"What does this have to do with me?" Feng Qingxue's cold face firmly rejected Wang Fengmei's plea once more, her lips hinting at scorn, "Everything has a cause and an effect. Since you made the choices you did back then, you must bear the consequences today. I don't know what happened to Comrade Zhao, after all, I'm just a countrywoman who lives in the city committee's residence, but I do know that the discipline commission would never wrong a good person. You'd be better off waiting at home for the results of the commission's investigation and accepting the outcomes openly."
She despised this sort of behavior where you were looked down upon until they needed you, then suddenly you were implored for assistance. Why in the first place, if they knew what would come of this? Is it not good to be virtuous and genuine in life? It's ridiculous to expect to escape punishment without remorse once a wrongdoing has come to light.
