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

Jiang Tingyan did not respond and walked towards the door of the study.

Qiao Manman didn't understand what he meant, so she could only follow him and leave together.

The two arrived at the third floor one after the other, and Jiang Tingyan stopped: "Room."

Qiao Manman, wary of Jiang Tingyan's gaze, could only obediently lead the way and open the door.

The room in front of me was exactly the same as I remembered it, with off-white as the base color and warm lighting, making the whole room look exceptionally cozy.

The room is divided into three areas: a small living room, a bedroom, and a walk-in closet.

Jiang Tingyan handed the change of clothes to Qiao Manman: "I'll wait for you in the living room. Come out after you've washed, and I'll take you back."

Qiao Manman dared not keep this big Buddha waiting for long, so she grabbed the bag and rushed into the bathroom.

Jiang Tingyan did not sit down on the sofa, but stood there slowly looking around Qiao Manman's room.

He walked to the cabinet next to the TV and saw photos of Qiao Manman inside. He stared at them closely.

In the photo, Qiao Manman is wearing a riding outfit, and her neat attire makes her look very energetic.

She smiled at the camera, and the dimples on her cheeks added a touch of playfulness to her appearance.

Qiao Manman's smile is very infectious, making people who look at her photos unable to help but smile back at her.

Although Jiang Tingyan was an exception, the gloomy expression on his face gradually faded.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Tingyan looked away and was about to look elsewhere when a group photo on the cabinet below suddenly caught his attention.

He took two steps back to get a glimpse of the group photo.

Qiao Manman, who was also dressed in riding attire, stood next to a young man who appeared to be around the same age as her. Both of them had smiles on their faces.

If you don't look closely, it's hard to notice that the boy is holding Qiao Manman's hand.

Jiang Tingyan's eyes darkened noticeably, and with a cold expression, he took out his phone and snapped a picture.

He then walked to the sofa, sat down, and stared at the group photo from afar.

Qiao Manman, who was taking a shower in the bathroom, had no idea what Jiang Tingyan was doing outside.

After she finished showering, changed her clothes, and went outside, she noticed a chill in the air in the room.

Qiao Manman glanced towards the head of the bed and saw that the room was at a constant temperature. She then suspiciously dried her hair and walked towards the living room.

Jiang Tingyan sat on the sofa looking at his phone. Qiao Manman walked over to him and said, "I'm done washing up. We can go now."

Jiang Tingyan put down his phone and stood up. Seeing Qiao Manman holding her hair in a tissue and twisting it, he couldn't help but frown and ask.

"Not drying it?"

"No need, blow-drying the ends of your hair will make it dry and brittle."

Jiang Tingyan gave a slightly deep "hmm": "There's something I want to ask you."

Qiao Manman paused slightly in her movements: "What?"

Jiang Tingyan: "How many relationships have you had?"

Qiao Manman exclaimed in confusion, "Me? Dating? I just started college, what do you mean by dating?"

She racked her brains for a long time, but she never imagined that the original owner had a romantic history.

Why did Jiang Tingyan suddenly ask this question? Did someone tell him something, or did he observe something?

Qiao Manman couldn't help but start looking around.

Before I could even scan half the circle, my gaze was fixed on the group photo in the cabinet.

When Qiao Manman saw the boy standing next to her in the photo, a figure and a name immediately came to mind: Zhou Linyue.

Zhou Linyue and the original owner of this body were childhood sweethearts and had a very good relationship. If Zhou Linyue hadn't been betrothed before he was even born, he probably would have been engaged to Qiao Manman.

Zhou Linyue is not currently in China. She was sent abroad to study immediately after graduating from high school, and she hasn't been abroad for very long.

Qiao Manman thoughtfully pulled herself back to reality: "I didn't..."

"I've thought it through before answering."

Jiang Tingyan's expression remained indifferent, and his slightly lowered eyes still revealed little emotion.

But what he said was very strange!

Qiao Manman originally wanted to honestly explain her relationship with Zhou Linyue to Jiang Tingyan.

But after Jiang Tingyan blurted out those words, she no longer had that thought!

What does it mean to have thought it through and give a clear answer? Whether she has thought it through or not, it's all part of their childhood friendship!

Qiao Manman asked in an unhappy tone, "What kind of relationship do I have with other boys, whether I've ever been in a relationship or not, these things seem to have nothing to do with you, right?"

"Jiang Tingyan, aren't you being a bit too nosy?"

"Or do you think that just because I slept with you once, you consider me yours?"

Qiao Manman asked three questions in a row, causing Jiang Tingyan's eyes to narrow suddenly.

He didn't utter a word, just stared at Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman didn't think she had said anything wrong. If Jiang Tingyan could speak properly, she would definitely talk to him properly too.

He started this trouble for no reason, so what she did wasn't wrong, was it?

The two faced off for a moment. Qiao Manman felt a chill run down her spine from their stares and, unable to bear it any longer, tried to find a topic to talk about and change the subject.

"I'll go get the dirty clothes from the bathroom."

She had just turned around and taken a few steps when Jiang Tingyan's voice, whose emotions were hard to discern, suddenly came from behind her.

