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

Qiao Nianjiao looked unwilling to get involved in this matter.

Firstly, she had told Qiao Nianjun not to be too impulsive, but he wouldn't listen and insisted on causing trouble.

Secondly, she hadn't figured out who this handsome guy was yet, and she didn't want to miss a single second to take Qiao Nianjun out.

But Qiao Min said that, with so many relatives and this handsome man watching, she had no choice but to go up and pull Qiao Nianjun away.

After the two left, Qiao Min also greeted Grandpa Qiao and followed them out.

Once the atmosphere in the living room returned to normal, Grandpa Qiao patted Qiao Manman's hand and asked in a low voice with a smile.

"My little darling, are you satisfied with how Grandpa handled this?"

Qiao Manman was taken aback: "Grandpa..."

"Doesn't Grandpa know what you're thinking?"

Grandpa Qiao affectionately pinched Qiao Manman's nose: "You would never have acted like this with Grandpa before. Today's unexpected turn of events makes it clear that Grandpa understands."

Qiao Manman was startled.

This old man may have a smiling and easygoing appearance, but he's actually very perceptive.

He can tell at a glance who has a problem and who doesn't.

She should tone it down a bit next time. If people notice that she's different from the Qiao Manman she used to be, she'll have to spend time and energy dealing with the trouble.

Qiao Manman smiled and nodded at Grandpa Qiao, "As expected, I couldn't escape Grandpa's eagle eyes. Thank you for helping me, Grandpa!"

Grandpa Qiao laughed nonstop as Qiao Manman praised him: "Alright, my little darling, quickly show Grandpa what gift you bought for him."

Qiao Manman unwrapped the gift she brought, and a beautiful ice plum cup came into view.

At first glance, Mr. Qiao was not surprised.

Ice plum cups are already quite common ceramic ware, with prices ranging from high to low, so they are not unusual.

But upon a second glance, Grandpa Qiao hissed and frowned, saying, "Manman, bring some over so Grandpa can take a closer look."

Qiao Manman handed the gift box to Old Master Qiao. After taking it, Old Master Qiao said to the butler beside him, "Old Dong, go and get a small flashlight."

While the butler went to fetch the flashlight, Old Master Qiao was still carefully observing the scene while turning his cup.

However, Jiang Tingyan, who was standing in the corner silently observing everything before him, heard Jiang Shu's voice in his ear.

"Son, why are you still standing here?"

Jiang Shu had changed her clothes; the red dress she wore before had been replaced with a gentle and sophisticated light pink one.

She followed a strand of long hair hanging down in front of her and turned to look at Qiao Manman, who was still sitting with Grandpa Qiao.

Jiang Shu's beautiful eyes widened in surprise when she saw the teacup in Old Master Qiao's hand.

Was that a gift from Qiao Manman to Grandpa Qiao?!

Why didn't she give the gift as described in the novel?!

What happened in between?!

Just as Jiang Tingyan was about to respond to Jiang Shu's question, before she could even utter the first word, Jiang Shu suddenly walked towards the direction where she had been sitting.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Tingyan suddenly closed his lips, his handsome brows furrowed as he stared at Jiang Shu in disbelief.

Qiao Qinian, who also didn't understand what his wife was doing, chuckled and said to Jiang Tingyan, "Tingyan, come with me."

Jiang Tingyan nodded slightly, picked up the gift placed on the cabinet to the side, and walked to the sofa with Qiao Qinian to sit down.

Just as he sat down, Old Master Qiao's laughter suddenly rang out.

"Great! This teacup is wonderful!"

Everyone turned to look in the direction of Old Master Qiao, their gazes filled with curiosity as they stared at the ice plum cup in his hand.

Those who know a little about this field will come over to watch, while those who don't will observe from afar, occasionally offering a flattering remark.

Qiao Manman's uncle stood aside and pondered for a moment.

"The ability to imitate antiques is too advanced now. This ice plum cup looks very similar to the one from the Qianlong era."

Grandpa Qiao stopped what he was doing, his smile gradually fading as he glanced at his uncle.

The uncle was taken aback, and asked with a look of doubt, "Did I say something wrong?"

Do you know why you can only be a vice president of the company?

Grandpa Qiao carefully placed the ice plum cup into the box and handed it to the butler.

He solemnly instructed the steward to carefully place the ice plum cup in his study, in the most conspicuous place.

After the butler left with the gift box, the eldest uncle continued to ask Grandpa Qiao questions.

"Uncle, I admit I'm slow-witted and have poor eyesight, but please tell me, what kind of thing is this?"

In fact, it wasn't just the uncle who was curious; Qiao Manman's family and all the relatives present were also very curious.

Everyone stared intently at Old Master Qiao, waiting for his response.

Grandpa Qiao just smiled and took Qiao Manman's hand, saying, "Manman, buying this has used up all the money in your savings, hasn't it?"

Qiao Manman opened her mouth, unsure whether to accept or not.

Seeing this, the eldest uncle spoke up: "Oh, Uncle, stop keeping us in suspense and tell us quickly, what is your background?"

After being asked several times, Old Master Qiao had lost his patience.

He glanced at his uncle with displeasure and said, "Why aren't they asking me all the questions like you?! If you want to know, have your own child get one for you!"

"Sir, it's time for dinner."

