“But…Ah Li’s family is very poor. If she stops being an artist, what will she do? Can she really become a sanitation worker like her mother? That involves picking up trash…”

Cui Xueling's words made Jing Li somewhat annoyed.

Whether I'm poor or not, and what I do for a living, is none of your business. Did I eat your rice?

"Xue Ling, do you look down on garbage collectors? Looking down on people is not the style of a fairy. After all, if it weren't for sanitation workers, the earth you depend on for survival would have become a garbage dump long ago."

A mocking smile played on Jing Li's lips as she looked at Cui Xueling with a probing gaze.

Her face flushed red and then turned pale. Cui Xueling hurriedly waved her hands in denial, "No... that's not what I meant..."

"So what do you mean?"

The latter was aggressive, while the former trembled as if it had been bullied.

"Enough! Xue Ling didn't mean that at all. You're just trying to find fault with her. She was clearly just worried about you out of kindness. Not only are you ungrateful, but you're also deliberately misinterpreting her words. What are you up to!"

Overwhelmed by protectiveness, Xiao Qi pulled Cui Xueling into his arms, his tone accusatory, as if Jing Li had committed some heinous crime.

"Don't you have any idea what I'm up to? Didn't you already accuse me of something?"

With a sneer, Jing Li retorted.

"you……"

Xiao Qi was furious. When did this woman become so sharp-tongued? She was secretly jealous of him. Wasn't she always racking her brains to figure out how to flatter and seduce them?

At the crucial moment, Jing Li's phone rang, easing the tense atmosphere in the elevator.

"Hello, I'm Jing Li."

"Hello Ms. Jing, a hospital has contacted us saying they have found a suitable kidney for your mother. The total cost of the surgery and subsequent treatment will be approximately 800,000 yuan. If there are no problems, please come to the hospital as soon as possible to pay the fees!"

Eight hundred thousand?

The money itself is a small amount, but given the original owner's current financial situation, he might not be able to afford it.

"Okay, I understand. I'll come over as soon as possible."

Jing Li frowned, hung up the phone, and just then the elevator arrived at the first floor.

She hesitated, glancing at the two of them as if she wanted to say something but then stopped herself.

"Tch, I thought she'd changed her ways, but it turns out she's still the same. Xue Ling, you can't be stupid enough to lend her money again!"

With disdain in his eyes, Xiao Qi sneered.

"You're borrowing money again... It's not that I don't trust you..."

Looking troubled, Cui Xueling hesitated to speak.

Jing Li rolled her eyes. These two drama queens are overthinking things.

Borrow money?

Those two words don't exist in her dictionary.

"You two are really putting on a show. If you enjoy acting, go ahead, I don't mind. But I want to say, I'm in a hurry, could you move aside a step? You're blocking my way!"

The two men froze, realizing they were blocking the way, and could only resentfully make way.

Just as Jing Li was about to step out of the elevator, a huge wave of dizziness washed over her, followed by a flood of memories about the original owner of the body.

Her head throbbed with pain from the memory, her face turned ashen, and her body swayed precariously.

Cui Xueling, who was standing nearby, clearly saw that she was not feeling well, and hurriedly took a step back. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was trying to scam someone. But she said some very caring words, "Ali, are you alright...? Did your low blood sugar flare up again? I told you not to skimp on breakfast money..."

"Shut up!"

Jing Li, who was in a very bad state, coldly rebuked him, her face showing signs of an impending storm.
