Best friends transmigrated into the roles of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law? This script is wrong
Chapter 9 Stepsister's Reaction
Qiao Manman shifted her gaze from the large screen to Jiang Shu's face.
She feigned surprise and covered her mouth, saying, "Wow, it was just a small win. You don't need to praise me so much, thank you."
Jiang Shu was so angry at Qiao Manman's smug attitude that her face turned pale.
"Qiao Manman, do you think you can beat me the second time?"
Jiang Shu gave a heavy "humph": "One stroke of good luck doesn't mean you'll always be lucky."
Qiao Manman pouted, pretending to think hard: "Then... I'll wait and see?"
The two women simultaneously suppressed their smiles, and their argument was only broken when Qiao Qinian returned.
With only one minute left, someone suddenly shouted something from the direction of the doorway.
"Dr. Jiang?!"
The previously quiet venue was broken, and almost everyone turned to look in the direction of the sound.
Jiang Shu was the happiest to see Jiang Tingyan appear.
She stood up excitedly, almost blurting out the word "son".
But seeing so many people watching, she could only nod to Jiang Tingyan and gracefully sit back down.
For a fleeting moment, Jiang Tingyan seemed to see a glimpse of Jiang Shu's past self in him.
Calm, composed, and never loses his composure because of anything.
In a daze, he heard the voice of the young man who had just called him again.
"Dr. Jiang! I saw you at school! You're my idol! And we went to the same school! I just returned from studying abroad too!"
Hearing the other party's excited words, Jiang Tingyan frowned slightly.
Just then, music started playing on stage, and Jiang Tingyan seized the opportunity to say, "Let's talk again when you have time."
After saying that, Jiang Tingyan walked towards Qiao Manman's direction.
As he drew closer, Qiao Manman's pupils gradually contracted.
Is this guy planning to cause trouble for her here?!
Just as Jiang Tingyan, with his cold and handsome face, was about to reach her, Qiao Manman suddenly turned around and pretended not to recognize him.
Unexpectedly, the expected thing did not happen, but a slight movement came from the sofa behind me.
Qiao Manman's body tensed up involuntarily.
Did this person sit down behind her?
Qiao Qinian turned around and greeted Jiang Tingyan: "Tingyan, you've finally arrived."
Jiang Tingyan nodded politely to him, then glanced at Qiao Manman.
My stepsister's reaction suggests she doesn't really want to see me.
Qiao Manman: "..."
When did she show that intention?!
Qiao Qinian's gaze swept back and forth between the two of them: "Manman, is there some misunderstanding between you and your brother?"
Qiao Manman turned her head stiffly, forcing a smile at Qiao Qinian: "Dad, how could that be? My brother and I have a great relationship!"
As Qiao Manman stared into Jiang Tingyan's sharp eyes, she spoke the last three words with a guilty conscience.
Qiao Qinian turned to look at Jiang Tingyan: "Tingyan, Manman said you two have a very good relationship, is that true?"
Jiang Tingyan stared intently at Qiao Manman: "Of course...it's true, after all, we're such good friends..."
"dad!!"
Upon hearing Jiang Tingyan say something inappropriate, Qiao Manman quickly interrupted him.
"Dad, the items have arrived at the auction!! Look!"
Afraid that Qiao Qinian wouldn't be able to get his attention back, Qiao Manman reached out and grabbed Qiao Qinian's arm, leading him to look at the auction items.
However, Jiang Tingyan couldn't help but squint his eyes when Qiao Manman hugged Qiao Qinian.
The first item was brought out, and a beautiful female auctioneer stood on the stage to explain it.
What was presented was a decanter. Under the spotlight at the base, the crystal-cut decanter emitted a light purple glow, making it exquisitely beautiful.
There are three sets of this decanter that were designed and made at the same time, each with a unique shimmering design, making them very collectible.
It was put up for auction as a collectible, with a starting price of 350,000.
Upon seeing this decanter, Qiao Manman immediately recalled scenes from the novel.
Qiao Qinian really likes this decanter. He already owns one set. Now he's bidding on another set, and once he finds another one, he'll have the whole set.
Qiao Manman was very happy when he spent a lot of money to buy it.
As a result, Qiao Manman smashed the decanter after arguing with Jiang Shu, and Qiao Qinian's attitude clearly shifted towards Jiang Shu.
When the auctioneer announced the price, Jiang Shu raised his paddle first: "Five hundred thousand."
Following them, three more people held up signs.
The price reached 800,000.
Jiang Shu raised his paddle again: "Nine hundred thousand."
Once the price reached this level, no one dared to bid any lower.
The auctioneer stood on the stage and asked around, but no one raised the bid.
Jiang Shu couldn't help but smugly sidle up to Qiao Qinian to claim credit.
"Honey, I know you have a set of these items in your collection. I specially took a picture of this set and gave it to you to keep as a treasure."
Listening to Jiang Shu's confident words, Qiao Manman raised her paddle as the auctioneer struck the second gavel: "One million two hundred thousand."
As soon as Qiao Manman raised the price, everyone in the room began to whisper among themselves.
"The previous two highest bids were only a little over one million, but this time someone actually bid one million two hundred thousand?"
"Miss Qiao, who doesn't know that the Qiao family is incredibly wealthy? One million two hundred thousand is probably just a hundred and twenty yuan to them."
Hearing the whispers behind her, Qiao Manman turned around and said something to them.
"The price of the gift I gave to my father is not as much as the sentiment I have for him."
Qiao Manman shut those middle-aged women up with just one sentence.
Qiao Qinian stared blankly at his daughter, a warm current flowing through his chest.
His daughter seemed to have grown up overnight.
Just as the auctioneer was about to ask if anyone would continue bidding, Jiang Tingyan picked up the paddle next to him and raised it.
"One million five hundred thousand."
Qiao Manman froze, then turned sharply to look at Jiang Tingyan, whose face remained calm.
Qiao Manman's lips twitched involuntarily.
She never expected that this guy would unwittingly put her on a show!
Why would he buy this?!
Is it simply that I have a grudge against her?
At this moment, not only was Qiao Manman complaining in her heart, but Jiang Shu, who was sitting next to Qiao Qinian, also felt a pang of heartache!
She can buy things; she can spend money on her husband!
But she really wasn't willing to spend a lot of money on her husband!
She prefers saving money to spending it!
Unexpectedly, her son actually went head-to-head with Qiao Manman and got a total of 1.5 million!
Why is that?!
This scene doesn't appear in the novel at all!
Jiang Shu turned his head slightly and glanced at Jiang Tingyan a few times.
To her dismay, Jiang Tingyan didn't seem to be planning to take a picture and give it to Qiao Qinian.
Could it be that it's meant to be given to Qiao Manman, so that she can use it to curry favor?
The two men stared at Jiang Tingyan from the left and right.
Jiang Tingyan ignored their gazes and listened attentively as the auctioneer struck the gavel.
"One million six hundred thousand!"
Qiao Manman raised her paddle in displeasure and raised the price again.
"One million eight hundred thousand."
Jiang Tingyan added again in a calm tone.
