The Arrogant Young Master Became Obedient After Being BulliedChapter 1

“Chen Ju, over here!” At the lively banquet, a warm shout attracted everyone’s attention.

Standing at the entrance was a man dressed plainly, wearing a white shirt, gray trousers, and carrying a bulging black schoolbag on his shoulders. The condition of the schoolbag strap indicated that it had a lifespan of at least two years. KNniOZ

Chen Ju clenched his bag tightly, lowering his head. His eyes only dared stare at his own feet. The sneakers on his feet were the same as his schoolbag. They had been worn for many years. The tips were cracked in some places.

Fortunately, those gazes only lingered for a moment before moving away. Li Qi, wearing a suit and leather shoes, stepped forward, patted Chen Ju’s shoulder, and said with a smile: “Long time no see. Why did you change your appearance? I remember you used to dye your hair yellow and wear earrings. You were so cool!”

Chen Ju was in high school when he went through a rebellious period. His parents were busy with their business and no one cared about him. He could play however he wanted, often followed by a large group of younger brothers, displaying his dominance.

“Re… Really? I don’t remember.” Chen Ju pushed his black-framed glasses awkwardly, wanting to leave this place more than once. He hadn’t seen so many people in years. Ganh7b

If it weren’t for Li Qi mentioning that name on the phone, Chen Ju would have just casually agreed, and then forgotten about it.

Li Qi suddenly looked at the door with bright eyes, and happily walked past Chen Ju to greet someone.

“Zhou Ge! Bro, I thought you wouldn’t have time to come today! I heard that you are going to take over your father’s company. If you are rich, don’t forget our brotherhood ah!”

Just hearing that one word, Chen Ju’s heart beat violently without knowing if it was him. He hurriedly clenched his fists against his chest, and quickly walked away from the entrance.

Looking at the door, many people were there. All of them greeted Jiang Zhou. The crowd encircled him so tightly that he could not be seen at all.

Chen Ju tiptoed, peeked into the crowd, trying various angles, and finally saw Jiang Zhou.

At the moment he saw Jiang Zhou, Chen Ju felt a tingling sensation in his nose, and his eye sockets became hot for no reason.

Jiang Zhou was still handsome, wearing a suit, combing his hair meticulously. He had shed his youthful awkwardness, and exuded a mature charm. wIv cB

It seemed that the teenager who used to sleep soundly at the desk was no longer there.

The eyelashes were wet and curled into the eyes, causing an itchy sensation. Chen Ju wiped it with his sleeves, and upon opening his eyes again, he suddenly met Jiang Zhou’s gaze.

The man’s eyes were dark and gloomy, like the surface of a calm sea, hiding turbulent emotions.

This version of Jiang Zhou was strange, like a beast lurking in the dark night. ch2sl6

Chen Ju was frightened and wanted to step back. But he bumped into the wine glasses piled up behind him. With a loud crash, the glasses shattered, and red liquid spilled onto Chen Ju’s white shirt. He stood there helplessly, his eyes filled with panic.

Everyone’s eyes turned to this side, including Jiang Zhou. Chen Ju’s cheeks turned red, and he wished he could leave this place immediately.

Chen Ju was not born with a stutter. After that incident, he became like this. It was only in the last year that he gradually improved and was able to speak short sentences.

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.

He didn’t dare raise his head or stare at Jiang Zhou again. In this state, he felt like a clown standing in the center⁷ of the stage to be made fun of by others, which was sad and embarrassing.

If he knew things would turn out like this, he would not have stepped through that door. Even if he never saw Jiang Zhou for the rest of his life, it would be a thousand times better than being seen by Jiang Zhou in such a mess. QctTuO

“Why talk about money at a time like this?” Li Qi came over, and patted Chen Ju’s shoulder with his palm, saying to the waiter: “Prepare a clean set of clothes and bring them here!”

The waiter quickly said: “Certainly, sir. Please come with us to the lounge first. There is a bathroom there.”

Chen Ju couldn’t speak a complete sentence at this time. He nodded indiscriminately, desperately hoping to leave this place.

Following the waiter out of the banquet hall, Chen Ju kept his head down the whole time, not daring to glance at the side. Whispers could be heard behind him. kfRinK

“He is Director Chen’s son, Chen Ju? That little overlord Chen?”

“No way, how did he become like this?”

“Shh, I heard a few years ago that Director Chen was arrested for breaking a law, and then his mother remarried immediately.”

“That’s too miserable…” wPxFZy

Those words pierced Chen Ju’s heart like knives. His face turned pale. He pursed his lips and quickened his pace, leaving this place as if fleeing.

“Sir, I’m really sorry. Please take a shower first, and someone will bring you clean clothes later.” The waiter said respectfully.

It was the first time Chen Ju was treated like this. He clutched the bag cautiously, nodded, and said dryly, “Thank you.”

Once the door was closed, only Chen Ju left in the room. He breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense nerves finally relaxed. l2xNPC

Fortunately, Li Qi was there; otherwise, he really didn’t know what to do in that situation.

Looking around, Chen Ju carefully put the schoolbag on the chair. As I bent down, his stomach gurgled. From morning till now, he had only eaten a pack of instant noodles worth 50 cents. He thought he could eat more at the evening banquet. But he didn’t expect this to happen.

