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

Qiao Manman had just finished working on her second slide, stretched, and asked, "How much longer until we get there?"

Shen Que: "I'll be home in fifteen minutes."

Qiao Manman nodded, saved the document, and shut down her computer.

She turned her stiff neck and looked at the scenery rushing past outside the car: "Actually, this is not really torturing myself. I have two friends whose lives are really torturing."

Shen Que cast a curious glance at him: "Looks like there's a story behind this."

Qiao Manman suddenly missed Xiao Jiangshu. Their monthly salary was only about four thousand, while their monthly rent was one thousand five.

Previously, the two of them shared the rent and paid the bills together. Now, will all the pressure fall on Xiao Jiangshu alone?

So, will she move back to her old, run-down apartment?

Qiao Manman said with some sadness, "They have no parents and grew up in an orphanage. They also want to change their fate through education, but the high tuition fees for university make them unable to pursue their dreams."

"University tuition is the only option?" Shen Que was taken aback. "Don't they work part-time?"

Qiao Manman forced a bitter smile: "How could there be none? It's just that the meager salary is barely enough to make ends meet."

Hearing this, Shen Que felt inexplicably suffocated.

"So how are your two friends doing now? Are they still having such a hard time?"

Qiao Manman: "There has been some improvement, but it's really not much better. The two of them depended on each other for survival, but suddenly one of them passed away, leaving the other to face the cruel world in bewilderment."

"Ah...this..."

Shen Que suddenly didn't know how to respond to Qiao Manman's words.

He thought it was something funny, or some kind of gossip.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a tragedy...

He has such a strong sense of empathy that sometimes he really can't bear to hear stories of human suffering...

Qiao Manman sighed softly and looked up at the full moon in the sky.

The bright moonlight was so clear that there was no indication that she lived in a false world.

So, in this absurd world, are the moons she and Xiao Jiangshu see the same one?

Shen Que escorted Qiao Manman to her doorstep, then turned around and said, "Manman, remember to get some rest. I'll pick you up for school tomorrow morning."

Qiao Manman did not refuse and nodded in agreement.

She got out of the car and walked into the villa, but the door was suddenly opened and a familiar figure walked out.

Qiao Manman and Tong Yan met eyes, and surprise flashed in both of their eyes.

"Full?"

What are you doing here?

The two said in unison, with a childlike smile, "I've come to visit Aunt Jiang."

Qiao Manman was somewhat surprised, but she quickly remembered what Tong Yan had said before.

She and Jiang Tingyan must have been childhood sweethearts.

Qiao Manman glanced at the villa: "Jiang Tingyan didn't come with you?"

Tong Yan: "Speaking of this, I'd like to chat with you for a bit. Is it convenient? How about we grab a drink?"

Qiao Manman hesitated, but Tong Yan said, "If you're worried about not being able to get up tomorrow morning, you can chat in the car."

"Let's talk in the car."

The two got into Tong Yan's car and sat down. Tong Yan handed her a bottle of water and got straight to the point.

"Ayan has been in a bad mood ever since you left with Shen Que today."

Qiao Manman was silent for a few seconds: "Why are you telling me this? Do you want me to coax him?"

Tong Yan: "It's not that. I was thinking, even if you don't like Ayan, could you at least be a little nicer to him?"

"A little... better??"

Qiao Manman was somewhat confused. She took a breath and asked, "You should know Jiang Tingyan's feelings for me."

"Yes, that's why I'm telling you this."

"You like Jiang Tingyan, don't you?"

Tong Yan smiled slightly: "Is it that obvious?"

Qiao Manman said helplessly, "They even followed me to school, how could it not be obvious? But I want to ask you, aren't you afraid that if I treat him well enough, I'll just steal him away from you?"

"I already know very well that Ayan likes you. If you two can be together, I won't do anything about it. I just hope that you can treat Ayan well."

This was the first time Qiao Manman had ever seen someone so generous as to give up the person they liked.

Qiao Manman: "I'm sorry I can't promise you, but my attitude towards Jiang Tingyan will still be based on my current thinking."

"Besides, don't you think it would be even crueler if I were nice to him but didn't reciprocate his feelings?"

Tong Yan: "I have thought about this, but given the current situation, this is the only way I can trouble you."

Qiao Manman sighed: "Don't you think that wanting others to do the same thing as you just because you like it is a form of 'coercion'?"

"I'm very protective of my own."

With a childlike smile, she said gently, "I'm the kind of person who can't bear to see the people I like sad."

"You're so generous, letting another woman cherish him."

"His happiness is my happiness, because I've seen him suffer far too much."

Qiao Manman: "..."

Sure enough, women like that only exist in books.

However, she had never seen this name in the book. Did the world really change because of her appearance?

Qiao Manman: "Everyone has their share of hardship. You know his suffering, but do you know that I've also endured the same hardships?"

Tong Yan looked at Qiao Manman in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Qiao Manman: "I have a mother, but it's like I don't have one. All my mother's attention is on my younger sister. I didn't have much parental companionship growing up."

This time, Tong Yan remained silent.

Neither of them spoke, and the car remained silent for several minutes before Tong Yan finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, I don't know anything about your past. My suggestion was a bit too simplistic."

Qiao Manman didn't care; these were all the original owner's past experiences.

If we were to talk about her past, it would be several times worse than what the original owner of this body experienced.

Qiao Manman shrugged: "So, you have to handle your own feelings and your own life."

Tong Yan nodded, and their conversation came to an end.

Just as Qiao Manman was about to open the car door and get out, Tong Yan suddenly called out to her, "Um, can I add you as a contact?"

Qiao Manman hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to exchange contact information with Tong Yan.

She closed the car door and left, and Tong Yan took a picture of her going home and showed it to Jiang Tingyan.

Tong Yan: [She's safely home, don't worry.]

The phone rang, and Jiang Tingyan quickly picked it up and glanced at it.

Upon seeing that the message wasn't from Qiao Manman, his dark eyes dimmed slightly.

When he opened Tong Yan's message and saw Qiao Manman returning home, his expression improved somewhat.

Jiang Tingyan: [You've gone to see my mother.]

Tong Yan: [To be precise, I stayed until this late to see if Qiao Manman would be back before 10 PM.]
