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

Shen Que hesitated before uttering, "That's probably not very likely."

Qiao Manman was also unable to explain to Shen Que the feelings she had sensed.

But there's no other excuse to explain Liang Qi's current situation other than liking him.

Just then, Qiao Manman received a message on her phone.

Upon opening the link, it was a message from Zhu Liangqi asking Jiang Tingyan about the research topic in the group chat.

Zhu Liangqi: [Teacher Jiang, you didn't tell me when this assignment was due.]

Jiang Tingyan replied to her: 【As usual.】

Those two simple words suddenly put invisible pressure on Qiao Manman.

She sadly turned off her phone, and immediately lost her appetite.

Shen Que could tell at a glance that she was preoccupied, and tentatively asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Manman stabbed at her steak with her fork: "It's a research project. They said we'd go to a coffee shop to observe its operations and then make a PowerPoint presentation."

"Isn't this simple?"

Shen Que put down his knife and fork and refilled Qiao Manman's glass of watermelon juice: "Just ask the manager directly."

Qiao Manman was taken aback for a moment: "The thing is, I don't even know the manager. Is it really appropriate to ask him so abruptly?"

"Forehead……"

Shen Que placed the cup in front of Qiao Manman: "If you don't mind, I can take you to a friend's shop, but I probably won't be able to come back tonight, it's quite a distance from the capital."

Qiao Manman stared at Shen Que, her eyes filled with complex emotions.

Shen Que noticed the wariness in Qiao Manman's eyes and quickly said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't do anything to you! I'm really just taking you to do this assignment!"

"If you're worried, I can help you finish this assignment."

Qiao Manman tentatively asked, "...Can't you talk to your friend on the phone?"

She wasn't worried that Shen Que would do anything to her, but she just felt that it wasn't appropriate for a man and a woman to go out alone for the whole night.

To put it bluntly, she and Shen Que weren't close enough to travel to another province together.

Shen Que sighed softly: "To be honest, it's better if you observe some things yourself."

"Homework is crucial to your grade in this class, so you can't be careless about it, right?"

Qiao Manman held the cup: "Let me think about it some more..."

"It's okay, I can wait for your message anytime. If all else fails, I'll make time to go with you to the coffee shops in the city to do some research."

That evening, as soon as Qiao Manman got home, she saw Qiao Qinian sitting on the sofa chatting with Qiao Qiqi.

Upon hearing the sound of Qiao Manman returning, the two stopped talking abruptly.

Immediately afterwards, Qiao Qinian's voice came: "Manman is back. Come over here, Daddy has something to ask you."

Even a fool could guess that it was related to Jiang Shu's restaurant.

When Qiao Manman walked up to Qiao Qinian and saw his unpleasant expression, she became even more certain of her guess.

She glanced at Qiao Qiqi, wondering if she had embellished her words.

Qiao Qinian patted the sofa next to him: "Sit down."

Qiao Manman sat down somewhat nervously, after all, it was the first time she had seen anger on Qiao Qinian's gentle and refined face.

Qiao Qinian asked bluntly, "Have you and Jiang Shu had any conflicts these past few days?"

Qiao Manman: "She slandered me, so of course I'll argue with her."

Qiao Qinian's voice was somewhat cold: "Regarding the restaurant incident, everything points to you. Do you have any way to clear your name?"

Qiao Manman was speechless: "Dad, why should I clear my name? This matter has nothing to do with me at all."

"Also, I'd like to ask Jiang Shu, what did she do by bribing my classmates to point me out in class?"

Qiao Qinian frowned: "What?"

Qiao Manman repeated what she had just said: "Dad, I think only a fool would ask a classmate to do this for them, right?"

Qiao Qinian fell into deep thought and did not answer Qiao Manman's question.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qiqi subtly raised the corners of her lips, a gesture unseen by Qiao Manman and the others.

She didn't say a word more.

Because she knew Qiao Manman's personality all too well.

If she interrupted now, Qiao Manman would say that this matter had nothing to do with her and that she would better keep quiet.

She wouldn't make a fool of herself here.

Qiao Qinian quickly replied, "Your stepmother is on her way back. I'll ask her about this later."

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao.

Jiang Shu hummed a little tune as she opened the door and walked in.

Seeing Qiao Qinian's shoes neatly arranged in the entryway, Jiang Shu excitedly called out, "Honey, I'm home!"

Upon hearing Jiang Shu's voice, Qiao Qinian's expression softened.

Upon seeing this, Qiao Manman's eyes widened in shock!

She had no idea that Qiao Qinian would get any important information out of Jiang Shu later!

"Shushu, I'm in the living room."

Hearing their cheesy answers, Qiao Manman couldn't help but rub her arms to relieve the goosebumps that had appeared on her skin.

Jiang Shu skipped into the living room and saw that Qiao Manman and her sister were also there. Immediately, most of the smile on her face disappeared.

She curled her lip, casually tossed her bag onto the sofa, and then sat down.

He asked, his tone not entirely pleased, "Is this a family meeting?"

Qiao Qinian smiled helplessly and shook his head: "It's not a family meeting, but Shushu, there's something I want to ask..."

Jiang Shu immediately raised her hand to interrupt Qiao Qinian: "Husband, wait a minute, let me guess what you want to ask me."

Qiao Qinian was stunned: "...You tell me."

Jiang Shu stroked his chin and squinted his eyes.

He observed each of their faces with the air of Sherlock Holmes.

Finally, the gaze fell on Qiao Manman.

In an instant, an invisible spark flew between their eyes!

Jiang Shu laughed coldly: "Qiao Manman, you're trying to shift the blame while I'm still away, aren't you?"

Qiao Manman laughed: "Should I praise you for being smart, or should I praise you for being incredibly smart?"

Jiang Shu casually tossed her hair: "As expected, I guessed right!"

"You probably didn't tell your dad much about what you did to my restaurant. You must have told him what I did to you, so you can demand justice from him, right?"

Upon hearing Jiang Shu's words, Qiao Qinian was stunned: "Shushu, did you really do that?"

Qiao Manman chuckled sarcastically, "So, you admit it, right?"

Jiang Shu: "I should take responsibility for my actions. There's nothing wrong with admitting it! I've dealt with you, and that's that. After all, you were the one who started this! Can't I retaliate?"

Qiao Manman suddenly clenched her hands: "Jiang Shu, I never realized you were such a shameless person!"
