qiao Manman in a daze, Jiang Tingyan tilted his head slightly and stared straight at her, asking.

"Not getting on the bus?"

Just as Qiao Manman was about to speak, Shen Que suddenly raised his hand to greet her.

"Hello, Teacher Jiang!"

Jiang Tingyan glanced at him lazily, gave a faint "hmm," and then continued to stare at Qiao Manman and speak.

"It takes forty minutes to get back to school from here, and an hour and a half to get from school to the old house. With traffic jams, it takes at least two and a half hours on the road."

"And there are still two and a half hours before the birthday party starts, are you sure you want to go by yourself?"

Upon hearing Jiang Tingyan's words, Qiao Manman instantly abandoned her initial intention to refuse.

She has indeed spent a lot of time here, and it's probably too late for her to go back to the school to get her car.

Qiao Manman said apologetically to Shen Que, "Shen, I owe you a favor. I'll treat you to a meal next time. I have to go now!"

"It's alright, you go ahead!"

Shen Que greeted Qiao Manman with a grin, and Qiao Manman took off her clothes and returned them to him.

Shen Que took the clothes, waved to Qiao Manman, and left.

Qiao Manman watched him cross the road before opening the car door of Jiang Tingyan and getting in.

She placed the gifts on her lap and used her free hands to fasten her seatbelt.

He then took a deep breath, turned to Jiang Tingyan, and asked, "Teacher Jiang, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it."

Jiang Tingyan stared intently at the road ahead: "Ask."

Qiao Manman's tone was unusually serious: "How did you know I was here?"

Jiang Tingyan frankly admitted, "I had Assistant Chen follow me the whole way."

Qiao Manman glared at him. How could this person talk about stalking so confidently?

She took a deep breath: "Jiang Tingyan, I don't think this is a respectful thing to do."

Jiang Tingyan's car slowly came to a stop at the intersection. He took his hands off the steering wheel and suddenly glanced at Qiao Manman.

"Are you talking to me about respect?"

His cold expression instantly brought back memories of that night at the hotel for Qiao Manman.

Her eyes twitched, and she suddenly turned her head to look ahead, swallowing nervously in embarrassment.

So, is she going to have to take the blame for all the mistakes the original owner made?

Qiao Manman gritted her teeth and swallowed the matter. After a moment of silence, she spoke again, preparing to ask a question.

However, just as she turned her head, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar gift box out of the corner of her eye.

She turned around and took a closer look, and after seeing the brand name on it, her brows furrowed slightly.

"Yun Porcelain Museum..."

She murmured to herself, then turned her gaze to Jiang Tingyan's handsome profile.

"Did you buy some porcelain at the Yunci Museum today?"

Jiang Tingyan stopped the car at the traffic light intersection and glanced in the direction of Qiao Manman's gaze.

He countered, "What's the problem?"

Qiao Manman pressed further, "When did you buy it?"

"morning."

Qiao Manman told Jiang Tingyan when he bought the porcelain. Jiang Tingyan paused for two seconds, then nodded and said "Mm".

Jiang Tingyan was about to ask Qiao Manman why she asked that question when Qiao Manman chuckled helplessly.

"So you were the one who bought it..."

Jiang Tingyan's handsome brows suddenly furrowed: "What do you mean by that?"

Qiao Manman stroked the gift box in her hand, her tone tinged with emotion.

"I didn't mean anything by it, I was just remarking that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have discovered such a treasure trove."

Jiang Tingyan fell silent because of Qiao Manman's words.

He couldn't figure out what Qiao Manman meant by omitting the beginning and end of her words.

The only thing I could understand was that she was secretly pleased.

She was happy that she went out with Shen Que and was very grateful to Shen Que for taking her to a certain place to buy things.

A mocking smile appeared on Jiang Tingyan's lips as he gave a cold laugh.

"It seems that having a man by your side makes you very happy."

Qiao Manman suddenly turned her head and stared at him in disbelief.

Is there any woman in the world who doesn't like having a handsome guy around her?

Seeing a handsome guy is a compliment to one's own looks and appearance!

Plus, he's a warm and handsome guy who can help her. Is she out of her mind to push him away?

Qiao Manman asked, amused, "You don't like women?"

Another nonsensical question.

Jiang Tingyan turned the steering wheel to the right: "What does this have to do with my liking for women?"

"Yeah, that's only natural! So if I'm unhappy that a handsome guy is next to me, am I supposed to cry?"

Jiang Tingyan's face instantly darkened: "So you're willing to accept any man with even a modicum of good looks as having him by your side?"

Qiao Manman didn't understand whether she felt uncomfortable because of what Jiang Tingyan had said and asked, or because Jiang Tingyan's previous behavior had upset her.

She seemed determined, and continued speaking in accordance with Jiang Tingyan's words.

