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

An embarrassed look flashed across Zhu Liangqi's face.

She turned her head away and asked softly, "You saw everything...?"

Shen Que smiled and said, "Yes, I saw it all. You're very capable. Our worries were unnecessary."

Zhu Liangqi grasped the key point: "You guys?"

Shen Que quickly shook his head: "No, no, I misspoke, I meant myself."

Zhu Liangqi glanced subconsciously at the stairwell where Shen Que had come out, and after thinking for a few seconds, she asked.

"Shen, are you really alone?"

Shen Que shrugged: "Otherwise what? But I'm a little curious, why aren't you and Manman together? Didn't you two always eat together before?"

Hearing Shen Que mention Qiao Manman, Zhu Liangqi finally dispelled her doubts.

"Hmm..." she pondered, "I've already broken off all contact with her. There's no need for her to get involved with me and cause me any trouble."

Qiao Manman, who was in the hallway, heard Zhu Liangqi's words clearly.

She frowned slightly. Could this be Zhu Liangqi's original intention in breaking off their friendship?

But how did she guess the series of events that would follow?

Or……

Did Zhu Liangqi say these words deliberately in front of Shen Que?

Not only Qiao Manman, but even Shen Que was surprised by Zhu Liangqi's words.

How come it differs from what Manman said?

Shen Que feigned surprise and asked, "Oh? When did this happen?"

Zhu Liangqi stared at Shen Que's face, and seeing that he really didn't know anything, she continued speaking.

"After my story was exposed online, I broke off all contact with Manman."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Manman felt a chill run down her spine.

Why did Zhu Liangqi lie?

They had already broken up before the incident was exposed online, so why say it happened afterward?

Shen Que was also confused, and asked again, "Really? Manman never told me about this..."

Zhu Liangqi smiled faintly: "It's better not to talk about it, after all, it's not something to be proud of."

Shen Que stared at Zhu Liangqi with a solemn expression. Given Qiao Manman's personality, she would never stoop to lying.

Why did Zhu Liangqi say that?

Is there some purpose behind it?

Shen Que didn't want to ask any more questions, but he couldn't shake off his doubts.

He could only lie and set a trap: "Okay, since I don't have anything to do with you, I'll leave first. I'll also ask Qiao Manman to have lunch with me and find out what's going on."

Upon hearing that Shen Que was going to find Qiao Manman, Zhu Liangqi's expression subtly changed.

Her gaze darkened slightly as she asked, "Shen, whatever answer you hear from Manman, please give me some trust, okay?"

Shen Que felt a clear sense of disappointment towards Zhu Liangqi, but he had not yet shown it on his face.

He forced a smile and said, "Okay, I understand."

After Shen Que left, Zhu Liangqi also left.

Qiao Manman gazed in the direction the two had left, a self-deprecating smile playing on her lips.

It seems she underestimated human nature...

After Qiao Manman got into Shen Que's car, the two headed straight for their destination, dinner, without saying a word.

Shen could see the indifference in Qiao Manman's eyes, so he didn't know what to say.

Qiao Manman kept replaying Zhu Liangqi's words in her mind.

This is no different from stabbing a sharp knife into her heart...

After a long silence, Shen Que finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked, "Manman, you... don't be too sad..."

Qiao Manman's eyebrows twitched slightly: "It would be a lie to say I'm not sad, but I won't let myself be sad for too long."

Shen Que: "Oh?"

Qiao Manman forced a smile, saying insincerely, "Because Zhu Liangqi isn't good enough for him..."

Shen Que pursed his lips, unsure how to respond to Qiao Manman's words.

Qiao Manman took a deep breath and said to Shen Que, "Could I borrow your phone for a moment?"

Shen Que deftly picked up his phone, unlocked it, and handed it to Qiao Manman.

Qiao Manman: "Can I send Zhu Liangqi a few messages?"

"It's okay, send it anywhere."

Qiao Manman found Zhu Liangqi's chat window and sent a message: [What Qiao Manman told you is different. She said that you two had a falling out on the first day she helped you, and that your relationship completely broke down on the day your uncle passed away.]

After Qiao Manman arrived at the restaurant and ordered her food, she received Zhu Liangqi's reply.

Zhu Liangqi: [Shen, I remember telling you before I left that I asked you to trust me.]

Qiao Manman asked: "Are you saying that Qiao Manman is lying?"

Zhu Liangqi: [Whether she lied or not, Manman knows better than I do. I can guarantee that I didn't lie.]

Seeing Zhu Liangqi's reply, Qiao Manman felt even colder.

It seems that Zhu Liangqi is adamant that there are no witnesses or physical evidence, which is why she made this statement.

Zhu Liangqi, oh Zhu Liangqi...

She, Qiao Manman, really misjudged him...

Qiao Manman pondered for a while, then continued editing, but hesitated before typing out three words. Zhu Liangqi replied with another sentence.

Zhu Liangqi: [Shen, you can think of it this way: I don't think I need to let go of such a wealthy and powerful friend, do I?]

Upon seeing this sentence, Qiao Manman couldn't help but chuckle.

If she were Shen Que, unaware of these events, she would probably also find Zhu Liangqi's words very reasonable.

She was thinking of Qiao Manman entirely.

She made this friend from the bottom of her heart.

The more this happened, the more Qiao Manman realized that she had been deceived by Zhu Liangqi's appearance.

How could someone who can survive in that kind of environment be an ordinary person?

When she gets ruthless, even she can't handle it.

Qiao Manman backed down and returned the phone to Shen Que.

Shen Que glanced at their chat history and his jaw nearly dropped to the floor in shock.

He opened his eyes wide and said, "Is Zhu Liangqi trying to manipulate people's hearts?"

Qiao Manman forked a piece of beef, stuffed it into her mouth, and took two big bites: "I guess so."

Shen Que: "What good does she get out of doing this? Won't she feel awkward when she sees you next time?"

Qiao Manman lowered her eyes and stared at the drink in her glass, lost in thought.

After a long pause, she finally uttered a sentence: "A shameless person is invincible." She wouldn't feel embarrassed; she would only think that she had done nothing wrong.

"As for the benefits... maybe it's to gain favor with you."

"I??"

Shen Que pointed to his nose, looking completely bewildered: "What's the point of trying to win my favor?"

Qiao Manman stopped cutting her steak and looked at Shen Que, asking, "Do you remember the 20,000 yuan I asked you to deliver that day?"

"Of course I remember!"

"Your actions were like a savior to Zhu Liangqi at that time."

Shen Que understood: "So, because of this action, Zhu Liangqi has fallen for me??"

Qiao Manman smiled somewhat helplessly: "I can't think of any other reason besides this."
