The Rebirth Waste Strikes Back Chapter 71

71 – Yi Bing's Suspicions

Yi Family.

“You went to look for Yi Fan?” Yi Huo asked, looking at Yi Chuxue.

Yi Chuxue nodded, and said unhappily, “Qi Shaorong really knows how to stick his hands into other people's business. He, a member of the Qi Family, actually got involved in our Yi Family's affairs.”

Yi Chuxue secretly thought: If it weren't for Qi Shaorong hindering her plans today, she definitely would've taught Yi Fan a little lesson.

Today was really… Too humiliating. A bunch of students from Tianlan College had surrounded her, watching her like it was a joke.

Thinking of those plebeian students to whom she didn't attach any importance, all of them pointing and laughing at her, Yi Chuxue felt too ashamed to show her face. Just what gave Qi Shaorong that guy the right to do something like that!

“The family's situation is already messy enough now, you should stop making trouble,” Yi Huo calmly said.

Yi Chuxue frowned, and said unpleasantly: “Brother, you're saying the exact same words that father said."

Originally, when Yi Chuxue was wronged at Tianlan College, she had gone to Yi Xun to ask him to do something about it for her, but Yi Xun only looked annoyed and told her to behave herself. Yi Chuxue felt dejected but there was nothing she could do.

Yi Huo looked at Yi Chuxue and secretly thought: Hu Feng now treats Qi Shaorong as if he were a treasure, and Hu Feng is a level nine master! There's really no need for the Yi Family to make such a powerful enemy. 

Yi Chuxue looked at Yi Huo and said, “Brother, I did it for you! Second Brother's accident was clearly caused by Yi Fan, yet everyone's saying that it was you…”

Yi Huo's face sank. He had had thoughts about making trouble for Yi Bing, but before he had even made a move, someone else had already done it first.

In addition to worrying about the rumors from outside, Yi Huo was also a little worried about the real culprit. Since the other party had attacked Yi Bing, then he was likely to be attacked as well.

The sound of footsteps traveled over. Yi Chuxue turned her head to look at the person who was coming and blinked, “Second Brother, why are you up?”

Yi Bing looked at Yi Chuxue coldly and said, “I'm only injured, not paralyzed. What does it matter if I lie in bed all day? Chuxue, are you treating your Second Brother as a waste?”

Yi Huo was acutely aware of how bad Yi Bing's tone was. After returning to the family, Yi Bing's attitude towards her was very strange.

Yi Bing asked Yi Chuxue, “Chuxue, has the person who had harmed me inside the secret dimension been found?”

“Father said they haven't confirmed it yet, and are still investigating…” Yi Chuxue said.

Yi Bing sighed softly and said, “Elder Brother, I think that the person who had attacked me most likely won't be found, what do you think?” Yi Bing's face was frosty, and he looked at Yi Huo with eyes that were full of extreme resentment.

Yi Huo looked at Yi Bing and tightened his brow, “What do you mean?”

“What do I mean? Is Elder not clear of this?” Yi Bing asked.

Yi Huo clenched his fists and a bit of anger flashed through his heart. It obviously wasn't him, but Yi Bing seemed to have his mind set on it being him.

“It wasn't me,” said Yi Huo.

"Rest assured, even if it were you, the family wouldn't think so. Otherwise, Father wouldn't have not been able to identify the attacker even by now.” Yi Bing lowered his head, and a deep feeling of resentment flashed through his heart.

Yi Bing's heart was cold. He had told his father, Yi Xun, that Yi Huo was the one who had attacked him inside the secret dimension, but Yi Xun told him that he was mistaken. Yi Bing gradually understood that he had become a waste, while Yi Huo was still a talent of the Yi Family, so he was abandoned by his father.

Yi Chuxue frowned. No matter how obtuse Yi Chuxue was, she was still able to notice the tense atmosphere between Yi Bing and Yi Huo.

“Second Brother, what are you talking about! Second Brother, the matter regarding your injuries must have something to do with Yi Fan.” Yi Chuxue said.

Yi Bing looked at Yi Chuxue and said, “Chuxue, in order to prove your Elder Brother's innocence, you're really willing to lie with your eyes wide open!”

Having his strength destroyed greatly affected Yi Bing, so that even Yi Bing's love for his younger sister began turning into hate.

