Unfortunately, even though Ye Chuyi had her scores lowered, Meng Li still couldn't surpass her.
She didn't know whether the idea to drug the food was Meng Li's own or if it involved Wen Nianyou's instigation, but either way, both individuals were nothing but trouble.
Once bitten, twice shy.
Ye Chuyi couldn't trust Meng Li's character; her presence in this restaurant surely harbored some ulterior motive, so anything she served or poured could be problematic.
Of course, she didn't warn Sheng Tingyuan that the food might be sabotaged. If she said, "Sheng Tingyuan, the food might be drugged," he might think she was suffering from some sort of persecution complex.
If it turned out there was nothing wrong with the food, she would be seen as the villain making malicious conjectures, while Meng Li could play the innocent damsel.
Since Meng Li was clearly targeting Sheng Tingyuan and wouldn't dare kill him outright, this time she'd let him be Meng Li's guinea pig.
