Great-Grandfather Fang was so caught off-guard by his wife's paparazzi-style filming that he burped.
The burp instantly erased all the simmering emotions that had built up inside him.

"In celebration of our Xiao Zhao winning the Galaxy Supernova Award! [red packet]"

Even though they ostensibly congratulated Great-Grandfather Fang, in their hearts they were contemptuous.
