    **Chapter 177: Learning from You—How to Shut People Down**

    As the crowd’s accusations grew more outrageous, Liu Jianjun’s mother couldn’t take it anymore.

    When had she ever wished for her daughter-in-law to die? No matter what, the woman was still carrying the Liu family’s future child in her belly. These people were getting more and more unreasonable.

    “You’re all lying about me! I’m not that kind of person!”

    “Keep talking nonsense, and I’ll have my Jianjun teach you a lesson. My son is an official, you know!”

    “What’s it to you? If you keep spouting nonsense, I’ll tear your mouth shut—just try me!”

    Su He didn’t even need to lift a finger. With just a nudge, Liu Jianjun’s mother immediately revealed her true colors.

    Originally at the center of the storm, Su He now stood back like she was just watching a show.

    The attacks against Liu Jianjun’s mother grew fiercer, with some even suggesting calling the police to report her for spreading lies.

    Initially, Liu Jianjun’s mother had hoped to pressure Su He emotionally into persuading Wen Yuru to return to the Liu family. But this time, things blew up in her face.

    The moment someone mentioned calling the police and escalating the situation, Liu Jianjun’s mother panicked. She immediately pushed through the crowd and scurried away in disgrace.

    Su He watched with amusement. Only after the woman had left did she put on a show of gratitude and address the onlookers:

    “Thank you, everyone. I only meant to do a good deed—who knew it would turn into such a mess?”

    The crowd, taken by her sweet, pretty looks, couldn’t help but comfort her:

    “It’s not your fault. If helping people is wrong, what’s even right anymore?”

    “You should head home now, young lady.”

    “Exactly! She won’t dare bother you again. If she does, just call the police. You did a good deed—they’ll have your back.”

    After reassuring Su He, the crowd gradually dispersed.

    Well, the drama was over. Time to head back.

    Honestly, transmigrating into this world had turned out to be actually pretty fun. Dealing with this era’s nastiest people didn’t even require much effort from Su He.

    As she turned around, she was met with Wen Yuru’s awestruck gaze and the admiring looks of the Wen family.

    Su He: ……

    It seemed—

    Her act was slipping again.

    “Su He, you’re amazing! Oh my god, I love you!” Wen Yuru cried out before waddling toward her, belly and all, making Su He rush to catch her.

    “Big sis, you’re pregnant! Do you have to give me a heart attack like that?” Su He had already been frightened twice today because of her.

    “I—I was just excited,” Wen Yuru stammered, almost crying from happiness.

    “You have no idea how much humiliation I’ve suffered at that nasty old woman’s hands. This is the first time I’ve ever seen her get knocked down a peg like this. It feels so freaking good!” Rarely had Wen Yuru ever been this overjoyed.

    Watching Liu Jianjun’s mother get humiliated was—

    So. Damn. Satisfying. Hahaha!

    Miss Su: ......

    I thought you were a proper lady? Is this your wild side coming out?

    "Miss Su, Yuru really wanted to come out and speak up for you earlier, but we held her back. If she had stepped in, things would have gotten even messier. Besides, I could see you already had everything under control, so we just watched from the sidelines. Hope you don't mind," Mr. Wen said.

    "No problem, it was nothing," Miss Su quickly replied.

    What was a piece of cake for her might as well have been climbing a mountain for Yuru.

    "I'm going to learn from you from now on," Yuru said affectionately, wrapping her arm around Miss Su's.

    "Learn what from me?" Miss Su asked curiously.

    "How to stand up to people!"

    Miss Su: ...... Thanks, but no thanks.

    With her parents and brother nearby, Yuru had completely transformed from her usual gentle and composed self into a playful, carefree version.

    Indeed, having backup really changes a person.

    When they first met, Yuru looked like a walking ghost—so different from how she was now.

    "Well then, feel free to come find me anytime, and I'll teach you how to put people in their place," Miss Su said, hiding a smile.

    "It's a deal!"

    The rest of the Wen family watched silently without comment.

    What good was raising their daughter to be a proper young lady if all she did when trouble arose was roll over and take it?

    Better she learned from Miss Su. Just look at her—within moments she had defused the situation, sending that rural shrew, Comrade Liu’s mother, running off with her tail between her legs.

    If they had stepped in earlier, they might have resorted to force.

    But that would have made them look bad—something that mattered greatly to families like theirs.

    Liu Jianjun and his mother had made spectacles of themselves many times outside their gate, only to be chased away repeatedly.

    Liu had been threatened with losing his job and stopped coming, but his mother still wouldn’t give up.

    They could let them make fools of themselves a little longer. Once the divorce papers and Liu Jianjun’s transfer orders came through, they’d have real cause for tears.

    "You should definitely learn more from Miss Su," Wen Ziyang added, glancing at Miss Su again.

    Honestly, this woman was really impressive.

    He had a feeling that whatever Miss Su turned her hand to in the future, she would succeed.

    "My kids are waiting in the car—I should get going."

    After smiling and saying goodbye to the Wens, Miss Su pulled away in her car.

    "She doesn’t seem like an ordinary family—she can afford a car," Mr. Wen mused aloud.

    "Dad, didn’t I tell you? Her husband is the Deputy Director of the People’s Hospital," Yuru reminded him, adding with a grin.

    "Wow, what a perfect pair—handsome and beautiful. Look at them, then look at you—what kind of guys have you been picking?"

    After dropping this remark, Wen's father went back into the house, leaving Wen Yuru completely confused.

    Why does it always come back to me?

    When Su He got home, Fu Yanju was already making dinner.

    "Hey, Su He, you're back?"

    She immediately greeted Su He upon seeing her.

    "Yeah, Fourth Sister. How's it going? Everything okay?" Su He asked casually.

    Fu Yanju hesitated for a moment before saying, "The renovation is going well. They're working on the bathroom these past couple days. It's just—"

    She hesitated again.

    "Just what?" Su He asked curiously.

    "It's just... they asked if we could cook some extra food for them too."

    As if afraid Su He might misunderstand, Fu Yanju quickly added, "Just some plain rice and vegetables for the father and son. They said the food near the hospital is too expensive. They'll take it out of their pay—we'd just have to make a little extra rice."