"Of course! Let alone beside me, if I were even a little bolder, I'd want to have one on each side!"

No sooner had Qiao Manman finished speaking than Jiang Tingyan's car suddenly braked.

Her body lurched forward due to inertia; if it weren't for the seatbelt holding her back, her head would probably have hit the windshield.

Qiao Manman looked ahead with trepidation, but seeing nothing unusual, she turned around and yelled at Jiang Tingyan.

"Jiang Tingyan, are you out of your mind?!"

Qiao Manman's chest heaved rapidly: "Slamming on the brakes for no reason, who are you trying to scare to death?!"

"Do you see every man as nothing more than a tool for amusement?"

Jiang Tingyan's silhouette was mostly obscured by the dim light and shadow. He slowly turned his head, his deep eyes carrying a piercingly cold aura.

Qiao Manman's anger was instantly suppressed.

She swallowed nervously.

Things have developed to this point, and the atmosphere has become more intense.

If she loses her temper now and suppresses her emotions, won't Jiang Tingyan bully her from now on?!

In that family, she had absolutely no status!

Qiao Manman mustered her courage, straightened her neck, and continued speaking.

"Does it really matter whether it is or isn't? Jiang Tingyan, why are you always picking on me?! Why are you always targeting me like this?"

Jiang Tingyan stared silently at Qiao Manman as she yelled at him in a loud voice.

After she finished speaking, he parted his lips slightly and continued to ask questions.

"I'll ask you again, the question I just asked. In your eyes, are men merely tools for amusement?"

When Jiang Tingyan said those words, his tone remained indifferent, as if one could not discern any emotion in him.

But Qiao Manman, who was sitting face to face with him, saw clearly the way he spoke.

Those half-closed eyes suddenly lifted slightly upwards.

When the eyes are illuminated by the light from the car control screen, revealing a sharp gleam, they also give off a strong sense of intimidation!

The air in the entire carriage seemed to stand still, and a chill crept up Qiao Manman's back and spread to the back of her neck.

It was as if an invisible hand was slowly tightening its grip on her neck.

Qiao Manman only stared at him for two seconds before her stubbornness suddenly dissipated.

A warning echoed in her mind—she couldn't continue to go against Jiang Tingyan!

If this standoff continues, she might lose her life tonight!

A wise man doesn't fight a losing battle! As long as you're alive, you can always make a comeback!

Qiao Manman immediately turned around, looked straight ahead, and scoffed righteously.

"I really don't know what you're talking about! Don't make me sound so frivolous! Not every man can talk to me like that!"

Qiao Manman's two small hands, hidden in her sleeves, were already clenched into fists with tension.

His palms were sweating profusely, and he kept a close eye on Jiang Tingyan's situation out of the corner of his eye.

She's already saved face for herself, so it's not unreasonable to give her some leeway, right?

Fortunately, after hearing her say that, Jiang Tingyan silently withdrew his gaze and continued driving towards the Qiao family's old residence.

For the rest of the journey, neither of them spoke to the other.

Only when they reached the entrance of the Qiao family villa did Qiao Manman jump out of the car in a panic, as if fleeing.

It's more like a large estate with Chinese-style architecture than a villa.

The road is lined with garden-style landscaping, and after passing a stream and artificial hill, you finally arrive at the villa.

Several luxury cars were parked in front of the villa. Old Master Qiao didn't like to make a big fuss about his birthday banquet; he only invited members of the Qiao family.

Old Master Qiao's two brothers, and several uncles, aunts and cousins.

These people appear to be as close as one person on the surface, but in reality, they all secretly want to step on each other.

As the eldest brother, Old Master Qiao was well aware of their secret rivalry, but the reason he didn't interfere was quite simple.

As long as we're united for the company, let's fight if we want.

Qiao Manman took a breath of cold air and was about to walk towards the villa entrance when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a cool black Ferrari out of the corner of her eye.

Upon seeing this, two faces instantly appeared in Qiao Manman's mind.

Before the face could be clearly seen, a shrill, sarcastic voice suddenly came from behind.

"Oh, I thought it was someone else, but it's just my cousin."

Qiao Manman turned her head at the sound and saw a girl with a low ponytail and wearing a black cheongsam appear in front of her.

Standing next to her was a boy in a leather jacket, who also raised his hand to greet Qiao Manman in a cocky manner.

"Good evening, cousin. You've been standing here without saying a word. I thought you were a telephone pole that suddenly appeared out of nowhere."

This man and woman are my uncle's son and daughter.

The two are twins, look very alike, have difficult personalities, and speak arrogantly and domineeringly, looking down on everyone.

Just as Qiao Manman was about to speak, Qiao Nianjiao suddenly covered her mouth in surprise and said.

"Cousin, it's Grandpa's birthday, and you came dressed so casually?"
