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

If that's really the case, then I wish Liang Qi well...

Qiao Manman didn't dare to speculate too much. She urgently asked Jiang Tingyan, "Is it at the funeral home? Let's go now!"

As Qiao Manman spoke, she was about to walk towards the door, while Jiang Tingyan remained seated and spoke without moving.

"Have you thought it through? Are you sure you want to go?"

Qiao Manman abruptly stopped in her tracks, stiffly turning around to ask.

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Tingyan turned off his computer and stood up: "Do you think if you go there now, they'll make you a target of everyone's criticism?"

Qiao Manman frowned: "You mean, if I hadn't gone to help Zhu Liangqi today, the principal wouldn't have known about this, and wouldn't have been so angry that he lost his life."

"So, I'm the one who killed the principal?"

"It wasn't you who killed the principal, it was them."

Jiang Tingyan walked up to Qiao Manman and took his coat: "But people with guilty consciences often try to shift the blame onto others."

Qiao Manman gripped the hem of her clothes tightly.

She didn't want to agree with Jiang Tingyan's words, but every word he said was true.

Judging from Chong Hongyanli's temper and Zhu Liangqi's complaints about her past, she would indeed be considered by them as the culprit who ruined their family harmony.

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Qiao Manman's lips.

So sometimes, people really can't be too enthusiastic and sincere...

Qiao Manman took a deep breath: "I can choose not to attend the funeral, but I want to see Zhu Liangqi. I won't get close, I'll just take a few glances from afar."

"Her situation must be even more agonizing now."

Jiang Tingyan nodded: "Yes, I respect your decision."

-

Inside the funeral home.

Many people came to pay their respects to Pei Hongye, most of whom were teachers and students from the school.

Pei Hongye has a mild temper and is friendly to others, so he has made many friends.

Many people stood in the mourning hall, queuing up to offer incense one by one.

Qiao Manman could see the situation inside the mourning hall from a distance.

Zhu Liangqi stood at the door dressed in all black, without even a mourning rope, mourning clothes, or a white headscarf.

She stood there all alone, with no one to talk to.

"She must have been kicked out," Jiang Tingyan said, glancing at Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman let out a tight "hmm" with a heavy feeling in her chest: "I wonder how Zhu Liangqi will get through the rest of her days..."

"Perhaps I really shouldn't have helped her today."

"You don't need to blame yourself so much."

Jiang Tingyan had just finished speaking when someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

He turned around and saw Teacher Yu from the same office standing in front of him. Jiang Tingyan glanced at his clothes with displeasure.

Teacher Yu, oblivious to Jiang Tingyan's expression, asked, "Teacher Jiang, what are you doing standing here? Why don't you go over and offer your condolences?"

Jiang Tingyan: "Let's go later."

Teacher Yu said "Oh," and then called out, "Come quick, Teacher Jiang is here too!"

Jiang Tingyan's expression visibly darkened.

The mourning hall, not far from them, was also drawn to many eyes by Teacher Yu's loud voice.

Zhu Liangqi also turned around and met Qiao Manman's gaze.

The first second he frowned, and the second second disgust and hatred surfaced in his eyes.

Qiao Manman's heart skipped a beat.

Just as Jiang Tingyan said, Zhu Liangqi had indeed come to dislike her.

Qiao Manman lowered her eyes, avoiding Zhu Liangqi's gaze, and said to Jiang Tingyan in a hoarse voice, "Let's go."

Jiang Tingyan followed Qiao Manman's gaze and then nodded with an "Mm".

When Teacher Yu saw Jiang Tingyan about to leave, she quickly chased after him and asked, "Teacher Jiang, aren't you going to stay and pay your respects?"

"The principal is so good to you, aren't you going to stay and offer incense before you leave?"

Jiang Tingyan scoffed and looked at him coldly: "How do you know whether I slept with her or not?"

In a single sentence, Jiang Tingyan completely fooled Teacher Yu, leaving her speechless.

The two female teachers walked up to Teacher Yu and watched blankly as Jiang Tingyan left with Qiao Manman.

Upon arriving at the parking lot, Qiao Manman had just gotten into her car when she received a message from Zhu Liangqi.

Zhu Liangqi: [Let's meet up. Where are you?]

The simple words, each syllable exuding coldness, were chilling.

Qiao Manman gripped her phone tightly, took a deep breath, and replied.

【PARKING LOT.】

Zhu Liangqi: [Come here now.]

Qiao Manman looked at Jiang Tingyan: "Liang Qi is here. She said she wants to meet me. Wait here for me for a while."

Jiang Tingyan pondered for a moment.

Thinking that Qiao Manman might not choose to listen to him, he replied, "You can go. Pick a place, and I'll protect you from the nearest spot."

Qiao Manman was taken aback. "Aren't you overthinking this?"

Jiang Tingyan: "She's been in a suppressed environment for a long time, and now she's lost her last straw. Do you think she might do something unpredictable?"

Thinking of Zhu Liangqi's sudden message and Jiang Tingyan's words, Qiao Manman felt inexplicably uneasy.

She nodded and said, "Okay, I'll stand here and try my best not to provoke her."