"So you think that having a relationship with me is something that can be easily overlooked?"

Qiao Manman suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She desperately wanted to tell Jiang Tingyan that the person he had a relationship with was not the real her.

If she could have entered the book a day earlier, she definitely wouldn't have done such an absurd thing.

She is not someone who would easily give her body away, much less entrust herself to someone else.

Even family ties can be betrayed in this world, so love is even more unbelievable.

Although she had considered trying to curry favor with Jiang Tingyan, she didn't think that currying favor meant binding the two of them together.

Can step-siblings hug each other?

If the situation of Jiang Shu being pushed off the building by her could be changed, her future would not be one of imprisonment.

To put it bluntly, as long as she lives under Qiao Qinian's doting care, she will never have to worry about food or clothing for the rest of her life!

Needless to say, this applies to men as well.

She'll still make a choice between a single tree and a forest!

Qiao Manman suppressed the smile on her lips and turned around to ask Jiang Tingyan curiously.

"Jiang Tingyan, you're asking this because you've developed feelings for me, aren't you?"

Jiang Tingyan suddenly pulled his hand away from his pocket.

But his handsome face remained expressionless as he stared at Qiao Manman and asked, "What do you want to say?"

Qiao Manman rested her hands on the back of the sofa, her face completely nonchalant.

"I don't believe in the idea that you can develop feelings for someone after sleeping with them once, and I think you're even less likely to believe it than I am."

A chill gradually crept into Jiang Tingyan's dark eyes.

He forced out two words through his teeth: "And then?"

Qiao Manman tugged at the corner of her lips, her smile nonchalant.

"So, does it really matter whether we admit it or not? We're all adults, aren't we?"

After saying that, Qiao Manman didn't wait for Jiang Tingyan's response and turned around gracefully to go into the bathroom to get her dirty clothes.

Taking the clothes was just an excuse for her, a pretext to escape from the oppressive atmosphere surrounding Jiang Tingyan.

What she just said was true, but she was also genuinely insecure.

Jiang Tingyan's eyes were like those of a hawk, as if they could see through all her thoughts. The longer she spent with him, the more she wanted to tell him the truth.

Unfortunately, her rebellious nature always made her subconsciously go against the grain.

Qiao Manman lingered in the bathroom for a while before finally coming out with her dirty clothes.

Jiang Tingyan was no longer in the living room.

He left so quietly that she didn't even notice a single footstep.

Qiao Manman felt a little disappointed, after all, she had driven away a handsome young man like that.

There is a very high chance that because of what she said today, he will become another woman's man in the future.

The thought of Jiang Tingyan making love with other women in bed filled Qiao Manman with regret.

However, this is for the best.

At least she doesn't have to experience the bittersweetness of love!

Qiao Manman did not go back with Qiao Qinian and the others, but instead asked Old Master Qiao to send someone to take her back.

Following Qiao Manman's suggestion, Grandpa Qiao escorted her to the villa entrance and asked, "Where is your stepmother's son? Isn't he with you?"

Qiao Manman was amused by what Grandpa Qiao said.

"Grandpa, he has his own things to do. I can't let my own affairs hold him back, can I?"

Grandpa Qiao smiled and teased, "It seems our Manman doesn't really like this older brother."

"I never said I disliked anyone," Qiao Manman quickly defended herself. "But disliking someone doesn't mean liking them. Anyway, we can live under the same roof."

Grandpa Qiao's smile always gave people a profound feeling.

He didn't say much, just nodded and helped Qiao Manman into the car.

Qiao Manman rolled down the car window: "Grandpa, it's chilly outside, please go inside quickly. I'll come back and have dinner with you when I have time."

"Alright, alright." Grandpa Qiao was overjoyed. "Tell the driver to drive slowly, and call Grandpa when you get home to let him know you're safe."

Qiao Manman nodded and waved goodbye to Grandpa Qiao.

Grandpa Qiao did not turn back to the villa as Qiao Manman had told him. Instead, he watched Qiao Manman leave before letting out a slow sigh.

Seeing this, the butler asked in confusion, "Master, are you reluctant to let Miss go back?"

Grandpa Qiao: "I can't bear to part with them. The children will grow up and have their own things to do. You can't keep them here even if you want to."

Butler: "They can't stay for long, but they can stay for a day or two."

Old Master Qiao stopped in his tracks and glared impatiently at the butler: "Old Dong, you've got quite a lot to say today."

The butler paused for a moment, then laughed: "It's also because I'm worried about you, sir."

Grandpa Qiao hummed in response, then looked up at the bright moon hanging high in the sky: "Don't you think Jiang Shu's son's attitude towards Manman is a little different?"

The butler pondered for a long time, then said without any clue, "I didn't notice."

Old Master Qiao puffed out his beard, glared again, glanced at the butler, and then muttered, "No wonder you can't find a wife!"

The butler smiled helplessly: "Whatever the master says goes."

As the two walked toward the villa, they were unaware that in a car behind them, Qiao Nianjiao and Qiao Nianjun were staring intently in the direction Qiao Manman had left.