“If I don’t want to be hungry, you won’t be. I can go out to eat after I finish bathing and changing clothes.” Chen Ju rubbed his belly and took a deep breath, as if he was really not hungry.

Chen Ju took off his clothes, folded them and held them in his arms, then walked lightly into the bathroom. The bathroom in this lounge was even more spacious than Chen Ju’s bedroom. dCpsmK

It had only been isolated from the world for six years, and the technology outside had developed so rapidly. There were so many switches on the shower device that Chen Ju struggled for a long time before finally turning on the shower head.

After taking a comfortable hot shower, Chen Ju washed his dirty clothes again. As he turned off the faucet and turned around, he suddenly saw a figure standing outside the door, startling him.

The figure printed on the frosted glass should be an adult man. Judging by the body shape, it was probably the waiter delivering the clothes.

Seeing outsiders, Chen Ju’s speech became stuttered again. He clutched his clothes tightly, and said: “Thank you. Y-you can just leave the clothes outside. I’ll, I’ll get them myself.” UmrBI4

The person outside didn’t say anything. After waiting for a few seconds, with no visible figure outside the frosted glass, Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief. He neatly folded the clean clothes, put them in the plastic bag he had brought in beforehand, panning to wait until evening to take them back and hang them out to dry.

Carrying the plastic bag, Chen Ju pushed open the frosted glass door and walked out naked.

There were no clothes on both sides of the door. Could they have been put in the lounge?

Chen Ju didn’t think too much and went straight into the lounge. As soon as he entered, he saw a person sitting on a chair. Beside him was his schoolbag, with the zipper open, and its contents were scattered on the chair. An old yellow umbrella rolled over the man’s feet. srmyfw

Chen Ju was startled, and the plastic bag in his hand fell to the ground with a thud.

Jiang Zhou heard the sound and raised his eyes slightly, looking at Chen Ju with a heavy gaze.

Chen Ju blushed instantly. He squatted down immediately, picking up the plastic bag on the ground and using it to cover himself.

Why was Jiang Zhou here? Wasn’t he chatting with his classmates? Why did he appear here? SAYKPh

Chen Ju’s brain stopped functioning as the sudden situation caused green smoke to form.

It was so embarrassing that he wanted to find a hole to hide in immediately, where no one could find him.

Dong dong dong. There was a rhythmic knocking sound on the door, and the waiter’s polite voice sounded.

“The clothes are here, sir. May I know if it’s convenient for you to pick them up now?” yiobJL

Chen Ju buried his head in his knees, too ashamed to utter a word. The sound of steady footsteps was heard, followed by a click as the door opened. Jiang Zhou’s unique magnetic voice sounded, “Thank you.”

After the door closed, Jiang Zhou walked over and Chen Ju held his breath. Chen Ju hypnotized himself that this was just a dream, and he would wake up in his own bed.

“Put on your clothes.” Jiang Zhou’s deep voice sounded from above. Chen Ju felt his eyes darken, and his clothes covered his head.

Putting on the hotel clothes, Chen Ju stood in front of Jiang Zhou in a restrained manner. He was like a primary school student seeing his teacher, not knowing where to put his hands and feet. iqYmQ7

“Jiang Zhou, long time no see.” Chen Ju suppressed his excitement and whispered, trying to slow down his speech to make it seem more normal.

“Indeed, it’s been a long time.” Jiang Zhou said, playing with a key with a red string attached to it in his hand.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

Seeing that key, Chen Ju’s heart went up to his throat. It was the key to Jiang Zhou’s house.

He got it with some clever tricks during their high school years because Jiang Zhou had never invited him to his house. Chen Ju sent his younger brother to steal it from Jiang Zhou’s desk when he was in physical education class. dmRaqJ

Jiang Zhou never knew about it. After all this time, he should have forgotten that it was his key. Chen Ju prayed silently in her heart, but reality was cruel.

“Why did you have my house key?” Jiang Zhou asked.

Chen Ju’s heart skipped a beat. He hurriedly approached, trying to get the key back, but Jiang Zhou easily evaded him.

“You, you must be mistaken. That’s the key to my, my place…” Chen Ju stammered, forgetting to cover up the flaw. dcIf3h

“Really?” Jiang Zhou asked, his dark eyes deep and bottomless.

Chen Ju nodded nervously like a chick pecking at rice, and said, “Yes, yes, keys all, all look similar.”

After speaking, he stared at Jiang Zhou anxiously, wanting to see the slightest emotional fluctuation in the man. But obviously, there was none. From the past to the present, Jiang Zhou had been like an everlasting iceberg that would not melt for a thousand years. Nothing could melt him away.

Jiang Zhou tossed the key back into his schoolbag, glanced at his phone, stood up and said, “The banquet is starting. Li Qi called us over.” ETRj91

Chen Ju paused for a moment, and then replied happily: “Alright.”

Could he arrogantly assume that Jiang Zhou came here specially to invite him to the banquet?

But it was impossible to think about it. It should be Li Qi who asked him to come over. After all, he had done so many stupid things in the past. Jiang Zhou must hate him to death.
