If it were any other day seeing someone, Lin Youning would definitely stride out to greet them, but after hearing her aunt's words today, Lin Youning hesitated and didn't even know how to face the other person.
Thinking back over these days, ever since the rumors spread outside saying she wasn't the Lin family's daughter, her older brother seemed to have been keeping his distance from her courtyard.
