Chapter 29

After work, Zhang Xuanxuan went to visit Hong Shiguang's house and took Tian Jingzhi along to apologize. The two walked out of the elevator, and Tian Jingzhi looked around enviously tooting: “The top floor apartment in the city center, your fiancé is really rich… you evil capitalists.”

Zhang Xuanxuan raised her chin proudly and said with a smile, “Of course, as soon as the news of the marriage between the Zhang family and the Hong family was announced, the stock prices of both families increased drastically.”

Tian Jingzhi bumped her shoulder: “Then why didn’t you let me buy some (stock)?”

Zhang Xuanxuan gave her a sideways look, “No matter how steady stocks are, as long as you buy it, it will fall miserably. If you are short of money, let this sister sponsor you, okay? Please don't buy our stock!"

Why did she have to be so direct? Tian Jingzhi pouted unhappily. If she can’t buy it, she won’t buy it. How could she have the money to enter the stock market? She still lacked funds to dig more wells. Zhang Xuanxuan rolled her eyes, locked her neck with her arm, and dragged her away.

In the living room, Hong Shiguang sat on the sofa with a pale face. He was wearing a set of white home clothes today, and his coat was casually draped over his body.

He smiled apologetically: “I'm so sorry, it's obviously because of my health that I disturbed your work, and even made Miss Tian visit personally.”

Tian Jingzhi waved her hand quickly: “It was obviously my boyfriend's fault. However, he usually goes to the Taekwondo gym to teach children, so I’m here to apologize to you.”

“He’s a taekwondo coach? Because of my weak body, the doctor told me to exercise more, but I don't like the gym set. Taekwondo sounds nice…”

Tian Jingzhi nodded and said, “He teaches children in that taekwondo gym, but there is an adult class, and the old mentor teaches it personally. I'm very familiar with him, so I can introduce you.”

Hong Shiguang nodded slightly: “Then please.”

Zhang Xuanxuan walked into the living room with a fruit plate and complained, “I am also a guest, but I’m still being ordered around.”

Hong Shiguang looked at her and smiled, “This is preferential treatment for patients.”

“If you have time to enjoy preferential treatment, then please exercise your body to be healthier.”

Hong Shiguang raised his hands and surrendered, “Okay, my dear fiancée, I'm going to change my clothes, please take care of Miss Tian.”

As soon as Hong Shiguang left, Tian Jingzhi ate the fruit and asked happily, “Your fiancé wants to invite me to dinner?”

Zhang Xuanxuan took a sip of tea gracefully: “You overestimate yourself, we are going out at ten o'clock for a charity event.”

“What about me?”

“Your face has swollen bigger than a TV. Let alone dinner, just go home for a run.” pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

“...”

A small stage was set up on the open field outside the Children's Welfare Institute, with the banner "Opening Ceremony of the Starlight Children's Welfare Institute" hanging behind it. Zhang Xuanxuan was sitting under the stage, with a lot of media reporters behind her, while her fiancé, Hong Shiguang, was speaking on the stage.

“The basic requirement for a welfare home is to keep the children from starving and freezing. The welfare home donated by the Hong Corporation will strive for a higher standard… We will also care about children's mental health and spiritual aspirations, so that children can truly feel the warmth of home. That's all for my speech, thank you.”

Hong Shiguang stood on the stage as applause continued. He embodied the nickname “Holy Man”, he was graceful and upright.

When Hong Shiguang stepped off the stage, the reporters immediately seized the opportunity to surround him and Zhang Xuanxuan. Fortunately, Zhang Xuanxuan had three bodyguards by her side, so she was not crowded, but was completely blocked by the microphone.

“Hello, Mr. Hong, we have seen you and your fiancee, Miss Zhang Xuanxuan, appear frequently in the public eye recently. Is the wedding date approaching?”

Hong Shiguang smiled and turned to look at Zhang Xuanxuan beside him.

Zhang Xuanxuan smiled slightly, and answered without leaking any extra information: “I will inform everyone once there is good news, thank you.”

Another reporter immediately asked: “Mr. Hong emphasized the mental health of children just now. Was this also because of your own childhood experience?”

Hong Shiguang nodded: “Of course, I didn’t receive much love when I was a child, and my inferiority complex still affects me today. So I take this opportunity to remind everyone to spend more time with your family, so that the children can live in a loving environment, thank you.”

“Have you also begun to think about the education of your children? Also, do you prefer boys or girls?”

Unexpectedly, the reporter's thoughts jumped so quickly, Hong Shiguang was stunned for a moment. He turned to look back at Zhang Xuanxuan, laughed and joked with the reporter: “From getting married to having children, you must be a fan of Miss Zhang Xuanxuan… you’re even more anxious than me. “

The embarrassment was resolved in a couple of sentences, and the reporters had a good laugh.

After dealing with the reporters, Hong Shiguang and Zhang Xuanxuan took a walk in the small garden at the children's welfare home. When she heard about Hong Shiguang's childhood experience, Zhang Xuanxuan was surprised, “Illegitimate child?”

Hong Shiguang nodded, “It seems that you haven't read my exclusive interview a few years ago, let alone the news when I inherited the Hong Corporation ten years ago.” pure tl. com is the original translat or, please do not re-post

Zhang Xuanxuan smiled lightly: “I should have still been in school then.”

Hong Shiguang stopped and said seriously: “Given the relationship between the two of us, it is still necessary for me to share my life’s history with you.”

Zhang Xuanxuan also stopped, with a look of listening intently.

“I was born in America and my mother died due to childbirth complications when I was born. I was brought up by a nanny and my father never came to see me once. The first time I saw him in person was his dead body, and it was also then that I inherited his will and assets.”

"Is the title of your interview 'Poor Boy Becomes Wealthy Overnight, His Hardships Growing Up Unknown'?"

“It didn't take more than a second, and the road to succession was not smooth.” He paused, with a hint of sadness in his eyes, “Because I was also an illegitimate child, I had to do a paternity test with a corpse.”

Hearing this, Zhang Xuanxuan was taken aback: “I'm sorry, that joke just now…”

Hong Shiguang smiled indifferently: “It doesn't matter, it’s all in the past.”

No matter what is said, what’s past is past. 

Hong Shiguang patted Zhang Xuanxuan's hand, and the two left together.
