118: See, you still don't want your money back.

Second Aunt was stunned for a moment. "What the hell? The leader? Isn't your leader the County Magistrate? How could he possibly come to our family gathering?"

"And even if it were his son, he couldn't invite the County Magistrate to attend a banquet on such an occasion. What do you take the County Magistrate's status for? How could he possibly come to attend a family gathering for someone who just drives for him?"

"The problem is, besides his son inviting the County Magistrate over, nobody else present could possibly invite the County Magistrate! Everyone sitting here knows each other's background. Even though her son is the one driving for the County Magistrate, everyone is rushing to suck up to him."

"If one were familiar enough with the County Magistrate to be able to invite him to make an appearance at a family banquet, how arrogant would that person have to be?"

"Chen Xusheng, what's going on? Why did your leader suddenly come? Is he looking for you?"

Second Aunt whispered to her son; this was the County Magistrate, after all.

Chen Xusheng also scratched his head in confusion, immediately stood up from his seat, walked towards Li Zhiwei, and greeted him enthusiastically.

"Hello, Leader."

The others present saw this scene and one after another cast admiring glances at Second Aunt.

"It really has to be the second family's son who is promising. I'm having a birthday, and he even invited the County Magistrate. That's amazing!"

Old Uncle also chimed in, "Isn't that right? It's so hard for a normal person to even see him once. Your son is really amazing!"

Second Aunt was praised like this, and although she was confused, she started to feel a bit carried away. "It's alright, my son has a good relationship with the County Magistrate."

Chen Kai was stunned. *No way? Li Zhiwei's driver is Chen Xusheng? That's interesting.*

He also slowly stood up and walked in Li Zhiwei's direction.

Second Aunt immediately spoke up to stop him, a hint of reprimand on her face.

"Chen Kai! What are you doing! Don't think that just because you have a little money, you can get to know the leader! He is the County Magistrate! He sees so many entrepreneurs every day! Have some self-awareness!"

Old Uncle also sternly reprimanded, "Big nephew! He is the County Magistrate, where are you going? Even if you have money, you can't befriend him! Just toast him a couple of glasses later!"

Great Aunt was stunned, unable to guess what the smile on Chen Kai's face meant. But since she couldn't afford to offend either side, she chose to remain silent.

Chen Kai smiled faintly, ignored their words, and walked directly towards Li Zhiwei.

Li Zhiwei was stunned for a moment when he saw his driver was also here.

"Xiao Chen, why are you here too?"

The smile on Chen Xusheng's face suddenly froze. The leader didn't come to find him?

He had wanted to show off in front of his relatives! He actually didn't come to find him?

"Leader, I'm eating here. Leader, are you…?"

Li Zhiwei's expression was cold and indifferent. "Remember the rules. Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

"Oh, yes, yes, yes. Leader, it's my loose mouth."

Chen Xusheng apologized hastily and followed behind Li Zhiwei, looking dejected.

Everyone looked at each other, their expressions seeming to say that his leader didn't value him very much after all.

The very next moment, everyone's jaws dropped!

After Li Zhiwei saw Chen Kai, he actually took two quick steps to reach him with a smile, and patted his shoulder!!!

"Little brother, it's really all thanks to you. You've helped me twice now, and I don't even know how to thank you."

"How about this—I see your license plate is Jiang C, so I brought you some of our local specialty, specially supplied tea."

Li Zhiwei handed the red paper bag to Chen Kai with a smile, his attitude warm and intimate—the complete opposite of how he treated Chen Xusheng.

"This… isn't this too polite? Why bring tea?"

Chen Kai smiled and took the paper bag. Given the weight, it likely contained forty thousand yuan along with the tea.

"Hey, you've got that wrong. You've done me two huge favors; what's a little tea?"

"In the future, if you need anything, as long as it's in this county, feel free to come find me for a chat."

Li Zhiwei said with a smile, then waved his hand. "I won't disturb your meal any longer. If there's a chance in the future, I'll treat you to a meal myself."

"Sure, take care."

Chen Kai carried the bag in one hand and waved with the other, watching as Li Zhiwei got into the black A6 and drove away.

Only then did he turn back and sit down in his seat, and he realized that everyone present was dumbfounded.

One by one, they widened their eyes in disbelief, their jaws nearly hitting the table.

Second Aunt was the first to speak. "Chen Kai, you know County Magistrate Li?"

"Yeah, I helped him with a couple of things over the past two days."

Chen Kai shrugged indifferently, placed the paper bag under the table, and picked up the tea from the top of the bag, discovering that there were indeed several bundles of newspapers underneath.

Neatly stacked, square bundles of newspapers.

"Gasp!"

"Brother Chen Kai, this tea of yours is our leader's specially supplied tea, of which he only gets a two-jin quota per year! He doesn't even take it out to entertain guests unless superiors come, yet he actually gave you so much!!!"

Chen Xusheng was dumbfounded when he saw the tea in the bag.

"Is that so? I don't like drinking this stuff, so I'll just let my dad have it."

Chen Kai shrugged indifferently, glancing sideways to see his father sitting straighter than a street lamp, the corners of his mouth unable to stop twitching upward.

Second Aunt was completely dumbfounded. Analyzing Li Zhiwei's words, Chen Kai had done him two huge favors???

And he was indifferent to her own son, yet he actually wanted to give Chen Kai gifts?

"Holy crap!!!"

Chen Kai had more face than a high-ranking official? How powerful must Chen Kai be now? Was he even involved in both political and business circles?!

"Xiao… Xiao Chen, um, were you going to give me a Coke as a gift?"

"Second Aunt loves drinking this. Um… I was just joking earlier. My big nephew gave it to me, so how could I not like it?"

"And it really hit the spot for Second Aunt; I love it so much!"

Chen Kai smiled slightly and placed the Coke on the table, letting her take it herself.

Second Aunt couldn't care about face at this moment; she immediately picked up the Coke and took a few sips, then gave a thumbs-up after finishing. "Anything my big nephew gives is sweet!"

She started to feel a bit afraid of Chen Kai in her heart. What exactly was this kid's status now?!

The shock in Great Aunt's eyes deepened. His car was worth nearly a million, both of his girlfriends were CEOs, he knew the County Magistrate, and he even had the County Magistrate bringing him gifts!

So what if the second family's son drove for the County Magistrate? He was begging Li Zhiwei for favors! But Chen Kai was different. Li Zhiwei was begging Chen Kai for favors!

It was fucking terrifying!

"Oh my god, my big nephew is amazing! I knew he'd be something since he was a kid!"

Old Uncle also chimed in, "Too amazing! It really has to be my big nephew! Old Uncle was just talking too fast earlier, don't take it to heart!"

Chen Kai nodded silently, then pulled eleven bundles of cash from the bag he was carrying and slapped them onto the table with a loud thud.

"I'm returning your money. With interest, that's one hundred and two thousand, but I'm giving you one hundred and ten thousand."

"I wouldn't have been able to pay it back so early if not for you humiliating me in the group chat and at my house every day. Now that I've returned your money, you can be happy."

The next moment, Second Aunt's face turned deathly pale!
