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

Qiao Manman was unhappy and directly confronted them, completely disregarding Qiao Qiqi and Lin Wu's thoughts.

Since the relationship is already this bad, how much worse can it get?

At worst, we'll never see each other again in this lifetime. Since there's no affection between us, seeing each other would be pointless.

Qiao Qiqi hadn't expected Qiao Manman to say such hurtful things. She looked helplessly at Lin Wu: "Mom...did I say something wrong...?"

Lin Wu's expression was also not very good, but since she had not yet achieved her goal, she simply tolerated Qiao Manman's behavior.

Lin Wu: "Manman, Mom knows you're upset that Mom has been focusing all her attention on your younger sister and hasn't been able to come and check on you much."

"But Manman, you have no conflict with your sister. Do you understand what Mommy means?"

Can Qiao Manman say that she doesn't understand and doesn't want to understand?

She stared at Lin Wu: "Just tell me the reason you came to see me today, there's no need to beat around the bush."

Seeing the lack of patience in Qiao Manman's eyes, Lin Wu finally spoke frankly.

"I closed a deal overseas and will be away for a while. Qiqi isn't feeling well and can't travel with me, so I'd like you to take Qiqi back tonight."

Qiao Manman paused as she picked up the cup again.

Should we let her take Qiao Qiqi back?

In front of Qiao Qinian, they put on a show of sisterly affection, with the older sister needing her younger sister to come and help her deal with her stepmother.

Qiao Manman didn't want to do this at all; there were some things she could do herself.

Qiao Manman declined, saying, "I can't make that decision. You should talk to your father."

"Qiqi is also his daughter, there's no way he wouldn't want her." Lin Wu advised Qiao Manman, "I didn't really want to contact your father either, so I contacted you instead."

"Are you afraid your father won't approve, so you want to follow my path?"

Qiao Manman asked bluntly, "I will not do this before Father agrees. If Father agrees, then I have nothing to say."

Before Lin Wu could say anything more, Qiao Qiqi suddenly grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Mom, don't make things difficult for my sister... cough cough... I'll call Dad."

Lin Wu looked worried: "Qiqi, the reason why Mom didn't let you call your dad is because I was afraid he would refuse you and make you angry."

"Your body can't take any stress."

"Then they definitely can't come here!" Qiao Manman seized the opportunity.

This drew puzzled looks from Lin Wu and Qiao Qiqi, and Lin Wu's expression gradually turned serious as she asked.

"What happened? Did your father mistreat you, or did your new wife bully you?"

Qiao Manman originally wanted to use Lin Wu's words to expose Jiang Shu's bad behavior.

But as the words were about to come out, she didn't know where to begin talking about how bad Jiang Shu was.

Having read the original novel, she knew that Jiang Shu was not a bad woman.

The key to their conflict was that she slept with Jiang Tingyan, which led to Jiang Shu launching a series of attacks against her.

If there really is a problem, it lies with the original owner of the body.

Qiao Manman glanced at Lin Wu with a quiet look.

She couldn't very well tell Lin Wu that she had slept with someone else's son, which was why they were arguing so much, could she?

Suppressing her inner thoughts, Qiao Manman shook her head at Lin Wu: "What I mean is, not many people care about Qiao Qiqi."

"She's been by your side for so long, it's inevitable that she'll feel a sense of loss in the Qiao family."

"I don't mind these things, sister."

Qiao Qiqi hurriedly spoke up for herself, but her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke.

"As long as Dad and my sister have me in their hearts, that's enough..."

After saying these words, Qiao Qiqi blushed and raised her hand to cover her mouth, coughing violently.

Lin Wu hurriedly patted her back and called out to Qiao Manman, "Manman, don't just stand there, quickly pour Qiqi a glass of water."

Qiao Manman stared at the two people putting on a show of family affection in front of her, and felt a strange sense of irony.

She poured water for Qiao Qiqi and pushed it towards Lin Wu, saying, "Here you go."

Lin Wu grabbed the water glass to test the water temperature, then frowned.

"It's too hot."

Qiao Manman's eyes twitched. Seeing that Qiao Qiqi's face had turned a deep, liver-colored red from coughing, she reluctantly got up and prepared to go outside to get some warm water.

Not long after Qiao Manman left the private room, Qiao Qiqi's cough gradually stopped.

She gently placed her slender, pale hand on Lin Wu's arm, shook her head, and said, "It's okay, Mom. I'll make the call now."

After saying that, Qiao Qiqi gave Lin Wu a weary smile.

"Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely find a way to get the money from Dad to help you get through the company's difficulties."

Lin Wu felt extremely sorry for Qiao Qiqi.

However, her company encountered significant problems and needed substantial funds to operate.

Even if she only gets 500,000 or 1 million, it will give her a little breathing room.

With no suitable candidate and not being close to Qiao Manman, she had no choice but to send her beloved youngest daughter to help.

Fortunately, her younger daughter is sensible and understands her suffering.

It's not like she's the eldest daughter; I can't see a single bit of love for her!

When Qiao Manman returned with the warm water, she happened to hear Qiao Qiqi's voice coming from the private room.

"Dad, I'm Qiqi."

Her voice sounded weaker than before she started coughing.

I don't know what Qiao Qinian said, but Qiao Qiqi laughed twice and then continued.