The two sat quietly in the car for less than three minutes when Zhu Liangqi appeared in the parking lot.

Qiao Manman and Jiang Tingyan exchanged a glance, then got out of the car together.

Jiang Tingyan stood at the back of the car, while Qiao Manman stood beside the car and called out to Zhu Liangqi.

"Liang Qi, I'm here."

Upon hearing the sound, Zhu Liangqi turned around and saw Qiao Manman.

She paused for a few seconds before walking up to Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman kept some distance from her before taking a closer look at Zhu Liangqi.

Aside from the lingering handprint on her face, all that remained was a profound weariness.

With her empty, lifeless eyes, she asked Qiao Manman, "I want to know how you found out I was humiliated."

Qiao Manman: "I did receive your call, but I think you must have accidentally knocked it out."

Zhu Liangqi laughed, a laugh tinged with self-mockery and indifference.

Ultimately, the problem lies with myself.

Qiao Manman stared at her pale face, her emotions a complex mix.

Even if she wasn't Xiao Jiangshu, she was still a person of flesh and blood.

When something like this happens, especially since they are friends, it's quite unexpected.

How could she bear to see her suffer in such a situation?

Qiao Manman opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Zhu Liangqi suddenly took a deep breath and exhaled shakily.

"You see, I'm such a filthy person."

Zhu Liangqi looked at the yellowish streetlights ahead, her eyes filled with mist and confusion.

"When I was in my first year of high school, my cousin had already started to hurt me. I was humiliated for three and a half years and dared not utter a word."

"Because I want to go to school, I want to finish my studies and escape from them, to say goodbye to this city completely."

"But now it seems that my dream is impossible to realize, and I will have problems with even housing and food."

Qiao Manman: "Liang Qi, I can..."

"What can you do?"

Zhu Liangqi quickly interrupted Qiao Manman: "Help me out? Help me get through this? Are you pitying me?"

Zhu Liangqi's words inexplicably made Qiao Manman feel that she was Xiao Jiangshu.

Xiao Jiangshu's inherent toughness never made anyone pity her in the slightest.

So what if you have no parents? So what if you have no money?

She, Xiao Jiangshu, can always be herself.

But Qiao Manman now understood that Zhu Liangqi was not Xiao Jiangshu.

She is not someone who doesn't fight back against repeated oppression.

Xiaojiang Shu is someone who will seize any opportunity to protect herself.

Zhu Liangqi's question left Qiao Manman at a loss for words.

Zhu Liangqi continued, "The problem initially arose with me, but Qiao Manman, are you really without any fault?"

Qiao Manman frowned slightly: "Liang Qi, you think my good intentions backfired, causing your uncle to die as well, is that right?"

"Isn't that right?!"

Zhu Liangqi suddenly retorted loudly, "If it weren't for you, I could have continued to endure it. At least I would have a place to live! At least I would have food to eat!"

"I had a loving and caring uncle, and now because of you, I've lost all of that!"

Qiao Manman felt inexplicably resentful, but she couldn't vent it at all!

She wanted to save Zhu Liangqi, but she hadn't really considered Zhu Liangqi's future situation.

This was the only wrong step she took...

Qiao Manman felt extremely suffocated and stood there silently with her lips tightly pressed together.

In the end, it was all her fault.

Zhu Liangqi sneered repeatedly upon seeing her like this.

"Qiao Manman, from now on, we are no longer friends. I hope that from now on, we will keep to ourselves."

After saying these words, Zhu Liangqi turned and walked into the funeral home.

He turned away resolutely, without even looking back once.

Qiao Manman felt a strong soreness in her nose, and lowered her eyes, letting the tears obscure her vision.

Jiang Tingyan stood at the back of the car, watching everything with a deep and somber gaze.

He knew that at this point, nothing he said would make a difference.

Only when Qiao Manman herself recognizes this is the reality of human nature.

Meanwhile, at the Qiao family villa.

Qiao Qiqi received a message and a photo from an unknown number.

After clicking in, she saw Qiao Manman standing in the parking lot, with a girl standing in front of her.

She knew that girl; she was Zhu Liangqi, Qiao Manman's good friend.

However, the two did not seem to be as friendly as usual.

After closing the photo, Qiao Qiqi saw the message the other party had sent.

The note said that Qiao Manman kindly helped her classmate, but her classmate thought she was meddling in other people's business.

The other party even explained the specifics of the matter very clearly.

Qiao Qiqi's eyes widened in surprise when she saw the truth of the matter.

Qiao Manman's classmate has been humiliated by her cousin for years?!

Such important information would surely cause a huge splash no matter where it is sent, right?

Qiao Qiqi curiously sent the other person a message: 【Who are you?】

The other party quickly replied: "Miss, I was sent by President Lin to help you. I'm keeping an eye on Miss Qiao, and another person is keeping an eye on President Jiang Shu. We'll send you a message if there's anything going on between them."

Qiao Qiqi was overjoyed and immediately called Lin Wu.

Lin Wu answered the call, and Qiao Qiqi whispered, "Mom, thank you for helping me!"
