Francine had learnt from her past she didn't want to get bullied as a weak little girl anymore, so she cut her hair very short it's a boy style. She changed the way she dress up to be like a boy style also with jeans and hoodie leather jacket. She had been practicing her karate very hard lately to forget those embarrassing moment. She told her mom that day, she would go to big city to find a job.
Francine :"Mom, I've graduated from high school now, I want to find a job in the big city just like brother. I've called him to find me some jobs in there."
Her mom :"When will you go ?"
Francine :"I'll take morning bus tomorrow."
Her mom :"OK, just take good care of yourself well."
Francine :"Don't worry mom, I've grown up now. Please don't be lonely if I left you, you still have Li Wei and Xiao Jun here."
Her mom tried to hide her tears, but she saw it, she hugged her from back, and they crying together.
Francine :"I love you mom ! Please don't cry, I won't leave you forever. I want to help brother and you to earn some money for you, Li Wei and Xiao Jun. I want to study at university also someday."
Her mom :"I know my child, if you had set up a goal no one can stop you. I just hope the best for you. I'm sorry I can help you more."
Francine :"No mom, you've helped me a lot, you've raise me up till now with your hard effort, I thank you for all that you've done to me. Now let me do it for myself though I can't pay back to you for now, but I will someday."
Her mom :"Don't think about me I can struggle for myself well, just think about yourself."
The next day Francine had packed her stuff and she told to Li Wei and Xiao Jun to take care of their mom.
Wendy Xu Li Wei and Jerry You Xiao Jun were taken to their house six years before because their village got flood and they lost their parents. Ethan had saved them both from float off, their mom was too soft heart, she couldn't bear to see them suffer, so they've been taken to their house and raised up by their mom.They were still nine and seven years old at that time.

Unknown to his father he had been used and fooled by those gangster all these years. Since his father getting older, he's getting weaker also, now the gangster had an eye to recruit Ethan by cheating to replace his father. Ethan knew their bad intentions that's why he ran away to big city to earn some money to study in the university, he wanted to be a lawyer to punish those people who had taken advantages of their father so many years. Ethan had been studying Law for a year now, but he still working in the morning as a driver and he also taught karate for kids twice a week. He used to work at the bar before, but he quit since he took night classes at the university.
Francine got into the B city in the afternoon by bus, she knew his brother was still busy, so she decided to looked around the city by herself "Big City I'm coming !" She got his brother address, she tried to learnt about public transport to get into his apartment. She texted him that she had arrived, she left her luggage in the living room then left again to looked around the neighborhood. She walked around to see if there was a vacancy for her, suddenly a man in a suit walked fast and crashed her, his coffee got spill out to her arm "Ouch it's hot !" her arm got red. He got shock "Oh I'm sorry, did I hurt you ? Let's go to the hospital you got burnt !"
Francine :"No, no need my arm got burnt a little, just find me some ointment for burnt wound."
The man :"OK let's go the pharmacy there." The man took her to the pharmacy near by, he told to the shopkeeper to buy medicine for burnt wound.