"Dad knows that my health has been like this for the past few years; it hasn't gotten worse or better."

After listening to their casual conversation for a couple of minutes, Qiao Qiqi gently got to the point.

"Dad, I...can I ask you for a favor? Can I stay at your house for a while?"

Qiao Manman couldn't help but chuckle softly upon hearing this.

If she were Qiao Qinian, she would definitely grant Qiao Qiqi's request.

After all, she is her own biological daughter, not some child she picked up from somewhere.

How can I refuse when my own child wants to come and stay with me for a while?

Sure enough, the next second Qiao Manman heard Qiao Qiqi's happy voice.

"That's great, Dad, I'll... cough cough cough..."

He was only halfway through his sentence when he coughed due to excessive excitement.

Qiao Manman sighed softly, pushed open the door, and handed the warm water in her hand to Lin Wu.

Lin Wu noticed that the water temperature was just right, so she gently coaxed Qiao Qiqi to drink two sips to relieve the discomfort.

Qiao Qinian was very patient and didn't hang up the phone. He waited for Qiao Qiqi to tell him that she would come over tonight and they could talk later before he agreed and hung up.

Once Qiao Qinian agreed, Lin Wu and Qiao Qiqi finally felt relieved and started eating.

The mother and daughter chatted and laughed, even serving each other food. In contrast, Qiao Manman, who hadn't touched her chopsticks, seemed like an outsider, sitting there particularly out of place.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Qinian looked at Jiang Shu, who was sitting next to him drying her hair and staring at him intently.

He smiled helplessly: "You heard everything?"

Jiang Shu pouted unhappily: "Your youngest daughter doesn't contact you much, so why is she suddenly coming to stay here?"

Speaking of this, Qiao Qinian didn't quite understand either.

He speculated, "Logically speaking, Qiqi and I aren't that close, so she wouldn't come here to live with me."

"But this time it came so suddenly, maybe Lin Wu has something to do and doesn't have time to take care of the child... Oh dear..."

Before he could finish speaking, Qiao Qinian's cry of pain interrupted him.

He looked at the sulking Jiang Shu with a horrified expression: "Shu Shu, did I say something wrong?"

Jiang Shu sneered and withdrew her hand: "You care so much about your ex-wife? You even know whether she's busy or not?"

Qiao Qinian rubbed the spot where he had been pinched and chuckled sheepishly, "Isn't this just a guess?"

Jiang Shu stuffed her wet hair into a hair drying cap: "I'm petty anyway, I can't stand hearing you say anything about your ex-wife."

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about her," Qiao Qinian coaxed with a smile. "Let's continue talking about my youngest daughter."

"Your eldest daughter is already enough of a hassle for me, are you going to skin me alive if your youngest daughter comes along?"

Jiang Shu was uncertain, since she had never seen Qiao Qiqi in the original story and didn't know what the child's situation was.

It's strange, really, because the plot of the book seems to have changed a lot after she transmigrated into it.

None of the things that should have happened happened, and everything that shouldn't have happened happened.

"Qiqi's personality was originally very similar to her mother's—outspoken, disdainful of everyone, and even aggressive. But since she got sick, her personality seems to have become much more restrained."

Qiao Qinian's words elicited a scoff from Jiang Shu: "Qiao Manman's personality is just like her mother's, isn't it?"

"No, it's just like me."

Qiao Qinian retorted to Jiang Shu's words without hesitation.

Jiang Shu was somewhat surprised.

Qiao Qinian has a gentle personality and is calm in his work. How could Qiao Manman, with her fiery temper, be like Qiao Qinian?

Qiao Qinian noticed the doubt on Jiang Shu's face, so he handed her the milk and explained it to her in detail.

"Manman was able to get into Peking University, which is enough to show that she is like me. On the other hand, Qiqi only went to a vocational high school."

"Manman is a pitiful child. She has never had a mother's love since she was a child, which is why I am more tolerant of her in some things."

"This child is strong-willed, afraid of losing, and very wary of everyone, so it's understandable that she can't accept you yet."

After listening to Qiao Qinian's words, Jiang Shu felt that he was not talking about Qiao Manman at all.

In her opinion, Qiao Manman had no fighting spirit whatsoever in anything other than making her unhappy.

You could tell from that incident in the principal's office.

If someone can step in front of her and solve the problem for her, she would rather find a place to lie down and not say a word.

Where is the strength in this kind of personality?

Jiang Shu ignored Qiao Qinian's excellent comments about Qiao Manman, letting them go in one ear and out the other.

It was his youngest daughter who seemed to have ulterior motives that made her somewhat uneasy.

She wasn't afraid of Qiao Manman, who openly challenged her, but she was most afraid of the shady villains who secretly challenged her.

Around 10 p.m., Qiao Manman and Qiao Qiqi said goodbye to Lin Wu at the entrance of the residential area.

After Lin Wu left, Qiao Manman put her hands in her pockets and shrank her face into her collar.

She looked at Qiao Qiqi and said, "Wait here for me, I'll go get the car, and you can put your suitcase in it."

Before Qiao Qiqi could nod, Qiao Manman had already turned and walked towards the car.

The gentle expression on her face gradually faded, and her eyes stared at Qiao Manman's back with a slightly cold look.