No sooner had Old Master Qiao finished speaking than the servant came over to remind him that it was time for dinner.

Everyone got up and moved to the restaurant.

Apart from his uncle, who was close to Old Master Qiao, who followed behind Old Master Qiao and asked curiously, no one else really asked about the origin and authenticity of the Ice Plum Blossom Cup.

Among them, a large number believed that as Qiao Qinian's daughter, she had the ability to bid a high price for the ice plum cup as a gift.

A small number of people believe that Qiao Manman must have sent a defective product that was discovered by the old man, and that the old man didn't show it to others in order to save face for her.

Everyone followed behind Grandpa Qiao, each with their own thoughts, except for Jiang Tingyan, who remained seated on the sofa, his eyes lingering as he glanced towards the stairs.

Seeing that Jiang Tingyan hadn't followed, Qiao Qinian stopped and looked towards the sofa.

"A banquet?"

Jiang Tingyan withdrew his gaze, stood up, and walked towards Qiao Qinian and Jiang Shu.

"Yes, it's here."

When Jiang Tingyan walked up to them, he noticed that Jiang Shu was still frowning, looking serious as if he was thinking about something.

Jiang Tingyan pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked a question.

"What is Mother thinking?"

Jiang Shu clicked her tongue and muttered a sentence unconsciously.

"No, no, it's not following the original plot at all..."

Qiao Qinian and his cousins ​​were talking and didn't hear Jiang Shu's words. Although Jiang Tingyan heard it, the noise was too loud, and he only caught two key words.

"Incorrect" versus "original".

But Jiang Tingyan said nothing and asked nothing, and followed Jiang Shu into the restaurant.

The moment he stepped inside, Jiang Shu's features suddenly relaxed, and he clenched his fist as if he had just come to his senses.

"I see!!"

Jiang Shu's sudden action startled both Jiang Tingyan and Qiao Qinian, causing them to abruptly stop in their tracks.

The two looked at her, puzzled, but Jiang Shu ignored their gazes and walked forward happily.

Jiang Tingyan and Qiao Qinian exchanged a glance.

Unable to glean the answer from the other's eyes, they could only silently follow in Jiang Shu's footsteps.

Standing side-by-side behind Jiang Shu, Qiao Qinian suddenly spoke up: "Tingyan, don't you think your mother is different than before?"

Jiang Tingyan's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced at Qiao Qinian and asked indifferently.

"What do you want to say?"

Qiao Qinian maintained a calm smile throughout: "It's just that I feel your mother's personality is completely different from before."

"You don't like it?"

"How could that be?"

Qiao Qinian looked at Jiang Shu with eyes full of doting: "I have been trying to comfort your mother, hoping that she can become more cheerful and stop worrying about everything every day."

Jiang Tingyan withdrew his wary gaze and listened quietly as Qiao Qinian shared his thoughts.

Qiao Qinian: "Perhaps you find it hard to adapt to your mother's changes, but don't you think it's important that your mother is happy?"

After saying these words, Qiao Qinian did not wait for Jiang Tingyan's response.

He turned his head, smiled, and said, "In short, in my heart, your mother's current state is priceless."

"Tingyan, this is the real Jiang Shu."

Jiang Tingyan subtly lifted his eyelids and saw Jiang Shu suddenly stop and turn around to look for the two of them.

It wasn't until she saw Qiao Qinian and ran over to him like a child, taking his arm, that a subtle smile appeared on Jiang Tingyan's lips.

Perhaps this is for the best...

After watching the two of them together for a while, Jiang Tingyan finally composed himself and prepared to take his seat with them.

The three had just sat down when a startled exclamation suddenly rang in their ears.

"Qinian, is this your second wife?"

The sound wasn't loud, but it wasn't quiet either; it was just enough for all the relatives in the restaurant to hear.

Jiang Shu and the others turned their heads and looked at a woman dressed in jewels who sat down next to Jiang Shu.

She was around forty years old, with well-maintained features that exuded an air of arrogance. Her hair was styled high, and she possessed an exceptional demeanor.

However, sitting next to Jiang Shu, his aura was somewhat diminished.

When Jiang Shu met her gaze, she gave her a fake smile, then leaned closer to Qiao Qinian and asked.

"Who is this person?"

Jiang Shu's voice wasn't quiet either; although not loud enough for everyone to hear, the people sitting next to her heard it clearly.

Upon hearing Jiang Shu's question, Qiao Qinian immediately understood that his wife was preparing to retaliate against his cousin.

Qiao Qinian explained to Jiang Shu in a very cooperative manner: "Shushu, this is my second uncle's daughter, my cousin, Qiao Biqin."

Jiang Shu turned his head thoughtfully, extended his hand to Qiao Biqin, and openly acknowledged and greeted her.

"Oh, it's my cousin! What a pleasure to meet you. I'm Qi Nian's new wife, Jiang Shu."

Jiang Shu emphasized the word "new," clearly implying that even if it was a second marriage, so what?

They didn't receive a single penny of dowry from her family when they got married, so what does it have to do with her whether it's a second marriage or not?

Qiao Biqin looked down at Jiang Shu's hand. She reached out and was about to touch Jiang Shu's hand when Jiang Shu suddenly exclaimed "Ouch!" and quickly withdrew his hand.