“Your injury has nothing to do with me,” said Yi Huo.

Yi Bing snorted coldly and said, “Then am I blind?”

"Did you see me?” Yi Huo asked.

Yi Bing coldly gazed at Yi Huo and said, “Brother, a true man should have the courage to accept the consequences of his actions.”

“Do you really think that even if I wanted to harm you, I'd use this kind of method? Qian Mian from Tianlan College had posed as Chen Yuan, maybe there was someone who had pretended to be me.” Yi Huo said.

Yi Bing looked at Yi Huo and said, “It doesn't matter. Elder Brother, you will be the only heir to the Yi Family in the future. Congratulations.”

Yi Huo: “…”

Yang Man walked in and said, “Lao'er [1], why did you get up? Light Priest Zou Luo said that you need to stay in bed right now and rest.”

A bit of ridicule flashed through Yi Bing's eyes, “I'm already like this now, resting or not resting wouldn't make a difference.”

There was some distress in Yang Man's eyes. These twins of hers have always been her pride, and also the basis of her foothold in the Yi Family. In these years, Yi Huo and Yi Bing have given her a lot of face. Unfortunately, Yi Bing's accident this time has ruined everything.

Yang Man lowered her head and secretly thought: She didn't know how many people outside were looking at her situation like it was a joke. Not just the people outside, but she was afraid that there were even many people in the Yi Family who were also watching and ridiculing her.

Yang Man placated Yi Bing and Yi Huo, and she found that the atmosphere between the two brothers was not very warm. She couldn't help sighing in her heart.

Yi Chuxue followed Yang Man and walked out, saying, “Mother, just what happened between Elder Brother and Second Brother?”

Yang Man lowered his head and didn't speak. Yi Xun has already made it clear that Yi Bing's injury was impossible to heal. She only has Yi Huo now, and nothing must happen to this son of hers. However, was Yi Bing's injury really caused by Yi Huo? It's hard to say.

“It's nothing,” Yang Man said.

“Mother, today I went to find Yi Fan on behalf of Second Brother. But Qi Shaorong… Mother, you have to take revenge for me!” Yi Chuxue said.

Yang Man looked at Yi Chuxue with penetrating eyes, her face cold, and said, “Chuxue, why can't you just stop doing things that cause me so much worries?”

Yi Chuxue lowered her head. If her father and older brother were like this, then fine, but even her mother was acting like this now.

Yi Fan returned to his residence.

Mu Xuelan stepped out of the room and said, “You're back?”

Yi Fan looked at Mu Xuelan and said, “You haven't moved out yet?”

Xiang Yun looked at Yi Fan, “You! Miss is willing to live here to give you face! What are you urging us for!”

Yi Fan looked at Xiang Yun and said, “I'd really like to thank your miss for giving me face, but I don't need it.”

Mu Xuelan looked at Yi Fan and said, “Yi Fan, Yi Bing had an accident, did you know?”

“I didn't know, but Miss Mu has told me now,” said Yi Fan.

Mu Xuelan: “…”

Xiang Yun said somewhat bitterly: “Yi Fan, what are you doing talking so aggressively? If you're really ambitious and want to prove yourself, an opportunity has arrived. Yi Bing has become a waste, and rumour has it that Yi Huo was the one who did it. Yi Huo is so indifferent and unscrupulous, I'm afraid that it'd be difficult for him to convince the public otherwise.”

Yi Fan looked at Xiang Yun and narrowed his eyes, “I have already been expelled from the Yi Family. The Yi Family's affairs have nothing to do with me.”

Mu Xuelan looked at Yi Fan and tentatively said, “Yi Fan, are you really content with that?”

Yi Fan smiled and said, “What reason is there for me to not be content?”

Xiang Yun frowned as she looked at Yi Fan's back and said, “Miss, Yi Fan that guy is really destined to be useless [2], he doesn't have any gumption at all.”

Mu Xuelan took a deep breath and said, “I never would've thought that the Qi Family's Qi Shaorong would actually turn out to be that kind of character.”

Xiang Yun frowned and was full of contempt as she said, “The Qi Family's waste may be fake, but Yi Fan is a real waste!”

Mu Xuelan gazed at Yi Fan's receding figure and said, “Yi Bing's injury is really strange. I had originally thought that… Forget it, it's not possible.”

Xiang Yun pouted and said, “Young Master Yi Bing, what a pity.”

Yi Fan walked inside, and a cold light flashed through his eyes. Mu Xuelan actually tried to persuade him to intervene in the Yi Family's problems. Did that woman really have this intention, or was she trying to sound out his thoughts for someone else?

Yi Fan walked inside and found that there was some dust in the room. Yi Fan smiled a little bitterly. He really hasn't returned for a long time. Mu Xuelan, that lazy woman, raised a lazy maid, and none of them even bothered to clean up the room a little.

“Who's there?” Yi Fan said.

Yi Xun stepped out from around the corner and said, “You're back?”

“What did Earl Yi come here for [3]?” Yi Fan asked lightly.

“Yi Bing encountered an accident, did it have anything to do with you?” Yi Xun asked.

Yi Fan laughed coldly and said, “Earl Yi, you really know how to tell a joke. The person who had caused Yi Bing's accident, are you not clear in your heart about who it is? What, is it because Yi Bing is already a waste, so Earl Yi is reluctant to punish the real culprit? Do you want to use me as a scapegoat? “

Yi Xun narrowed his eyes and said, “Yi Bing's matter has nothing to do with Yi Huo. Don't talk nonsense.”

“It doesn't matter if I say this,” said Yi Fan.

“Are you really happy that something happened to Yi Bing?” Yi Xun asked.

Yi Fan smiled and said, “Happy, of course I'm happy, Yang Man must also be very happy! What she likes doing the most is yelling and cursing at people who are wastes, now that Yi Bing has become a waste, she can yell and curse however much she wants. I think that that woman must be feeling very happy now. “

“You shut up! You unfilial son, you've already caused the death of your own mother, and you still don't know how to respect your stepmother.” Yi Xundao said.

Yi Fan lowered his head, and his face looked a little gloomy.

Yi Xun stared at Yi Fan and said, “Even if Yi Bing has become a waste, you'd better not have any extra thoughts. Your Second Brother may be a waste, but there is still your Eldest Brother. No matter what, you don't stand a chance.”

Yi Fan smiled and said, “Earl Yi, you don't have to specially come over here to remind me of this. I've never had the luxury to care about the Yi family before.”

Yi Xun looked critically at Yi Fan and said, “It's good that you're self-aware.”

Yi Xun gave Yi Fan a few warnings and left.

Yi Fan looked at Yi Xun's receding back, and clenched his fists. Yi Bing has become a waste, but Yi Xun seemed to be very calm. Although it makes sense, he had two talented sons after all. Even if one became a waste, there's still the other one left, so it still hasn't gotten to the point when all hope has been lost [4]. Now it looks like the matter of Yi Huo must also be taken care of. Yi Xun seemed to have some doubts that Yi Huo harmed Yi Bing, but Yi Bing's probably convinced that Yi Huo was the one who harmed him.

Thinking of this, Yi Bing felt proud. Such a guy had suddenly turned from a talented genius into a waste, but the elders of the family were all shielding the real “culprit”. That guy must definitely be feeling very angry right now.

Footnotes:

Lao'er: A familiar way of calling the second-born or second-oldest in the family.Useless: "Cracked clay can't support the wall", means something that's inept, worthless, useless, etc.Earl: Can also be translated as "count", I'm pretty sure that both mean the same thing. It's a rank of nobility below that of a marquis and above that of a viscount. Also, Yi Fan's father is an earl?All hope has been lost: "When the mountains and rivers end", meaning when a person is at the end of the rope, or there's no resources left, or all hope is gone.

T/n: Is there any way for me to change the settings on this website so that the comments are automatically approved? Right now I have to go through and manually approve some of the comments, but I'm not on here often so I usually forget and then the comments don't actually show up for others to be able to see them until like 2-3 days later, and I kind of feel bad about it.

Also, off topic but is it just me, or has this week been going by really slowly? Sunday feels like it was ages ago, and I can't believe it's only Wednesday today? Ugh.

Anyway, I feel like not much has been happening in these chapters lately, but if I remember correctly, in the next chapter Zhuang Hao and the Ghost Doctor meet again, so there's that to look forward to!

Let me know if you find any mistakes!
